I don't know why I never read this thread (ok, I do, but Ijust had to get that out).
I don't know if people realize HOW these types of abortions are performed. Basically, the doctor "goes into the womb" and grabs the baby's feet and pulls him out feet first.
Once all of the baby's body is out of the womb (except the for the head), a needle/sunction catheter is inserted into the baby's skull, which sucks the baby's brain out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
Imagine if a doctor delivered a newborn baby and then immediately did this! People would be outraged. The only difference between this procedure and the doctor previously referenced is the fact the head is still in the mother's womb.
Regardless is you are for or against it, you can't tell me that is not a terrible way to treat a newborn!
Now granted there are will be exceptions (as there are with everything) that will probably be evaluated on a case by case basis, but I and others are speaking in terms of application to the general population.
I happen to agree with Eclipse.
I also won't get into a life vs. choice debate, but all i will say that I support the ban on partial birth abortions (which is what Pred. Bush is banning - not all abortions period). But hey, I also think that Scott Peterson should be tried for TWO murders as well.
WHAT!! Me and the Prez actually feel the same way on something! .
