Title        Was ABORTION Medical Error of Infanticide?

Abstract     The case involving Baby GIRL Smith, where a doctor performed an
             ABORTION and a nurse allegedly later discovered that the baby was
             still alive, is discussed.  At issue is whether the Pennsylvainia
             ABORTION Control Act criminalizes what some say was a medical
             mistake.
