PBA's, [as heard from those who perform them (Tiller, et al)], are often performed on girls/women who "don't want a kid right now/can't afford it/forgot, again".

With regard to the health of the mother issue, I agree that it's very uncommon. I'm sticking to my guns that the example mentioned above is a good reason to keep reasonable protections for mom in the law. Not the recommendations that Pelosi, et al made, but reasonable protections.

Also, I'm sticking to my point about fetal abnormality being a significant reason for a very large number of late-term abortions. Most non-invasive anomoly screenings, such as ultrasound aren't done until 18-22 weeks. Again, I'm not saying that it's right, I'm saying that it's a major factor.

Your 'reasonable protections' are anything but reasonable. They are a loophole that is so big you could drive a truck through it....in fact, the existence of that loophole would allow all current abortions to take place.

I don't buy it. But even if it were true, it would be a wicked practice, wouldn't you say? Ever known any handicapped kids, gooper?
