I think it’s a brilliant idea.
This is an ultrasound of an unborn baby at 12 weeks. First trimester baby murders occur during the first 12-14 weeks of life. Methods of first-trimester killings:
- Suction Aspiration: This is the “vacuum” method. The baby is sucked out of the woman’s womb.
- Dilatation and Curettage: Baby is cut to pieces and removed.
- RU 486/Mifeprex: Also called the “abortion pill,” RU 486 blocks production of the hormone progesterone, and the baby starves to death.
- Methotrexate : Another starvation technique.
What’s your opinion of death certificates for dead fetuses? I want to hear what pro-choicers think, too.
Update: Commenter Belle writes:
[I]n NC right now there is big debate going on as to whether Physicians need to be present during the executions of convicted murderers. The state medical society says NO!, that it would violate the physician’s Hippocratic oath. Yet, the same medical society has no problem with their members killing unborn babies. Go figure.
Update II (2/15 @ 7:55 p.m.): These baby-murdering discussions are causing me to do something I don’t like to do publicly: become too angry. Before I end up saying something I’ll regret, I’m closing the post tonight. I’ll re-open it to commenting in the morning.
Update III (2/16): Re-opened.
