Del, while the pro-abortion lobby asserts that most partial birth abortions are done to protect the life of the mother, or because a baby is dead or has no brain, the anti-abortion lobby asserts that most of these procedures are done on perfectly viable fetuses, usually in the case of very young pregnant women who wait too late to get a first trimester abortion. In any event, partial birth abortions are the third trimester way of aborting a fetus.

How do you feel about this issue when the fetus is perfectly healthy?

Del,

They are not my rules and conditions. Those rules were decided by the courts, and I choose to go by court rulings. The alternative is anarchy.

Somehow I do not believe you would say the same thing if the court ruled abortions illegal.

I myself am troubled by the termination of any pregnancy, however in the case of severe deformities, missing brains/spines, I'm not sure that termination is wrong. But then who am I to define "severe"?

Your question as to whether it is preferable to antesthetize a late term fetus before aborting it is pointless. Or am I missing something?
