On legislation banning partial birth abortion, which is a technique of abortion where the baby is delivered up to the head and killed partially outside of the woman’s body:
“The elements of this crime are the elements of abortions, namely that the fetus comes out through the vagina and is killed. That’s what an abortion is.”
Catherine Weiss, head of the Reproductive Freedom Project of the American Civil Liberties Union
Melanie Conklin, “Lights out on Abortion,” The Progressive July 1998
There is no doubt that abortion kills a “fetus.” A fetus is merely a human being in an early stage of development.
