One of the great things about this country is that we have these unfound freedoms. One them of them is to think what we want to think without others imposing their beliefs onto the group.
By you putting those pictures up offends me. It offends not because of abortion, I get that abortion is killing a fetus. No what offends me is that I feel that you are trying to impose your beliefs on to everyone else. And that is just not cool.

But I don't believe that -- I didn't say that, never have.. Don't speak for me, please. I'm quite capable of defining my own beliefs. I did that to spark debate -- and it worked
And by telling me not to impose my 'beliefs' which you have so kindly defined for me (gee thanks), you are attempting to impose your will on me.
Yeah, it is from a pro-life website. However, as far as the description, it's accurate. Perhaps it uses slightly inflammatory words, but it's accurate nonetheless in its portrayal of the procedure.

And as for medical necessity, again, I'll concede that in some cases, SOME -- this procedure is medically necessary because:
A. The mother would die without it or
B. The baby is dead anyway or has no chance of survival outside the womb.
Now, it has been stated (and I think sugar&spice provided the figure) that this procedure accounts for 1% of all abortions. That's still a lot of occurances. This is mere speculation on my part, but I would have to say because the possibility exists that this can be legally done for convenience's sake, it is being done for convenience's sake. There are some irresponsible people in the world who surprise me every day with what they're capable of when it comes to selfishness.
