A Woman's Right to Choose

Do you believe in a woman's right to choose?

Do you disagree with the Supreme Court's decision upholding a ban on partial birth abortion?

Are you certain you know what you are dealing with?  From a nurse who witnessed a partial birth abortion performed on a 26 1/2-week fetus and who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee: 

“‘Dr. Haskell went in with forceps and grabbed the baby’s legs and pulled them down into the birth canal. Then he delivered the baby’s body and the arms—everything but the head. The doctor kept the head right inside the uterus. . . .

“‘The baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of his head, and the baby’s arms jerked out, like a startle reaction, like a flinch, like a baby does when he thinks he is going to fall. “‘The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening, and sucked the baby’s brains out. Now the baby went completely limp. . . . “‘He cut the umbilical cord and delivered the placenta. He threw the baby in a pan, along with the placenta and the instruments he had just used.’” 

"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."  (Oliver Wendell Holmes.)

The right to empty a uterus of unwanted "tissue" should end where a baby's nose, head, hands, and feet begin.

I think that women has a right to
choose, and does choose, and we
must let her choose, no matter what
anyone else thinks.
