There is one condition that I am aware of where women seek partial birth abortion and that is when the fetus has a form of encephilitus I believe, that swells the fetus's head by minimum 10-100 fold with water....this occurs after the 4th month of gestation...the only procedure that was available to her outside of an intrusive C-section, to deliver her baby
intact, so that she and her husband can mourn the baby and bury the baby, is the procedure labeled as partial birth abortion. This procedure sucks the water along with the brains out of the child thru a seringe or suction, which allows this grossly oversized head to be reduced enough in size for the mother to be to abort out of the birth canal.
Since this procedure was banned, even for the "health" of the mother, this woman now has to choose between having a risky and intrusive c-section where she no longer on future children would be able to deliver naturally, but ALWAYS be forced in to a c-section OR...
OR.....or she has to choose the abortion procedure WHICH IS STILL LEGAL, that goes inside her uterus and cuts her baby up in to pieces, pulling and sucking each limb and body part out piece by piece.
Now, if I were this woman, and my baby suffered from this disease, and I had to abort for these medical reasons, and I were not allowed to have a partial birth abortion under those circumstances, I would be pretty damn pissed.
What is shameful is that the abortion procedure that is still allowed in the later months is much more abusive and horrible a death than the partial birth abortion procedure in my opinion....
