Again, I don't think ANYONE would argue with someone who had to have the procedure because of serious health problems or rape.
The issue comes from all the other cases, the people that have sex, end up pregnant and don't want to take responsibility for their actions. The basic purpose of sex is to procreate, so you can't be mad if you have sex and that happens. That's why there are contraceptives (well that and all the diseases of course). I just think that if you make your bed, you need to lie in it. Someone who is raped or whose health fails didn't make that bed, so they don't HAVE to lie in it. Everyone else does.
Getting back to the original topic of the partial-birth procedure, I think an issue that can come from this is whether or not but delivering MOST of the baby, is it at that point a baby, or is it still a fetus? I mean, she's laying there with 3/4 of a baby sticking outof her and then they do the do. If a woman was giving birth for real, and they head was stuck and when they got it out, the baby was no longer alive, the baby is considered a baby and it "died". So isn't doing this procedure considered "killing", if the baby came out most of the way through labor
