"Ron Fitzsimmons, the executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, said he intentionally misled in previous remarks about the procedure, called intact dilation and evacuation by those who believe it should remain legal and 'partial-birth abortion' by those who believe it should be outlawed, because he feared that the truth would damage the cause of abortion rights.
In the vast majority of cases, the procedure is performed on a healthy mother with a healthy fetus that is 20 weeks or more along, Mr. Fitzsimmons said. 'The abortion-rights folks know it, the anti-abortion folks know it, and so, probably does everyone else.'"
Echobelly sings about the emotional fall-out of abortion in Bellyache. It kind of rips off How Soon Is Now, but still...
Now, someone find me the Sex Pistols "Body" music video, and I'll post it.

"The dominant hand (right hand for a right-handed person) grabs an imaginary object from the horizontal, downturned, non-dominant '5' hand and then is thrown down and open."
Basically, act as though you're plucking something from its environment and then pretend to throw it away. (Try adding a "splat" at the end for effect.)
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button girl, So cradle your head in you hands And breathe, just breathe, Whoa breathe, just breathe...
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist, Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year. Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe, just breathe, Whoa breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, its no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. and breathe, just breathe whoa breathe, just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe.
It won't prevent one death, you understand, but it will prevent partial birth abortion, and a lethal injection is better than having your brains sucked out. So I suppose it's some sort of triumph.
Reminder to those who feel the ruling threatens a woman's health: Partial birth abortion has been deemed (by doctors) never medically necessary. Inductions or C-sections can be initiated, and the baby is so far along that there is a chance of survival at this point, i.e., no one has to die for Mom's health to be spared.
Could it be that certain people are angry because partial birth abortion really isn't about saving a mother's life...but about the right of a woman to kill her child any way she sees fit...as long as some portion of the child's body remains inside her own, therefore ensuring that "sweet" classification of a living human child as a non-person with all the legal protection of a wart?

Yeah, moms like me should just "get over" the violent deaths of children.
Or perhaps, Rudy should just "get over" the presidency.
