Abortionists Admit Dismemberment Horror

Abortionists Admit Dismemberment Horror

"Another doctor a day earlier had testified that a fetus sometimes does not immediately die after limbs are pulled off."

That's the sole reference we could find to the major piece of blockbuster testimony in searching the wire services today for accounts of the partial-birth abortion trial going on in New York.

Pro-abortion reporters and editors don't like to dwell on reality, doncha know.

Here's some slightly less horrific testimony that the media will relate from U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

"Does the fetus feel pain?" Judge Richard C. Casey on Wednesday asked another abortionist, Dr. Timothy Johnson, a plaintiff in one of three lawsuits challenging the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Johnson: "I guess whenever I ..."

Judge Casey: "Simple question, doctor. Does it cross your mind?"

The abortionist said it did not.

Judge Casey: "Never crossed your mind?"

Johnson: "No."

Judge Casey: "So you tell her the arms and legs are pulled off? I mean, that's what I want to know. Do you tell her?"

Johnson: "We tell her the baby, the fetus, is dismembered as part of the procedure, yes."

Casey asked if abortionists admitted to the mother about "sucking the brain out of the skull" of the baby.

Some Settling of Contents May Occur

Johnson: "I don't think we would use those terms. I think we would probably use a term like 'decompression of the skull' or 'reducing the contents of the skull.'"

Judge Casey: "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

Johnson: "We try to do it in a way that's not offensive or gruesome or overly graphic for patients."

How can this nation allow abortions to continue? Are people without any heart? There should be nation-wide protests of millions across the U.S. demanding it be stopped. How come only a few hundred ever show up?

Some would prefer a quick death over years of emotional misery and/or abuse.

You're a moron.

So, what is all this protest about abortion?

Maybe life begins with the SEX ACT???

Funny how no one protests about THAT, when it occurs under inappropriate circumstances,,,

I guess it's the:

"Right to have sex without being prepared for the expected result, huh?"

It is NOT abortion that is the problem, it is careless SEXXX, plain and simple.

And what kind of childhood would her child have?

Don't you think the child should have the right to choose?

HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS (one count - 250,000) showed up at the 30th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade March for life in Washington DC. The media simply refused to cover it...

Someone tell me what is not "offensive, gruesome or overly graphic" about an abortion! What a sicko. I often wonder how doctors who perform abortions can live with themselves. Do they hear the screams of dying children in their dreams? I hope so.

A "woman's right to choose" has become a standard option of birth control, after the fact. Why should a woman worry about getting pregnant if she can change her mind mid-stream? If it wasn't an option, do you think these women who don't want to be mothers might do something about not getting pregnant in the first place - do they know what the steps are to create a pregnancy - surely they know what the steps are to terminate it. It's become such a travesty to have life created and then litterally sucked away because someone's mind has changed.

don't confuse support of a woman's right to choose with wanton encouragement of abortion.

"A woman's right to choose" is usually synonymous with "protecting a women's reproductive rights."

I'm all in favor of protecting reproductive rights, and a woman's right to choose....whether she will conceive. But once she's conceived, the issue is no longer her "reproductive rights." She's pregnant, and that means she's carrying a new human life. That life should be protected.

The US Dept. of Health and Human Services had requested of a San Francisco hospital information on the partial-birth abortions done at the hosptial (I suspect because the hospital is likely a PBA mill). The hospital refused, citing "patient privacy," and that's apparently the basis of one of the court challenges to the PBA law. I really hope that what the court comes down with is a decision that decides for the protection of the unborn, over the privacy rights of either the hospital or the patient. This would be a poison pill which would eventually shatter the whole basis of Roe v. Wade.

Did anyone bother to ask the baby? You are an absolute idiot.
