Baby born on flight to Boston

[hyphenate]

(NECN) - A woman who was 8 1/2 months pregnant went into labor during a flight from Amsterdam to Boston on New Year's Eve.

Two doctors who happened to be on the flight helped with the delivery.

After the plane landed, mother and baby were rushed to Mass General Hospital.

Both are believed to be doing well.

The mother is from Uganda, but the baby is a Canadian citizen because she was born over Canadian airpsace.

6. Yeah, and what about the father's citizenship? And the mother's age? and the...

...my head hurts.

Maybe this will give the tinfoil hatter wingnuts another conspiracy theory to tout: "We have learned from an unimpeachable secret source that Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii per se but in the airspace over the Pacific Ocean...and airspace over the Pacific Ocean is international, which makes him a man without a country, so..."

8. This kid can't run for US president unless there is a change in the law.

She is not a US citizen. She wasn't born in US. She was born in candadian airspace.
