 House OKs ban on late-term abortion
Abortion rights groups and many doctors assert that the legislation passed Wednesday could affect several procedures that are sometimes necessary to preserve the health and fertility of the woman.
The Supreme Court dealt the anti-abortion movement another serious blow on the issue three years ago, ruling that several similar state bans on that type of abortion were unconstitutional.
Opponents of abortion contend that the late-term form of the procedure typically involves delivering the lower part of the fetus' body, puncturing and collapsing its head while still inside the woman's body and extracting a dead but largely intact fetus.

 Feminist Daily News 9/25/2000: Anti-Abortion Movement Is Anti-Woman, Report Concludes
The article notes that the antiabortion movement is largely made up of conservative Christians, as well as members of the politically influential "Christian Right," and mentions various groups, including Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition, Operation Rescue, and the National Right to Life Committee.

Antiabortion activists have successfully framed the abortion debate, the report confirms, with manipulative language and images, presenting abortion as an issue of morality and often equating it with murder.
