I am opposed to abortions, but I am particularly opposed to partial-birth abortion. My husband was a doctor and he said there are absolutely no medical reasons for performing partial-birth abortions. I have heard other doctors say the same thing. Problems can be found early in the pregnancy.

For partial-birth abortion, the baby is turned in the womb so that legs and arms are delivered out of the birth canal first. The little arms and legs are moving as they are delivered. Then before the head is delivered, a needle is inserted into the head and the brains are sucked out. The lively little legs suddenly go still and limp. It is diabolical!

I challenge you to watch a partial-birth abortion before you try to make them legal. And if you are still in favor of partial-birth abortions, would you please explain the difference to “your people” between partial-birth abortion and putting two-day old, unwanted babies on a pillow and shooting them in the head. To me, that even sounds more humane than sucking their brains out. The result is the same Dead, murdered, innocent babies.
