I'm am not opposed to some sort of legislation on late-term abortions. In my eyes, third trimester abortions (which are the ones in which this Dialation and Extraction are used) are really pushing things. If a woman has carrried this child for 6 months already, I don't really see the point of not going to term and putting the child up for adoption unless there is something wrong with the baby or the mother. Abortion is not a pretty procedure in any case, whether it's evacuation or extraction, but that fact does not give us jurisdiction over another's body so that we can force her to have a child.
