Sounds like this judge gets it.

[2banana]

Another doctor a day earlier had testified that a fetus sometimes does not immediately die after limbs are pulled off.

Dear God...

[hellinahandcart]

OMG, how did this one manage to become a judge in this town?

[MEG33]

No,no,no,Judge,We would never be graphic and describe what actually occurs.That wouldn't be nice.It might cause someone to change their mind or heaven forbid,feel bad.

[BallparkBoys]

We tell her the baby, the fetus, is dismembered as part of the procedure, yes,"

Woooops....He's going to have to go back to abortion training school again to learn once and again that is a blob of flesh, NOT A BABY! This guy might have his liberal baby-killer card pulled if he's not careful.....

"We try to do it in a way that's not offensive or gruesome or overly graphic for patients," Johnson said.

There are 2 patients having surgery that day...only 1 will remain.

[MEGoody]

"give couples an intact fetus to grieve over"

There you have it - an admission by both the doctor and the parents that they just killed a child.

These 'parents' don't deserve the right to 'grieve' over the child they just willingly murdered.

"...and give couples an intact fetus to grieve over."

I have no words.

[xrp]

Finally, a judge with big kahunas.

[Puddleglum]

Thank goodness for this judge, getting at the truth underneath all the euphemisms.

[basil]

Doctors say the procedures decrease the frequency of surgical instrument insertions into a woman, eliminate the dangers that parts of a broken fetus might be left behind and give couples an intact fetus to grieve over.

Yeah--let's leave them something to "grieve" over.

My God!

[fml]

The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

As if simply killing is hard to understand.

[Desdemona]

You would think that as newborn boys need anesthesia for circumcision, this should be a no brainer, but no.

And, BTW, doctor, if people need the baby (that's what fetus means) to grieve over...there's no words.

Kudos to this judge.

Never crossed your mind?" the judge asked again. "No," Johnson answered.

Either he lied or he is one of the least sensitive human beings I have known.

[shhrubbery!]

Here's the photo that goes along with the article (am posting so people can get an idea what this disgusting POS looks like):

Dr. LeRoy Carhart, the only doctor in Nebraska known to perform abortions after the 16th week of pregnancy, speaks to reporters in his Bellevue, Neb., office, Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2003. At the request of Dr. Carhart and three other Nebraska doctors, U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf of Lincoln, Neb., issued a temporary restraining order on a federal ban on certain late-term abortions that President Bush signed into law Wednesday March 24, 2004. Carhart called judge Kopf's temporary injunctionagainst the ban on certain types of abortions a victory for American women. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)

It is obvious to anyone whose brain has not been sucked from his skull that the nine-month gestation period is a continuum, a process of gradual development of the baby, from the moment of conception to the moment of birth. The bozos who represent the "abortion on demand crowd" act as if all aspects of what it means to be human, including the propensity to feel pain, take place only when the baby emerges completely from the womb and is separated from the mother's body. That assertion is ridiculous, both from a medical and a common-sense point of view.

The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

Whoa, this judge doesn't talk like a Clinton appointee.

[grellis]

The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

Yes, the judge certainly does understand.
