NEW YORK (AP) -- At closely watched abortion trials across the country Tuesday, one doctor said he will risk breaking a new law banning some abortions and another said he fears he will be prosecuted for doing a form of abortion "I consider safer."

At trials in New York, San Francisco and Lincoln, Neb., lawyers for abortion rights advocates baby murderers are putting doctors on the witness stand to support their claim that the law, signed by President Bush in November, is unconstitutional.

Tough.

Go protect a convicted serial killer and leave innocent babies alone.

Besides, he said, many women request that the fetus be preserved as intact as possible for a proper burial or so full testing can be done to learn why the pregnancy failed.

Failed? If the pregnancy had failed, there would be no need for a late term abortion!

Grim Reaper Ping!

[onedoug]

Pathological abortionists.

The government maintains that the ban would affect as few as several thousand abortions annually, while lawyers for plaintiffs say 130,000 of the 1.3 million abortions performed annually in the United States may be affected.

Good start.

"It is the same as any baby dying. People want to hold the fetus," he said, adding that he goes so far as to put a cap on the head of the fetus just as he would a newborn

Carthage and Baal would be proud. How disgusting can you get here ?

Government lawyers say the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act prohibits an "inhumane and gruesome procedure" that causes pain to the fetus and is never necessary to protect the health of a woman because there are proven and safe alternatives.

To those that support a woman's right to murder her unborn, it doesn't matter. A dead baby is all that matters.

If 2nd and 3rd trimester baby killings are not allowed, some "doctors" will loose their means of income.

That would be reprehensible.

What would happen to pro-killing, pro-murder, oops, I meant to say pro-choice.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

He said the law was so vague that it could outlaw virtually any type of abortion performed during the second trimester because the fetus is sometimes still alive as it is brought outside the body.

He said the process of pulling the fetus partially out of the woman's body and then puncturing the skull to collapse the soft tissue and squeeze the head out is often the safest method available.

Oh, that sounds "safe" all right! Black is white, up is down, good is evil.

WTH! how sick is that, you kill you baby and want to have a proper burial!!!

Dr. Amos Grunebaum said the process of pulling the fetus partially out of the woman's body and then puncturing the skull to collapse the soft tissue and squeeze the head out is often the safest method available.

"Grunebaum, a specialist in maternal fetal medicine at New York Hospital, said he fears that after 30 years of practicing medicine and after performing 1,000 abortions"

1000 abortions!?!?!

As Comrade Stalin would say, "One death is a tragedy, 1000 is a stastistic.
