I can’t wait for DemocRATS to push partial birth abortion on their 2008 platform.
On his lucid days, Pat makes pretty good sense.
Wouldn't that be funny? Of course the Dems just wouldn't let Bush nominate anyone but a liberal. Nobody would get past the judicial committee. And what could we do? We don't have the votes any more.
My son did a report on abortions at his college. When researching the topic, we found out that 46 mln abortions are performed all across the world annually. By comparison, the bloodiest of all wars, WWII, claimed 50 mln lives. How about that? Every year 46 mln babies are killed not in a war but during a deliberate routine medical procedure, by doctors and their own mothers.
Partial-Birth Abortion

Letter from Anthony P. Levatino, M.D., J.D., former abortionist, explaining that the images shown above "accurately depict" the partial-birth abortion method, and that "the images are size-appropriate to a fetus of approximately 24 weeks gestation." -- March 4, 2003
Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand, an Oxford and Harvard trained neonatal pediatrician and pain expert testified at the New York federal court hearings over the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. Dr. Anand testified that: "I believe the fetus is conscious," and that the pain during this procedure is "severe and excruciating" to 20-week-old pre-born children.
Under cross-examination, Dr. Anand said he believes a less-controversial abortion procedure, known as "dilation and evacuation" (D&E), would cause the same amount of pain to a child. An estimated 140,000 D&Es, the most common method of second-trimester abortion, take place in the United States annually. Washington Times
