Perhaps your problem is that the term "partial birth abortion" is not the legitmate name of the procedure -- that term was invented by the anti-choice forces to make the procedure sound as bad as possible and stir up people's emotions, and would not be used in the medical/scientific literature. The correct name of the medical procedure is "dilation and extraction" (or "D&X"). Try that and see if it helps with your search.

The correct name is "Pro-life" because we are "For" life. We're not against "choices", just a few choices that stop a beating heart.

And obviously we aren't much of a "Force" as we've been trying to end abortion for 38 years without success. "Forces" sounds so ominous for something with obviously so little power.

Personally, I prefer brain suction abortion. Desciptive and accurate. Also, google Martin Haskell. He was the abortionist who first presented this gruesome procedure at an NAF conference, back in 1992.

Personally, I don't care what it's called as long as it's legally available to women who need it. And I'm aware of Martin Haskell. I simply answered the OP's question. I'm not interested in beating this particular dead horse.

Moderator note:

This is not a debate about pro-life vs. pro-choice, or anti-choice, or anything else. There was a question asked in the original post (OP), let us please stick to that question, not the morality of abortion (any sort).

Fair warning that from here on out, any comments not related to the OP - any attacking, argumentative, or off-topic posts will be deleted.

This can be a topic that brings out emotion, but the OP isn't asking for emotional response. Please think twice and reread your post before hitting 'reply'. Thank you.

A fellow pro-life friend showed me a youtube video demonstrating the partial birth abortion using a doll. Maybe it could use some lingo in the video to help you write your paper or whatever you the teacher is having you do. Just a warning, I cried the whole way through the video.
