Partial-birth abortion drama goes on...
The ban got bogged down in the courts within minutes of being passed, of course. The first hitch was a problem with evidence: The ban was partially based upon the conviction that this type of abortion is never medically necessary to preserve the life of the mother. But because abortion clinics have steadfastly refused to release medical records to courts, and have been upheld in this refusal by district courts, there is no way to prove or disprove the veracity of these claims. The second hitch is with 'fetal pain.' The ban was also based upon claims that, *gasp*, babies actually don't like it when they get chopped up and sucked up a vacuum! Which leads to the surreal headline, 'Fetuses feel pain [when killed]!'
