I think this is correct. They canât give an inch because their whole philosophy will fall apart. It took me awhile to see it. All the rationalizations are exhausting.Theyâre just being logically consistent.The only difference between the child before and after is location, if its ok to kill the child just moments ago when she/he was in the womb why in the world would it be any worse to kill it a minute later when it is in a different location.
You can watch the full exchange. Itâs painful to watch. Starts at about the 38 minute mark:The lobbyist for Planned Parenthood, at least, made herself look like a bumbling fool. Small mercies.
Yup. Iâve seen fish out of water that looked more comfortable.You can watch the full exchange. Itâs painful to watch. Starts at about the 38 minute mark:

This is just as scary, from Slate magazine.I think this is correct. They canât give an inch because their whole philosophy will fall apart. It took me awhile to see it. All the rationalizations are exhausting.
slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/05/31/sex_selection_abortion_and_the_pro_choice_movement_why_liberals_shouldn_t_gulp.htm⌠letâs just remember that we are talking about fetuses. No matter how many ultrasound pics get posted to Facebook, these are fetuses with female genitals or male genitalsânot little girls and little boys. If pro-choicers object to aborting because of the sex of the fetus, arenât we then saying that abortion is âmurderingâ girls? Arenât we basically arguing that a fetus is not a blank slate but a future possibility? That is not the case to make if your goal is to protect abortion rights. Gulp for a second if you must, then get over it.
Ho-lee ****. What in the WORLD does that author think a fetus IS, then, if not a future possibility? Some spontaneous vegetable that sprouts in the womb sometimes, after sex? Good God.This is just as scary, from Slate magazine.
Why Pro-Choicers Should Be OK With Sex-Selection Abortions

âWar on womenâ, anyone??
I have spent a lot of time in the pro life movement. I have heard many, many stories of doctors and nurses IGNORING a living baby after an âabortionâ: putting it aside, despite its cries or struggles. If I remember correctly (it being 30 years ago), a âmedicalâ person spoke to us about this at one time (we were actively picketing an abortion clinic which actually closed because of our presence). So, I guess itâs true.Some maybe shocked today but over time they will get comfortable with this ârightâ
Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion.
Alisa Laport Snow, the lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified that her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.

Interesting. But this is where the logic of the pro-abortion movement always ends up. There can be no qualifers, no exceptions, not even for partial birth abortion, not evem if the baby is in the birth canal, not even if the baby makes it out alive. Death was the intent, and death must be accepted. âGulp for a second if you must, then get over it.â⌠letâs just remember that we are talking about fetuses.

Menâs tendency to subjugate and abuse women operates on personal, institutional and cultural levels, notes novelist and feminist French ( Beyond Power ). Boysâ desire to dominate girls is instilled in childhood, while grown men see women as mothers owing them caretaking services, she observes. In her sharp analysis a major goal of male-conceived religious movements like Christian fundamentalism and militant Islam is to keep women subservient. Other examples of institutional suppression of women explored by French are discrimination in the workplace, biased divorce judgments and widespread rape, wife beating and male incest, a systemic pattern tolerated by society.
This Planned Parenthood offensive is **actively **pursuing a path that Illinois Senator Barack Obama defended (that is ⌠it was deliberately happening in hospitals passively â and he opposed legislation that would offer protections to live born babies under those circumstances). Obama was positioned on the critical committee that could pass the legislation on for a vote â and his votes and actions in that committee three times blocked consideration of the Induced Infant Liability Act (2002).Some maybe shocked today but over time they will get comfortable with this ârightâ

The testimony of nurse Jill Stanek who witnessed âlive birthâ abortions at Christ HospitalWhen he was in the Illinois state Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic Constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion â not once, but four times. I know itâs by the grace of God that Iâm alive today, if only to ask America this question: Is this the kind of leadership that will lead us forward â that would discard the weakest among us?â
â Failed-abortion survivor Melissa Ohden in an ad from the Susan B. Anthony List
One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Downâs Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have time to hold him.
I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived. He was 21 to 22 weeks old, weighed about 1/2 pound, and was about 10 inches long.
He was too weak to move very much, expending any energy he had trying to breathe. Toward the end he was so quiet that I couldnât tell if he was still alive unless I held him up to the light to see if his heart was still beating through his chest wall.
Babyâs hand grasps Doctorâs finger, from the wombAfter he was pronounced dead, we folded his little arms across his chest, wrapped him in a tiny shroud, and carried him to the hospital morgue where all of our dead patients are taken.
I canât make a better argument than the above photo, but followed a couple of links from Slate and found this from a woman who attended college at the time of Roe vs Wade:
It would be impossible to find out, the record would not mention it.Do we know how often this happens? I was a bit surprised at her response that she doesnât know how prevalent it is.
