Dr James Dobson and his “pro-life” cohorts ought to be dancing in the streets over the USSC decision outlawing dilation and extraction abortion. Oh, you say, a fetal head 20” in diameter is no threat to the mother’s life? Too bad for her, eh? Or, to use the “compassionate conservative, Christian” argument, “Bitch shoulda thought a that before she spread her legs.”

From the site referenced in the link:

On 1995-JUL-19, on the radio program Focus on the Family Dr. Dobson referred to PBAs as a type of “Nazi era experimentation” in which doctors “suck the brain matter out of a living, viable baby for use in medical experiments”. The incorrect impression given was that this is a procedure requested by researchers eager to study brain structure. They arbitrarily select an about-to-be-born fetus at random from the nearest delivery room, and kill it in order to get more research material. The program generated a flood of telephone calls which paralyzed Federal government switchboards. To our knowledge, Dr. Dobson has never apologized for his misleading statements or corrected his misrepresentation of the facts.

Ron Fitzsimmons, executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers testified in government hearings that only about 450 D&Xs were performed annually in the United States. Later, on ABC’s Nightline program, he admitted that he had lied about this figure in order to match the the lies and rhetoric by the other side in the debate. He now estimates that 3 to 4 thousand is a more accurate value.

Senator Rick Santorum, one of the leaders in the Senate of a D&X ban, said that the procedure is a gruesome form of infanticide. [The term infanticide refers to the killing of a newborn infant; it is not applicable to an unborn fetus during a D&X procedure.] Senator Santorum also said that it is a lie to argue that a D&X is sometimes required to protect a woman from a serious health risk. But if he truly believed that statement, then he would not have objected to President Clinton’s request that an exemption be added to the bill in cases of serious health risks to the woman. After all, if there was no risk of a devastating health problem, then the exemption would never be exercised, and there would be no harm in including it in the bill.

The whole anti-abortion philosophy really is that simple, that brutal, and that anti-life.

Don Imus’ oh-so-cutesy “nappy headed hos” remark wasn’t just about the Rutgers basketball team. It was about all women — and all the fired multimillionaire shock jocks in the world won’t change this: the law of the land gives a fatally-deformed hydrocephalic fetus with a 20” head more right to “life” than it gives the mother of that fetus, who will die trying to deliver it because NO pelvis has an opening that large.
