The debate over the rarely used mid-term procedure

First of all, I think it's a late-term procedure. Isn't that the case?

Second of all, if it's so rarely used, then why all the hue and cry about ending it. All the evidence has shown that this procedure doesn't benefit the mother in any way. Shut it down. It's rarely used, right? So what's the problem?

Shalom.

Go figure.....

that a narrowly written ban that allowed the procedure to be done if it was necessary to preserve the life and health of a woman could be acceptable

Please help me understand this. If we are delivering a baby that if born preterm would be viable for care, why on earth would we kill it instead of just delivering it healthy? And I'd like to know what kind of women would carried a wanted pg to say 28 weeks or so and then say, ok, abort the fetus rather than just delivering it to the care of NICU? This is still such a dishonest reasoning for this procedure. The only situation where a dead baby should be coming out of that womb is because the baby died in utero and is not being naturally expelled. The other alternative does not make any sense.

Sandra Day and other pro aborts are being dishonest with the "necessity" for partial birth murders.

ArG, where did the writer do his research.....the waiting room at planned parenthood? Describing the infanticide that is partial-birth abortion as a mid-term procedure is akin to referring to my 85 year old mother-in-law as middle aged.

The writer has no credibility on the subject of partial-birth abortion or society's continued quest to halt this macabre practice.

In rejecting Nebraska's law, the Supreme Court said it was too broadly written and violated a woman's constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

I am leafing through my copy of The Constitution and can't seem to find that particular right anywhere.

Gosh, those pics cut right to the core. You couldn't create such a horrific nightmare in any movie using any special effects.

Thanks for keeping these in the abortion threads where they belong, I've seen folks post them in non-related thread which is counter productive.

I think the web is going to go a long way towards ending this insane, brutal and criminal behavior. We don't have any "blackouts" here.

Bump for truth and freedom.

The Bush administration, re-igniting the national debate over so-called "partial-birth" abortions, has asked a federal appeals court to revive an Ohio ban on the procedure.

It's not clear to me that this was ever un-ignited.
