The "A" word is back

Well, well, well. After a few years of relative calm, abortion will once again make headlines.

The Senate on Tuesday voted to ban the practice that critics call partial birth abortion, sending President Bush a measure that supporters and foes alike said could alter the future of U.S. abortion rights. A court challenge is certain.

The bill defines partial birth abortion as delivery of a fetus "until, in the case of a headfirst presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of the breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus.

Several groups, including the National Abortion Federation and the Center for Reproductive Rights, plan to challenge the measure in court as soon as it is signed into law. "We will take this fight from the Capitol to the courtroom to safeguard the lives and health of women," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation.

Now, somebody, please, explain how partially delivering & killing a viable baby is a safety safeguard to a woman. Why not fully deliver it & place it for adoption? The hard work is mainly done.

its another way of killing it tho i think if its being born it should be up for adoption not death. i can understand it if the mothers life is in jeopardy and the fetus is still in the mother.
 
Opens too many loopholes. Now...instead of there being legal abotrions up to the end of the 2nd trimester, an abortion could be legally performed up until the 39th week or so.

Frankly...the thought of this disgusts and frightens me.
 
I repeat my stand. Every woman has the right to one abortion. Part of that abortion is a full histerectomy. No chance of repeating.

Was the era of "keeping yer damn legs shut" really so bad?

To clarify. This was not intended as an attack on anyone here. I'm trying to make the point that if some people didn't insist in putting themselves at risk of getting pregnant, the whole abortion issue would be a dead issue.

Then answer my question. I'm not talking about the first tri-mester. This particular act is blatant murder isn't it?
 
Quit acting like its done 'ON DEMAND'. Late term abortions are only done to protect the mother's life....:disgust2:
 
Alright...let's get this straight.

The woman has to have labor induced

the woman has to give a vaginal delivery (to a point)

the woman carried the CHILD (it's now well past fetus stage) damn near to term

They kill it & then pull it out the extra 4-6".

that ain't murder?

and this is done to protect the mothers life?

You think they're doing it for a 'Pay per View' Special?
 
Re: The

If she's gone this far, let the child live...is it really that hard to figure out?
 
Re: The

Frankly, I'll be perfectly straight. I couldn't care less why they're doing it. One innocent, helpless baby dies each time they do it. I don't need to hear anything more to know that it's wrong.
 
I doubt that there is ANYONE who thinks abortions are cool or fun...What I'm saying is that they don't do late term abortions on a whim. The medical assessment has determined it the best alternative. Your both speaking as though its like getting drunk and ending up with a tatoo...
 
I'm speaking of the obvious. Can you think of one time that the scenario I descibed makes one iota of sense? If she has to partially deliver the work is damn near done-especially the hard part.

You're assuming a viable and healthy fetus...I don't believe that the case with most if not all late term abortions...
