. . .
Under the law, the administration said, a fetus that survives an abortion procedure is no longer a fetus, but a person entitled to emergency medical care and protection against child abuse and neglect.
. . .
In a telephone conference call announcing the new enforcement policy, Mr. Smith could not provide a rule of thumb to distinguish a fetus from a “born-alive infant.”
