I know this is a touchy subject but I think it's worth posting. There was a time when 'ole W Zip didn't have any strong feelings on abortion, then my wife got pregnant, after I felt my son Aiden kicking in the womb my feelings changed drastically. I certainly don't push my views on anyone as I know how strongly people feel about the subject.
In response to the Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, many abortion providers in Boston and around the country have adopted a defensive tactic. To avoid any chance of partially delivering a live fetus, they are injecting fetuses with lethal drugs before procedures.
The banned method involves partially delivering a live fetus, then intentionally causing its death. Even before it was banned, the procedure was exceedingly rare, accounting for a fraction of 1 percent of all abortions.
If a child would be able to sustain life outside the womb and is intentionally killed by lethal injection, is this not murder?
I think it is....

No matter how you look at it this is MURDER! Life begins at conception! How could any law maker pass a bill allowing doctors to perform late term abortions? How can you justify cutting the back of the childs head open and then suck its brains out? Is this being compasionate?
There are plenty of parents looking to adopt new born babies! Theres no need for this.

Of course it is murder.
And if this Country of ours ceases to exist anymore, it won't be because of an invasion of muslim forces upon our shores or a nuclear attack from Iran or Russia, it will be because:
1. We arrest people for flushing a book down a toilet
2. We arrest civilians who alert us of potential catastrophic danger
and...
3. We allow 7,8, and 9 month old fetuses (children) to be murdered without an arrest.
One last point or question actually. If abortion is not a bad thing, like the people on the Left purport. If this is simply a woman making a choice, then why are the statistics for abortions no longer available to the public in this country? Can you name one other surgical procedure or form of death in this Land, that the Government does not allow statistical reporting?

No doubt this is murder!! It's the new holocaust, and the doctors who are supposed to SAVE lives are killing them in this barbaric way!

I like how you only partially quoted the article to build up your argument.
From the article: "The injections are generally done in abortions after 18 or 20 weeks gestation. (Massachusetts bans virtually all abortions at and beyond the 24th week, except to protect the life or health of the mother.)"
Know how long 18 weeks is? About 4 months. NO fetus can survive outside the womb at that point, not even with extraordinary medical intervention. Even at 24 weeks, its survival WITH medical intervention is extremely unlikely, and that's the point voluntary abortions are cut off. (and needless to say, it's chance of survival without living in an artificial incubator is zero)
So your entire premise is contradicted by the very same article you linked to.

I live in Mass and trust me it is one of the easiest states to get an abortion in. I'll go evev further at 4 months looks like this

Regardless, if a DOCTOR injects a fetus knowing that it will cause death then how isn't that murder? How about you have a baby and after 4 months you've seen a sonogram know that is has legs, arms head, fingers a HEARTBEAT and then I take a baseball bat to the stomach, would you call me a murderer?
YES YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!
