Did you read this week that so-called “partial birth abortions” have been banned by the US Supreme Court?
Let’s talk about this a bit. “Partial birth abortion” - sounds grotesque, right? Sounds like pulling a baby half out of the birth canal and slitting its throat or something, right? Or perhaps one might picture a baby [...]
