Late-term abortionist Dr. William Rashbaum, who died in 2005, was profiled in a Mother Jones article<\/a> in 2003. The reporter, Rebecca Paley, tried to write a sympathetic article, calling the abortionist \u201ca champion of women.\u201d But Rashbaum\u2019s true colors were apparent.<\/p>\n

Rashbaum was an expert in late-term abortions and had committed roughly 21,000 of them by 2003. He trained nearly 100 doctors to do them (as of 2003), and some of these doctors went on to train other abortionists, so he played a big role in increasing the number of late-term abortions.<\/p>\n

He committed late-term abortions by D&E. In a D&E, the baby is dismembered, pulled apart piece by piece with a special tool. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino illustrates this below.<\/p>\n
