Persuasive Essay On Partial-Birth Abortion
Abortion is a word heard around the world. Do people know what it actually means? Abortion is a procedure to take out the embryo so that it does not turn into a fetus.

Which could result in severe bleeding and the threat of shock or even maternal death. A vacuum tube is then introduced into the hole in the base of the skull and the fetus’ brains are removed through aspiration. The baby is then born dead. No anesthesia is used even though the fetus is capable of feeling pain because studies have shown that the ability to feel pain begins early in the second trimester. This procedure is performed usually between 20 and 24 weeks which is the second trimester. People who perform D&X have said that the procedure was rarely performed and only used in extreme cases. That doesn’t sound believable at all. One facility admitted to performing 1,500 these procedures which were done to healthy mothers with normal fetuses. Now, that sounds more believable,
