Anyone voting for the partial birth abortion is guilty of murder. Period. The fact that only a small percentage of abortions fall in this category is immaterial. Murder is murder. >>even though that makes up an extremely miniscule % of total abortions<< If someone were to murder you, that would be an extremely small percentage of the population, right. Therefore according to your logic, it would be fine and dandy. Techie

You say you are through talking about it, then you talk about it.. I will let others talk about it. KOOP: THE PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION IS "IN NO WAY...A MEDICAL NECESSITY" In a wide ranging interview with the American Medical News, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop expressed his opposition to partial-birth abortions and declared that they are not medically necessary. The former Surgeon General was asked about President Clinton's recent veto of a bill to ban partial-birth abortions and claims regarding the medical need for them. Following is Dr. Koop's response, reported in the August 19th issue of American Medical News: "I believe that Mr. Clinton was misled by his medical advisers on what is fact and what is fiction in reference to late-term abortions. Because in no way can I twist my mind to see that the late-term abortion as described -- you know, partial-birth, and then destruction of the unborn child before the head is born -- is a medical necessity for the mother. It certainly can't be a necessity for the baby. So I am opposed to ... partial birth abortions."
