Commenting on a bill to ban partial birth abortions:
“In a standard D&E, the fetus generally doesn’t come out intact. But you might very well bring down a leg at the start of the procedure, and if the definition is a beating heart, potentially any second-trimester abortion could fit this bill.”
Dr. Allan Rosenfield, professor of obstetrics
