This is viewed as a cruel and frivolous distinction for something that just has all the obvious signs of infanticide.

If it's about the late term aspect of partial birth abortions, then why don't they define "late term" and ban that?
This is my main issue with partial birth abortion. In the majority of cases in which the method is used, it is used on later term pregnancies. But THAT is the issue. If there is ONE instance in which a pregnant womans life can be saved by whatever method and this method is deemed by her doctor to be the best option for her, then we have a new argument don't we? Who has the greater right to life? As it is, a complete ban on any method of abortion which is safe for the mother, is hypocritical - they are all horrible.

Platitudes like the one you offer are no different - and no less incorrect - than the jackass part-time Christian who says, "I'm going to heaven because I'm nice to people." It so misses the point.~Impugn
