Thanks, Paula for speaking against this horrible practice. I think it goes on largely because what actually happens is unknown to so many in our country. My wife and I are parents of beautiful girl whom we adopted. I am so grateful that her mother didn't abort her. Thanks again for your message.

Yes, they are mentioned in the article as a concerned group, however if you read the article in World Net Daily, it speaks of several groups, after it talks about ethicist and the US Congress' debate on the use of aborted babies. This article was written in Nov. 1999. It is not news. > > The need for living tissue seems to be the only reason for partial birth abortion. It certainly isn't for the life of the mother. This is usually done in the last trimester. If the baby is in the head down position, it has to be turned in the uterus to be able to pull the baby's body out feet first, just until the head is just about to be fully delivered, then the scull is punctured and the brains sucked out. This is not for the health of the mother, in fact it would be hard on her.When the baby is inches from being born, why can't it be pulled out the last inch or two, live and be given to someone that wants it? Look up www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp? ARTICLE_ID=17250. Sorry to be so graphic. It's not just right wing Christians that don't like this.
