053: Dismemberment Abortion & Dehydration with Wayne Cockfield

Life Matters interviews Wayne Cockfield of South Carolina.  He is the Vice President for Medical Ethics for the National Right to Life Committee.

Wayne recently testified in the South Carolina legislature regarding the ban of dismemberment abortions.

We recommend if you have very young children you may not want them to hear this as this discussion on the importance of the dismemberment abortion ban does bring the focus onto what actually happens in the abortion.

Be ready for a surprise turn about seven minutes in, because Wayne Cockfield makes this whole debate regarding abortion procedures very, very real and in his own person he humanizes the nature of the abortion dismemberment debate.

Later in the program Wayne talks about his experience losing his legs in Vietnam and how dehydration was actually used to save his life. He knows how difficult and painful dehydration is and how today, medicine is using dehydration not to save lives, but to take them.
