Reply #5: and of course, as a literate, educated progressive,

[musette_sf]

you do know that:

(a) there is no such thing as "partial birth abortion", the term is made up by forced-birth fetal fetishists.
(b) late-term abortions are performed only in crisis situations where the fetus is severely compromised, and/or there is a medical life or death risk to the living, breathing woman.

so your concern about the chance for severely compromised fetuses to "live outside the womb" would seem to be misguided to other literate, educated progressives.

on edit: this thread should prove to be very fruitful for noticing those who should be added to my Ignore list. already it's yielding results.
