“…Congress found…that this method of killing a living fetus- performed on fetuses that are at or near viability-…perverts the birth process, blurs the line between abortion and infanticide, and confuses the medical, legal, and ethical duties of physicians to preserve life.
"Congress also found that partial-birth abortion imposes severe pain on the fetus.”
“Congress specifically found that partial-birth abortion poses serious risks of its own to the health of a woman undergoing the procedure.
"Those risks include…cervical incompetence, potentially hindering a woman’s ability to carry a subsequent pregnancy to term, and a risk of lacerations and severe hemorrhaging from a doctor forcing a sharp instrument into the base of the skull of the fetus while it is lodged in the birth canal.
"Additional risks include that of uterine rupture, abruption, amniotic fluid embolus, and trauma to the uterus as a result of any conversion of the fetus to a footling breech position...”
[Excerpts from previous Department of Justice filings from spokesman Monica Goodling, who published a detailed explanation of the legal issues involved in the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban case]
Right of Conscience Public Comment Ends 9 April
12,000+ emails urging the HHS TO REMOVE THE RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE have been sent by pro-death groups!!!
SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE
www.freedom2care.org
Thursday, 9 April, IS the LAST DAY to contact the Dept. of Health and
Human Services (HHS) regarding protection of the RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE
for all doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals.
If the Right of Conscience is taken away, all physicians and nurses
will be REQUIRED to refer for &/or participate in medication and
surgical abortions. Hospitals will ALL be required to participate in
abortions. This will probably also extend to pharmacists requiring them
to provide mifeprex (RU-486) and also the abortifacient Plan B
(Levonorgestrol/"morning-after pill").
Inform your physicians of the www.freedom2care.org website today, and ask all your friends and family to respond.
