"This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself."

Ladies, it seems that our friend Fred objects to this passage in the Partial Birth Abortion ban passed by Congress. I have questioned him on whether he believes that once a woman becomes pregnant, her life becomes secondary to the life of the fetus to the point where a PBA should not be performed, even if going through the pregnancy means a heightened risk of death to the mother.

I am interested in his answer. Are you all?

I await your response, Fred.

Give me one example why any child should be killed this way.

I'll check in in the morning. The burden is on you, Darkdrake. You'll probably have to use leftist sources, but that's okay, if it helps you make your point.

Hello my friend..

I mean no disrespect to you, but I could give a Tinkers dam what Mertz has to say about anything..

All I will say on this subject is this..

I miscarried the only baby ever given to me, and was never able to have another..

How someone could PURPOSELY do this is beyond comprehension, at least to me..it doesn't interest me, what Mertz has to say about it, or anyone else who has never been through it, has to say about it..

Part of my spirit died that day..

Pro-choicers flame away..nothing really could ever hurt that much

Did you ever get an answer to that, Luis?

**even if going through the pregnancy means a heightened risk of death to the mother. **

I don't give a flip what Mertz thinks.

Pregnancy was life threatening for me. 6 weeks before my due date an emergency c-section was performed to save my life. My daughter lived. She's now a sweet and wonderful 13 year old. Two of my sisters had the same life threatening scenario. Their babies were born 6 and 9 weeks early....and lived. They're now 20 and 18.

Partial birth abortion is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT necessary to save a mothers life. These babies can be born ALIVE!!!!!!!
