Partial-birth abortion

Partial-birth abortion is a term used to describe a late-term procedure where a partially delivered fetus is intentionally aborted shortly before birth. Typically, it involves extracting the fetus feet-first, then terminating the pregnancy while part of the fetus remains outside the uterus. This procedure is controversial and is generally performed in cases where the fetus has severe abnormalities or the mother's health is at risk. Legally, it has been restricted in many regions, with debates centered around its ethical implications, fetal viability, and reproductive rights.
