Dude, as a retired surgical assistant who actually has a medical degree, and specialty in Surgical techniques, you are full of effluent. There is no such procedure as a partial birth abortion.

"The term "partial-birth abortion" also has no independent meaning: it is not a medical term nor does it refer to a medical procedure. The correct term, "intact dilation and extraction," is never mentioned in most proposed legislation, much of which is written in broad enough language to outlaw all abortions. Most states that passed bans on "partial-birth abortions," in fact, had previously banned late-term abortions. In Georgia, a court order revised a "partial-birth abortion" law by limiting it to post-viability dilation and extraction and insisting on exceptions to protect the pregnant women's life and health. The courts have severely limited or enjoined "partial-birth abortion" legislation in 19 of the 20 states where challenges were mounted. Because an educated public overwhelmingly rejects the bans, reproductive rights activists are attempting to educate the public despite the inability or unwillingness of the media to make the crucial distinction.

Then why did my former Senator Claire McCaskill call it that? And she insisted "that it remain legal to save the life of the mother." I was trying to be kind, because I assumed that everyone knows what it is: But just how can sucking the brains out of a partially delivered baby, and then delivering the dead baby, save its mothers life? If you say its mother wouldn't be "happy" to care for this child, that is no excuse for murder! BTW, my daughter is a doctor.

You're completely misguided and don't know what the fuck these medical procedures are and why they are needed. Talk to your daughter, assuming she is one of the sane ones.

I don't know of any abortion "procedure" that is not "barbaric."

What is barbaric is fools like you getting women and babies killed for lack of pre/post maternal healthcare. Blood on your hands, of both women and babies.
