NEW YORK, April 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Planned Parenthood called for a day of nationwide rallies and demonstrations in protest of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold the federal abortion ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure.
In a press release, Planned Parenthood said it was summoning all pro-abortion advocates to “express outrage” today on the third anniversary of the abortion rally, the 2004 March for Women’s Lives.
"Last Wednesday’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the federal abortion ban in its entirety represents a serious setback for women’s health and safety, and is truly ‘an alarming decision,’ as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her dissent," said Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) President Cecile Richards.
Richards complained that the “decision ... turns back the clock on 30 years of Supreme Court precedent.”
“This is the first time that the Supreme Court has ever upheld a restriction on abortion without a health exception,” she said, adding that “the American people won’t stand for it [abortion restrictions].”
However Planned Parenthood has used the aegis of the Supreme Court to stymie the democratic expression of a majority of the American people, who for years have supported implementing significant restrictions on abortion. There is especially strong public opinion against very late term partial-birth abortion which is overwhelmingly seen as a barbaric infanticide type of abortion.
A March 2006 FoxNews poll showed Americans favored banning partial-birth abortion 61% to 27%. A Gallup Poll in January 2003 showed Americans wanted the practice prohibited except in life threatening cases 70% to 25%. Statistics against the procedure have tended to rise as more Americans have become educated as to what the procedure actually entails and have seen explicit drawings of the procedure.
These people are deranged if they think the slaughter of a child CAPABLE OF LIVING OUTSIDE THE WOMB is a "setback" (unless they mean the culture of death).

Abortion rights groups claim that the partial birth abortion is sometimes the safest procedure for a woman. Dr. Kenneth Killborn, co-chair of Practicing American Physicians for Abortion (PAPA), defended the procedure. “If we were to do the dilation and extraction and pull the fetus out without crushing its skull there’s a chance it might live,” Killborn said. “Even if the woman were not required to take responsibility for the resulting child, she would still be burdened with the knowledge that she was a mother. This could be traumatic and damaging to her health. That’s why we must have a ‘health of the mother’ exception to any proposed limit to the right to an abortion.”

What an appropriate name.
- Dr. Kenneth Killborn (Is that his real name?)
Women who have abortions are often burdened with the knowledge that they have killed their own innocent offspring. How's that for "traumatic and damaging to her health"?
“Even if the woman were not required to take responsibility for the resulting child, she would still be burdened with the knowledge that she was a mother.

So a woman would carry the burden of knowing that she was a mother. What in the sam hill are they talking about? The mere knowledge that a woman knows she is pregnant and will be a mother is traumatic and damaging to her health? Her mental health? Her physical health? What kind of reasoning is this?

Don’t ask me. I have enough trouble following the logic of sane people sometimes. Twisted people at PP are just twisted.
And against barbaric politicans who do not condemn this procedure.
I just posted this link on a different thread. Might be of interest, or of more disturbance..

And the knowledge that she has murdered an innocent child is not traumatic and damaging to her health?
They need to look in the mirror and realize that they themselves were once a fetus(baby).
I suggest a new name for PP, “Premeditated Infanticide”.
Isn't it odd that the very same reason--"health of the mother"--could be used to outlaw abortion? What about the post-abortive women--more than half of them--who suffer psychologically once they realize that they are mothers? once they realize what they did to their baby? How would the good Dr Kill(emallbeforetheyre)born ease that particular burden, I wonder?
It is liberal reasoning.
I wonder if these idiots know that the vast majority of Americans are against partial birth abortion.
That’s what I’m thinking...best if they go ahead and protest this, look what they’re protesting about.

I’m pro-choice, although being a guy it feels silly to say so. But partial birth abortion is murder, plain and simple. And to claim it’s necessary to save the life of the mother is insane.
