This is a perfect illustration, as disgusting and infuriating as the situation itself is. I, too, would like to hear a pro-abortion advocate explain the difference. Anyone?

There was a State Senator in Illinois who argued that the baby’s life was forfeit so far as the state is concerned once the mother decided to have it killed for her.

His name escapes me at the moment. It was some weird foreign name. Three syllables. Ended in a vowel sound. Was it Mengele?

in my opinion this is murder – she had to think about it and find scissors – do something she had no business doing (tack on practicing medicine without a license), and taking according to the facts in the story a healthy baby and taking actions which led to that baby’s death. This person should go to prison.

Logic has never been a strong point with the abortion rights crowd.

What happened to the baby was likely kinder than an abortion would have been. I don’t know which procedure was planned. If it was poisoning, then the umbilical vein would have had a lethal bolus of drug-possibly anesthetic-injected into it, bringing the child death through it’s nurturing vein. The child would then either be delivered stillborn via induced labor or be taken out through an incision. This is basically what happened anyway. The vein was cut and the child asphyxiated. If a D&E were performed, the baby would have had it much worse. Rather than death by hypoxia or overdose, forceps would be passed through the uterus and used to crush the skull of the baby. Then it would be torn up into manageable sized pieces and brought out through the vagina. This is if it is lucky enough to have an “ethically concerned” abortionist and happens to be facing head down at the time of abortion. If it is breach down, it’s likely it would be taken out in pieces with its head crushed last. Face the facts. Killing an inconvenient child is not much different from killing an inconvenient elder, or disabled person, or bum. Sure it’s good for the mother and maybe even society, but it’s still wrong. Kind of like killing inconvenient liberal politicians-good for the taxpayer, helpful to society, but unfortunately…still wrong

This story truly renders me speechless.

My granddaughter was born 4 weeks prematurely. She is almost a year now and of course incredibly beautiful and smart. To say I love her is inadequate. I looked at her immediately after she was born add wondered how anyone could even suggest she had no rights as a human being because she wasn’t full term.

What have we bcome?

That earth can offer to declining man,
Brings hope with it, and forward looking thoughts.”

Fred Maidment: “In cases such as rape, incest and immediate life-threatening health issues, I believe in choice. In the case of, “I just don’t want a baby,” I believe that the “choice” has already been made.”

Maybe I could somewhat understand when it comes down to the life of the mother vs. the life of the child (although I know women who believe abortion is wrong even then, and have said they’d sooner die than abort); but a child who is the product of rape or incest is still a human being. He can’t help what happened to his mother, and should not have to pay the ultimate price for it.

If you were the product of a rape, would you want to be considered less of a human being than another unborn child who is not? I wonder what adults who were conceived via rape (and – obviously – were carried to term) must think of people who believe similarly conceived babies aren’t worth saving.

That is a story that will no doubt sicken even the most fervent NARAL supporter. And it also asks the question of the same people, “So, uh, what’s the difference between what happened and what was going to happen? What do you really support, anyway?”

I know this issue better than most, I am a direct result of it. I was born 2 months prematurely. I was small, I had some deficiencies, I spent quite a long time in the ICU unit, and my childhood was filled with surgical procedures.

But today, I’m alive writing this comment. No, I was not an “attempted” abortion or anything of the sort, but the notion that I was born at 7 months and at the same time it is perfectly lawful for a woman to abort her baby at 7 months just does not compute.

Abortion,now a thriving industry making 100s of millions of dollars per year, (I would have to check , I believe that figure is conservative.)

The same lobbying that goes with any other big money industry is present in the baby butchering business.

So we have the banshees squealing “It’s my right,” but the impetus is from all the bizarre people living large on the blood of the most innocent members of our society.

Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Wonder why they put life first?

on his record prior to becoming an abortionist which is common among abortion providers…most of the Dr.s willing to make a living doing the procedure do so because they have failed in private practice and there are no reporting regulations or oversight of abortion mills

Obama should be happy. He should even say “Hats off” to the woman who took the matter of abortion in her own hands.

This is the main strategy of the libs and dems to cut the national budget (particularly for government-sponsored child health/insurance care.)
