Doctors Say Courts Not Place To Decide On Abortion Definition
The Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics calls the courts ill suited to define abortion viability or moral issues and supports the 1973 Supreme Court decision. The ban came as Dr Kenneth Edelin was convicted in Boston for the death of a 20 to 22 week fetus during a 1973 abortion. The case spurred probes into juror conduct and a Nassau County complaint accusing infantide in a fetus aborted at Nassau Medical Center. Hutzel Hospital in Detroit cited the Edelin verdict as a factor in suspending abortions for women over 16 weeks, with possible resumption up to 20 weeks if conviction is overturned.
