Abortionists Admit Dismemberment Horror
"Another doctor a day earlier had testified that a fetus sometimes does not immediately die after limbs are pulled off."
That's the sole reference we could find to the major piece of blockbuster testimony in searching the wire services today for accounts of the partial-birth abortion trial going on in New York.
Pro-abortion reporters and editors don't like to dwell on reality, doncha know.
Here's some slightly less horrific testimony that the media will relate from U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
"Does the fetus feel pain?" Judge Richard C. Casey on Wednesday asked another abortionist, Dr. Timothy Johnson, a plaintiff in one of three lawsuits challenging the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.
Johnson: "I guess whenever I ..."
Judge Casey: "Simple question, doctor. Does it cross your mind?"
The abortionist said it did not.
Judge Casey: "Never crossed your mind?"
Johnson: "No."
Judge Casey: "So you tell her the arms and legs are pulled off? I mean, that's what I want to know. Do you tell her?"
Johnson: "We tell her the baby, the fetus, is dismembered as part of the procedure, yes."
Casey asked if abortionists admitted to the mother about "sucking the brain out of the skull" of the baby.
Some Settling of Contents May Occur
Johnson: "I don't think we would use those terms. I think we would probably use a term like 'decompression of the skull' or 'reducing the contents of the skull.'"
Judge Casey: "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"
Johnson: "We try to do it in a way that's not offensive or gruesome or overly graphic for patients."
