Pro-life vids of day: ABQ TV ads focus on pain of late-term abortions
by Hans Johnson
The Susan B. Anthony List has purchased a $50,000 television ad buy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in support of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance, to be voted on next Tuesday, November 19.
The weeklong campaign will feature three ads, two focused on the common sense aspect of passing legislation to ban abortions past the point babies can feel pain, and one on human compassion trumping politics…
[youtube]http://youtu.be/JkJzaQT935I[/youtube] [youtube]http://youtu.be/QJHuHlX6S-A[/youtube]SBA List also has two full-time field staff on the ground in Albuquerque to help coordinate local pro-life groups and activists. Coalition activities include:
- Volunteer phone banking and canvassing to identified pro-life voters
- Running a full-page newspaper ad in the Sunday Journal
- Airing ABQ Voters For Late Term Abortion Ban radio ads on three stations
- Holding a Right to Life of New Mexico press conference with practicing OB/GYN doctor and former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino
- Sending out Protect ABQ Women & Children absentee ballot applications to over 30,000 voters and early voting information to over 40,000 voters
- Sending 14,000 mail pieces to New Mexico Right to Life members in ABQ

Proud of ABQ pro-lifers for the work done so far! Fingers crossed that the legislation passes.
I hear opponents of the ban are spending a lot on advertising. I really hope pro-lifers are able to counteract this. SBA seems to be doing good work on this front, so we will see what happens.
Introducing this law is the antithesis of human compassion trumping politics. And the fetal pain timeline is wrong too.
I am hoping and praying it passes, too!
Its just unfortunate that we have to go back and try to educate people after killing children for 40 years. Many kids were born after it was already the law of the land. Ive met some pretty nasty teenagers in front of those abortion mills. Sounds like their parents schooled them well ( not ) These are good vids. but even if the baby is tiny ripping their limbs off and crushing their skulls…we should always educate on the horror of that too.
At 5 months shouldnt we all say “thats just too far?” Of course. And thats also why I say im pro graphic abortion signs. Because it shows the humanity of a tiny baby too. Many people would stop and see the signs. They would see the little hands and feet. Then we would happily educate.
YAYYYYYY!!!!!! GO SBA!!! These are great ads. Love these guys for their years of hard work to stop the murder of unborn babies.
All the sources I have read inform that fetal pain is reliably estimated at 20 weeks , so that is 5 months. I thought that math is universal but apparently not for some.
Two very powerful ads. The public will not be fooled by pro-aborts.
Serious question: What is at stake for the pro-life/pro-abortion forces embattled in Albuquerque?
I suppose there is a sleazy late-term abortionist who will be forced to move his operation outside of the city limits. But that is such a small change for so much effort. There must be more to it.
I like the idea that the families of any community, of any size, have the authority to regulate the unsavory choices within their community…. similar the way that massage parlors and strip bars (sex trade) are regulated. Or the way that alcohol and tobacco sales (Big Business) are regulated.
Fighting against abortion means facing a powerful aspect of sexual exploitation combined with the political clout of Big Business money. And one of our political parties is deep in Abortion Industry’s pocket.

Liar.
What is at stake for the pro-life/pro-abortion forces embattled in Albuquerque? – womens freedom and reproductive rights.
Tis a pity your 11:58pm response isn’t as accurate as it is concise Del.
We obviously approach the human compassion element from vastly differing perspectives. One of us has the most compassion for women, the other for fetuses. Therefore a more appropriate resonse would have been “I strongly disagree”, because there was no lie in what I stated.
On the second point, the science is clear. It says that fetal pain is not feasible before 24 weeks at the earliest. Not 20. So no lie there either.
The pro-life effort is motivated entirely by compassion for children and their mothers. We do not accept that killing is a suitable solution to life’s problems.
And we don’t know what “science” you are speaking of, suggesting that pain is not possible before 6 months. Personally, I believe that pain is capable as soon as the brain is formed — which is quite a few months before the 5th month.
In any case, you would be against a ban on abortions even after 7 or 8 months. You don’t care if the child is tortured during her murder by dismemberment.
The pro-life effort is motivated entirely by compassion for children and their mothers. – with the fetus taking priority above all else.
We do not accept that killing is a suitable solution to life’s problems. – you are against the death penalty then.
And we don’t know what “science” you are speaking of, suggesting that pain is not possible before 6 months. – your not knowing it doesn’t extinguish the truth of it. It’s not a ‘suggestion’, it’s scientific concensus.
Personally, I believe that pain is capable as soon as the brain is formed — which is quite a few months before the 5th month. – that’s ok, you are free to believe that. It’s wrong though.
In any case, you would be against a ban on abortions even after 7 or 8 months. – any abortion after 7 or 8 months is usually a medical emergency situation where things are expedited to save a woman’s life.
You don’t care if the child is tortured during her murder by dismemberment. – torture? What torture? Murder? What murder?
What kind of medical emergency would necessitate a multi-day abortion procedure in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy? I thought that was what C-sections are for.

