LETTER: Joecks obfuscates on abortion debate

In his Sept. 24 column, Review-Journal columnist Victor Joecks shouts that Nevada Democrats support partial-birth abortion, describing it as infanticide. He knows, or surely should know, that this procedure is rarely used — and only in the most severe cases of protecting the life of the mother or when the fetus is non-viable or badly malformed. No one is actively killing newborn babies.
