Also consider the words of this expert. On April 6, 2004, U.S. District Court (District of Nebraska) Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand gave the following testimony before Judge Richard G. Kopf in the case of Leroy Carhart MD., et. Al. vs. Ashcroft
Q. So, Doctor, do you have an opinion as to whether the partial birth abortion procedure causes pain to the fetus?
A. If the fetus is beyond 20 weeks of gestation, I would assume that there will be pain caused to the fetus. And I believe it will be severe and excruciating pain caused to the fetus.
Q. What do you mean by severe and excruciating pain?
A. You see, the threshold for pain is very low. The fetus is very likely extremely sensitive to pain during the gestation of 20 to 30 weeks. And so the procedure associated with partial birth abortion that I just described would be likely to cause severe pain, right from the time the fetus is being manipulated and being handled to the time the incision is made and the brain or the contents, intracranial contents, are sucked out.
