Now this Hodari “confession” is lie covering lie; he complains that the partial birth abortion “WAS” so much simpler and safer than the digoxin method when, in fact, the “ban” on it was, in reality, just a how-to primer with a very large loophole encoded into law. The biggest lie is, of course, this imagined imperative of killing and endangering women in crisis (or just selfish rebellion) and their children; the “population crisis” has long been disproven.

But his whine is so typical of the extortion tactics of the left generally, and the abortion cartel in particular, to get what they want. “If you won’t accept artificial birth control, then we’ll huff and we’ll puff and kill babies and women with abortion” (never questioning why innocent babies should not be born, or why the folks who find the planet too crowded don’t just leave themselves, rather than forcing their view on others who haven’t even had the chance to check it out for themselves) “If we can’t do partial birth abortions, then we’ll huff and we’ll puff and we’ll kill you and your kids with digoxin.” “If we can’t murder children legally, then we’ll huff and we’ll puff and women will die by the thousands from illegal, self-induced coathanger abortions”….etc., ad nauseam. The goal? lowering the bar of medical safety/responsibility, to kill as many as possible with impunity. I don’t doubt that digoxin is unsafe for women as well as children; there is yet to be a right way to do a wrong thing, nor a constructive way to do a destructive thing; the core problem is the essence of the act, not the technique. But I have yet to meet a coathanger brandishing proabort who can name for me ONE woman whose death is documented to be the result of a non-chemical self-induced abortion. And if the large numbers they claim died in the few years prior to Roe, this should not pose a problem. You’d think NARAL, especially, would have this sort of information on file…but it was NARAL’s co-founder, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who confessed (after a conversion to pro-life ethics made an honest enough person out of him to do so) that the numbers they claimed died from illegal abortion were deliberately and knowingly exaggerated. That is because most illegal abortions were NOT self-induced. They were done then, as now, in subpar medical offices by the washouts of the medical profession or, in some cases, by people with no medical training or certification. And now, as then, some ignorant, desperate women who cannot afford the abortionists’ fees still try the doityourselfathome thing with coathangers…and some of them still die. Before Roe, incidentally, the self-induced abortion weapon of choice was a darning needle. Not a smart thing to do, and no more or less fraught with danger to both mother and child as digoxin, partial birth, the curette, etc. We know one prolife activist whose rather liberal sister gave herself an abortion, at age 18, with a darning needle. The baby died almost instantly; mom died later…in her seventies.

Cheryl is absolutely right in that society must come to terms with the fundamental issue here; that it is morally wrong to kill an innocent human being. Even a guilty one should be proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt before punishment of any kind is meted out. But now it seems that the only clear-cut capital offense is being unwanted by someone willing to pay the hitman…ironically, this is championed most by people who claim to oppose capital punishment…and, worse, they have co-opted the medical profession, the guardians of human life and health, to do much of the killing and to legitimize the rest of it.

Yes, something is VERY wrong with this picture…

They undoubtedly feel the struggles and death of the child inside of them as the lethal dose is administered, and the labor pains which follow…resulting in a dead infant.

Is it me, or do these late term abortionists (Tiller, Hern, Carhart, Hodari, etc) all LOOK as ugly as the work they do?
