do u realise what partial birth abortions are? they give birth then the doc kills the baby thats alive, it is not like normal abortion, its actually
murder, what gives you the right to kill another for no reason? how can you live with yourself accepting murder as a right? it may be in your body but
the baby isnt part of it after its born.
PLEASE DON'T EVEN TRY TO LECTURE ME ON THIS ONE......YOU WILL LOOSE.
I am pro-choice..........I do not advocate murder......I fight for a woman right to choose and any restrictions placed on that, IMO, is
constitutionally wrong. Let me give you a little education:
Why Are D&X Procedures Performed?
This is a topic that is rarely discussed during public debates:
1st Trimester: D&Xs are not performed during the first three months of pregnancy, because there are better ways to perform abortions. There is no
need to follow a D&X procedure, because the fetus' head quite small at this stage of gestation and can be quite easily removed from the woman's
uterus.
2nd Trimester: D&Xs are very rarely performed in the late second trimester at a time in the pregnancy before the fetus is viable. These, like most
abortions, are performed for a variety of reasons, including: She is not ready to have a baby for whatever reason and has delayed her decision to have
an abortion into the second trimester. As mentioned above, 90% of abortions are done in the first trimester.
There are mental or physical health problems related to the pregnancy.
The fetus has been found to be dead, badly malformed, or suffering from a very serious genetic defect. This is often only detectable late in the
second trimester.
3rd Trimester: They are also very rarely performed in late pregnancy. The most common justifications at that time are: The fetus is dead.
The fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would place the woman's life in severe danger.
The fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would grievously damage the woman's health and/or disable her.
The fetus is so malformed that it can never gain consciousness and will die shortly after birth. Many which fall into this category have developed a
very severe form of hydrocephalus.
What pro-lifers want, is in a case where the fetus is already dead or malformed, is to let the woman go ahead and carry it to term. Why shouldn't
she, right? She was the one that got knocked up! Think before you post next time.
