Do liberals now deny that they once condoned (or still condone)"partial-birth abortion"?

Question

PBA is the act of sucking the baby's brains out with a vaccuum before it clears the birth canal. The abortionist cuts a hole in the baby's neck and inserts a tube in which to suck the brain out.

LIBERALISM HAS BROUGHT US THIS VERY ACT

Funny stuff here - PBA isn't even a procedure? LOL. Now, you're in denial.

Answer 1

YES!!!

Answer 2

Uh...Even the ban proposed by Republicans allowed for exceptions to save the mothers life or in cases of incest and rape. Guess what? Nearly all dialation & extraction or partial-birth abortions are peformed for just those reasons. The only other reason cited is for the procedure is if it is discovered that the child is unlikely to survive outside the womb or if the child would be so severely disabled as to have no quality of life (vegetable).

In the statistics that I could find from a neutral source stated that 1% of abortions are performed in the third trimester, and .5% of those use D&E (or PBA), and again all of those cite the above causes.

So it's up to you. You can care for children that are so disabled that they are unlikely to survive, you can care for the families who must go on after their mother (and possibly child) has died in birth.

I know a young woman who just three weeks ago was faced with this choice: On her 12 weeks check up, it was discovered that she has advanced Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She can not undergo treatment while pregnant. What would you do if you were her husband? What would you do if you were her? She and her husband are still deciding.

It's something that I hope to never face and I don't know what I would do.

Stop painting everything out to be so black and white. You're a judgmental political whore who has no ability to understand the issues that real human beings face.

_____NOTE_____

Two things, vote_4: 1) PBA is a political name invented for the procedure. It's accurate name is dialation and extraction. I'm sure that's what the person meant.
2) Why, when someone gives you legitimate answers that challenge you, do you never reply?

Answer 3

it is not called partial birth.

secondly it is very rare.

third it is uasually done to save the mothers life.


condone? it is legal.









Myth: Abortion bans prohibit only abortions performed late in pregnancy.

Fact: Abortion bans prohibit abortions as early as 13 weeks in pregnancy.


Aren't abortion bans "late-term" bans?
No. When the United States Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's abortion ban, it did so in part because it found the ban's language so broadly worded that it would have prevented doctors from performing procedures used in more than 90 percent of abortions in the second trimester.

Don't abortion bans apply only to a particular stage of pregnancy?
No. Of the more than 30 bans enacted since 1995, only three refer to any particular stage of pregnancy. All the others apply throughout pregnancy.



Myth: Abortion bans target only one particular abortion procedure.

Fact: Abortion bans prohibit an array of safe abortion procedures performed throughout pregnancy.


Isn't "partial-birth abortion" an actual medical procedure?
No. The term "partial-birth abortion" is not a medical term and it does not identify any particular abortion procedure.

Don't abortion bans target only D&X abortions?
No. When the Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's abortion ban, it did so in part because it found the law banned the most common method of second-trimester abortion, D&E.

Myth: Abortion bans won't harm women's health.

Fact: Abortion bans gravely endanger women's health.


Don't the bans have exceptions to protect women's health?
No. Almost all the bans have no health exception whatsoever and only a dangerously inadequate exception to save a woman's life.

Isn't a health exception unnecessary?
No. When the Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's ban, it did so in part because the ban failed to include a health exception. The Court has long held that laws restricting abortion access must contain an exception to protect women's health.


Myth: Abortion bans are necessary to prevent elective abortions late in pregnancy.

Fact: Abortion bans are not confined to any stage of pregnancy, and third-trimester abortions are not elective.


Don't women seek elective third-trimester abortions?
No. Long-standing, unchallenged statutes in 40 states and the District of Columbia prohibit third-trimester abortions except when the life or health of the woman is at stake.

Answer 4

Which liberals do you speak of? I have never met anyone that condones this.

Stop with the propaganda pictures. In case you haven't figured this out, you can't get through to people by shoving your beliefs down their throats.

Answer 5

That's between a woman and her Doctor. NOT for "cons" to decide. Mind your OWN business...

Answer 6
