AND ONLY THAT nothing more. If a stay has to be put on this bill to allow that exemption then I am ok with that. I love my wife and if it were her life and that of a child I am sorry I wpuld have to opt for the life of my wife.

There is never any medical or health reason to briefly pause childbirth long enough to kill the baby before he or she is fully birthed. In fact, birthing the feet first (as is done with the D&X procedure) is more dangerous to the mother than birthing head first. If you can deliver the child's legs and torso, there's no reason to not deliver the head - unless of course you intend the sneak into the legal window that allows you to murder the baby inches before full birth.

There are instances, few of course, but there are instances in which women have been told by medical doctors that having birth CAN be deadly. I am no doctor and these instances are long before the partial birth abortion debate even began. None of what you list below are in those circumstances and anyone with half a brain knows this. I am sure there are rare diseases or conditions in which a soon to be mother's life may be in danger if she were to give birth. I AM NOT FOR ABORTION but if my wife were told by a medical doctor NOT A BUTCHER DOCTOR that her life may end if she were to give birth, I am sorry but my wife lives and child goes. I have a child so I know how I would feel FYI.
