Two out of state doctors were charged in Maryland with multiple counts of murder under the state's viable fetus law for performing late term abortions.

Dr. Steven Brigham, of Voorhees, N.J. and Dr. Nicola Riley of Salt Lake City, Utah were taken into custody and each is awaiting extradition hearings according to police in Elkton, Maryland. The doctors were arrested after a 16 month investigation.

After a woman who was the victim of a botched abortion was taken to a hospital, an investigation was launched and police discovered at the abortion clinic, after the botched abortion, a freezer with 35 late-term fetuses inside, including one believed to have been aborted at 36 weeks, authorities said.

(OP Note: There can be no other word for a 36 week old except one; "a baby")

Maryland is one of 38 states that allow the indictment of someone who kills a viable fetus. Previously these law were only used to to charge those with killing a pregnant woman. The State of Maryland's decision to cite this law in the arrests of these two doctors is good news for those who believe in the sanctity of life.

Pro-life activists understandably hailed these arrests. I hope these doctors are incarcerated with life sentences and provide an example to those who continue these barbaric procedures.
