I think you got the defination of 'still birth' confused Dan...
A stillbirth is when a baby is born dead for unknown reasons. (in other words, the woman had gone into labor at full or close to term and the baby died during the actual labor)
A miscarrage is when the baby dies for some reason before full term and is expelled by the womans body.
An abortion is when a doctor intentionally does something to the baby with in the mother to kill and remove it from the mothers womb.

So what Statikk was describing was an abortion. The doctor was intentionally doing something to kill that baby at near full term, which is illegal here in the states (at that state of development).
And don't give me that 'it is not a baby yet' crap...I see it as a baby no matter what stage of development it is in!

*is sick and irritable, so don't mess with me.*
