It is not "partial birth abortion," it is "late term abortion"

[question everything]

when the fetus is already dead and this procedure, very rare, can help the woman conceive, again.

We should all tell the reporters who write these stories to use the correct terminology. The one that they are using is certainly not a medical one.

(The one that appeared in the strib is actually from the NYT)

1. Also - it's not "pro life",

it's "anti-choice."

[K-W]

3. Even if they do it innacurately, they have the right to lable themselves.

And pro-life does describe thier position to a certain extent.

4. It's 'anti-abortion'

to be accurate

[Vickers]

2. Actually, It's a D&E or D&X

It's used only in the most tragic of cases, when a saline induced full labor abortion is too risky for the mom.

It's a very disturbing procedure, but it's gotten a bad rap. Sometimes it can be the only option.

5. media whores are only in it for the money.... the politicians for the

disinformation..and control of electorate emotional vote. they abWHORE the truth. they are just practacing medicine without a liscence.. with out concern for the patient.

just like the death penalty.. "Death has never been scientifically proved to be a pendant.. not even Religious people can call it a pentalty... because the prisoner can accept Jesus on in the chair and be forgiven and be in heaven with god and Jesus before the body is cold... no penalty there.. Jesus even took the two thieves crucified with him to heaven. those Fundies got no sense at all..Suckers every one of them. all easy marks for the likes of President Rove..

6. Why are these Anti-abortionests so eager to kill the Babies when they grow

up..???

[K-W]

7. And has killed hundreds of thousands in the M.E.

Yah, if all human lives were equal, abortion wouldnt be first on the list. But apparently there is a life hierarchy

1. Fetuses
2. White people
3. Brown people

[Not Me]

10. This picture cracks me up

"Us old white men know what's best for you wimmen."



Signing the 'partial birth legislation into law.

[janx]

12. Where's the one with the coat hangers? Somebody once

photoshopped that pic and put them in the hands of these brave men.

13. It's called Dialation and Extraction,

if you're interested in being clinical. But pro fertility nuts aren't interested in clinical. They want overwrought emotionalism.

[TexasSissy]

14. I don't believe the fetus is dead before the procedure, though.

Not in the explanations I've read.
