A Challenge to Democrats over Partial Birth Abortion
By punch bowl | November 8, 2007
Credit this to Morgan Wilkins –
What is a Partial-Birth Abortion?
The definition of partial-birth abortion in H.R. 1833 is “an abortion in which the person performing the abortion partially vaginally delivers a living fetus before killing the fetus and completing the delivery.”
A number of physicians were involved in the drafting of this language to ensure that it is medically accurate and does not encompass any other form of abortion or legitimate medical procedure.
Registered nurse Brenda Pratt Shafer witnessed several partial birth abortions while working for an Ohio abortionist. She described one of these abortions in a July 9, 1995, letter to Congressman Tony Hall:
The baby’s body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. All the while his little head was still stuck inside. Dr. Haskell took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby’s head. Then he opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby’s brains out.
Hillary, Obama, and Edwards, the Democratic frontrunners for president all support this, and have PROVEN that with their vote.
HOW ON EARTH DO YOU ALL SLEEP AT NIGHT??!?!?!?!
I challenge one person to justify their support of this heinous act, or thier support ofany of these candidates.
If you can not, then I challenge you to publicy remove your support of these candidates, or any other candidate who supports killing half born children.
Morgan, being Morgan, always seems to get quite a few comments on things she writes. Here are a few comments that struck my fancy –

I’m an independent. And I think “abortion” is an ancillary issue.
Steve, do you consider your life “ancillary?” Until you do, maybe you shouldn’t impose that label onto a political issue that forcibly costs thousands of human beings their lives each year.
And my favorite is from Stephen Shepard, a leftist friend who has shown up on CR Nation previously. Stephen said –
I would be for outlawing abortion IF:
1. Medical exemptions (the mother’s life being in danger) was an exclusion.
2. For poor mothers social services were provided for them i.e. food, housing, ect.
3. Non-abortive birth control was free.
4. Sex-ed was taught in all schools.
5. Abstinence programs went the way of the dinosaurs (sorry guys, we’ve proven these programs are highly ineffective)
6. We enforced a living wage instead of a minimum wage.
So there you go, we know for a fact that abortion is a result of poverty, if we can encourage an environment (often that the poor don’t have) of nurturing and help I would firmly reject Roe v. Wade.
Stephen, fixing one wrong only to governmentally impose another six doesn’t seem like a good deal. You really need to work on your log rolling, otherwise your Marxist policies won’t get you very far.

Ah I’m famous again (this is really stroking my ego by the way)
Let’s get rid of the name calling, I was never a fan of Marx. I always thought that Europeans fumbled everything up i.e. WWI, WWII, Vietnam (which the French got us into).
Let’s face it guys and I’ve stated this before; one extreme is just as evil as the other. Pure capitalism is bad, and pure socialism is bad. The economy of the U.S. is really in trouble due to GW’s ownership society by the way….

You need a level of government control even in a free market, just as capitalism appeals to a persons own interests, that idea would be carried to the point of absolute domination from a few who control all of the capital if the markets was free reign. We saw this with the robber-baron’s.
Look at ancient Rome near the end of the empire, there was no control over the monetary system and the system collapsed from within.
The industry REQUESTED better Gov’t oversight when China sent our children toys that were caked with lead paint; do you want your children playing with toys caked with lead paint?
Do you think China had American children in mind when they sent those toys? Did the industry test these toys? No, they went to the shelves and only after later concern they were pulled.
I agree with you on one thing, we’re presented with only two options, free markets or government and I really don’t trust either one.
However, at least the government is more transparent than a company and with the fear of being booted from office our elected officials are forced to do something.
