In response to the Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, many abortion providers in Boston and around the country have adopted a defensive tactic. To avoid any chance of partially delivering a live fetus, they are injecting fetuses with lethal drugs before procedures.
This is the natural result of the absurd definitions of what is and is not a life the pro-abortion crowd has been forced to resort to. The entire idea behind partial-birth abortion being illegal is that you are killing a human child after it has been pulled from the womb, even if partially.
Currently, a child killed in the womb by a mother or by a doctor with consent from the mother cannot be illegal as evidenced by the extreme case of a mother in Virginia shooting her unborn child with a pistol on her due date. Even children just minute or hours away from birth are not safe.
The partial birth abortion ban made it illegal to kill children after partially pulling them from the womb, but now doctors are getting around that by just killing the child in the womb before they pull the poor thing out and cut it apart.
But here’s the rub: How can we say that a child just minutes or hours away from birth, or even a child months away from being full-term but still capable of life outside the womb, is not a life? Yet is a life after it is removed from the womb?
It makes no logical sense, just as it makes no logical sense for pro-abortion types to try and claim that life begins at some arbitrary point after conception (from the point of viability outside of the womb to actual vaginal or surgical birth, depending on who you ask) instead of recognizing that life is a continuum of growth and development at all times from the point of conception on.
This is the sort of fact-twisting those in favor of abortion must engage in to rationalize their support of killing unborn children.
