<< PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTIONS >> This procedure is a medical procedure. You would like to turn it into a political procedure to further your own dogmatic goals. If you outlaw partial-birth abortions, and you are the doctor, how would you remove a large 30 month old, dead fetus? How about a horribly deformed fetus with a huge head and no chance of survival? Besides that, partial birth abortions are very rare. The only reason that this is such a big issue, is that the Republican Party wants to outlaw ALL abortions, and by banning this abortion procedure, they get their foot in the door to a total ban. Sound deceitful? Sound sneeky? All of the sob stories represent merely crocodile tears, trying to gain womens' trust long enough to deny reproductive choice. From today's Herald Wire Services: - "Eighty million unwanted pregnancies and 20 million unsafe abortions. Millions of beatings and rapes. Infanticides and so-called "honor" killings. This is what the world's women still endure each year ... according to a U.N. report." If the Republican Party wins, the above massive abuses of women, worldwide, will only increase, because of the banning of abortion and the limiting or denial of international family planning funds. |
