Will Porter “always protect” partial birth abortion?
Katie Porter says she will “always protect a woman’s right to choose,” but does that include partial birth abortion?
Does Porter support the partial birth abortion law that was just passed in Illinois?
Polling shows Americans are becoming more pro-life, and in Porter’s moderate district supporting partial birth abortion won’t go over well.
BACKGROUND ON PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS
To Conduct A Partial-Birth Abortion, The Abortionist Must Puncture The Base
Of The Baby’s Skull With A Sharp Surgical Instrument. “Partial-Birth
Abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living
baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except
for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the
cervix (the opening to the womb). The abortionist punctures the base of
the baby’s skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors
or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar. He then inserts a
catheter (tube) into the wound, and removes the baby’s brain with a powerful
suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the
abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby.” (National Right

Into The Wound To Remove The Baby’s Brain. “Partial-Birth Abortion is a
