Language is powerful. I highly encourage everyone to avoid the phrase "partial birth abortion."

There is no such thing.

There are two medical procedures used to terminate a pregnancy, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) or Dilation and Extraction (D&X). A D&X is always a traumatic medical necessity and devastating event in the life of a woman who wants to have a baby. I try not to use absolute statements if at all possible, but this is one where I feel completely confident. No woman ever elects a D&X and no doctor would perform one for the sole purpose of terminating an unwanted pregnancy.

The conversative think tanks that invented the term "partial birth abortion" to inflame passions for the sake of legislating a private medical decision are complicit in the murders of the few women who tragically require this procedure to survive. And in my opinion, the murders of doctors who provide D&C and D&X.

If anyone thinks language doesn't matter, they aren't paying attention. I overcame the objections to voting for Obama of at least five people because they balked at his opposition to the legal ban of the D&X. They thought he "supported partial birth abortion." When I explained the reality of the situation and encouraged them to research it on their own they all came back furious at having been mislead by language.

Edited to correct spelling.

Don't let zealots control our language.

     It's called Partial Birth Abortion because a live and viable baby is forcibly removed from the sac and killed with instruments and needles. I don't have anything else to say other than I am extremely comfortable advocating life for unborn infants and death for convicted murderers.

     I wish one of you DUmmies would sack up and try to defend this, but we all know that not only are you chickenshit, but you're ashamed of the practice of partial birth abortion. Period.

Sorry, DUmmy.  The only way for the conservatives to "frame the discussion" about Tiller is to repeatedly use the words "abortion doctor" and "late-term abortionist".  I'd use the words "baby-killer" too, but that might be a little harsh for the media spin-doctors.

I've been watching news shows off and on all morning.  I haven't heard one word about Tiller's late-life abortion.

It seems to be yesterday's news.  Moving on......

No woman ever elects a D&X partial birth abortionand no doctor would perform one for the sole purpose of terminating an unwanted pregnancy.

The fact is, this is exactly what Killer Tiller did for a living.

I just noticed the bouncy at the end of the OP:

0Bama  does support letting a born alive infant die, which is negligent homicide at the least.

Yeah, Ralph, I noticed the bouncy, too.  Lame. 

Then, Pacifist says:

Don't let zealots control our language.

after he told everyone to stop saying "partial birth abortion."

Actually, Tiller's site explained that he would use an injection to cause the baby to die "peacefully" before birth.  The injection was Digoxin, which causes the heart muscle to contract.  An overdose, injected into the heart, causes the muscle to contract violently enough to rip it apart.  Then Tiller would induce labor to deliver the dead baby.  (Thereby, of course, proving the BIRTHING the baby wasn't the problem, the problem was birthing a LIVE baby.)

I cannot condone his murder because we have to have a system of laws and justice...that he was an evil man hell bent on his mission aside.

I do think it is important as the fringe left tries to make him a saint we should explain in detail the sickening things he performed.
Not to justify his killing...our legal system needs to deal with that too but to also show what really does happen in one of those "procedures".

The left wants it both ways...to make him a hero and to cover up the truth about what happens in a late term abortion.
That is almost as sickening as the act itself.

Yes it is. It shows how utterly disgusting you and your DUmpmonkiee inmates are.

Amazing the amount of twisting these pieces of shit will go through just to make killing a child sound more "palatable"