============================================
Listen to yourself: That what the Nazis said about the killing of Jews and others whom they did not acknowledge at human beings.
I have been trying to treat you as a human being who is worthy of respect. Sometimes, you even sound like a person.
But no more. I can deny you, just as easily as you deny the children. You and the children are equal in dignity, and you have chosen the level of dignity that you desire.
I shall treat you as non-sentient blob-of-flesh, just as you treat children. Your thoughts are an animal’s thoughts, and your posts are less than the grunting of pigs.
I can deny you, just as easily as you deny the children. – that’s interesting. See what you’ve done there?
You and the children are equal in dignity, and you have chosen the level of dignity that you desire. – make up your mind, is it as you state or as I choose?
I shall treat you as non-sentient blob-of-flesh, just as you treat children. – you appear confused about the difference between gestating fetuses and actual post-birth children.
Your thoughts are an animal’s thoughts, and your posts are less than the grunting of pigs – apparently I’ve exceeded the proverbial room full of monkeys with typewriters and, and, you are capable of reading what I write!!!
Quack.

Oink, Oink.
Misquoting me again eh. Tut tut.
I am the only person left who actually reads your posts and comments to them. Now you are truly wasting your time here.
Be glad that I call you a pig. Pigs are useful animals, adding value to the feed we give them.
When your own blob-of-flesh approaches full development and an Obamacare death panel deems you to be a useless eater, I will say that they finally got one right.
You are no different from the children in their mothers’ wombs. But in your brutal world, your life is only worth however much some stronger power is willing to waste on you.
Now you are truly wasting your time here. – but I have hope for you Del.
Be glad that I call you a pig. Pigs are useful animals, adding value to the feed we give them. – aw shucks, thanks. At least I’m useful :-)
When your own blob-of-flesh approaches full development and an Obamacare death panel deems you to be a useless eater, I will say that they finally got one right. – “full development”? On what level? In which capacity? Why will you say that some ‘death panel’ is right to off me? Surely ‘full development’ would render me more of an asset, not less.
You do realise just how looney tunes statements such as ‘Obamacare death panel’ sounds in the real world don’t you?
You are no different from the children in their mothers’ wombs. – worlds apart. How about applying some of that sciency type stuff. Oh that’s right, you operate on what you ‘believe’ rather than what is fact.
But in your brutal world, your life is only worth however much some stronger power is willing to waste on you. – despite your incendiary claims, I do not support the torture or murder of children. Your accusation is false. Abortion is neither of these things.

BOOM!
Ask a medical specialist Navi, I’m not qualified. Are you?
boom tish!
My bad. I was under the impression that you were going to actually provide support for your claim rather than shift the burden of proof.
Yes, your bad. I didn’t make any claims regarding the scenario you describe. All I actually said was any abortion after 7 or 8 months is usually a medical emergency situation where things are expedited to save a woman’s life. Most of the time they’re not referred to as abortions in such circumstances, ask the santorums (and I think theirs was earlier).
How many multi-day abortion procedures at seven or eight months do you know of? And do you know why that method was chosen?
Okay, everyone. I know I’ve said it a million times. But I really do mean it. Stop feeding the troll.
You are right, JDC.
It doesn’t know what it’s grunting about. And it’s only human if we say it is.
JDC I was just going to post what you said. Thank you. “Stop feeding the troll”, Speaking of pigs I think the Bible called it “casting your pearls before swine”, probably the best analogy.
Being anti-abortion but for the death penalty? Well, there’s a difference between punishing an adult for murder as opposed to punishing an unborn child for nothing.
I personally pay attention to how British “reality” attempts to portray himself in the way he writes. Initially I thought he is a Brit and I actually would not mind for the Brits to have him all to themselves. And I mean it in a very complimentary way…

These are two different discussions:
– Protecting life and justice for those who are most innocent and helpless.
– Preserving the lives of those who are found guilty of violent crimes against innocent persons.
I argue that we, as ardent pro-lifers, should hope to preserve the lives of even the most heinous of mass murderers who profit from their killings — the abortionists themselves. We should be glad that the despicable Gosnell was spared from the justice that he deserved, because it is not necessary to kill Gosnell in order to save the lives of women and children. And we do not accept that killing solves any problem.
How many multi-day abortion procedures at seven or eight months do you know of? And do you know why that method was chosen?
Third-trimester abortion is described here as a “four day outpatient procedure”, and it’s stated that most are done for fetal abnormalities, not medical emergency situations to save a woman’s life.
The method was chosen presumably because it’s unlikely to result in a live birth, and because other procedures that prevent live births are more dangerous for the mother.
Most of the time they’re not referred to as abortions in such circumstances, ask the santorums (and I think theirs was earlier).
Preterm delivery of a viable fetus is not an abortion. If successful (which is almost always the case at seven or eight months) it results in a live baby. An abortion is considered unsuccessful if this happens (which is rare).
