Key Facts on Partial-Birth Abortion

(excerpts)

In a partial-birth abortion, the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb). The abortionist punctures the base of the baby’s skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar. He then inserts a catheter (tube) into the wound, and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby.

The January 2003 Gallup poll found that 70% favored and 25% opposed “a law that would make it illegal to perform a specific abortion procedure conducted in the last six months of pregnancy known as ‘partial birth abortion,’ except in cases necessary to save the life of the mother.” (margin of error +/- 3%)

The term “partial-birth” is perfectly accurate. Under both federal law and most state laws, a “live birth” occurs when a baby is entirely expelled from the mother and shows any signs of life, however briefly -- regardless of whether the baby is “viable,” i.e., developed enough to be sustained outside the womb with neo-natal medical assistance. Even at 4½ months (20 weeks), perinatologists say that if a baby is expelled or removed completely from the uterus, she will usually gasp for breath and sometimes survive for hours, even though lung development is usually insufficient to permit successful sustained respiration until 23 weeks.

Some prominent defenders of partial-birth abortions, such as NARAL's Kate Michelman and syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman, insisted that anesthesia kills the babies before they are removed from the womb. This myth has been refuted by professional societies of anesthesiologists. In reality, the babies are alive and experience great pain when subjected to a partial-birth abortion.

[Prokopton]

Amen. But we must work hard to make sure the next resident of the White House is not only against this grotesque procedure but also against the torturous and painful burning and cutting apart of millions of live babies in the womb.

Some (RINOs) are. They call it "Choice."

Abject and brutal murder of an innocnet, living, human being. I pray for the time when those participating in such practices are prosecuted for the brutal murderers they are.

If you can't trust a man to protect the most innocent and vulnerable how can you trust him in any other way? The right to life is fundemental.

We need to keep up the fight to keep this at the top of our platform, and on the lips of our candidates. It's pure evil.

[WalterSkinner]

..a very loud pro-life AMEN, JimRob...

[don-o]

But, but, but - doncha KNOW that the American people don't care about that pro-life stuff any more?

/sarc

The fact of the matter is that protection of the unborn is the vital issue for millions of Americans. The political power ignores that at its own peril.

Without protection of the right to life, all our other right are up for grabs.
