Partial Birth Abortions--NOT an abortion debate

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I just have a general question, and wonder if someone could educate me...this is a true curiosity question.

When I first heard of this procedure years ago, I really and truly thought it was a medical myth or something practices in a third-world country.

I can think of many truly, medical reasons where a mother cannot continue a pregnancy and it would put her life at risk, but I cannot think of a single reason of why a c-section, artificial labor induction...cannot take place, and why a baby would have to be destroyed while half-way out of the womb...why couldn't the baby be treated as any other preemie and let nature (or God), make the decision?

Can anyone share some light? I have tried to find the reasons behind this (and as of the recent USSC decision, it's now illegal) online and can't find any.

I don't personally see how ANYONE can justify sucking the brains out of an infant and not see it as murder. Calling it what it is would put us in the court system so we don't call it what it is.
