Two doctors running a secret abortion clinic in Maryland are being charged with murder under the state’s fetal homicide law for aborting babies that could have survived outside the womb.
“This is a ground-breaking case that could have implications across the nation,” said Troy Newman, president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue.
Newman explained that the outcome “could blaze a legal trail that could eventually lead to major reforms in abortion laws.”
Doctors Steven C. Brigham of New Jersey and Nicola I. Riley of Utah were arrested on Dec. 28.
