isPermaLink="false">http://www.operationrescue.org/?p=354#comment-261114</guid> <description>One situation changes it all. A friend of mine carried a dead baby for 5 months because she was past the legal time to terminate her pregnancy. The baby had a very rare form of dwarfism that prevented the lung cage from growing and expanding. Therefore, the unborn fetus would be still-born or live for a maximum of 10 days. She was given the option of terminating her pregnancy but once she had made the decision to terminate it was past the legal deadline in Missouri and it was then considered partial birth abortion. I am with you on the terms of partial birth and so was she. She carried the lifeless fetus until she was full-term and gave birth to a still-born. Do you think it would have been wrong of her to terminate the pregnancy before the partial birth limit? Or do you think it&#039;s alright for her to suffer through endless questions of &quot;When are you due?&quot; and &quot;Is it a boy or girl?&quot; when she knows she will never know the joy of having a baby because it is already dead inside of her. Abortion will never be illegal because of situations like that. I do not believe that abortion should be a form of birth control but I do believe that there are extreme situations in which it cannot be frowned upon. And unfortunately, if it is an option for one person they have to make it an option for all persons.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One situation changes it all.

How could any mother do it? It has got to STOP! I mean what will it take? More prayer? More education? More adoption agencies?-OR is it out of our reach to repair this?This is an abomination. What on earth could make someone that is feeling fetal movement allow a cruel murderer to take that baby from her womb?

She might not know any better.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.operationrescue.org/?p=354#comment-7226</guid> <description>Kimberly,Am I reading your post correctly? Are you saying that the horrors are (1) going through the trial, (2) pregnancy, and (3) raising the baby?Does this mean we should [1] help her kill the child, [2] not prosecute the pedophile father, and [3] aid in the cover up so she can pretend her life is good.This only works until he rapes her again. Sometimes the necessary good thing to do can be difficult.Coming forward as a victim of rape is hard. Even more so when it is incest. Going through a trial to prevent the pedophile rapist from having access to other children is excruciating.Giving birth to a little baby is difficult, and can be painful without an epidural. But abortion can be painful, and even sometimes fatal, oh and sorry no epidural.Making the decision to give your baby up for adoption is a tough one. You will wonder &quot;what if?&quot; for the rest of your life. You will also wonder &quot;what if?&quot; if you keep your child.There are no easy answers, but I would not want to live in a world where people felt reporting the rape, and prosecuting the criminal were not worth the horrors of enduring the system.I know what I am talking about having had both my daughters come to me after G-Pa raped them. (This at 8 &amp; 10). It has been horrible, but in talking to them they are both glad we chose to go to the police. Something about enduring a horrible experience becomes better when you reach the end, and find you stood for something good.There is no good in a unplanned dead child, but being a unplanned child myself I personally find life, though difficult, a good choice.Grace and Peace to you Kimberly.

However, 99% of abortions are performed at or before 12 weeks of development.  At this stage, the fetus feels no pain.

Legislation banning this practice I definitely support.  I believe most other pro-choice people would as well.  Mind you, the federal &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;Partial Birth Abortion Ban&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; contained many compontents other than banning partial-birth; including tight restrictions on early-term abortions, and even issues of women&#039;s rights to seek reproductive health care.While it&#039;s only right to protect developed babies from partial-birth abortion....is it right to forbid a 13-year old who was raped by her step-father to terminate her life-shattering pregnancy at 8 weeks of development?We must consider the extremities included in a whollistic ban.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Angie, and all others upset by the photos</p><p>Indeed, the photos are disturbing, and a partial-birth abortion is sick and wrong I believe.
