Partial birth abortion law

Seems the Supreme Court will now review the ban on partial birth abortion.

With the 2 newly appointed Republican justices I have a feeling that this method of abortion will be ruled unconstitutional and put into law.

I disagree with abortion..... ESPECIALLY this method. It is barbaric and totally uncalled for. It it NEVER necessary. EVER. Even to protect the mother's health.

story

I've told this story on here befor so I'll give you the short version.

On the day that my daughter was born in 1997 she was 8 weeks premature. My wife was diagnosed with eclampsia, accute toximia. The placinta ruptured and my wife was hemoraging badly. This is the argument for the partial birth abortion.

When doing this method, labor is induced in the mother, which could take 3-5 hours. Then the baby is then delivered breach and ........then the bad stuff happens. I'm not going to describe it in the enterest of good tast. This entire proceedure can take up to 7 hours while the mother is still hemoriging.

When my wife hemmoriged, the doctors said the fastest way to save my wifes life (she was bleeding to death) was to take the baby "C" section.

The hemorage began at 9:35 AM, and my daughter was born at 10:01 AM perfectly healthy, but small. So my wife lost blood for 26 minutes instead of the 5-8hours that a mother in a partial birth abortion would have.

Up untill the time of her birth she could legally have been aborted.

My wife was a textbook case that the abortion rights advocites use. They are wrong.

Partial birth abortion has no real medical use and is murder, pure and simple.

I am more than disgusted at Partial Birth Abortion. It is wrong and will forever be wrong. End of story.

John, I couldn't agree with you more. Partial birth abortion (and really abortion in general) is abhorrant, but I don't think that's what the Supreme Court will be looking at. At least I hope not. What I want them to look at is the law that is written and the U.S. Constitution. And that is all they should be considering. Not whether some practice, in this case partial birth abortion, is something incredibly distasteful or even whether it's something that has support from a majority of U.S. citizens. Just look at the law and the Constitution and determine if it's legal.

After all, it was a previous Supreme Court ignoring the Constitution that gave us abortion on demand in the first place.

I remember something in the preable of the constitution about everyone haveing the right to "Life Liberty and the persuit of happiness". I would think that sence "life" is first then it would take precidence over the other two when in conflict.

What makes me sick are those who want to do this(Partial Birth Abortion) and call this a civilized nation. It is totally barbaric, its like they want to go back to the Dark Ages!

[EKYhunter]

All of you guys are right. It's murder pure and simple as is ALL abortion. I am a registered Democrat and it makes me SICK that many in my party support this ungodly garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnf]

I've heard stories of the babies trying to squirm thier way out of the "Doctor's" grasp during the "proceedure".

I don't see how they could live with themselves.

You know there was a time when the Democratic party were the "Good Christian" peopel. The problem is that much of the older generation don't see the party for what it has become.

[EKYhunter]

I see it for what's it's becoming and I'm 34. This abortion crap is sickening. God knew us before he formed us in the womb. I just don't get how people can support killing babys. I've got a six year old and a two month old. I just can't see supporting this trash!!!!!

[Mathews XT Man]

All abotions are wrong in my veiw, if they are induced for any other reason other than saving the mothers life. end of story,.

Not to get off the main topic here (Abortion) but I've thought about switching but you know in the local politics here where I live no democrats support any type of abortion. Sometimes I feel like the Democratic party has been hijacked by the likes of Kennedy, Feinstein, and Hillary. The Dems that I know don't support abortion, gay rights, gun control, etc. I think it's a vocal minority that seems to set the agenda or platform.

I do not support the president or his policies such as tax cuts for the rich, cutting things like student loans, medicare benefits, cutting monies that go to grants for things like local law enforcement, the war, letting UAE run our ports, etc... So I guess what I'm saying is I don't believe in many things that the Republicans believe on a national level. Guess I'm caught in between!

Only the Presidents laws and beliefs are not inhumane and cruel. Just a thought, but you may want to become a Elephant.

This "to save a mothers life" argument is hype - it's used by pro-choice advocates as a touchy-feely emotional, seemingly non-debatable, justification for abortion. It is hype - the number of mothers who have "life-saving" abortion is essentially non-existent. I predict that not a single person on this forum personally knows a mother whose life was saved by an abortion....
