[Vision2020] Is it Infanticide Vs. Abortion? (was: CatholicMajority On Supreme Court)

[Tony]

Andreas, just a quick note to enlighten you as to what partial birth 
abortion entails.  And no, it is not a reference to virtually all abortions 
as you mistakenly claim.  The medical term for this barbaric "procedure" is 
intact dilation and extraction.  The squirming infant is pulled feet first 
from its Mommy until only its little head remains inside.  Then the "doctor" 
unceremoniously stabs the little guy or gal at the base of its skull and 
sucks out its brain, at which point the poor innocent babe's skull 
collapses, facilitating its removal and disposal.  There is no place for 
such murderous behavior in a civilized society.  Those who support the 
continuation of this practice are moral reprobates who should be shunned.

Hope this clears up your confusion.

Best,   -Tony
