Quote where I said "science is always right."
As a jest to your idea that science is right ALL THE TIME and science
never contradicts its self.
What's the actual basis to understand that aborting a fertilized blastocyst, or an embryo, or even an early stage fetus is "murder"? Religion. Science would describe the cycles of development, or compare an actual viable, independent and breathing human with something that is not viable, not breathing and does not and cannot have a separate existence on its own. That's why "religion" is brought into the discussion, because that is what informs this insane obsession with when "human" life, i.e. personhood begins.
Choice has well-established legal limits and has for almost 50 years. It is limited by the viability of the fetus. When the fetus can survive on its own, when it actually does become a viable being able of living INDEPENDENTLY of the mother's body, that is the limit on Choice.

You're frothing at the mouth again. Relax. FYI, that's a metaphor.
Now, do you your homework, like I've asked. It's a dictionary. Easy peasy. Sophomore level.
Words have meaning. Believe me or no.

The first reaction to Truth is anger. Or, in this case, frothing at the mouth. (Metaphor alert)
So, what's gotten under your skin? Is a little voice giving you pause? Second thoughts?

Are they still using forceps? If so what has changed, other than making an effort to be a little careful, keep a skull in tact for the purpose of the betterment of mankind? Are you upset that they're not carelessly crushing as many skulls?

No, the videos suggest nothing of the kind.
The videos suggest that the group that made them are zealots with an agenda and a willingness to commit fraud who have been claiming the same things for a decade and in investigation after investigation that is found NOT to be true.
Two of your links don't work;but you will find that the Republicans in Congress dispensed with the early July hints of investigation and moved straight to defunding. EDIT: Well, when the defunding effort failed, they went back to the investigation apparently. I wonder how many of these we'll have to go through before they get the answer they want instead of the truth. Think they'll beat Benghazi at 14?
But, both the defunding bill and the "investigation" are based on videos we know are frauds.
Think about that for a minute outside the partisan BS.

How has the procedure changed? It hasn't. The only thing that has changed is the that perhaps doctors are being a little bit more sensitive in their use of forceps, so as NOT to crush the fetus' head.
That is NOT an alteration of timing, method or procedure.
I swear, you anti-choice nuts get upset when a fetus is crushed and upset when it's not! Make up your mind on how you like your dead fetus!
When are they human beings and can no longer be aborted ? After they leave the birth canal ? 24 weeks?
if a doctor is changing the way he carries out a normal abortion, by being gentler or trying to get a skull out intact..then yes that is classed as changing the normal proceedure which is against the law.

We are not "nuts". Please avoid these derogatory remarks.
Have you ever known a woman who has lost a baby from miscarriage ?
Your tone is very, very ghoulish.

You can dish it out, but you can't take it!

We are NOT talking about forcing abortions on women who want a baby! We are talking about a woman's choice to NOT be pregnant.
Your tone is very, very ghoulish.
Your tone is very, very fascist.
