The state *MAY* have the right to protect an unborn (viable) fetus against acts such as abortion. But, it's not that she *DID* something. (Act or Omission) The issue is not whether someone was able to consent and if a conservator should been appointed, the issue is whether someone can be *FORCED* to undergo an operation, and where that will end. 2 previous C/S don't make no difference here since they mainly influence her risk of rupture. Obviously there is no legislation about it. So one wonders about the plan behind this. Is the prosecutor up for re-election? It also troubles me to read that Nurses' (witness) statements about what the patient said to the Police find their way into the newspapers. These would be protected by privilege. el

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
