If not, here is a diagram (don't worry, not gruesome pictures):

My guess is there are not a lot of people out there that actually know the baby's body is fully delivered except for the head (legs and arms moving which are outside of the mother), then the baby's brains are sucked out w/ a vacuum like suction.
What do you think? Is this humane? Should it be considered life at this point? It really is about 5 seconds from the legal definition of life otherwise. Which would be considered legally 5 seconds from murder.

Report all you want "Hallmonitor". This is a perfectly open-ended question. Also, it would be covering current news events considering there was a supreme court ban on this actual procedure yesterday.

Yes, I am familiar with the technical procedure. It is ghastly! I am GLAD GLAD GLAD that the Supreme Court finally had the moxie to stand up to Planned (non)Parenthood and the Abortion Mills and their lobbiests, and upheld the ban on this procedure.
How can a culture argue that it is inhumane to kill convicted murderers, drug dealers, and rapists with sedatives, and yet promote doing this to children?
The pro-Abortionists, btw, would have us consider the newly born child still a "fetus", and therefore disposable, if he or she is still connected to the mother via an umbilical cord! If, 30 seconds after birth, the parents see something "unwanted" with their baby, breathing and all, they should have the "choice" to kill their own child. These people are sick!

I, for one, think it is completely inhumane. How on earth could someone do something so gruesome to a fellow human being, a baby at that? I think it should be considered murder. If you are going to give birth, even if it's partial, what's the point of killing the child? Why not just deliver it completely, and save a life (one that could possibly change the course of history forever)? Once you find out you are pregnant, you could put your child up for adoption (many, many couples out there who want to concieve but can't)? If you aren't willing to have a child, USE PROTECTION! I bet, someday, people will realize that this was a flaw in our society and culture altogether. We are destroying innocent life.

....sigh.....dude.
You gotta know posting this here doesn't change a thing.
Like, say I'm deranged enough to believe that murder is okay as long as the person is a certain color. Do you think a post on YA is gonna change my mind? Or suppose I think anyone who depends on government help should be killed off. Can you convince an idiot? It's like trying to talk a lion civil.
A murderer, or a person who believes murder is okay (which are the same in my book) is NOT going to change their ways because of anything you or I or any of the other sane people in this world say.
Wanna change it, change it with a vote.

Partial Birth Abortion is gross! I'm on the side of the baby. Women don't have the right to choose to kill.
I'm a woman, but not a feminist.
