		<description>Did anyone read the decision?  It is still perfectly legal for doctors to perform the procedure.  They just have to use an injection to kill the baby before they slice open or smash it&#039;s skull.  Why do liberals insist on keeping the baby alive for the skull slicing?  You still get to kill the baby.  C&#039;mon, you can give in on the torture part, cain&#039;t ya? ;)
&quot;In addition, if intact D&amp;E is truly necessary in some circumstances, a prior injection to kill the fetus allows a doctor to perform the procedure, given that the Actâ€™s prohibition only applies to the delivery of â€œa living fetus,â€...&quot;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Dr. Dobson puts a huge amount of energy into making the USA a nation worth perserving.
Comment by bitblt &lt;/em&gt;

Your Dr Dobson wishes for women having a legal medical procedure to have their uterus perforated, so the doctor will be sued and then refuse to do necessary abortions in the future, all to achieve the goal of forcing women to carry a pregnancy to term.  

Who cares if the fetus has died, or is microcephalic, or will cause the death of the mother being born?  Dr Dobson -- and you -- have an agenda to stick to.  

&lt;strong&gt;Mind your own business.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>bitbit - viability should NOT be an issue.  It is a woman&#039;s choice regardless - however, the vast majority of abortions take place in the first 8 weeks.  Later term abortions are usually for medical reasons, and refusing to allow exceptions for a woman&#039;s life makes clear that this is not care for the fetus but hatred of the woman.  And no one should be forced to have an ultrasound - this is just abuse of the woman.  I really don&#039;t understand why you and all the other so-called &#039;pro-life&#039; people feel that you have the right to control women&#039;s lives and fertility.  You&#039;re no better than the pathetic women on daytime teevee who don&#039;t think it&#039;s a sin to screw 3 or 4 guys in a week, but have the baby because abortion is a sin.  If you think abortion is a sin, fine - don&#039;t have one.  But you have no right, none, zip to tell any other woman that she has to do it your way.  And men can all just shut up, period.  I&#039;ll listen to what you have to say when you get pregant.

To quote the great Gloria Steinam:

If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.</description>

		<description>It perfectly Ok to read what the man himself has  to say about the decision ending this procedure.
He says it  plainly and without deceptive  language.


http://www.focusaction.org/Articles/A000000246.cfm


&lt;blockquote&gt;

â€¦ appears that what he is referring to here is the killing of babies by injecting poison into their hearts. I&#039;m not sure which is worse, collapsing the head of a viable baby and extracting his brains, or injecting a lethal dose into the baby&#039;s body. How could so many Americans have come to this point of utter brutality and callousness? They came to accept it eventually because of powerful propaganda that paved the way.

In the aftermath of Roe v. Wade on January 20, 1973, radical feminists and other pro-abortion advocates told preposterous lies to get Americans to embrace the decision. They and the liberal media claimed that a &quot;fetus&quot; (never a baby) is simply &quot;a blob of tissue&quot; or &quot;meaningless protoplasm.&quot; They insisted that legalized abortion would signal an end to child abuse because &quot;every child would be a wanted child.&quot; In fact, it was only the beginning of the horror. Gradually, people became desensitized to the increased brutality of killing human babies.

Now, because of the development of ultrasound technology, those lies are exposed. A new mother can vividly see that she is carrying a precious baby. She can understand for the first time that the &quot;blob of cells&quot; has a heart that beats, and little fingernails on the hands. The child sucks his or her thumb and &quot;swims&quot; and cavorts in the amniotic fluid. Other characteristics of humanness are right there to delight his or her mother. That understanding is slowly turning the tide against legalized abortion.

This is why Focus on the Family is investing millions of dollars to provide ultrasound technology and related assistance for medical pregnancy resource centers. I&#039;m pleased to tell you that this project has saved an estimated 42,000 babies in the past three years â€” babies who are alive and loved today. The best part is hearing from mothers who say, &quot;I almost killed my child. But you helped me do the right thing. Thank you!&quot;

Cultural attitudes are indeed changing. In August of last year, the Pew Foundation conducted a poll revealing that 73 percent of Americans view abortion as &quot;morally wrong&quot; in nearly all or some circumstances.3 Clearly, ultrasound technology is having a dramatic impact on hearts and minds. According to monthly reports from the pregnancy centers that participate in Focus on the Family&#039;s Option Ultrasoundâ„¢ Program, 88 percent of abortion-minded women who receive loving counseling and are allowed to meet their babies face to face through the wonder of ultrasound declare that their hearts have been changed, that they are going to carry their babies to term.4 This, I believe, is one reason why the majority of Supreme Court Justices, including the liberal Anthony Kennedy, voted to outlaw partial-birth abortion.

iâ€™m not sure why you are confusedâ€¦ let me repeat:

hopefully, it will take the death or disablement
of only ONE of these anti-choice women,
to wake them up to the errors of their waysâ€¦
â€¦

but, it will probably take many deaths and disablements
to allow doctors to do what they are supposed to doâ€¦&lt;/em&gt;

Thanks for the clarification, Katy. It was the term &quot;anti-choice&quot; that confused me. I was ambiguous about your position. 

