"Late-term abortion is not primarily third trimester abortion. Third trimester abortions, from 28 weeks’ gestation to full term, number about 600 a year and are performed for medical emergency reasons. ”Late-term abortions” are primarily SECOND-trimester abortions that take place in the 21st through 27th week gestation lmp of pregnancy, when – on an average basis – more than half of the infants are positively viable (that is, if they were to be born extremely prematurely at that point due to miscarriage, they could and would survive to adulthood), and all of the infants are potentially viable … even at 22 weeks gestation (i.e. the rate of viability at 22 weeks lmp is 20%, one in five). The number of late-term second-trimester abortions in the United States, of potentially and positively viable babies, is over 20,000 per year. Almost ALL of them (over 95%) are aborted – that is, terminated – for elective reasons: They are not medically-necessary abortions.
Late-term second-trimester elective abortions of over 20,000 viable and potentially-viable infants a year are performed by a method known in the medical field as the “classical method”, that is, D&E Dilation and Evacuation, which comprises shredding the limbs and torso of the child inside the womb with a toothed instrument, crushing his or her head, and after extracting a majority of infant fetal parts through her mother’s birth canal, suctioning the rest out and scraping the lining of the uterus. Late-term D&E should properly be called the Dismemberment Abortion method.
Late-term D&E Dismemberment Abortion is a distinctly more painful method of abortion to the child than was the currently-banned D&X Partial Birth Abortion method. D&E Dismemberment Abortion is also more brutal, primitive and ghastly in its medical execution procedure (quite unbelievably so) than was the horrific D&X Partial Birth Abortion method. D&X was often labelled infanticide (famously so by the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan), and is alluded to in similar direct language in the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. D&E Dismemberment Abortion is equally comparable to D&X Partial Birth Abortion in terms of the gestation age of the infants killed and in its callous brutality, and it merits being equally designated as raw infanticide.
