A kind of late-term abortion, D&X (also know as partial birth
abortion) has been in the news for several years. Many states
have passed legislation banning this procedure because of its
immoral nature. The Congress has also passed legislation to ban
the procedure, all of which have been vetoed by President
Clinton. A description of the procedure and why it is never
medically necessary follows. Warning: the description below is
graphic and upsetting to most people. Do not continue if you are
unwilling to suffer some emotional trauma. Where is the most
dangerous place in the United States? Contrary to what most
people might think, it is not the inner city, or even death row
in many states. The most dangerous place to be in the United
States is in the womb of our nation's women. One out of five
pregnancies is terminated (the fetus is killed) by the mother.1
In other nations, the death toll is even higher. For example,
over 50% of all pregnancies in Russia are terminated through
abortion.1 Proponents of abortion
