In Gosnell's case, yes, which is why he's in prison. But late-term abortion, which I have experienced, is most often performed after fetal life is terminated in utero using medication. Only then is labor induced.

Have you been there for each and every abortion that you can verify this?

The thing is, the OP knows this. This is just more of the usual nonsense by the forced birth crowd.
Right? What kind of idiot believes that a woman would endure nine months of pregnancy, and then get an abortion for the hell of it? Good Lord.

My personal feelings about abortion are complex and not easily articulated, and I am not sure what I would have done if I found myself facing an unplanned pregnancy, but I sure as hell know that if I decided to terminate, it would be as soon as I possibly could.

The ones who could live outside it? Absolutely. I agree.

Those that cannot are fetuses and they cannot survive without a host. They're POTENTIAL babies.

Of course it is. But, people like to believe the rhetoric about how it's done to actual, viable fetuses that could survive just fine outside the uterus.

No... those are pre-term births.

It's beyond the first, but it's not to the point of viability outside the uterus.

Of course, you know that.

No... that's not at all why they're brain dead. They're brain dead, usually, from genetic abnormalities inconsistent with life.

If they are large enough to deliver without traumatizing the woman, they tend to come out whole. If they are too small for that, they do come out in pieces, but so do miscarried fetuses, so what's your point?

Why do you think that doctors want to be brutal for brutality's sake?

I mean, other than the ones who create propaganda films to convince naive types, that is.

You cannot be serious with this question. I will repeat: the protocol for late-term abortion is medical termination prior to induction or evacuation. Sadly, I've been through it myself, which I've recounted in many other posts. I'm also the child of an OB-Gyn. I know how it works.
