Let me tell you as a physician about partial birth aboritons in the 3rd trimester.

Finally a doctor that may be able to answer this. In all this time we have been told that the partial birth abortion has to be protected because of the threat to the mother's life without it. Could you explain to me how after delivering the entire baby EXCEPT the head that delivering this last and smallest part would/could endanger the life of the mother. I mean I know, you'll say "well it doesn't", so I'm just curious how "they" can hold on to this concept without it being questioned.

Because their purpose is the delivery of a dead baby. Simple. If they wanted a live baby they would have a live baby. It has absolutely nothing to do with the life or health of the mother. NONE. I listened to the oral arguments on c-span the other day. They even talked about pre-eclampsia and eclampsia as a need for this procedure. ONly if you want a dead baby. The standard of care is induction of labor in pre-eclampsia and immediate C/S in the case of eclampsia. Dicking around doing a partial birth abortion would be malpractice. Unless the baby must be dead before completely delivered. I thought it amazing that the physician charged 5,000 a procedure. Medicaid pays me 1,260 and private insurance 2,500 for nine full months of care no matter what complications or whether vaginal or c/s delivery. Just think of the money this abortionist makes. I refuse to call him physician which is honorable. He is not.Another thing BC pills do prevent fertilization as their primary mechanism. They prevent ovulation. Yes they can prevent implantation(theoretically) but that is not the way they work if taken correctly. Our moderate is wrong.
