- OK, let's use an example. Many late second-trimester abortions
- are performed because the child is mentally retarded or physically
- handicapped. The purpose of the abortion is to kill the child,
- not to "terminate the pregnancy". Would you oppose restrictions
- which would prevent a handicapped child from being purposely killed
- during an abortion?
