The Libs will declare victory even if Kerry tossed his microphone down and challenged Bush to fist fight. We know the facts, and Kerry lost this debate by a wide margin. Kerry had no style and he certainly didn't have and substance in his comments

I'm sorry about your sister. I can't imagine going thru something like that. I hope she has recovered. I sure cannot say how I would feel if I or a loved one was in that situation, but I would hope I would have enough compassion for the child to carry it to term, and give the baby up for adoption if it was too painful a reminder. You're right--we must protect life.

His veiw could be likened to saying, "I don't think I should kill my neighbor, but if you want to, I won't impose my belief on you.

Exactly. We need to continually point this out.

A question and don't think I am pro abortion because I am not but it is something especially in Britain where officially abortion is only on health grounds but this is so wishy washy. All you have to say it that it was mentally affect the woman to have the child and get 2 doctors to sign to that effect and abortion under the NHS (free) is granted.

Right back to my question how do you answer the one if partial birth abortion is not performed the mother is most likely to die. This was the point Kerry made GWB did not answer it. This is a tough one is the mothers life worth risking for the sake of the child? Help please someone out there.

***and challenged Bush to fist fight. ***

He'd never do that. It might mess up his manicure.

Maybe a game of jacks or London Bridge is Falling Down.

AACCKK! I'm watching Susan Estrich on Fox; she gave our President a 'D' as a grade on the Debate! Utterly unreal how deluded these liberals are!

Dad recovering from cataract op mum not good. We have today contacted social services to see if they can help us with some respite care so that we can at least have a couple of days where we can have a decent night sleep without listening out for her. Thanks for asking and thanks for yours and everyone prayers.

Please pray for tonight she has attempted to get up once and I am delaying going to bed until she is asleep again.

My sister did not become pregnant as a result of her rape, it was many years ago and she is doing just fine. Thank you for the kind words

BTW, She has a 13 year old son and is a Police officer who works in the Youth Division as a crime scene investigator :-)

God works in mysterious ways :-)

This is gruesome, so be prepared.

In a partial birth abortion, the baby is at or close to term--would be able to live outside the mom. During labor, the baby is turned so it is born feet first (normal position is born head first). After the feet, legs, torso, all the way up to the head is born, out of the mother, the dr. takes a scissors or tube, stabs it in the base of the baby's skull, and sucks the brains out. The dr. then finishes delivering the (of course now dead) baby.

There is NO circumstance I know of (I'm an RN and Lamaze instructor) where the few seconds between the birth of the baby's body and the baby's head, would make a difference to the health of the mother. In fact, it has to take longer to hold the baby IN in order to kill it, than it would take for the push or two required to deliver the baby.

If there are problems with the mother's blood pressure, or bleeding, it would either be detected and treated before this point, or if it occurred at the time of birth, would be treated even as the baby was being born. There is just NO validity to the arguement that the mother's life would be endangered by NOT performing a partial birth abortion.

If you have any more questions, please ask. I'm glad to clear them up as best I can.

Pay no mind to that Hatchet Woman, She would declare a liberal as the winner even if he sat there silent for 90 minutes

Yes, definitely something that requires the Pres. to wear shorts. :-)

Didn't I say I was going to bed?

That's so true!

I almost fainted, because Cee Cee Conley was more fair to our President than Estrich, and, boy, is that sayin' something!

I can answer that in part : I was a pregnant woman, who, if Hildebeast had been successful in her Medical plan back in 93, there is a good chance that my doctor would have been forced to choose between refusing service or performing a partial birth abortion. I had had placenta previa, and in the March 94, the placenta abrupted and we had to deliver by emergency Csection. I lost 3 litres of blood in two hours, and the baby was two months premature. I dont know how deeply that awful medical plan would filtered to someone like me at the time, but it doesnt take much for me to realize that at the time the doctor would have had to make some serious choices between saving both our lives and forfeiting the kickbacks Hildebeast implemented in the plan, or refuse service, or, worst case scenario, claim that by killing the baby, he could save me and the money he could have gotten.

Needless to say, the situation was so severe that killing my baby would not in any way have saved my life. AT ALL. The placenta had not only abrupted, but after delivery, the doctor saw that there was something called placenta accretia, where part of the placenta had embedded itself into the wall of my uterus, rather than remain 'floating' with a symbiotic attachment. When it abrupted, it was like pulling a tree out by its roots. The baby, however, never experience trauma or stress, and came out strong and healthy. She even fought with the nurse when the respirator was applied to her, something I was told that preemies are not wont to do. So my baby was not only heathly but of a state where she was ready to survive.

I am of the belief that medical science has evolved so well now that a pregnancy at risk does not carry the same weight of death and gloom as it used to. I realize there are other illnesses that can cause mother and child problems, but it seems to me that most of the time it was a situation of monitoring and careful care of both patients.

Mine is an extreme case, and I know each pregnancy is different, but I would have to see the statistics of women who actually die in childbirth in 2004 to appreciate how abortion, partial or otherwise, is of any advantage.

Cheers and glad to meet you. I have a fondness of the Brits!
