LINCOLN — A new law banning one type of second-trimester abortion took effect in Nebraska last week, but one major abortion provider said it will not change what he does.

Dr. LeRoy Carhart, medical director of the Clinics for Abortion and Reproductive Excellence in Bellevue and Bethesda, Maryland, said he does not use the procedure prohibited under Legislative Bill 814.

“It’s going to make no difference in what we offer to the populace,” he said. “We will be able to provide the same quality and level of services we have for many years.”

The new law, introduced by State Sen. Suzanne Geist of Lincoln, prohibits an abortion method called dilation and evacuation. The procedure involves dilating a woman’s cervix and removing the fetus in pieces. Abortion opponents call the procedure dismemberment abortion.

1. And the War On Women continues apace.

2. That the measure

won’t change how the clinic functions is proof that it was enacted in bad faith, having nothing to do with protecting the health of women.

3. This procedure is used often to remove dead fetuses

that are beginning to rot inside the mother, to avoid sepsis. It's a bit safer than a dilatation and curettage. We used to perform these at a Catholic hospital where I worked!

These people are crazy. I suspect the docs will just keep doing it anyway. It's safer for mom.

4. Why adopt the Anit-Women's Rights language?

If there has been no birth then the WOMAN is not a "mom". "unborn baby" is an oxymoron but the morons have created it because "fetus" does not suit their purpose.

Language hi-jack advances propaganda.

5. Yes, let's get down to the basics and call a spade a spade.

Thanks for the sanity.
