Abortion: Partial Birth Abortion
built 627 days ago
In 2003, President George W. Bush enacted the “Partial Birth Abortion” Ban. The term “partial birth abortion” was vaguely defined and did not mention specific medical procedures recognized by the medical community. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) filed a court challenge to block enforcement of the law. The case was called NAF v. Ashcroft and is now called NAF v. Gonzales. A federal judge in New York granted a temporary restraining order, blocking enforcement of the ban while the case proceeded. Following a nearly month-long trial, the same judge issued a permanent injunction and struck down the federal abortion ban as unconstitutional because it lacked an exception to protect a woman's health.

Note that graphic abortion pictures exist because the aborted babies in these photos were killed by abortionists who were paid to 'terminate' their pregnancy. Like victims of the Nazi holocaust, aborted babies have no right to life. 'Pro-choice' treats unborn babies just like the Nazis treated the Jews. In America, thousands daily are tortured to death - torn limb from limb, chemically burned, and worse. [Click here for facts on abortion procedures. For more on partial birth abortion, click here.]

Nebraska enacted a “partial birth abortion” law that banned certain vaguely described surgical abortions procedures, unless necessary to save the life of women. Leroy Carhart, a Nebraska physician who specialized in abortion care, brought suit against the statute. In 2000, the US Supreme Court ruled in Stenberg v Carhart that the legislation was unconstitutional for two reasons: (1) the statute lacked the necessary exception for preserving the health of women, and (2) the definition of “partial birth abortion” was too vague, placing an undue burden on women’s right to make a decision on abortion.

The first partial birth abortion was performed in 1989 by Dr. Kavorkian. The child lived till it was 13 years old forcing his mother to carry around his dead corpse until she died five years later from getting the childs head caught in a wood chipper... pulling her in. Many believe that partial birth abortions are an abomination seeing as how it forces the poor child to be permanently attached to its mother and in some extreme cases the father.
