Hey, this is "just a bit of tissue" according to so many people. You might consider it like someone stealing your clipped fingernails. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
this is a very disturbing story.
also, BGC an 8 month old fetus is not the same thing as a one month old fetus. I have noticed twice you trying to make this point. |

Re: One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
Given the way liberals are so gung ho for partial birth abortions, the difference is not so great by their measure.
The girl has been found in good health. Note though, that all the stories talked about a fetus, but as soon as she was removed from her mother, she was suddenly a "real" person. This may be the first case of a criminal giving "personhood" to his victim, that is for those of you that don't think fetuses are people. |

Re: One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
well, I think once a doctor says that the fetus could possibly survive this crude "birth"(I suppose you could call it that) I think it ceases to be a fetus and becomes a baby. The same cannot be said for a 2 month old fetus. Once its taken out of the womb(as far as I know) it has zero chance of survival.
I think the distinction is important. |

Re: One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
I've never known a liberal who was "gung ho" for partial birth abortion. Even friends of mine who are far more liberal than I am and very staunchly pro-choice are against partial birth abortion, but recognize that banning it could be the first slide down a slippery slope which could end with the banning of abortions as a whole. It's misleading to say that because a person recognizes that the protection of one evil is necessary for the protection of greater rights, that they are in favor of that one evil.

Re: One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
I'm a liberal, I personally don't like the idea of partial birth abortion. In fact I agree with the ban, except for one part. I believe that there must be a clause for the right to life of a mother. If any banning of abortion is going to happen this must be added.
I have a slightly personal reason for this. My great aunt had an abortion. The reason was, due to a tumor she would have died in the second trimester, thus it was a matter of survival for her. Melch |

Very sickening story. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Anyway, congrats on your upcoming new addition, elwood. Just what we need...another little liberal running around. Just kidding. Is this your first? I saw a quote yesterday that went something like: "Having a child is accepting that ever after your heart will walk around outside your body." Totally right. It's an amazing feeling. Well that's my touchy-feely comment for the week. |

Second. I've got a little Elwood who just turned two. The second will be a little Ms. Blues.
