OMG! This goes along with our abortion post - This is horrific! WARNING VERY GRAPHIC

- These are done after 4 or 5 months.

- Most babies are viable.

This is like a breech delivery. The entire infant is delivered except the head. A scissors is jammed into the base of the skull. A tube is inserted into the skull, and the brain is sucked out. The now-dead infant is pulled out

Brenda Pratt Shafer, a registered nurse from Dayton, Ohio, assisted Dr. Haskell in a Partial Birth Abortion on a 26-1/2 week (over 6 months) pre-born baby boy. She testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee (on 11/17/95) about what she witnessed. According to nurse Shafer, the baby was alive and moving as the abortionist “delivered the baby’s body and arms - everything but the head. The doctor kept the baby’s head just inside the uterus. The baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, his feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors through the back of his head, and the baby’s arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks he might fall. The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening and sucked the baby’s brains out. Now the baby was completely limp.

On July 11, 1995, American Medical News (AMA’s official journal) submitted the transcript of a tape-recorded interview with abortionist Dr. Martin Haskell to the House Judiciary Committee in which he admitted: “...the majority of fetuses aborted this way (partial birth abortion) are alive until the end of the procedure.”

When this type of procedure first became public knowledge, those defending it said it was only done a few hundred times a year. Then Ron Fitzsimmons, the executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers admitted on ABC’s “Nightline” (11/95) that he had lied when he asserted the procedure was used rarely and only on women whose lives were in danger. The reality is, this gruesome method of killing partially born babies is done many thousands of times a year. Abortionist, Dr. McMahon, admitted in 1995 to performing over 2000 partial birth abortions.

Dr. Haskell said in a tape recorded interview with the AMA’s American Medical News: “...and I’ll be quite frank: most of my abortions are elective (not medically necessary) in that 20-24 week range ... In my particular case, probably 20% are for genetic reasons. And the other 80% are purely elective.”

In other words, even those partial birth abortions that are done for the “health of the mother” or because of a “defective fetus” are often performed for minor, easily correctable conditions. Dr. C. Everett Coop, former U.S. Surgeon General, stated, “... in no way can I twist my mind to see that the late-term abortion as described is a medical necessity for the mother. It certainly can’t be a necessity for the baby.”

While most babies are in their 20th to 24th week when aborted in this manner, babies are aborted as late as the ninth month. This was admitted to by abortionist Dr. McMahon who, in 1995, submitted to the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee a graph and explanation that showed he aborted healthy babies even in the third trimester.

"As disturbing as this sounds, these are the facts. In this country medical doctors are partially delivering babies and then killing them. These babies are inches from being born. Many could be born and placed directly in the loving arms of childless couples for adoption. Instead, they are cruelly killed. Some call this abortion. No matter what you call it, you cannot alter the reality - 4 more inches out of the womb and this act would be called murder.



I belong to another forum and there was a thread in there about partial-borth abortions that someone started and this physically made me sick and I almost cried. YUCK!

Josie83 replied: I am so shocked I hardly know what to say . . . I can't imagine ANYONE thinking that that is a fair way to end a baby's life. that is just horrific. A six-month-old baby can often live outside the womb (okay maybe with help), so in my eyes this is nothing less than murder. that is awful xx

I know I sware this almost made me cry thinking about that poor innocent baby having no clue what is happening to it, no chance at life whatsoever!!!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: OMG that is just an outrage! How can they allow these things to happen! That poor baby! What has society has come too!

Lollie replied: How horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Icouldnt even read the whole post cos just reading the first bit made me cry!!Those poor innocent babies!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I couldn't read it, I've read it before though. I know what partial birth abortion is. I will say no more as I feel so strongly about this and I don't want to hurt anyone.

mummy2girls replied: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I am bawling right now! That is the most horrific thing! All i can think is that baby could of been adopted by a loving couple that so desperatly want a baby!

My2Beauties replied: I know you guys, my jaw literally dropped to the floor and I was trying to hold my composure at work, I had to stop reading it! I just can't believe this is even allowed. I know we had the debate about abortion in the first trimester which under certain circumstances I said I think it's OK, but my God this should be considered murder!

momof2girls replied: I could not finish reading your post
It is really sick and bothers me that it is done.

kit_kats_mom replied: That is horrible. I don't know if it's the fact that the baby is viable at that point or what but I feel it is different from very early abortions done prior to 10 weeks. I've heard that before and if that is/was the only type of abortion that I ever heard of, I would be anti-choice but there are so many other factors involved.

It's not an easy thing to think about.

TeagansMom609 replied: Im pro-choice. But not THAT pro-choice. Thats horrible..

Cay replied: All I can say is Oh my God!

I feel sick to the stomach

ctymom replied: I couldnt read the post. I'm pro-choice but that is horrific beyond any words. I really have a big problem with abortions after the first month. I wouldnt have one at any time but that's my decision and cant/wont judge others. BUT... that is horrible and cruel and cant imagine being done by anyone.

EDITED TO ASK: Can a warning be put in the title of this post? Something like "Graphic post"? I dont think I would have read it if I knew it was going to be that graphic.

Thanks
