H.R. 1833 would have banned this procedure, but President Clinton vetoed it. However, that bill has bipartisan support, and must be passed so this chilling procedure is ended. She described the procedure to the Pittsburgh Catholic .
Labor is induced in the mother.
The baby's entire body is delivered, except for the head. Scissors are inserted into the vagina and are used to cut a hole in the baby's skull. Then, a tube is inserted into the hole and the brain is sucked out. Finally, the rest of the body and afterbirth are delivered. Opponents of H.R. 1833 claim that this procedure is only used if there would be grave consequences for the mother or baby.
