Very few if any are because of medical complications.
Maybe you should read some of the stories from women who have had to have late-term abortions, or look up some of the complications that necessitate late-term abortion. To say that very few, if any are because of medical complications is woefully ignorant.
And probably because the Republican platform is to make all abortions illegal including in the cases of rape and incest.
That was Akin's platform, not the entire Republican party's. You probably never even heard of Akin until the libs took his stupid comment and ran. The Democrats don't have anything to run on other than abortion and trying to scare women into thinking that Republicans are going to take all their rights away. Fear mongering, distraction and distortion. Too bad obama can't run on his record.
He didn't know because, frankly, not even the delivering physician necessarily knows beforehand.
Breathing or movements are not a guarantee of viability, regardless of heroic measures forced upon it.
Actually this also happens in situations of induced early labor (due to emergent complications of fetus or the woman) or spontaneous premature labor.
If a fetus emerges at, say, 22 weeks under either of those circumstances and is not stillborn, the doctor determines whether heroic measures are to be taken or not.
Heroic measures? I believe that what we are discussing is basic medical care that every newborn needs if it is going to survive. Why are you making a distinction? This is a new human life and it is outside the womb - there should be no excuse why the baby would not receive the best care available.
That's right - then state Senator Obama, in debate over a bill that would protect survivors of late term abortions - hinted that a living baby outside the womb might still be considered a fetus - and voted against the bill that would require another physician to verify that the infant is indeed alive.
Barack Obama essentially approved infanticide.
People, this is not rocket science. If birth is induced and the infant is outside the womb and is moving around(demonstrating signs of life) then the baby is alive - and Mr. Obama said that he trusts the doctor who had just tried to destroy that life to ensure that this new American citizen receives the neccesary medical care to ensure his/her survival.
The president didn't even know if it was a fetus, or a child. Huh??? Mr. President - we can have disagreements about what the life is inside the womb - but there should be absolutely no conflict over what we are discussing when the life is outside the womb.
Mr. President - that is what one calls a human infant - and it is now a citizen deserving of protection - and you Mr. President voted to open up the potential of that baby being killed.
Why is the MSM ignoring this?
Why has the MSM ignored so many things that weren't positive about Barack Obama? When you find that out you will know why they ignore this one.
Not according to Mr. Obama. It was Mr. Obama that started this whole political redebate over "womens reproductive rights".
if we are going to explose Mr. Romney on the issue and the republican party on the issue, then we need to go all in and explore everyone.
Mr. Romney believes in seeking ways to preserve innocent life and it is clear from the Obama quote that Mr. Obama believes in seekign ways to kill innocent life.
and that right there is the difference between most Republicans and most Democrats.
This is absurd. Neither party seeks to kill innocent life. Obama is up there in the Oval Office plotting ways to kill babies. Yeah, you really figured him out.
No one can force anyone else to have an abortion. Mind your own business. This shouldn't even be discussed as a political issue because it is a PERSONAL decision.
Probably because this happened in 2002 and has already been hashed over. A lot has happened in the last 10 years that's a little more important to report on.
This one has been hashed over on C-D but I don't remember reading much about it in the media outside many blogs and the one right leaning news source we all know about.
You are sure right about the last 10 years when you consider the latest unstudied lies that have come on about the words of Todd Akin. Oh, wait a minute, Akin's story could destroy the Republicans and letting this story about Obama get out to the public might do the same for his party.

Murder is never a personal decison.
