It's not a real term to be honest, the correct term is intact dilation and extraction but partial birth abortion is used by pro-life people to give the impression that the fetus has been born thus making it seem like a person rather than a fetus. It's a late term (20-24 weeks usually) abortion that involves partial removal of the fetus before killing it. I also support partial birth abortion because there is no logical reason not to other than the seemingly reflexive 'Eww its partially sticking out when they kill it' that people seem to have.

 


Well I would argue there is some logical reasoning against it.  Though really all abortions after the 13th week or so.

The 12th-13th week is the week that brainwaves are first recorded.

This seems to be the best "cut off" point for allowable abbortions and a good compromise in the US since while about 70% of people are for Abortion in the US, about 70% of people are for abortion being stricter.

 

Yeah you could easily make that argument, but there are no solid arguments against the procedure itself.
