This is why there are [now] two physicians in the country who do them. There are only two physicians in the country who do them because other doctors have either been killed or scared out of the business by the radical right nutcases in this country who are not above resorting to violence to get their illegal way. 75% of Americans believe late-term abortions should be illegal. That we have a radical president doesn't change that. Like with most things, you are screening the numbers to your advantage. The truth is actually something different: Most Americans Back Health Exception to 'Partial-Birth' Abortion Ban While most Americans favor banning the procedure known as partial-birth abortion in general, most also say it should be legal if the woman's health is in danger – an exception that's absent from federal legislation working its way to George W. Bush. Broadly, 62 percent in this ABC News poll favor banning this form of late-term abortion. But when opponents are asked a follow-up – what if it would prevent a serious threat to the woman's health – the numbers reverse, and six in 10 say it should be legal. 74.125.45.132 Its in that instance when a mother's or baby's health is in jeopardy that late term abortions are legal. Late-term abortions, even to pro-choice individuals such as myself, are abominations and should not be permitted. If a woman chooses an abortion early in a pregnancy, fine. But the window for it should be very small. Like many things in life it is a decision that should be reached early or the option closed off. So if your daughter was going to die if she went to full term, you would refuse a late term abortion for her? What kind of father are you?
