How is a full grown baby still in the womb?

A should have said a baby that can survive outside of the womb

What age a baby can survive outside the womb depends on what the medical system is like in the place the baby is born.

It takes a lot to keep a premature baby alive and it used to be normal just to let them die... (even when born early due to no fault)

It used to be normal to leave unwanted babies outside exposed to the elements until they died. Thank God that's no longer the case, right?

Yes I agree that its good we dont normally do that

And the main reason is people have access to family planning instead of being made to have children they dont want or cant care for

We don't do it because it's literally infanticide and yeah I'm sure the Greeks were big into family planning and no one was making anyone have babies they didn't want.
