At 26 weeks, surgeons opened a mother’s uterus, placed an IV in her baby’s tiny hand, and removed a tumor from the baby’s beating heart; the child remained in the womb for ten more weeks before birth. On Going Rogue with Lara Logan, OB-GYN Bill Lyle describes fetal surgery and other treatments including blood transfusions and spina bifida repair and argues that such advances should change how people think about abortion. The conversation also turns to the practical and ethical questions surrounding high-risk pregnancy care, IVF and frozen embryos, and what happens when a mother’s life is in danger.
