In 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.
