A doctor who performed late-term abortions said the following about the partial-birth abortion ban:
“Now, it’s like the Stone Age, it’s like a Muslim country here…this is the most backward law, it is not for civilized country. If this was Iran, Iraq, I wouldn’t be surprised. But to pass this law in the United States, what is this government doing?”

Here is a diagram of the partial-birth abortion procedure, in which the baby is delivered up to the head and then killed by crushing the skull and suctioning the brain. This abortionist says that a law against this procedure is not appropriate for civilized country.
