There are instances, few of course, but there are instances in which women have been told by medical doctors that having birth CAN be deadly. I am no doctor and these instances are long before the partial birth abortion debate even began. None of what you list below are in those circumstances and anyone with half a brain knows this. I am sure there are rare diseases or conditions in which a soon to be mother's life may be in danger if she were to give birth. I AM NOT FOR ABORTION but if my wife were told by a medical doctor NOT A BUTCHER DOCTOR that her life may end if she were to give birth, I am sorry but my wife lives and child goes. I have a child so I know how I would feel FYI.

But in the D&X procedure (partial birth abortion) the mother gives partial birth and the baby's head is held in the birth canal just long enough to suck the brains out and crush the skull. Give a slight pull, or let natural contractions complete the work - as in don't mess with the childbirth already in progress - and the child would be born alive. They only perform the procedure to fit within some grisly legal window allowing the murder of the child at a VERY late stage of pregnancy.

Another method to kill the child at this stage is to perform a partial C Section - enough to allow access to the child - and to clamp the umbilical and let the child suffocate within the mother's womb before it is removed. Again, no excuse but technically legal. No, the C Section method is not performed in an abortuary, but has been reported to have been done in some hospitals (I've read a lot of pro-life books containing testimony from ex-abortionists and nurses.)
