SCOTUS has decided to hear a case involving the federal Partial Birth Abortion ban. The main argument in the past has focused on the “no health exception” problem. Here’s a good reason why there’s no health exception in the law.
Why No “Health Exception”? Here’s Why!
If this procedure were done to save the health (or even the life) of the mother, what is the magical thing about leaving the baby’s head in and sucking his brains out — as opposed to delivering him completely and letting him die naturally — that saves the health of the mother? Is it necessary?
No, it’s not. The reason the head is left in there is because this is an abortion, not a medical procedure to save the woman. Death is the goal. The head must stay in otherwise the baby would be born. Health is not the reason these abortions occur–the desire for the baby to be dead is.

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds… to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
