A recent Huffington Post article, “There’s Nothing Cavalier About Late-Term Abortion,<\/a>” makes a telling point with its title, even though it was written by Laura Akers in support of abortion. Indeed, late-term abortion (or any abortion) shouldn’t be cavalier, especially when it’s a barbaric procedure<\/a> that ends the life of a child so close to birth. In telling her personal story, Akers manages to mislead on the realities of late-term abortion.<\/p>\n

Late-Term Abortion is, in Fact, Barbaric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Akers criticizes those who would talk about the procedure being “barbaric, cruel, and, worst and most ugly of all, cavalier about the lives of their babies.” The procedure of late-term abortion is <\/em>“barbaric [and] cruel,” though. (You can find out how in the video\u00a0here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Akers laments, with original emphasis, that a diagnosis informed her that her baby, if he survived the pregnancy, “would be born with severe<\/em> physical and mental defects, and in excruciating pain. Most of the babies born like this live only a few days.” She also notes that a “handful make it a year with constant medical intervention and unfathomable, constant pain. None survive to adulthood.”<\/p>\n
