The reality of the matter is that (as if you don't really know it already) that partial birth abortions are so statistically rare because Insurance companies don’t cover late-term abortions unless there is a health of the mother situation or a serious genetic issue.  This includes Medicare.  Out-of-pocket costs run $15,000 and up.  The entire issue of women running to the OB/GYN practitioner or the abortion clinic in their 9th month is pure propaganda put out by the radicals of the religious right/"right to life" activists.  You know, there is enough we can do and say with certainty about abortion and right to life without the radical extremism of folks like yourself who use scare tactics and even outright lies to make their case.  If you do not believe that the Catholic Church - and others - already have a truthful and consistent belief in the dignity of each person from birth to death, and can make our case with that honesty and clarity, then you ignore the work of the Holy Spirit.
