The story

Following a car accident, Marty Klein is advised that only an abortion can save the life of his comatose and pregnant wife, Nancy. Other doctors note that the wife is in no immediate danger, but Marty realizes those doctors are acting on anti-abortion views and want to reach the limit of the second trimester when abortion is disallowed. The husband reluctantly agrees to an abortion because his wife will be at high risk of death if she delivers a baby while comatose.
