I don't know they both seem kind of intrusive and serious to me. On the one hand though I couldn't argue with the choice to cut some plumbing as a woman's personal business. I'm still not convinced abortions after the first trimester are. The problem is, brees, that it's hard to trust people who confuse a hysterectomy and a tubal ligation, which is presumably what Les meant to begin with. And it's hard to trust the people who invented the "partial birth abortion" terminology to stop when they've outlawed that procedure. Those are the same people who talk about the "heinous evil" of abortion. When 90% of abortions take place in the first trimester, outlawing abortions after that isn't likely to be an acceptable long term compromise, is it? One little note, to reiterate a point I made previously, which may have been too subtle. From agi-usa.org : Table 2. Fetal Deaths, 1992 Gestational age Number 2023 weeks 8,152 2427 weeks 4,567 2831 weeks 3,635 3235 weeks 4,107 Fetal death independent of abortion is not uncommon, and seems to be much more frequent than abortion of a viable fetus. The PBA line seems to be that the procedure was invented to make sure the fetus was dead before it was extracted. Somehow, I doubt that very, very much. Something needs to be done when the unfortunate circumstances tabulated above occur, and I find it much more probable that that's how the particular procedure came to be part of medical practice.
