If people would take the time to read S 3, the so-called ban on partial birth abortion; they will find out that it does NOT ban Partial Birth Abortion!
believe it or not, there is a "clause" allowing the baby to still be murdered so long as his navel is not showing.
I wish someone could prove me wrong on this one, it's making me think very little about Rick Santorum, Chris Smith and the rest of the "pro lifers" who pulled the wool over our eyes.
No one can prove you wrong, cause it's on the record:

CHAPTER 74 -- PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTIONS
"Sec.
"1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited
§1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited
(a) Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself. This subsection takes effect 1 day after the date of enactment of this chapter.
(b) As used in this section --
(1) the term 'partial-birth abortion' means an abortion in which --
(A) the person performing the abortion deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetusMoreover the process of Partial Birth Abortion takes three days.
When does a procedure REQUIRED to save the life of the mother take 3 days!
Why not induce labor and just deliver, or do a c-section and skip the part where they jab sissors in the back of the child's head and suction out their brains.
The sole purpopse of PBA and all abortions is to kill the child and make money. Not help the mother. Just stating the obvious.
