How can anyone justify the killing of a human being, especially the most vulnerable and powerless among us?  How especially can anyone, in a civilized, let alone supposedly Christian nation, justify a procedure like this (warning: graphic drawings)?  Apparently large numbers of senators, representatives, judges, and activists can.  They may call it a "fetus" but to any rational person it’s a baby.  And the fact that many leaders of the mainline churches can support this abomination known as partial birth abortion is nothing sort of demonic.  Lord, have mercy!
