WOW! I actually hadn't read the dissent yet. I am really, really stunned by how casually she talks about what a pain it is to have to dismember babies instead of killing them after they're born. I just didn't know that people could delude themselves to that extent. Before I converted (this year) I always sheltered myself from these sorts of debates by telling myself that no serious person really thought that "partial birth abortion" was anything other than infanticide. Evidently I was wrong. I just cannot believe an educated person, Supreme Court Justice no less, wrote this:
"Intact D & E [partial birth abortion], plaintiff's experts explained, provides safety benefits over D & E by dismemberment for several reasons:
- First, intact D & E minimizes the number of times a physician must insert instruments through the cervix and into the uterus, and thereby reduces the risk of trauma to, and perforation of, the cervix and uterus -- the most serious complication associated with nonintact D & E....
- Second, removing the fetus intact, instead of dismembering it in utero, decreases the likelihood that fetal tissue will be retained in the uterus, a condition that can cause infection, hemorrhage, and infertility....
- Third, intact D & E diminishes the chances of exposing the patient's tissues to sharp bony fragments sometimes resulting from dismemberment of the fetus....
- Fourth, intact D & E takes less operating time than D & E by dismemberment, and thus may reduce bleeding, the risk of infection, and complications relating to anesthesia...."
