I've always heard the left call partial birth abortions partial birth abortions. And may they continue to be legal so that parents can kill a fetus that has horrible birth defects. No one should have to bring a damaged human into the world if they don't want to.

<< You may think it's generalizing, but I think the author of that column is correct when he says that pro abortion people shrink from the word "kill." >> I disagree. I think that the organized support for abortion rights needs to play the political game, just like the Pro Fetus organization needs to play politics. In public forum, sometimes it is a war of words and impressions that ultimately wins. But, here in the trenches, the pro abortion, pro life individuals, such as myself, don't care what you call abortion, as long as it is legal, inexpensive and available. << The shading of language by both sides has always interested me, but it seems to me that the Left has been far more egregious in their twisting of words. >> Yeh, sure. Both sides play to the general public, in order to gain support. The Pro Fetus cult says that they are trying to protect the health of the mother by outlawing RU486 or abortion. At the same time, they refuse to allow partial birth abortions, in the cases where the life or health of the mother is at risk. The Pro Fetus cult calls the killing of fetus, the killing of babies. They also call the killing of an embryo, the killing of babies. Now we are being hit with the bs and hype about women having post traumatic syndrome due to having abortions, when it is obvious that the Pro Fetus cult is only interesting in outlawing abortion, instead of leaving the traumatic decision up to the woman. By the way, thanks, also, for your honesty.

I think there's even a law, I believe in Connecticut, that prohibits showing those in a public place. So much for the Left's love of the 1st amendment. It's not Connecticut, Charley. When I had an abortion a couple of years ago, there were people marching outside the planned Parenthood clinic dressed in monk's robes and carrying posters of mutilated body parts from late term abortions, procedures that are not performed by Planned Parenthood. It's intended effect was to make me feel guilty or remorseful, not what I'd a call "Christian" behavior. It just made me angry and more determined to keep abortion legal and safe.
