What is Partial Birth Abortion?

[Penelope]

Among claims asserted in one senator's article are that the measure would allow for “the dismemberment of fully conscious children.” Another senator's entry repeats without context a decades-old narrative that high rates of abortion among Black women are driven by an “evil” and “predatory” abortion industry.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, an abortion-rights research group that conducts surveys of the nation's abortion doctors, about 15,000 abortions were performed in the year 2000 on women 20 weeks or more along in their pregnancies; the vast majority were between the 20th and 24th week. Of those, only about 2,200 D&X abortions were performed, or about 0.2 percent of the 1.3 million abortions believed to be performed that year.

During the debates on banning this procedure (which did happen but are no longer in place) Dr Haskell who was one of the doctors to perform this procedure was asked what was the biggest reason he performed this type of abortions.

He said "Maternal indications". When asked to clarify what he meant by that he noted the "age of the mother". He then went on to explain how a teen girl would hide her pregnancy for as long as she could and by the time it was discovered she was into later terms.

If any booby raises the issue of partial-birth abortion with you, slap them down rhetorically. It is so easy to do.

Soemthing so disgusting that after thousands of abortions Dr Bernard Nathanson still could not stomach that
“I am deeply troubled by my own increasing certainty that I had in fact presided over 60,000 deaths.”

He later produced another film, “Eclipse of Reason,” about a late-term procedure that critics call partial-birth abortion. In the 1980’s he wrote “Aborting America” (Pinnacle Books, 1981), a memoir and social history of the abortion rights movement, and, with Adelle Nathanson, “The Abortion Papers: Inside the Abortion Mentality” (Hawkes Publishing, 1984)

Bernard Nathanson performed tens of thousands of abortions but partial birth abortions were so disgusting and cruel he produced a movie about it and stopped for the rest of his life.

15,000 viable children murdered.
