Atrocity

Despite having been declared illegal by our legislation, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton says that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is unconstitutional and "the act poses an undue burden on a woman's right to choose an abortion."

San Francisco Chronicle
Partial birth is not a medically accepted term, but as defined by the bill it is the "intentional delivery of a fetus until, in the case of a headfirst presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of the breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus."

I want to know exactly where in the Constitution we find the "right" to do this. What kind of world do we live in? I can't even imagine a world in which I would be so different from who I am now that I would think this was OK. What kind of “doctor” would condone and participate in the serial decapitation of babies?

Evidently the Chronicle felt that they should edit out some of the more graphic parts of the AP story. Here is the fuller version, here is the edited version. Among the missing passages is the description of the "procedure" that I quoted above.

We have heard the left screaming about atrocities until we can't even hear them through their own noise. I want to hear the left scream that this is an atrocity. Until they prove that they know what an atrocity is they don't have a leg to stand on.

Comment from Peg:

Essentially, I think that most on the left are repelled by partial birth abortion. I mean - how could you not be? We're talking about dismembering a human that could potentially live outside the womb on its own! Isn't it the left that (purportedly) is always talking about the rights of people, not harming people, etc?

I happen to think that this is one more example of how the left has gone semi-insane with their devotion to an issue. They put the right of abortion so high above almost all other rights, that they are willing to accept the dismemberment and killing of a human, capable of feeling pain and of life itself, because they are fearful that doing anything else will lead to the "slipperly slope" argument.

I happen to be an abortion rights advocate - in the first trimester. My own belief is that a human embryo is not a person - and, as such, it is permissible to kill it. I recognize that some do not accept my premise - but, it is what I believe.

Does anyone really believe, however, that a baby capable of living outside the womb is not a person?

What logical tortures the left must go through to accept this.

Anon,

I have deleted a number of your posts. I have banned several of the ip addresses that you have used with various false names. I have asked you to go away. I have even said, “Please.” If you had the common courtesy to use a valid e-mail address I would be saying this in private, but you have not. You persist in posting and re-posting messages I have deleted because I don’t want you here.

Your behavior is becoming stalker-like. You are making me nervous on a whole new level. You are making me think about the safety of my family and myself. This may, or may not, be your intention but you have made me consider the possibility.

I am asking you, as one person to another, don’t come back here. I hope you will respect my wishes.

Sean

Anon,

This request has nothing to do with the "Atrocity" post or your comments on it. I want you to go away. I have said it on your last several posts on other subjects. I have deleted your posts. I have banned your IP's.

I WANT YOU TO GO AWAY!

It has nothing to do with the fact that you disagree with me. It has to do with YOU.

GO AWAY.
