Thanks to Rudy Giuliani, abortion has raised its ugly head as a key issue in the GOP pre-primary debates.

Giuliani says he personally hates abortion but still comes down hard in favor of allowing women the legal permission to abort their unborn children. Although Mitt Romney once favored a woman's so-called right to have an abortion, he now says he has seen the light and is now opposed to the practice.

What confuses me about this whole debate is the question of why the nature of the abortion beast is never raised. What, for example, happens in the dark recesses of an abortuary?

Does Giuliani know?

Did Romney know when he was supporting abortion?

Do the other pro-abortion candidates, Democrat and Republican, know? It strikes me that this is a pretty important question because it goes right to the heart of the candidates' humanity and their qualification to serve in the Nation's highest office — or any other, for that matter.

In the current debate, the controversy over what is a grisly medical procedure has been transformed into a question of legislative niceties. The issue no longer concerns the abortionist's tools at work on their tiny victims, but rather what laws concerning the legality of abortion are proper and which are not.

Story Continues Below

Giuliani talks vaguely about limiting the so-called woman's right by imposing certain unnamed conditions which would have to be met before the scalpel and the suction tube could go to work on an unborn baby, known in this age of euphemism by the Latin word for baby — fetus.

It allows this politically correct generation to feel better about allowing the unborn to be butchered in the sanctity of the womb by calling the unborn victim anything but what it is: a baby — unborn, but still a baby.

It seems to me that candidates like Giuliani, and all those pro-abortion Democrats lusting after the presidency, should be forced to watch an abortion in progress via ultra-sound imaging — to be filmed watching the whole dreadful thing from beginning to end.

Remember, medical science is in complete agreement that human life begins at the moment of conception. They base this on the fact that at the moment of conception everything — everything — that is required to make a human being is present in that embryo: its sex, it's future personality, its physical and mental attributes, everything that constitutes a living human being is present from the very instant of its creation. It's all there.

Kill it at any stage of its development and you have killed a fellow human being who if allowed to survive will be born, grow up, and live just as we live and breathe. It is what every single one of us once was: a human in progress.

Since most abortions are performed during the 12th week of pregnancy, and if that was the case with the procedure they were required to view, here's what they would see: a recognizable baby able to suck its thumb and form a fist and one with discernable brain waves that enable to perform these functions.

By the 48th day of pregnancy the brain shows the first detectable brain waves. The head is more erect and semicircular canals start to form in the inner ear which will enable a sense of balance and body position. The gonads form. In about a week, the sex of the embryo will be recognizable in the form of testes on a male.

Knee and ankles locations are indicated by indentations. Legs are now at their proper location, proportional to the embryo. The critical period for the lower limbs is about to end. Toes are almost completely notched and toenails begin to appear. Joints grow more distinct.*

To call this being anything less than human is to insult our intelligence. It's a baby — a B A B Y.

What Giuliani and the others would then be forced to watch would be the abortionist employing one of several methods of killing the unborn child. Among them:

Suction Aspiration: The most common method of abortion during the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy. General or local anesthesia is given to the mother and her cervix is dilated, a hollow tube with a knife-edge tip is inserted into the womb and then connected to a vacuum machine by a transparent tube. The vacuum suction, 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner, tears the unborn child into pieces. These are then sucked out through the tube into a bottle and discarded.

Dilation & Curettage (D&C): Similar to the suction method with the added insertion of a loop-shaped knife (curette) which cuts the baby into pieces. These pieces are scraped out through the cervix and thrown in the garbage.

Dilation and Evacuation: Used up to the 18th week of pregnancy, it involves employing a pair of forceps inserted into the womb to grasp part of the fetus. The teeth of the forceps twist and tear the calcified bones of the unborn child. This process is repeated until your future fellow American is totally dismembered and removed.

Saline Abortion: "Salt poisoning," or the saline method, is used after the 16th week of pregnancy. A needle is inserted through the abdominal wall, through the uterine wall, and into the amniotic sac. Some of the amniotic fluid is removed and replaced with a concentrated salt solution. The unborn child breathes in and swallows the salt and is poisoned by it. The mother goes into labor and the dead scalded baby is delivered 24 to 48 hours later.

Prostaglandin Abortion: Prostaglandin are hormones needed for birth. Injecting them into the amniotic sac induces intense labor and the premature birth of a child usually too young to survive. This method is generally used for abortions done during the second half of pregnancy. Saline or urea is sometimes injected first to kill the baby before delivery and soothe the feelings of the mother and the compassionate members of abortionist's staff.

Hysterotomy: Rudy and his fellow viewers should be required to watch this procedure several times. Similar to a Cesarean delivery, except that its purpose is to kill rather than deliver a living child. Chillingly, most all hysterotomy abortion babies are born alive. The abdomen and womb are opened surgically; the baby is lifted out and the umbilical cord is clamped. The baby often struggles before dying.** There have been documented cases of doctors observing their Hyppocratic oath by strangling the baby as it fights to live outside the womb.

This lesson in the inhumanity should be sufficient to allow Rudy and the other women's-right-to-abortion champions to understand fully what it is they support. And sufficient to show America's voters exactly what kind of people they are electing. Let this be said loud and clear: Any human being who could see the horrors performed against defenseless unborn children every day in America's abortuaries and continue to support a woman's right to murder their offspring in their wombs is absolutely unworthy of holding any elective or appointive office. They need to be electorally aborted.
