After reading an article in the Washington Post about partial birth abortions, I did a little researsh. Here is what I found, a forced partial birth is induced and then:-
"An incision is made at the base of the skull, scissors are inserted into the incision and opened to widen the opening, and then a suction catheter is inserted into the opening. The brain is suctioned out, which causes the skull to collapse and allows the fetus to pass more easily through the birth canal." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_birth_abortion
I almost puked after I read that, so I searched for the alternative to this late term abortion technique, and discovered that a surgeon "takes the fetus apart" (basically dismembering it while it is still in the uterus). I did not think that was any better. So we either induce a partial birth and then crush the skull or tear the fetus apart in the uterus. How can anyone support such barbaric procedures?
