**My apologies for forgetting to put the links in when I first posted this.**
First, a message from Obama:
First of all, the woman who says there was legislation passed that takes a woman’s right away to choose is referring to the Partial Birth Abortion Act. That was the only abortion related national legislation going on at the time of this Planned Parenthood Appearance.
Here is the definition of Partial Birth Abortion in the PBA Ban Act 1995:
H.R. 1833, the ‘‘Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1995,’’ bans the partial-birth abortion procedure. A partial-birth abortion is any abortion in which a living baby is partially delivered before killing the baby and completing the delivery.
Partial-birth abortion goes far beyond the ‘‘right’’ that was created by Roe v. Wade. The baby involved is not ‘‘unborn.’’ His or her life is taken during a breach delivery. A procedure which obstetricians use in some circumstances to bring a healthy child into the world is perverted to result in a dead child. The physician, traditionally trained to do everything in his power to assist and protect both mother and child during the birth process, deliberately kills the child in the birth canal. H.R. 1833 would end this cruel practice. The Court has never decided that human beings in the process of being born are not ‘‘persons.’’ Further, the Roe Court rejected the notion that a woman is entitled to abortion ‘‘at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses.’’
Here is how abortionist Martin Haskell described the procedure that he helped to create as said at the National Abortion Federation Risk Management Seminar on Sept 13, 1992. The transcript of this quote can be found in the PBA ban act of 1995:
The surgeon introduces a large grasping forceps…through the vaginal and cervical canals into the corpus of the uterus…. When the instrument appears on the sonogram screen, the surgeon is able to open and close its jaws to firmly and reliably grasp a lower extremity [leg]. The surgeon then applies firm traction to the instrument… and pulls the extremity into the vagina…. With a lower extremity in the vagina, the surgeon uses his fingers to deliver the opposite lower extremity, then the torso, the shoulders and the upper extremities [arms]. The skull lodges at the internal cervical os. At this point, the right-handed surgeon slides the fingers of the left had [sic] along the back of the fetus and ‘‘hooks’’ the shoulders of the fetus with the index and ring fingers (palm down). While maintaining this tension, lifting the cervix and applying traction to the shoulders with the fingers of the left hand, the surgeon takes a pair of blunt curved Metzenbaum scissors in the right hand. He carefully advances the tip, curved down, along the spine and under his middle finger until he feels it contact the base of the skull under the tip of his middle finger. [T]he surgeon then forces the scissors into the base of the skull or into the foramen magnum. Having safely entered
the skull, he spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening. The surgeon removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into this hole and evacuates the skull contents. With the catheter still in place, he applies traction to the fetus, removing it completely from the patient.
And now a description from a witness of this procedure, Brenda Shafer, RN:
The baby’s body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. All the while his little head was still stuck inside. Dr. Haskell took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby’s head. Then he opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby’s brains out. Next, Dr. Haskell delivered the baby’s head, cut the umbilical cord and delivered the placenta.
I think you get the point. The only difference between an abortion and infanticide is 2 inches. How disgusting is that? Not as disgusting as the fact that Obama voted against the ban. How banning this disgusting procedure takes a woman’s right to choose away has not been fully explained. This is because it doesn’t take any choice away, other than stopping cold blooded murder. But I digress….
What is the Freedom of Choice Act? According to S. 1173 and H.R. 1964 it is an act that takes all power of the states away. Exactly how is this constitutional? Not to mention the abundance of lies in it.
First Lie:
(5) These decisions have protected the health and lives of women in the United States. Prior to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, an estimated 1,200,000 women each year were forced to resort to illegal abortions, despite the risk of unsanitary conditions, incompetent treatment, infection, hemorrhage, disfiguration, and death. Before Roe, it is estimated that thousands of women died annually in the United States as a result of illegal abortions.
The Doctor who said these lies under oath, Bernard Nathanson, has admitted that they made these numbers up. Even the CDC disagrees with these numbers. In 1972 there was 24 maternal deaths from LEGAL abortions and 39 maternal deaths from ILLEGAL abortions. That just doesn’t sound like thousands of women does it?
Second Lie:
(9) Further threatening Roe, the Supreme Court recently upheld the first-ever Federal ban on an abortion procedure, which has no exception to protect a woman’s health.
There doesn’t have to be an exception because this is not the only late term abortion procedure. The other procedures include intrauterine instillation that has been proven safe to the mother if prostaglandin is used. Another procedure is when the doctor uses an ultra sound to guide a needle into the babies chest and inject medicine directly into the heart to kill the baby. The only reason Partial Birth Abortion procedure was used was because it was easier on the abortionist and not easier on the mother. Dr. Haskell admitted this under oath and in many different interviews.
Third Lie:
(10)…Incremental restrictions on the right to choose imposed by Congress and State legislatures have made access to reproductive care extremely difficult, if not impossible, for many women across the country. Currently, 87 percent of the counties in the United States have no abortion provider.
Planned Parenthood who made over 1 billion dollars in "profit" last year have closed clinics down claiming "poverty" and couldn’t afford to stay open. They then have opened up Mega Abortion clinics in places like Aurora IL. Having abortion providers in only 13% of counties has nothing to do with legislation and everything to do with greed.
Now what does this act do?
(a) Statement of Policy- It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.
(b) Prohibition of Interference- A government may not–
(1) deny or interfere with a woman’s right to choose–
(A) to bear a child;
(B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or
(C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or
(2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.(c) Civil Action- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a civil action.
This Act applies to every Federal, State, and local statute, ordinance, regulation, administrative order, decision, policy, practice, or other action enacted, adopted, or implemented before, on, or after the date of enactment of this Act.
First of all, the AMA cannot come up with any reason why the life of a baby would have to be sacrificed if the baby is viable, so lets just stop using that BS. And don’t say it doesn’t happen. Kansas admits to approximately 300 abortions on viable babies a year and that is just one state out of 50!
Second, aren’t we the "United" States of America? Doesn’t this mean that the states have a right to "choose" their laws? Doesn’t this FOCA take that constitutional right away from the states? Of course, no liberal will tell you that.
It has also been said by many people that this law would also take away the parental notification laws based on interpretation. The definition of "woman" isn’t in the Act. This means they could be referring to any female of reproductive age. This law also has the potential of taking parents rights away when it comes to their teenage daughter getting birth control pills and the morning after pill.
Sick, Sick, Sick that "abortion" trumps all safety. The right to an abortion = death by illusionary reproductive control.
