Your comment reminds me of the trucks that drive around crowded public streets and is plastered with pictures of enormous aborted fetuses. Totally inappropriate.

If you do, you'll refrain from that. I have no problem whatsoever banning people from these conversations if they're not adding anything to the debate. Quit trolling and start commenting.

I didn't think I was the first to think of such a thing - but I had not heard it.

Actually James "Best of the Web Today" Taranto at WSJ/OpinionJournal.com has the same idea. He even calls it "the Roe effect."

And lets face it liberals, it is at a moral message that this bastardly legislation aims. Come on liberals -- now is your chance to build that "value bridge" with the Midwesterners and other red-state weirdos. What is the concern --that fewer abortions will happen. I read Freakonomics last fall and loved it. It argues among other things that the crime rates fall in the 90's was the result of Roe. More abortions, less criminals, less crime. The book does not support abortions as a means of regulating crime - the authors find the idea abhorent.

If a fetus does feel pain, the idea of cutting it to pieces without anesthesia is abhorent. I hope that's something we can all agree on.

I suspect it's a bit later than that, but I'm no expert. A while back, there discussion in the UK as to whether fetuses in late term abortions should get anestesia as a matter of course. This isn't beyond the pale. After 4 months, it wouldn’t suprise me that fetuses could feel pain. I suspect it’s a bit later than that, but I’m no expert.

Why should they have to know that, unlike Pro-choice propaganda tells them, that their children are not militant amorphous blobs attacking their uterus and got there by a troop drop from an invasion force. I mean, reasonable people disagree on abortion, but parental notification laws, fetal pain warnings? Since when do we ignore common sense and factual information on a topic this serious? Only in regards to abortion do certain persons feel that logic and factuality shouldn't enter into the equation. There is nothing special about abortion, it warrants no special protection and is not sacred writ. I say leave it to the states and people will act accordingly, not stuff it down everyone's throat through judicial fiat. On Fetal pain warnings:
