Thanks for checking but what I really wanted everyone to read is the nurses eyewitness account highlighted at the bottom. You may know the procedure, as I did, but narrative is what is so compelling.

They have had viable delivery's at 20 weeks now so I would go even further and make second trimester abortions illegal as well.

20 weeks is not viable. The earliest viable baby was just born a few weeks ago at 21 weeks and a few days. At that early time in a pregnancy, every week counts. The problem why babies are not typically viable before 23-24 weeks has to do with lung development. There is physically nothing there to resusitate. The buds that collect oxygen from the air have not fully developed.

But don't get me wrong. They may not be able to exist outside of the womb, but they are still alive. I think all abortions unless the mother's life is at risk are horrible and should not be allowed. The procedure which was described by the nurse was sickening.

My only point is that the pro-abortion people really cannot make a case for killing a baby after 24-26 weeks because if that baby were born, it could survive outside of the womb. And if a baby can survive outside the womb and you end its life, you are committing murder. If these sickos at NARAL cannot even concede this point, they are beyond hope and are really heartless.
