“The July 5, 1993 edition of The American Medical News writes that he [Dr. James MacMahon] does abortions “through all 40 weeks of pregnancy.” In 1995, he informed the House Judiciary Committee in writing that he performed such abortions during the third trimester on babies who had no “flaw” at all for reasons such as the mother’s youth or for “psychiatric” problems. McMahon further admitted that one-fourth of the babies he aborted well into the seventh month had no flaws whatsoever. McMahon said that of the approximately 2000 partial birth abortions he performed, only 9% were performed for “maternal [health] indications” and then the most common reason was “depression.”
