Government should stay out of personal medical records. I am concerned about government intrusion into citizen's personal information. That's all.

It is under this 'right to privacy' that the abortion right was found in the constitution. I continue to read the constitution, and I don't see it. Maybe a conservative like yourself can finally explain to me what the liberals have seen for 30+ years.

Government should stay out of personal medical records.

That statement needs to be qualified, because it is not an exceptionless truth. There are situations in which the government is justified in examining medical records. What you have to argue in this case is that the harm done by the government's intrusion into these doctors' records is greater than the harm that is now being done and will be done to partially-born children if not examining these records ensures that the PBA ban will be overturned. That would not be an easy argument.

This is BS. The Pro Partial Birth Abortion people claim that is should be over turned because it does not take into consideration "Health of the mother". The governments case, to some extent will argue against that claim (The AMA agrees with the Government. The only way to argue this point is to see how many PBA were done for the mother's health. My guess is ZERO. It seems the Hospitals know this too. That is why they won't release the records. Banning PBA might cut into those profits and allow more nasty children to be born.
