Suck it up, loser. Dilation and Extraction (D&E): Used after 13 weeks - The cervix is dialated and the unborn child is dismembered with plier-like forceps. Force is needed to pull the baby apart. The instrument is used to seize a leg or other part of the body and then, with a twisting motion, tear it from the baby's body. The baby's spine is snapped and the skull crushed. After the baby parts are removed, they are reassembled outside the womb to be sure all are removed. Frequently baby parts are left inside the mother's womb. This can cause serious complications and sometimes death.

Bush vs. Daschle: You right guys will like this... The President has this contest in the bag unionleader.com Oh... anyone notice the dow dropping the last 45 minutes... NO CONTEST. That should be the verdict on President George W. Bush’s battle with Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle over domestic priorities. Daschle hasn’t a leg to stand on, and his election-year opening salvo should be seen for just what it is: partisan politics at its worst. Daschle has blamed Bush’s tax cuts for the shrinking federal budget surplus (which is partially true, but is a good thing, not a bad thing) and for worsening the recession, which began months before Bush’s tax cuts were enacted. As George Will noted on Sunday, Daschle needs to buy a calendar. He also needs to buy an economics book. Tax cuts do not cause or deepen economic recessions, they relieve them. And tax cuts that are mostly back-ended to take place years later, as Bush’s were, cannot possibly cause an economic downturn years before they go into effect. Daschle, who voted against the Bush tax cuts, has repeatedly criticized those cuts as destructive, which would lead any rational person to conclude that he wants the cuts repealed. But Daschle refuses to call for the logical conclusion of his argument because he knows there is no support for it. In other words, he’s being deceitful. By the way, Daschle has expressed support for Gov. Jeanne Shaheen for U.S. Senate. Though Shaheen has said she does not support repealing the Bush tax cuts, she has not been a low-tax advocate. Shaheen immediately should go on record supporting the Bush tax cuts and pledging not to vote for a tax increase if elected to the Senate. On the rest of the domestic front, Daschle wants an array of new federal regulations on the auto and health care industries and vast new spending initiatives, including further federalizing homeland security and health care — all to “stimulate the economy,” which is like trying to resuscitate a person with strangulation instead of CPR. President Bush has replied to Daschle’s criticism in his characteristic self-assured way, saying that as long as he is in the White House the Democrats would have to raise taxes over his dead body. If the President keeps up this type of gutsy retort to Daschle’s desperate attacks and continues offering economically sensible alternatives, our economy will do just fine (as will Republicans come November).
