Subject: No such
thing as PBA
Bartcop,
Despite what right-wingers
would have us believe, PBA's ("Partial Birth Abortions")
are not a common procedure. In fact, there is actually no such
thing as a PBA.
The actual procedure is called "Intact D&E" (Dilation and
Extraction(also called "D&X"),
there is no "birth" involved).
This is usually only performed when the baby is already dead
(ie: stillborn) and must
be removed lest it sit there and rot (which could endanger the
health of the mother.
Where did the term "PBA"
come from, you might ask?
Well.. it's real simple.. back in 1994 when the GOP (Greedy Oil
Patriarchs) realized
what an ideologically bankrupt bunch of whores they where, they
went in search of
campaign funding, but finding no readily-availble boogeymen they
could use to
squeeze money out of their inbred contributors,
(end of the cold war = no more "communist menace" to drum up
the $$$)
the decided to make one up.
Enter the little-known procedure of Intact D&E!
... a few hours of strategy spin session later, they had their
boogeyman:
Evil Satanist Doctors! Who pried precious little babies out of
the womb no less!
Armed with lots of gruesome photos of the poor wittle dead babies
(who were already quite dead before the doctors got there) they
marched out into
the world to shake down congregations of religously insane people
everywhere.
Just the facts,
