Check out the F'ing AP on "Health" of the Mother - they agree with McShame
OBAMA: Said he would be "completely supportive" of late-term abortion restrictions "as long as there's an exception for the mother's health and life."

THE FACTS: Obama leaves himself a lot of latitude in this answer. A woman's "health" has been so broadly interpreted that it can include conditions, including psychological conditions, that are difficult to diagnose or prove. Anti-abortion advocates say that makes the ban meaningless, because it leaves too much subjective judgment in the equation.

AP is becoming Faux News on these debates!

1. So eaasy reply; LET THE DOCTOR AND THE WOMAN DECIDE.
Rather than say oh gee that's so SUBJECTIVE so NO, NO ONE EVER can have a later-term abortion (and so too many women die who didn't have to), let's say NO late term abortions UNLESS WOMAN AND HER DOCTOR BELIEVE IT'S BEST FOR THE WOMAN'S HEALTH.

OH MAH GAWD that just makes...SENSE!!! EEEEEK!!!
