Partial-birth abortion Graphic
In our flyer a graphic appears here. Above is the full version and below we have broken down each frame. It is a drawing of the what happens during a Partial-birth abortion. We hope you can view graphics, but if not please read
the text which appears under each of the 5 drawings.
The header for the 5 panel graphic states:
"The partial-birth abortion procedure is used after 20 weeks (4 1/2 months) of pregnancy -- often to six months and even later. The difference between partial-birth abortion and homicide is a mere three inches" (National Right to Life Committee
handout).
Under drawing number 1:
Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.
Under drawing number 2:
The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
Under drawing number 3
The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body except for the head.
Under drawing number 4:
The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
