there's quite a bit of irony here....
Is the irony that the state is concerned for the unborn "child" and is willing to look after the mother's health to protect the "child" who will soon be a U.S. citizen-- but it is not concerned if the mother considers the "child" to be a not-yet human but merely a fetus, and it is not concerned that the something that could happen to the "child" is an abortion?
