"Yet, Obama says America doesn't torture, condemning practices such as water boarding terrorists who attacked our country killing thousands in an effort to obtain information to prevent further attacks like 9/11. What about the innocent live baby who is brutally murdered only inches from coming into this world? Even in saline injection-induced abortions, fetal monitors have registered severe distress and convulsive movements of the baby as its skin is burned off also ingesting the saline. And "D & C," that just cuts up the baby limb from limb. Obama said "Torture corrodes the character of a country." What does his position say about the future of our country? "
Late Term Abortion…America Doesn’t Torture?
By Carol McDowwell
To The Editor: In President Obama's first 100-days news conference, he restated that he wants to pass the "Freedom of Choice Act." This legislation would take away a state's right to decide its own position on practices such as late-term or partial birth abortions. A nurse who formerly worked for a doctor who practiced all forms of abortions described partial birth abortion as a procedure, which actually takes three visits to complete. On the last visit, the doctor turns the baby so it is face down and entering the birth canal feet first. The baby is then carefully pulled out so just the base of the skull is exposed — any further would risk a live birth. A needle-like instrument is then inserted at the base of the skull and "scrambles" the brain, which is then sucked out making the skull easier to crush. Once this is done, the baby is completely removed and disposed of. The argument has been given that this procedure is used for the safety of the mother's health, but it takes three days, and in any other instance a feet-first delivery or breech birth would be considered very dangerous to the mother and the child. If the doctor is unable to turn the baby, he has to do a "C-section" to save the lives of the mother and child. But, then, this is not about saving the baby.
Obama reassured Planned Parenthood during his campaign of his support for the "Freedom of Choice Act" and reaffirmed this position in his April 30 address. He has appointed a woman as Secretary of Health and Human Services who finally admitted to receiving very generous donations from a late-term abortion doctor in her home state; plus, she is on record as vetoing legislation there that would ban this practice thus affecting her donors livelihood.
Yet, Obama says America doesn't torture, condemning practices such as water boarding terrorists who attacked our country killing thousands in an effort to obtain information to prevent further attacks like 9/11. What about the innocent live baby who is brutally murdered only inches from coming into this world? Even in saline injection-induced abortions, fetal monitors have registered severe distress and convulsive movements of the baby as its skin is burned off also ingesting the saline. And "D & C," that just cuts up the baby limb from limb. Obama said "Torture corrodes the character of a country." What does his position say about the future of our country?
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, believed in eugenics (the enhancement of human populations through the manipulation of genetics). She admired Hitler’s desire to create a "pure race" in spite of his methods of eliminating "undesirables." Her first clinics were set up in black and other minority neighborhoods. These areas are still heavily targeted. Don't believe it? Google a few articles on her philosophy. So what’s next? Could it be legalized euthanasia in order to save Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid costs by unburdening the system of "non-productive people" (or even anyone else Homeland Security defines as a domestic threat)? Perhaps the president should re-examine his definition of torture and realize that American values that do not put a high premium on the value of human life are disgraceful. God help us.

Partial-Birth Abortion
These color illustrations of a partial-birth abortion were prepared on the basis of an instructional paper by an Ohio abortionist, explaining step by step how he performs the procedure. These drawings accurately depict a partial-birth abortion being performed on a baby at 24 weeks gestational age. Most partial-birth abortions are performed in the 20-26 week range (the fifth and sixth months), and some are performed even later. Artwork by Tanja Butler. Letters from medical authorities affirming the accuracy of these drawings are posted below.

About "Dilation and Evacuation" (D&E) Dismemberment Abortions
At the same developmental stage at which most partial-birth abortions are performed -- in the fifth and sixth months -- many unborn children are killed with a different abortion method called "dilation and evacuation" ("D&E"). It also is very brutal and painful to the unborn child, as depicted in a series of illustrations produced by a professional medical art firm.
