I'm glad that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban was enacted

Partial-Birth Abortion is possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of, and does count as murder and child abuse in my opinion.

The fetus, at 24 weeks can feel pain but would have had to feel itself being killed if it was aborted in this way.

I am pro-choice but I wonder why anyone would choose to subject another lifeform to this treatment.

I realise that this is old news, but I'd like to have my say in the matter

In the human mind anything can be killed if oneself can rationalize it

Pigs can feel pain when you kill them, and are of higher intelligence than a 24-week fetus, but you keep eatin' you bacon.

It's not that I disagree with abortion, I just think that there are more humane ways of doing it.
The baby, at an age where it can be born and survive is basically stabbed in the back of its head and killed.
It sounds like murder to me.
The only way people get away with it is because the baby is not properly born when it's killed

But you have no problem with the cruelty to animals.

This counters my argument how?

I'm not too keen on the treatment animals have to suffer, however, a lot of the time when animals are killed they don't have their heads stabbed and their brains sucked out which is what partial birth abortion is.

Medical boards have ruled otherwise. Care to cite your information?

Agreed. Its not that I dont think abortions should be legal (would I have one? No. But women should be able to), but if they can't make up their mind before 6 months into the pregnancy, then they shouldnt be getting the abortion; by that point, its a child, imo.

However, if they have the abortion before that, much as I may disagree with them, go right ahead. Your choice, your body.

By eight weeks a baby can feel pain, the thalamus has started to function.
As no pain relief is given to the baby and it can feel pain by that point, how is it right to assume that a partially born baby can't feel pain during the abortion?