I agree--let&#039;s hope they realize the error of their extreme views.

Ah, semantics.

I see nothing wrong with that procedure, as long as eugenics are not involved.

I see nothing wrong with IVF, either (and I never mentioned eugenics). But the spare blastocysts are either frozen and ultimately incinerated. That which we call a rose by any other name is still abortion. So I guess you&#039;re pro choice. We are in agreement. Choice is good. Excellent!

		<description>To â€œMr Presidentâ€: Your opinion and concerns would hold a touch more validity if you hadnâ€™t been so busy bombing the crap out of innocent Iraqis during the â€œshock &amp; aweâ€ phase of your war. Talk about someone being â€œpro-deathâ€â€“only a RepubliCON could talk out of both sides of his mouth and actually believe he says what he means. The simple fact IS that when someone OPPOSES a womanâ€™s CHOICE, then (get ready for a bit of logic) that makes the person ANTI-CHOICE; believe it or not, â€œantiâ€ means â€œopposesâ€â€“so youâ€™ll better grasp the use, think of the term â€œAnti-Christâ€ and what it means. The PRO-CHOICE movement believes that a woman can CHOOSE to carry the child to term or have an abortion; itâ€™s HER choice (and, under ideal circumstances, a choice made by consulting her doctor and the fetusâ€™ father and her family). The so-called â€œpro-lifeâ€ movement is OPPOSED to her having a choice other than giving birth (and then, the â€œpro-lifeâ€ movement completely loses interest as far as that BABY is concernedâ€“time to move on to the next fetus).

ummm... you know I&#039;m not really the president, right?

But still, how does my argument here relate to Iraq?

No need to embarrass yourself any more than necessary, so think before you respond.</description>

		<description>Mr. President

Why is semantics when TP says anti-choice, and it isnâ€™t semantics when righties say pro-life? Isnâ€™t it the same tactic?

Comment by Crump&#039;s Brother â€” June 4, 2007 @ 3:46 pm

No, because the righties chose &quot;pro-life&quot; (from what I understand).
However, it is the same if a prolifer were to call a prochoicer &quot;pro-death&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Sorry I have to do this.
â€œI donâ€™t give a f*ckâ€ about abortion. What I do give a fuuk about in *TPâ€™s* abuse of semantics.
Comment by Mr. President â€” June 4, 2007 @ 3:23 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Yet, you seem to have no concern for the Semantics of yourself and your fellow wingnuts.  Hypocrite.

Tell me, have you ALWAYS been for RAPISTS RIGHTS?  You know, rape a woman, and she&#039;s &quot;required&quot; to have your baby because abortion is illegal?

Tell me, have you ALWAYS been for PEDOPHILE RIGHTS?  You know, where a pedophile can molest an underage girl, and get her pregnant and you then require her to have his baby?

Tell me, have you ALWAYS been for INCEST RIGHTS?  You know, where a relative can molest a child/young woman, and get her pregnant and you then require her to have his baby?

I didn&#039;t know you were such a proponent of perversion - wingnut!  Maybe that explains why you&#039;re such a whiny little b!tch, that&#039;s prone to using St*pid semantics?

Idiot.</description>

		<description>To Crump&#039;s Brother:  Actually, I believe the medical community uses the term &quot;Intact Dilation &amp; Extraction&quot; for the procedure.  The term &quot;late-term abortion&quot; is as non-medical as &quot;partial-birth abortion&quot; (which, incidentally, replaced &quot;brain-suction abortion&quot; since that term was apparently deemed &quot;too graphic&quot;).  As far as I can tell from my use of &quot;the Google&quot; (on &quot;intact dilation &amp; extraction&quot;), it was a Congressman, Charles Canady, who coined &quot;partial-birth abortion&quot;.  Canady (a LAWYER, of all things) couldn&#039;t find the procedure listed in any medical textbook, so he and his aides named it themselves.  (Of course, since the term &quot;dilation &amp; extraction&quot; itself had only been coined a few years earlier in 1992, it might have been a bit difficult for even that term to appear in a medical text in 1995.  I&#039;m supposing that Canady didn&#039;t bother to check any medical JOURNALS of ththe day, however--sources which might have had ample coverage of IDX.)

		<description>&lt;em&gt;and the point is not that I am pro-life (I donâ€™t give a f*ck), the point is the term â€œanti-choiceâ€ is loaded. Comment by Mr. President â€” June 4, 2007 @ 3:13 pm&lt;/em&gt;

And &quot;pro-life&quot; isn&#039;t loaded?  BAHAHA, st*pid little b!tch!!!

&lt;em&gt;It was a strategic move on the part of the PRO-DEATH crowd; instead of addressing moral issues it tries to score points with wordsâ€¦ pathetic. Comment by Mr. President â€” June 4, 2007 @ 3:13 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Exactly what I&#039;m referring to.  Nothing &quot;loaded&quot; about PRO-DEATH.  I say what I always say to you - wingnut - PROJECT MUCH?

So tell me, wingnut.  When you prevent a woman from having an abortion, who&#039;s baby if &quot;born&quot; will likely kill her, while assuredly being dead at birth.  How again are you &quot;pro-life?
