From the partial-birth abortion ban trials, one conversation that took place under oath.
THE WITNESS: “The instruments are thick enough and heavy enough that you can actually grasp and crush with those instruments as if you were picking up salad…”
THE COURT: “Except here you are crushing the head of a baby.”
THE WITNESS: “Correct.”
Testimony of abortionist Dr. Timothy Johnson, National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 31, 2004.
