Forgotten violence

Tuesday, February 15, 2005

Dear Editor,

Please allow me to comment on Mike Hendricks column of 2-12 A.D. 2005.

Mike, you forgot to mention a very blatant type of violence that has occurred over 50 million times since 1973, abortion.

Perhaps you, and many others, just don't realize what happens during an abortion. One of the most common types of abortion utilizes a high powered vacuum cleaner to suck out the unborn baby, piece by piece, chunk by chunk. In another type of abortion the "doctors" reach in with forceps and rip off a leg, then another leg, then an arm -- all while the baby may still be alive and fighting to avoid the forceps. Then the abortionist rips off the other arm and reaches in to crush the baby's head so the "doctor" can pull it out.

The most horrific procedure is the partial birth abortion, a late-term procedure in which the abortionist moves the baby into a breach birth position. The tiny body's backside faces his executioner, who pulls the feet out, and then the rest of the body. Everything but the head. Understandably, the baby is writhing in pain at all this. Now the "Doctor" punctures the back of the base of the skull with scissors. He puts a tube into the baby's skull and sucks out the baby's brains with a vacuum.

When the skull is largely empty, the abortionist pulls what's left of the head out of the womb, and the partial-birth abortion is "successful" Mike, you have to admit, that's violent.

A law that says that such violence is legal, creates violence within all areas of this country. As a side note, anyone who approves such a violent act as abortion, and then protests against the war in Iraq, is being hypocritical, to say the least.

What exactly are your views on abortion, Mike? Do you believe that a liberal politician or a liberal judge has the wisdom to define what a baby is, or isn't? The media knows that if any of these things were shown on television, this horror would come to an end. This American HOLOCAUST is eight times larger than the loss of Jewish lives in Nazi Germany.

Sincerely,

George R. Anderson
