Abortion

Fact Sheet: Dismemberment Abortion

“Dismemberment abortion” is a layman’s term describing a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure that is intended to end the life of an unborn child via induced abortion, typically performed in the second trimester. During this procedure, the unborn baby and other pregnancy tissue are removed in a piecemeal fashion with suction and instruments. There is substantial evidence that unborn babies are capable of experiencing pain by at least 15 weeks of gestation, and as early as 12 weeks, around the point in pregnancy when dismemberment abortions are first performed. Even abortionists who perform dismemberment abortions have testified to the brutality of tearing apart an unborn baby at this stage of development.

Available data suggests that tens of thousands of abortions on unborn babies who feel pain are performed at 15 weeks or later each year.
