After a while, even the most hardened doctors would admit it gets to them. For Dr. Anthony Levatino, it happened suddenly. He was in the middle of a dismemberment abortion -- holding the first piece of the baby he'd torn apart -- when he abruptly stopped. "I didn't want to continue," he said. "But I had to, because... if we don't get all of the parts out, the woman will get sick, get an infection, [or] even die." He kept working. But by the end, when he looked at the pile of little body parts he'd removed -- a pile similar to the dozens he'd made before -- something was different.

Conflicting and Confused Worldviews at the Democratic Debate
|
|
|
Last night, seven Democratic presidential candidates gathered in South Carolina for a debate ahead of that state's primary on February 29. Much of today's post-debate coverage has focused on the overall contentiousness of the debate and the repeated attacks leveled at the frontrunner, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Very little attention has been paid to several comments that underscore the conflicting and confused worldviews of some of the major candidates.

"What the heck is that?" Senator Ben Sasse (R-Nebr.) demanded. A CNN reporter, in a desperate bid to tie infanticide to the abortion debate, had coined an interesting phrase: "a fetus that was born." Caroline Kelly was trying to keep to the Democrats' talking points by describing Sasse's bill as a measure that would "require abortion providers to work to 'preserve the life and health' of a fetus that was born following an attempted abortion as they would for a newborn baby." There's just one problem. A fetus that was born is a newborn baby.
