You failed to answer the post. You neatly skirted the issue. You failed to demonstrate why the killing of the child was necessary. How it would safeguard the women's health. In such a procedure the fetus or technically unborn child. A very small percentage of the child is outside the vaginal or birth canal at the time the life is terminated. It is then removed completely. There is no difference in trauma to the woman. The only reason a portion of the body is left within the canal is to qualify as an abortion rather than euthanasia. You twist things. What fear would anyone have of protecting the life or health of the woman? I am all for that. However, in circumstances when a fetus is viable, there is no reason to terminate. The only difference would be the death of the child. In fact the act of the termination actually causes the fetus or child to remain in the canal a bit longer. I am curious where the health of the woman requires the invasive and brutal insertion of metal objects in the brain cavity of that which has already been removed from the woman's body. In cases where the pregnancy threatens the life or health of the woman and the fetus is not viable, there seems no choice but to terminate the pregnancy. I have no problem with abortions. I believe I have made that clear in previous posts. I certainly find abortion as a means of birth control irresponsible and without class. However, I do recognize many reasons for abortions that are justifiable. TG
