"Dr. Haskell went in with forceps and grabbed the baby's legs and pulled them down into the birth canal. Then he delivered the baby's body and the arms - everything but the head. The doctor kept the baby's head just inside the uterus. The baby's little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors through the back of his head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startled reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening and sucked the baby's brains out."

That is sick. That is murder.

Has anyone noticed that this detail tells us something objective:

This horrible procedure contains all the features of a live birth and is actually more invasive than delivery because of the suctioning (and possibly the forceps)

This means that normal birth at that point holds NO GREATER RISK TO LIFE OR HEALTH OF THE MOTHER than the procedure involved.

Thus there is no threat to a mother's life or heakth that could possibly demand this horrible procedure.

This should be brought up in court.

I've read worse congressional testimony about abortion and experimentation done in the '70's.
