Partial Birth Abortion Ban Just a Distraction
A ruling was made yesterday on an appeal to overturn Virginia’s ban on partial-birth abortion again. Evidently, because the doctor performing a legal abortion might be held accountable for accidentally performing a partial-birth abortion, this was enough to sway two out of three judges to overturn the VA partial-birth abortion ban.
At first I found this very disturbing, especially after hearing of the California Supreme Court decision to overturn a traditional marriage proposition last week. But in researching the Federal Ban on Partial-Birth Abortion, I came across Generation Xpose and started questioning the real benefits of the PBA Ban.
Dani Kekoa, the author of Generation Xpose believes that the PBA ban does nothing to prevent abortions, and the more I read on her blog, the more I’m inclined to agree with her.
All this ban does is restrict one method of abortion, it does nothing to restrict abortions from happening. Yes, it’s particularly cruel because we actually see a living baby being born only to end up dead before the delivery is complete. And I am certainly in favor of prohibiting this kind of procedure being done, but I wonder if all the hoopla over the signing of the Federal Ban was just a distraction…from getting more work done to actually save lives.
Are we any closer to stomping out abortion in America…really?
Pray, people…pray that God would have mercy on us as a nation. God help us!

How does one “accidentally” crush a fetus’s skull and suck out it’s brain with a vacuum? That is the most idiotic logic I’ve heard thus far in the abortion debate. Carrie, I think you know me well enough to know that I’ve gone from being a NARAL advocate to a strong opponent of abortion. It took me being pregnant and feeling the fluttering inside me to realize that this was not an experiment labelled in cold septic scientific jargon. This was a LIFE!
Personally, the logic is probably if one method of abortion is banned, then why not ban it all together? Then the advocates of abortion would actually have to face that the tiny being inside the mother is not just a messy blob of cells and tissue, but an actual living creature. Ever wonder why NOW wanted to fight legislation regarding fetal homicide?
Here’s a new monkey wrench to throw into the pro-abortion stance. I hope you enjoy the article as much as I did. Just a mass of cells and tissue? Methinks not……….

Thank you Elizabeth, for sharing the link. Wow…I couldn’t help but cry when I read it.
It’s a baby, folks! Like it or not, once conception occurs, it’s a real live baby in there completely dependent on the mom to care for him/her. Please, please, please…let’s stop the slaughtering of these defenseless miracles. They NEED us to fight to protect them.

What the ban did was educate people. That is good. Abortions are down significantly because fewer people want them. Praise God.
What we need is informed consent, parental consent, and a day to think it over. That will do more to lower the number of abortions than anything else until Roe is gone.
