the person performing the abortion deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head- first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus;

Is it possible to abort the child during a delivery but before the "entire fetal head" is outside the body of the mother? I honestly don't know, and I'm trying to get a handle on whether this could be a loophole.

Yes, though it appears that at the current state of the abortionsts art, there is considerably more risk to the egg-donor.

I'm not sure but it seems like it would seriously endanger the mother if they did that. The procedure that I've read is most commonly used is what this bans though. It's a first step. I hope the next step wil be the 2nd trimester D&C abortions. I'm pretty sure if they tried the D&C abortions late term, the bone would cause injury to the mother. I read somewhere recently of that happening to one lady who died from the procedure.
