Lines: 17 Mr. Dubuc says: >The only abortion I have seen (on film) was done on a woman under general >anesthesia and she still screamed when the suction curette was applied. OK, maybe I don't know anything about medical technology... (Could we have some real facts from those out there who do?) But I seriously doubt that a woman under general anesthesia would (could) scream in ANY case. Sounds to me like this so-called abortion film was either deliberately faked, or doctored in such a way as to make the procedure seem as gruesome and terrifying as possible (if you can't get 'em with reason, get 'em with fear...). If this is the case, doesn't it seem counterproductive for an anti-abortionist to corrupt his position with outright and absurd fraud? W. Christensen
