I am not so sure, after six months the only time such a thing should be preformed is if the mothers life is in danger. Then a decision needs to be made on whose life to save. Otherwise, to me sticking scissors into an almost fully developed babies skull and sucking out the brains is murder. I know people who have gotten this done just because they don't want the baby. I am not sure were they find the legit doctors to do this but it is sickening when it happens, and the mothers life is not on the line. We are not talking about a clump of cells here.

Here's what partial birth abortion is:

Partial Birth Abortion
Is it Really Happening?

Brenda Pratt Shafer, a registered nurse from Dayton, Ohio, assisted Dr. Haskell in a Partial Birth Abortion on a 26-1/2 week (over 6 months) pre-born baby boy. She testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee (on 11/17/95) about what she witnessed. According to nurse Shafer, the baby was alive and moving as the abortionist delivered the baby's body and arms - everything but the head. The doctor kept the baby's head just inside the uterus. The baby's little fingers were clasping and unclasping, his feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors through the back of his head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks he might fall. The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp."

With forceps, the doctor turns the baby around in the womb to be positioned feet first. The baby's legs are pulled out into the birth canal. The baby is alive at this point. .

The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head, which remains inside the birth canal. The baby's hands and feet move.

The abortionist stabs the scissors into the base of the baby's skull. The scissors are spread to enlarge the opening. The suction catheter is then inserted and the brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The head slides out easily.

There's a diffference between outlawing this and outlawing abortion completely.
