You're playing games. The statement by ACOG was unambiguous. If you disagre with it I have no problem with that. If you are trying to claim they didn't say what they clearly said and what I quoted then you are damaging the value of your own position. You cannot effectively claim the moral high ground in an argument while simultaeneously mischaracterizing your opponents position.

Actually, to anyone familiar with the basics of the English language it is VERY ambiguous, and it is MORE reasonably understand to assert that partial birth abortions MAY be a better option over alternative methods of ABORTING the baby, but nowhere does it assert that it is every a neccesary alternative to LIVE BIRTH.
Given that the AMA HAS asserted that it is never medically neccesary to do a PBA given the alternative of LIVE BIRTH by completing the delivery, I would think most rational thoughtful people would want the ACOG to state this unequivocably. But they don't.
Cite for me exactly where in their statement is the option of live birth even alluded to or implied?
