if by partial birth, they mean a second trimester abortion. many of those are necessary for the survival of the mother. these are not commonly done only to avoid motherhood.
i am old enough to remember all the deaths to women caused by abortion being illegal. i knew a couple women who were forced to get abortions in mexico, and ended up with severe infection, one losing her uterus because of the chop jobs they did back then. both these women were in medical jeopardy, not simply careless.
there were many such women in the earliest 70's. now we are going to be there again because people are emotionally engaged against what the procedure seems like versus it's absolute medical necessity to the life of the women in many cases.

No, with partial birth, they are talking about third trimester. I'm totally pro-choice when it comes to early abortion. I've volenteered and escorted women through the picket lines when the wacko "operation rescue" people were out there.
