Please be sure to clarify what, exactly, the "partial-birth" abortion ban bans. I have had a lot of conversations over the past week about this, and there seems to be a lot of confusion. Is it a very narrow law banning a specific procedure (intact D&E) or is it vague enough to encompass more?
I would also like to hear the panel discuss the possible impact of Justice Ginsburg's dissent--which I read and was very moved by--on pro-choice legal advocacy.

I'm interested to learn how we can stop the Supreme Court from doing more things like this!

Given the lack of exception for a woman's health in the banning of the intact D&E procedure, I would like to hear some examples of scenarios in which the health of the woman would be at risk and where the best (or only) method would be an intact D&E.

How many "partial-birth" abortion procedures are (or were) done each year in the United States?

how is the "typical" abortion done? how would this procedure turn into a "partial birth" procedure? in other words under what conditions, or "mistakes" made, would a doctor have to bring the fetus out part way, the head or the trunk, before killing it.

do you feel that a "conciensious objector" obgyn culture may develop from this? or are the legal ramifications too severe?

I am pro-life. What does the doctor see and feel when as she does an abortion on a living fetus.

As pro-choice Californians, how do we help other pro-choice advocates in more conservative states?

Which presidential candidate do you think will carry out a pro-choice agenda?

Amy (Everitt), you spoke quickly about the ban passed in North Dakota. Is this considered a "trigger law" and are these really consitutional?

How do we get a new generation of women and men involved in the struggle? More women of color, poor women, women who may feel disenfranchised from the movement?

For Joy O'Donnell: Wouldn't it be great if there was no need for abortions? Isn't more education about contraceptives a good option. Please comment.

What role does terminology play in this decision? How did words hurt the pro-choice movement?
