Unlike in the violinist case, where I fail to save someone who is dying, abortion involves separating a healthy child from what it requires to live. Abortion is not an act of “failing to save” but is an act of killing that deprives a child of its right to live safely.211 It is on par with putting your infant out in a snowstorm that directly kills him, not just “fails to save (him) from an environment in which (he) cannot survive.”
