Baby Kevin Law

The Baby Kevin Law is a unique law, making it manditory for expecting mothers to have an ultrasound in the second trimester to determine wheather or not the fetus has congenital defects, Down's Sydnrome, major deformaties, and other such debilitating disorders.

History of the Law

The law was passed in 2006, along with the Any-Time Abortion Law, under much controversy. The law was proposed by a group of mothers, all with children with extremely debilitating diseases that were not screened for during any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd trimester ultrasound tests. They were unhappy about having to spend money on a child with a disease which reduces the quality of life to nearly nothing. The government sympathised, and passed the proposed law.

Performing the tests

Tests are conducted in all three trimesters twice.

The first part of the test is conducted via an ultrasound imaging session. If any defects are detected, further tests are ordered.

The second part of the test is a placental fluid analysis. If any odd chemicals are detected, further tests are ordered.

The final part of the test is the imaging of the fetus. If the fetus is abnormal, it is terminated.

The termination of the fetus is in a dignified manner, usually a C-Section, or chemically. If it is found early, a vacuum is used to extrapalate the fetus.

Controversy

Many so-called "Baby Rights Advocates" have called the procedures barbaric. However, according to Section 3 of the Asgarnian Human Rights Laws,

 No fetus is comprable to a living human, unless it is fully capable of 
 life outside of the womb for 1 week un aided. Fetuses have no rights.

To some, this in and of itself is barbaric, but most public outcries are met with the plain and simple laws of the nation.
