On the Challenges of Removing Skulls

An abortionist describes how hard it is to remove the baby’s skull when doing an abortion.

“When one does a D&E, technically one of the challenges is to remove the fetal skull, partly because it is relatively large, partly because it is relatively calcified, and it is difficult to grasp on occasion.”

Testimony of abortionist Dr Timothy Johnson, National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 31, 2004.

In a second trimester D & E procedure, the baby is decapitated and dismembered. Generally, the head (with the skull) is the last to be removed. Read a doctor’s description of the D & E procedure here.
