Partial-birth abortion diagram*

1 - Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.

2 - The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.

3 - The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.

4 - The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.

5 - The scissors are removed and a suction tube is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

Abortion decisions have spiritual effects in the lives of those who make and those who influence the decisions.

Presbyterians Pro-Life is committed to helping churches establish ministries that address the spiritual and emotional needs of men and women affected by abortion.
