Maryland has a such a law under consideration. It assures the mother thst if she kills her living infant, she will not be investigated or prosecuted for murder. That’s the same thing as allowing it.
The key word in the proposed law is PERINATAL, which can mean uo to 28 days after birth. Why did they not write PRENATAL, as in before birth? Answer: they wanted some leeway as to when the murder will be allowed.
That simply not true. Letting a healthy baby die is still murder. But neonatal deaths occur and failing to act to prevent such deaths would not be murder according to that bill.
