“The viable embryo in the uterus IS a human individual, and therefore destroying it is a violation of the sixth commandment.”
Dr. J. Glenn, The Bible and Modern Medicine
WHAT REAL DOCTORS SAY ABOUT PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION:
 "I am a former abortion provider...I, too, resent the intrusion of government into so many aspects of my personal and professional life. However, one of our government's primary responsibilities is protection of her citizens. Purposeful killing of a healthy infant who would be viable outside the womb should be called what it truly is -- INFANTICIDE OR MURDER……
Steven Hammond, M.D. (Tennessee)
“This is medical nonsense. There is nothing gentle about grasping the opening of the womb and thrusting scissors inside to perforate a wiggling head… It is a hideous travesty of medical care, and should rightly be banned in this country. Banning this procedure will in no way compromise the legitimate practice of obstetrics and gynecology.”
Donna Harrison, M.D., Chairman, OB/GYN Department, Lakeland Medical Center, MI
“President Clinton has said this procedure is necessary to prevent 'ripping [the mother] to shreds' and to protect future fertility. Both contentions are, of course, incorrect and probably merit the adjective 'absurd.' ”
Joseph L. DeCook, M.D.
