Have you guys ever seen how they kill fetuses? I'm not a pro lifer, I would rather turn a blind eye to people who make that decision, but would never encourage someone to do it. I actually have a very sour outlook on it.
There are a couple of ways to kill a fetus. One of them is using forceps. Doctors use these big metal arms inside the woman to crush the baby. I'm not kidding. They crush the baby into little pieces to make it easier for the woman to get rid of it.
Another method includes using a kind of saline solution. Not sure what it is made out of, but it is used to burn the fetus to death..... from the outside in. It's like throwing a person into a tub of acid. The tub is the stomach, and the acid is what they burn it with.
Lastly, another method is gettting the fetus to pretty much poke it's head out of the mother (using drugs that make the woman have the kid). If the head is out, but not the entire body, it is still considered "unborn". The doctors proceed to drill into the skull. Once they penetrate the cranium, they use a vacuum to suck up the entire brain into a machine.
The worst part about this is that there have been proven studies that fetuses(sp?) feel pain during these methods of abortion. Whether or not the fetus is a person or not REALLY shouldn't matter at all. The fact is, a fetus can feel forceps crushing it. It feels the drill going into the head. But really the worst one has to be the acid. Think of the amount of time it takes to actually kill someone starting from the skin. The pure inefficiency of killing something without targeting any vital organs is plain stupidity IMHO.
I really don't think it would bother me at all if a mother had an abortion early enough for the fetus not to feel it. But since they do, it's the only part that makes me cringe.

Here is an actual list of approved methods used inside the united states and not the third world/antiquated methods he is quoting that come off a pro-life website
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion#Methods_of_inducing_abortion
Chemical and suction are both used within and after the first Trimester (first three months) by then a woman has a clue that she is pregnant in that she hasnt had a period for 3 months. Other methods are used afterwards that are slightly more intrusive but no where near the "head crushing" you described.
The simple fact that birth control in all its forms are a form of empowerment for women. Abortion is never going to be a pretty or easy thing. No one has one and walks away feeling good about themselves but you cannot fault a woman who does it. Is she going to put her life on hold and be a single mother because of a slip up or shack up with the alcoholic jock boyfriend. No its a womans perogative to say "its my body, its my life and ill bring a child into the world how and when I want to".
