During the trials about the partial birth abortion ban, president of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers Ron Fitzsimmons said this of the pictures (drawings of how the baby is killed in this type of abortion) shown by supporters of the ban:
“They’d be talking, talking, talking, and every few minutes, they’d say, “Mr. Speaker, let me just once again describe this horrific procedure for you.” I swear, I thought the debate occurred every night between five and six p.m., when people were coming home. They did exactly what I would have done – they brought out those pictures. And I was just thinking: who’s going to go out there and defend this?”
