So you're saying the majority of america feels that doctors should not be placed with the "burden" of keeping babies alive when they are born alive.
I dare say the vast, vast majority of americans believe that human rights begin at birth. Obama fought to keep the term "previable" relevant even after a child was born.
You continue to gloss over this angle.
