My point, Jewel, is that the baby is going to die whether by having its skull crushed during a PBA or by some other means. I don't think that making the PBA illegal will save any babies. It's like taking chocolate cake away from fatties. They'll just switch to Hershey bars. You aren't saving any babies. There are other procedures. The fuss to keep the PBA is that it is safer for the woman than the alternatives. You may not mind that we lose some of these awful women who are aborting. I can understand that. Go ahead, make some of them pay. But the baby is just as dead.

If a woman is diagnosed with cancer and needs chemo, she will either have a PBA or some other procedure. Or, if push comes to shove, she'll just have the chemo and let that kill the baby, which can then be removed. Either way the baby is toast.
