"No third trimester abortions are done in Canada done for "elective" reasons." All Partial birth abortions are "elective". The fact that we send the dirty work elsewhere is irrelevant. The desire to kill babies with Down Syndrome may be something you see as medically necessary but it is not. We've seen again and again that you are good at twisting words to justify the unjustifiable. ............................................... Partial-Birth Abortion -- You Can Look It Up in the Medical Dictionary! By Douglas Johnson NRLC Legislative Director Legfederal@aol.com October 29, 2003 You have probably heard pro-abortion spokespersons claim that "partial-birth abortion" is a "political" term that is "not found in medical dictionaries." (Example: NOW President Kim Gandy, Oct. 21, 2003, press release: "Try as you might, you won't find the term 'partial birth abortion' in any medical dictionary.") This claim is diversionary, since "partial-birth abortion" is a LEGAL term of art that is defined by Congress in the bill itself (S. 3). However, the claim is also untrue. If you go to major medical websites such as Medline at the National Institutes of Health, or the Intelihealth site affiliated with the Harvard Medical School, and use the medical dictionary search tools (which access the Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary), you find "partial-birth abortion" defined as "an abortion in the second or third trimester of pregnancy in which the death of the fetus is induced after it has passed partway through the birth canal." See: nlm.nih.gov intelihealth.com By the way, this widely used medical dictionary does NOT list the pseudo-medical jargon terms that pro-abortion groups insist are the proper "medical" terms for the method, "dilation and extraction," "intact dilation and evacuation," or "intact dilation and extraction."
