I am pro choice, as you probably know, but I abhor PBAs and other mid-to-late term procedures. Michelle's response to you indicates that she does not trust banning abortion on purely religious grounds. Mother Theresa's words probably mean nothing to her for two reasons. One, it is a religious argument, and two, she was a woman. Dems do not like women in power, especially conservative women. Dr. Koop is a credible scientific source as is the AMA.

Playing with words again? No the AMA did not endorse "the ban" as you put it. First of all there is no ban, and secondly, the issue in the bill was whether the life or the health of the mother is a necessary precursor to this procedure. The AMA stands behind the "health" terminology for a number of reasons. I have no real problems with wasting time on that bill any more than I do with wasting time on the 10 commandments as long as the "health of the mother" is the criterion. That sounds ok to me, except that I don't like government imposing themselves on people's private affairs like this. Here are some clips: The vague bills could include abortions in the first and second trimesters... wcla.org The "Partial-Birth Abortion" Ban -- Deceptive, Unconstitutional, Extreme crlp.org BTW on another topic, I couldn't think of any cases where "federal funding" was challenged other than this abortion issue - very sexist imo - and lo and behold I found something out there ... AMA Calls on Congress to Lift Ban on Federal Funding for Needle Exchanges Apparently the conservatives also have problems with these needle exchanges and cut funding there... even though they don't do anything for drug abusers and aids is rampant in this community thanks to non-sterile needles. ndsn.org
