In later abortions, doctors must count to make sure all the body parts of the aborted baby have been removed. Sometimes parts are left behind in the woman's body.  This can cause infections, bleeding, and death.

These quotes testify to the humanity of the unborn child and the tragedy of abortion- to both the mother and her baby.

From the autopsy on Madgalena Rodriguez, who died in an attempted abortion:

"[T]he body of the baby was not complete when autopsied. Both arms had been cut off; the heart, lungs, liver, and other organs had been cut out, the front of the chest and abdomen were missing, the right femur was fractured, the head was intact except for an area on the scalp which had been taken off from the back of the head."

The fetus found during an autopsy on Janet Forster, who died from abortion complications:

"macerated, lacerated and purulent male fetus of about 19 weeks gestation. This fetus measures 14.5 cm. in crown-rump length, shows lacerations in the shoulder area, evisceration of the bowel through an abdominal laceration, and destruction of the skull and facial structures."

From medical records describing what surgeons found inside a 14-year-old victim of a botched abortion:

"fetus, approximately 20 weeks in size, protruding into the abdominal cavity, consisting of a fetal head, torso and one upper extremity."

From court records in an abortion malpractice suit:

"[F]etus was missing both arms and one leg... [the] rib cage ... was exposed and lung tissue protruded from the left side of the chest, ...there was disruption of the skin at the neck and right side of the face... and there was distortion of the facial features of said fetus."

In court records, an abortionist describes what he says he extracted, and a patient describes what she says she expelled at home:

Abortionist: "I clearly identified all the significant parts. I saw the calvarium. I saw the spine. I saw extremities."
Patient: "the entire face, two arms, and a portion of rib cage and back."

From a pathology report on tissue expelled by an abortion patient:

"macerated fetus composed of head, one arm and a portion of thoracic trunk."

From the autopsy on Barbaralee Davis, who died from a botched abortion:

"Two fetal parts, the face and thoracic spinal column, are embedded in a 700 cc. fresh hematoma inside the uterus." "In an attempt to estimate the length of gestation in the absence of the whole fetus, the two parts, namely the face, less the crown, and the thoracic vertebral column without the rump, are laid end to end. Together they measure 9 cm. A conservative estimate of the crown to rump length would be 10 to 11 cm. This will place the gestational age at 16 to 16 1/2 weeks."
