Well the time would be them removing the child with the intent to save both and render aid to both - even if there isn't a 100% effective treatment that can be given to the child its better than a 0% chance and having the intent to kill them.

I don't remember the specifics of the child's condition, or its development stage, but I agree that it shouldn't be "aborted" if it could potentially be saved.

The part I don't agree with is knowing the child was dying, and doing nothing to save the mother with a high chance of dying too - simply because they left the dying child inside her. It's irrational, and only makes sense in the context of a dysfunctional law.

Correct the law needs to be adjusted for that.
