Michelle Obama Under Fire for 2004 Letter Defending Partial-Birth Abortions

Though the three-day-long partial-birth abortion procedure involves the partial birth of a baby during the middle trimester of pregnancy and the jamming of scissors into the back of her head to kill her, Obama's wife describes it as "legitimate" medicine.

"The fact remains, with no provision to protect the heath of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned," Michelle Obama writes in the letter.

Whether the baby is alive or has been murdered, delivery is still necessary, so I can think of NO SCENARIO where partial birth abortion could possibly save a woman's life.

Exactly. If you have to get the baby out for medical reasons, get it out, but do all possible to save its life.

Mainstream Democrats. What’s the big deal?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I remember Ronald Reagan once said, “It seems that everyone in favor of abortion has already been born.”

...or his race, or his “parenthood = punishment” stance...

I can understand why she would write such a letter. Her people use abortion as birth control. And there are those that want these people in the White House?

Obama's wife describes it as "legitimate" medicine.

Just curious, how popular is the partial birth abortion issue among the Democrats?

[Paperdoll]

?or his race, or his “parenthood=punishment” stance...

or aby of his best friend’s names.......

[chiefqc]

Or his lack of experience, or his lack of respect for the nations flag, or his need to play with his crotch rather than his respect for the flag, or his stand on aborting the innocent baby, or his - and the list keeps getting longer.

Didn’t Senator Bob Casey Jr., The Catholic Senator from Pa.,stronly endorse and recommend Obama to the voters of Pa.?

Isn’t Bishop James Clifford Timlin of the Scranton Diocese a leading Democrat and supporter of Bob Casey Jr?

[Gator113]

Michelle Obama is such a pathetic and filthy little bug.

This disgusting creature shouldn’t be allowed into the White House on a tour, let alone live there.

[BlueStateBlues]

The last time Michelle got something right was when she tied her star to a rising politican. Too bad he’s gay, but hey, she can’t have everything.

3 days? It takes 3 days? Wagglebee, can you explain?

[wagglebee]

I don’t know, and I’m not sure I want to know why it takes three days. I do know that the natural labor process comes into play, but I’m not totally sure why it takes so long.

Here is some info from Priests for Life which is fairly comprehensive, perhaps some of the FReepers I’ve pinged can better explain what is involved.
