It seems that all the opponents of the procedure restrict their comments to lurid descriptions of the process and don't provide much in the way of information, just rhetoric I was thinking about that. What exactly do you want in the way of information? The argument is that D&X is kllling children, and that killing children is bad. Those are beliefs, not anything you can prove by facts or information. For example, suppose that I proposed a law that every person who was in a permanent coma should be used, while still living, for medical training and that prospective doctors should cut them open and practice surgical techniques on them until they died. I would aruge that this would provide valuable training which couldn't be obtained as well in any other way and might well save many lives down the road from better trained doctors, and that the comatose people wouldn't feel it, so it was no burden on them. What sort of information would you offer to oppose that proposal? You would offer belief, I'm sure, but what information would you offer?
