Enough votes to ban partial birth abortions
Even if Granholm vetoes bill, as she has promised
By Chad Selweski
Macomb Daily (http://anonym.to?http://www.macombdaily.com/stories/052908/loc_local03.shtml)

A 6-year effort by a Macomb County lawmaker to impose a statewide ban on so-called partial birth abortions could become reality within weeks. Rep. Brian Palmer, a Bruce Township Republican, said Wednesday he believes legislation approved by a 74-32 vote in the House late Tuesday night will become law. Gov. Jennifer Granholm's press secretary said the governor will veto the bill but Palmer predicted the necessary two-thirds majorities for a veto override will prevail in the House and Senate.

"There's always the possibility that some pro-life Democrats might wane. They might not want to vote against their own governor," said Palmer, perhaps the most ardent anti-abortion legislator in Lansing.

Partial-birth abortions have been the subject of recurring controversy in the Capitol for more than a decade.

Under the procedure, rarely used and only in the latter stages of pregnancy, the fetus is partially extracted from a woman's uterus and then its skull is punctured or crushed to complete the abortion. Critics call it a "gruesome" practice while pro-choice advocates say a ban presents a slippery slope toward more abortion restrictions.

At fetal age 23 weeks (25 weeks pregnant):

- 13.5 inches in length and weighs 1 and half pounds.
- Bones are becoming solid, hands are now fully developed.
- The brain is growing rapidly, the brain cells are starting to mature.
- The sexual organs are fully developed.

http://i29.tinypic.com/4g6v69.jpg

Baby is now pretty well built portion wise even though it still has little body fat and its skin is thin. The structures of the spine begin to form -- All 33 rings, 150 joints and 1000 ligaments. The tiny brain is growing rapidly (http://www.bidmc.harvard.edu/content/bidmc/departments/radiology/files/fetalatlas/brain/23_24/23_24.html), and the baby is starting to fill the space in your uterus. The uterus is now about the size of a soccer ball and mom looks pregnant.

Your baby's hands are now fully developed, although some of the nerve connections to the hands have a long way to go. Dexterity is improving. Your baby can make a fist and clasp objects placed in palm. Exploring the structures inside your uterus may have become baby's prime entertainment. Fascinated by the amount of tactile stimulation a fetus gives itself; it touches a hand to the face, one hand to the other hand, clasps its feet, touches its foot to its leg, its hand to its umbilical cord. Twins will explore each other and begin their bonding.

Blood vessels of the lungs develop. Your baby's nostrils begin to open. The nerves around the mouth and lip area are showing more sensitivity now. Their swallowing reflexes are developing. Baby can hear sounds outside the womb and the brain cells are starting to mature also. Already it can learn and remember and can recognise its mother and fathers voice.

Babies born at 25 weeks of pregnancy stand a 50% chance of survival.

There should be more pro-abortion adds that coerce women into doing it sooner. That's one of many ways to lessen the amount of partial birth abortions. I don't know how common they are though (doubtful that they even are), but anyway...

The heart of the matter is what frickin' reasoning causes women to wait that long ...ponsidering that they have to be disabled (aka 'pregnant') for longer and health risks of abortion increase, which all makes the whole ordeal harder. Perhaps for some it's mostly an issue of making enough cash within a time limit and/or not being able to make up their minds...but women who are responsible for their minds and bodies either:

1. say "hey buddy, use a fuckin rubber", even if they are 'in love' or find condoms a 'mooooood' killer
2. are able to properly use birth control
3. get pregnant and decide to carry it to term without becoming lost between options due to misguided emotions...so don't wait until the last, last minute to decide "NO I CANT HAVE A BABY OMFG!"

The image of seeing their baby being torn to shreds as it's being extracted from them will scar them for life.

That's not true. There are plenty of other cases where murder is not 'murder', but called something else and considered a justifiable reason to end a life prematurely. Probably some you'd accept yourself.

Upon conception, a genetically unique human organism is created (or maybe two of them, in the case of identical twins). If no violence is done to this human organism, it will become (barring other calamities) a fully-developed person. Thus it is an indisputable fact that human life begins at conception. Killing a human organism thay will soon become a fully concious person may not be identical to murder, buts its close enough to warrant its being made illegal. Its certainly very similar to murder. Abortion is a form of violent activity that results in the death of a human.

And being Catholic has nothing to do with it. While I call myself a Catholic for reasons of Celtic tribalism and admiration for the Roman Empire, I don't even really believe in God.

While the occurrences of abortion should be reduced as much possible,it is needed for certain cases like when a white woman gets impregnated by a nigger rapist.

Niggers aren't human so the same standards don't apply. Aborting black babies would be akin to smashing a wasp's nest or stepping on a cockroach, only much more beneficial.

I'm not a big fan of the rape exception per se, but exceptions for incest, miscegenation, and catastrophic birth defects all make sense to me.

So as long as a White man rapes your daughter, you think she should be forced to bear a child who carries the genes of a violent rapist?

Jesus, man; no child should come in to this world as a product of rape. That's just a recipe for a career criminal.

I don't think Jake was pointing to race as a factor

A damn scary scenario indeed. But it's very difficult for a woman to even prove rape, especially if it can be shown that she said that just to get an abortion. Either way, I too see too many problems by allowing the "only for rape victims" exception. If a woman will have herself scraped away as a birth control method with no regrets, then that's a mark on her record and raises a flag for everyone about her character

I view later term abortions as murder, prior to two months otoh the fetus can't feel even the most basic stimuli. I think a bare minimum of consciousness is required before its called murder so early term it ain't.

If you do outlaw abortion you cannot make an exception for rape period, as bad as forcing a woman to bear a rape child to term its too much of a motivation for a false accusation there.

The best possible scenario would be to outlaw all abortion period, but in cases of rape the authorities would look the other way like they used to. Of course, that would require common sense so it won't ever happen.

Not really. All that is necessary is to require a raped women to go to the police at the time of the rape, not later after she finds out she is pregnant. No ex post facto rape. The only laws we truly need are laws prohibiting White women from aborting, and maybe Japanese women too.

If you make one more post on this subject, you're going to convince me that Weikel's been right all along.

I'd like to spare you the shame and humiliation of admitting Weikel is right, but unfortunately I can't.

Why should anyone take your opinions seriously when you jump the guns with cheap cop-outs like:

-claiming "niggers aren't human"
-insulting and looking down on people who don't share your views (more like rigid, emotion-based convictions),
which are just means of avoiding acknowledging the facts or the opinions of the 'dehumanized' other.

and then have the audacity to throw in a typical covert near-threat too many men use:

"How dare a woman talk to me that way", which extensively implies women should not confront/argue with men, in part because of the 'weight-class' difference. It's kind of like preventing the frustration of being proven wrong by a person perceived inferior, a big blow to the ego, and further frustration 'cause it cannot be satisfied with violence because of social mores sayin men shouldnt hit girls (unless, of course, Weikel happens to be right and you accept your rationalization). Maybe you can punch me one day (since I'm obviously asking for it) I'll eventually heal.


but all along it's your choice to come across as taking it personally....and mine to respond seriously.


Without having witnessed any kind of stats, I can guarantee you that 99.9% of abortions have nothing to do with saving the mother's life.
