and I deeply appreciate that you and others have shared your stories with legislators, but the truth is it's officially called the PBA act. That's the reality of it. I'm keenly aware that there is no such actual procedure. I know what D&X entails. None of that changes the fact that the SC is going to hear the PBA act.. Again, that's the name of the law. When I refer to the furor over the faux procedure, I say "so called partial birth abortion. There's a distinction between a medical procedure that doesn't exist and legislation by Congress that does.

Thank you for the lesson about colonial history. As my grad degree is in history, I'm compelled to suggest that things weren't quite as simple as the scenario you described. They rarely are.

"It is doubtful that legislators have moved beyond their thinking of saving fetuses to understand there will be both a young man and a young woman who will bear the brunt of the consequences."

They don't care. These legislators are incapable of understanding the repercussions of their actions. More to the point; they don't give a shit. All the explaining in the world won't change that.

Respectfully,
