"One reality kept hidden from the public is that babies often need to be manipulated into the proper position and slowly butchered alive during the harvesting process to ensure that the valuable goods are not damaged. A 1990 article in Archives of Neurology describes abortion techniques that take three to four times longer than normal in order to preserve tissue and obtain the best samples possible. The longer the procedure, the longer the baby is subjected to the torture. Here’s a partial transcript of testimony from a July 1997 civil court case brought by University of Nebraska contract harvester Dr. Leroy Carhart, challenging Nebraska’s prohibition on certain abortion techniques."
Carhart: My normal course would be to dismember the extremity and then go back and try to take the fetus out either foot or skull first, whatever end I can get to first.
Attorney: How do you go about dismembering that extremity?
Carhart: Just traction and rotation, grasping the portion that you can get a hold of, which would be usually somewhere up the shaft of the exposed portion of the fetus, pulling down on it through the os, using the internal os as your counter traction and rotating to dismember the shoulder or the hip or whatever it would be. Sometimes you will get one leg and you can’t get the other leg out.
Attorney: In that situation, when you pull on the arm and remove it, is the fetus still alive?
Carhart: Yes.
Attorney: Do you consider an arm, for example, to be a substantial portion of the fetus?
Carhart: In the way I read it, I think if I lost an arm that would be a substantial loss to me. I think I would have to interpret it that way.
Attorney: And then what happens next after you remove the arm? You then try to remove. “You then try to remove the rest of the fetus?
Carhart: Then I would go back and attempt to either bring the feet down or bring the skull down, or even sometimes you bring the other arm down and remove that also and then get the feet down.
Attorney: At what point is the fetus … does the fetus die during that process?
Carhart: I don’t really know. I know that the fetus is alive during the process most of the time because I can see fetal heartbeat on the ultrasound.
