The issue is labeling a nonvialbe fetus a person with all the rights of a person under equal protection. We aren't talking about "your" doctor. | I do happen to be a fan of universal health. . .too bad I have never seen a viable plan. 
Again though. . .who gets to determine what a "nonviable" fetus is? If it's alive then I think there is an obligation to try and save it. . .no questions asked. My friends daughters boyfriend was shot in the chest this weekend. . .no questions asked whether or not he was "viable". . .only trying to save him. It doesn't look like he will make it. . .but I don't see anybody walking away from him and refusing him care because of that.
