Gary T, I do understand that in terms of the media, there is much sensationalism. They want us to react. It sells. Indeed, it is a matter of perception, which often times can become clouded by any number of circumstances. As I've expressed, my primary concern is to the humane aspects of PBA and if a fetus feels pain during this procedure. I went to the AMA. I trust this association is relatively unbiased. My search criteria was "AMA on abortion". The first web site link offered was from AllPolitics-AMA Recommends Alternatives To PBA. Very profound reading, if you ask me. I even spotted quotes offered from tidalweb.com/life, a Pro Life site. Nonetheless, what I wanted to know is about the suffering issue. I found useful, the number 7 website link, "Abortion Advocates Lie About Anesthesia". For anyone who is interested, scroll down to the section from National Federation Of Abortion, Kathyrn Kolbert, (Counsels Strategy Of Evasion) Paragrah number 2. This information is right from the "horse's mouth". (Not by any means is that intended to be a dirogitory remark.) Anyway, I found what I needed know. Thank you again, Gary T, et al, especially for all the time and energy and the incredible sincerity each person offered. You are all dear souls. m
