[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a relative who works in a NICU.  She said she could never make sense of the fact that they would be spending tens -- if not hundreds -- of thousands of dollars keeping pre-term babies alive in one end of the hospital, while they were aborting babies of the same gestational age in the other end.

This is really laughably ignorant, considering the number of second trimester abortions in this country is tiny and not usually performed in a hospital unless there's a medical necessity to save the mother's life.  Maybe she's delusional?[/quote]

I'm pro-choice, but abortion advocates have ensured that there are essentially NO limitations on abortion in this country.  Why was there such a fight over "partial birth abortion" if it isnt used?  What is the article about?  Who's delusional here?[/quote]

If you are really pro-choice you should educate yourself.  It is totally untrue that there are "essentially NO limitations" on abortions in the US.  Under Planned Parenthood v Casey, at the point of viability, the state's interest in protecting the fetus outweigh the rights of the woman to abortion.  So states can (and have) banned post-viability abortions.  And even for early abortions, the law allows states to impose a framework of limitations, such as parental notification, waiting periods, forced ultrasounds, etc etc etc.  The fight over partial birth abortion, by the way, was so passionate because it interferes with medical care that a woman may need for her own life/health by telling the doctor exactly how he can/can't do surgery, based on factors other than his best medical judgment.
