RE: What are your thoughts on Intact dilation and extraction(aka Partial Birth Abortion)?
Just make sure it doesn't suffer. From my brief reading there, it looks like it doesn't, at least in general, but just as much care should be taken to ensure the fetus doesn't suffer as to make sure the mother doesn't. Same with the extremely late term abortions (some of which I would call murder, though not of someone who probably fears death or enjoys life yet, which does make a difference in my opinion) in which what genuinely is an actual baby by that point, right up to 90 days in, is poisoned in the womb before being born. They'd better give it anaesthetic first or I call abuse. Bearing in mind they didn't stop doing every kind of major surgery on newborns without any anaesthetic, just a drug to paralyse them, until the late 80s, and most baby boys in North America are still tortured by circumcisions with no or inadequate pain relief both during and after the procedure, because of persisting but proven wrong beliefs that babies feel less pain than anyone else, I have doubts about how careful they are. But provided they're required to prevent it feeling anything, I think people who die before birth are the lucky ones, even when I'm in a good mood.
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
