In a recent commentary (Sept. 8), Patricia Chamings, a registered nurse who teaches nursing, tells us that ''right to life'' groups misrepresent the partial birth abortion.
Perhaps the ''right to kill'' groups should enlighten us as to the reality of this procedure. Why not simply televise the procedure in question and let us decide for ourselves. The Learning Channel regularly televises surgical procedures of almost every nature so I'm certain it would agree to show us this routine surgical procedure. Then the extremist ''right to life'' groups would be forced to apologize to the ''right to kill'' groups.
Chamings also tells us that the late term abortions are never performed on healthy mothers carrying healthy babies. If that is true, then why are the ''right to kill'' groups so adamantly opposed to any legislation outlawing late term abortions?
Chamings tells us this rare procedure is ''sometimes'' used to protect the life of the mother. She then quotes the executive director of the American Nurses Association as saying that ''very few'' of these procedures are performed each year and are ''usually'' done to protect the life of the mother. I am intrigued by the words ''sometimes,'' and ''usually.''
How much longer can a society exist where those who term the murder of the innocent unborn, ''a woman's right to choose'' and label those who oppose these millions of murders as extremists?
