You make a good Kerry supporter because you are full of mistruths. The truth about partial birth abortions is the bill on partial-birth abortion did indeed make explicit provision for the health of the mother. The bill said that the law would not apply to any abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself. Senator Kerry is not willing to regard any abortion as wrong, even when it is carried out on babies at the point of birth.
I posted an entire paragraph about this a few days ago, hoping someone would respond, and, no one did. I did read that Kerry said that he didn't agree with partial birth abortions unless the life of the mother was at risk, which would make your last statement not exactly "right on", wouldn't it? (And, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just making sure I understand this) But, then, another thing Kerry said was that the bill stated that it didn't agree with partial-birth abortions and didn't include a clause in the case of risk to the mother, which would make what Kerry said not exactly "right on", right? Ugh, this is all so confusing. Let me know if I'm misreading what you're saying. If the bill does make an exception for partial-birth abortions being performed if the mother's life is at risk, that changes my stand on that front anyway. Do you have something you can post where I can read that bill? That would be cool if you could.
