The doctor in this next quote is described performing a second trimester D & E abortion. He is reaching for the unborn baby’s severed head:
“Dr. Johnson handed the suction tube back to Leslie and once again used forceps to probe for the head. I saw the muscles of his right arm tighten and knew what that meant: He had located the head and was crushing it. Harvey used to joke about getting tennis elbow from this technique, and his right arm was actually slightly bigger than his left.”
