Thank you for the information.

Liberals love “science”. Because of Medical advances, Children born after only 26 weeks in the Womb can survive.
This is because of scientific advances.

Liberals don't care for that “science”.

The next question is when can an Infant in the Womb feel pain? That really gets the Libtards in a frenzy. They wouldn't let a Puppy in it's Mother's Womb suffer, but a Human, no problem.

We have to use the Liberal tool of “incrementalism” in reverse.

The Texas Law starts the process with the 20 week Restriction. We have to use words like “tortuous death” to describe Late Term Abortions. These clean words Liberals use, “choice” and “women's reproductive health” have become part of the language, and it was carefully planned that way, just like the bogus Republican War on Women.

Fetal "viability" has always been dependent on technology and nature. I have an aunt who was born over eighty years ago. She was more than THREE months premature, weighed a little over a pound and could fit in her mother's hand. After several weeks in a hospital incubator, her mother took her home, insisting she was better able to care for HER child. This baby thrived and never had a single disability. She is a great-grandmother herself today! So, medical knowledge is quite an inexact thing and modern advances in neonatology have shown that younger and younger premmies survive and go on to live meaningful lives.

I agree that liberal takeover of terminology has given them an advantage in the culture "war" over abortion. I'd guess that most people ARE personally opposed to abortion - at ANY time - but have reservations about having a right to deny a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy the option of abortion. Polls these days show more and more people are on the pro-life side of the gulf, stating that abortion should only be legally available in the case of immediate threat to the woman's life and even the pro-aborts will admit that this would be rarely done (about 1%). The majority of abortions are NOT due to any risks to the health of the mother.

There IS a move to advance a "Human Life Amendment" to the Constitution (http://nchla.org/issues.asp?ID=46. Its goal is to reverse the Roe v. Wade decision of the Supreme Court through numerous amendments and to restore the right to life to ALL human life enumerated first in the Bill of Rights in our country's founding documents. Even the judges that ruled in favor of Roe, admitted that they did not have the knowledge at that time to determine when human life begins. We DO know now that it starts at fertilization and implantation as everything but nourishment and time in a safe environment is there at that time. Most Constitutional scholars agree also that RvW was BAD constitutional law and should be readdressed. A call for a Human Life Amendment still remains in the Republican platform, and states:

Faithful to the “self-evident” truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.

I pray that this remains as a critical differentiation between the Republicans and Democrats (who, remember, barely allowed a reference to God, much less human life protection to be in their platform). Should the GOP remove this plank, they will lose many, many members - as they should.

One final thought...just as pictures coming back to America of the atrocities of the Nazi death camps spurred our country's action against them in WWII, so too will precise information of the gruesome and horrible facts of abortion shake America awake to the holocaust happening right here at over four thousand abortions every day. We cannot allow complacency and ignorance that permits the slaughter going on under our collective noses. We must never give up the fight for the right to life of the most innocent and vulnerable among us. As Dr. David Reardon of the Elliot Institute says, we must work so that abortion won't have to be made illegal because it will be unthinkable.
