Anyone who is a parent should probably not read this until the morning.
Anyone who is currently expecting should absolutely not read this until after the baby is born.
Anyone who is not in one of those two categories should read this. Rivka puts it much better than I can at this hour:

It's easy to think that "partial-birth abortion" laws could never affect you, or a woman you care about. The right wing circulates lurid, sensationalized descriptions of the procedure that can give even pro-choice people the squeamish sense that "you have to draw the line somewhere," and that it might be okay to draw it there... or at least, that the real focus should be on preserving access to first trimester abortions.
If that sounds familiar, read this essay - and I guarantee that you will never feel that way again.
