These abortion people are so full of crap…
Saturday, April 21st, 2007In the way gall bladder removal is a made up name for a medical procedure called a Cholecystectomy, Partial-birth abortion is made up name for a medical procedure called a D & E.
This medical procedure is used when a fetus has a head 2 x (or more) normal size, and the mother would be caused physical damage by attempting to reach term and give birth either, naturally or by c-section. Usually the damage caused is this situation would prevent the woman from having another child.
I have to ask…If you’re so “pro-life” aren’t you for her having as many kids as she can? Why would you risk taking the chance to have a healthy child away from her? It seems to me the actions defeat the groups stated goals.
But here’s the really strange part, the law allows for this to be done if the mother’s health is at risk. Since the only time this procedure is called for is when the mother’s health is at risk, the same number of them are going to be performed. If someone can produce a doctor who would allow a woman to show up in her 8th month with a normal fetus and have this procedure performed, as has been stated, I will gladly lead the charge to castigate his malpractice in public, as would any reasonable person. The law appears to be a ruse as it creates no change, just bragging rights.
Any politician who supports, or supported, this should be voted out of office, regardless of party. Any civic leader who supports this should be pelted with vegetables in the public square.

Bath Consolidated School after bombing |
|
| Location | Bath Township, Michigan, United States |
| Target(s) | Bath Consolidated School |
| Date | May 18, 1927 |
| Attack type | Shooting/explosives/fire/suicide bombing |
| Fatalities | 45 |
| Perpetrator(s) | Andrew Kehoe |
| Motive | Financial Hardship |
The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, USA, on May 18, 1927, which killed 45 people and injured 58. Most of the victims were children in second to sixth grades attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in U.S. history. The perpetrator was school board member Andrew Kehoe, who was upset by a property tax that had been levied to fund the construction of the school building. He blamed the additional tax for financial hardships which led to foreclosure proceedings against his farm. These events apparently provoked Kehoe to plan his attack.
On the morning of May 18, Kehoe first killed his wife and then set his farm buildings on fire. As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many of the people inside. Kehoe used a detonator to ignite dynamite and hundreds of pounds of pyrotol which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his shrapnel-filled vehicle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During the rescue efforts, searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school’s south wing.
