 | | The medical condition of the child is assessed with the Apgar score, based on five parameters: heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, skin color, and response to stimuli. | | | The length of the second stage should be guided by the condition of the fetus and health of the mother. | | | In some cultures, the father cuts the umbilical cord and the infant is given a lukewarm bath to remove blood and some of the vernix on its skin before being handed back to its parents. |

| | Left to Die: Investigating Live Birth Abortion [Free Republic] |
| | Of course, the rationale for inducing premature labor, rather than perfoming a partial birth abortion, is because the process of labor and a "normal" delivery are less likely to result in complications for the mother (injury that could lead to problems with future ability to carry a baby to term, hemorrhage, etc.). | | | Labor/Delivery nurse Jill Stanek says live birth abortion infants are simply provided comfort care. | | | I kept thinking about the poor baby's perception of the world in the few moments it had. |

| | Testimony of Jill Stanek and Allison Baker to the US Congress regarding Live-birth Abortion |
| | In the event that a baby is aborted alive, he or she receives no medical assessments or care but is only given what my hospital calls "comfort care." "Comfort care" is defined as keeping the baby warm in a blanket until he or she dies, although even this minimal compassion is not always provided. | | | After he was pronounced dead, we folded his little arms across his chest, wrapped him in a tiny shroud, and carried him to the hospital morgue where all of our dead patients are taken. | | | I was recently told about a situation by a nurse who said, "I can't stop thinking about it." She had a patient who was 23+ weeks pregnant, and it did not look as if her baby would be able to continue to live inside of her. |

| | Family Planning Perspectives: Live births resulting from unintended pregnancies: Is there variation among states? |
| | Because unintended pregnancies are associated with adverse outcomes that affect the infant and the family,1 all states provide family planning services to reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy. | | | In 1987, CDC initiated PRAMS to establish state-specific, population-based surveillance of selected maternal behaviors that occur before and during pregnancy. | | | Conclusions: Data on which women have the greatest risk of delivering a live birth resulting from an unintended pregnancy may be extrapolated from one state to another, but the rate of such births may overestimate or underestimate the problem from one state to another. |

| | While these give birth to only 1, and occasionally 2, offspring a couple of times per year, the babies are large and better-developed when compared to other lizard offspring. | | | True live-bearing animals are called viviparous and the major difference is that no internal egg structure is present at anytime during the development of the offspring. | | | Ovoviviporous is the correct scientific term for animals that carry the eggs internally and upon delivery of the offspring the entire shell structure has thinned to the point that only the thin mucous membrane remains from which the offspring emerges. |

| | Live Birth Abortions - The Testimony of Jill Stanek |
| | The goal is simply to prematurely deliver a baby who dies during the birth process or soon afterward. | | | But what was most distressing was to learn of the method Christ Hospital uses to abort, called induced labor abortion, now also known as "live birth abortion." In this particular abortion procedure doctors do not attempt to kill the baby in the uterus. | | | Ironically, at Christ Hospital the cause of death often listed for live aborted babies is "extreme prematurity," an acknowledgement by doctors that they have caused this death. |
