“This bill has been called an abomination, frivolous. Let us quickly examine what a partial-birth abortion is. In a partial-birth abortion, the abortionist pulls a living baby, feet first, out of the womb and into the birth canal as we can see right here, except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix. The abortionist punctures the base of the baby's skull with a surgical instrument, like a long surgical scissor or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trocar. Then he inserts the catheter into the womb and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now dead baby. That is what is occurring in America today. This is happening right now. This vote will stop this from happening. I urge all of us to pass this bill.”
