Partial Birth Abortion
Partial birth abortion is a second- and third-trimester abortion technique
for removing babies that are too large for other methods
to be performed safely on the mother. As with all abortion techniques,
the so-called Communications Decency Act makes it a felony to
tell describe how it's done, regardless of whether you're
doing so to teach an abortionist how to do an abortion or
whether you're a pro-lifer trying to explain how brutal the procedure is.
How To Perform A Partial Birth Abortion
The following material is an extract from
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/1?r104:./temp/~r104iTp7:e170455:
- a description of partial birth abortion in the Congressional Record.
If you were to post the same material on your web page, you'd be a felon;
Members of Congress are allowed to say anything they want,
but I don't know if the law also protects their webmaster....
While maintaining this tension, lifting the cervix and applying traction
to the shoulders with the fingers of
the left hand, the surgeon takes a pair of blunt curved Metzenbaum
scissors in the right hand. He carefully
advances the tip, curved down, along the spine and under his middle
finger until he feels it contact the
base of the skull under the tip of his middle finger.
Reassessing proper placement of the closed scissors tip and safe
elevation of the cervix, the surgeon then
forces the scissors into the base of the skull or into the foramen
magnum. Having safely entered the skull,
he spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening.
The surgeon removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into
this hole and evacuates the skull
contents. With the catheter still in place, he applies traction to the
fetus, removing it completely from the
patient.
