| On partial-birth...I don't know about you, but I call my doctor when I have a medical question, not a member of Congress:
"The American Medical Association does not encourage use of D&X, but says it should not be banned. The College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says alternatives to D&X usually exist, but that in some circumstances, it may be the best procedure".
Opponents of the ban - who say the term "partial-birth" is an emotive, politically-motivated description - argue that the procedure is rarely performed and that the ban could be extended to cover other forms of abortion.
Many women who opt for "partial-birth" abortions do so because their fetuses have severe or fatal anomalies or because the pregnancy endangers their lives or health.
