Whitner v. South Carolina (1997)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the case Whitner v. South Carolina in 1997, the South Carolina State Supreme Court defined the concept of a child to include viable [4] fetuses. This allowed grounds for prosecution of a pregnant woman?s prenatal activity if those activities endangered or could potentially endanger the fetus [5] within her. The case brought the issue of fetal rights versus pregnant women?s rights to light. The case also explored whether or not the conviction of a pregnant woman was in the best interest of a fetus [5], because fear of prosecution could lead the woman to not seek prenatal care or to seek an abortion [6] outside of licensed clinics.
