The Las Vegas Sun's April 22 editorial approving " partial-birth abortions " is appalling!
What person can think that delivering a baby's body and leaving his head in the mother's womb, then crushing his skull and removing the baby's brain, is a sane procedure - either for the mother or for the aborted child?
Because the baby's head is still in his mother's womb, we have called this barbaric procedure "abortion."
However, if the entire baby passed through the birth canal, then his skull was crushed and brains removed, we would rightly call it murder.
Let us look at the abortion issue in a logical manner and dispel with the rhetoric!
