OPINION:
It’s long been considered acceptable to abort a living fetus by dismemberment (a euphemistic term for being drawn and quartered in utero). It would take only one adult criminal sentenced to death by drawing and quartering to open the debate on the cruelty of this punishment, which abortionists describe merely as a medical procedure.
This so-called procedure cannot be considered unconstitutional as a “cruel and unusual” punishment because, while certainly cruel, it is tragically not “unusual.” About 100,000 babies a year die by this barbaric practice, which has been performed millions of times in the United States since Roe v. Wade in 1973. In order to outlaw this barbaric practice, a brave judge needs to impose on a convicted murderer a sentence of being drawn and quartered. Then watch a real dialogue begin on the abortion issue and fetal pain.
