Judge grills abortionist...

Excerpts from LifeSiteNews.com continuing story:

Judge Richard C. Casey did not let partial-birth abortionist Dr. Timothy Johnson off easy.

Partial-Birth Abortions often necessitate dismemberment of the live baby while the head remains entrenched in the womb. Judge Casey asked Johnson "Does the fetus feel pain?" Johnson replied that he was not sure, that he was not familiar with any research that suggested they do.

A doctor who testified a day earlier said that a baby does not necessarily die after its limbs are torn off. Casey pressed Johnson about whether he ever thought about the pain inflicted on the child during the procedure: "Simple question, doctor," Casey said. "Does it cross your mind?"

Johnson replied in the negative. "Never crossed your mind?" the judge repeated.

"No," Johnson replied.

"So you tell her the arms and legs are pulled off?" he (the judge) asked. "I mean, that's what I want to know. Do you tell her?"

"We tell her the baby, the fetus, is dismembered as part of the procedure, yes," Johnson replied.

Casey also wanted to know if women were informed that the abortion involved "sucking the brain out of the skull."

"I don't think we would use those terms," Johnson replied. "I think we would probably use a term like decompression of the skull or reducing the contents of the skull."

Casey said, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

Johnson said that he would not want to be insensitive, "We try to do it in a way that's not offensive or gruesome or overly graphic for patients."

The responses of the Evil One - the liar and the father of lies, a murderer from the beginning! We have become like gods, knowing good and evil - arbitrarily deciding for ourselves what is good and evil.
