Pennsylvania lawmakers are pushing for<\/a> legislation that would ban all elective abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and ban the dismemberment abortion method earlier in pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Introduced in the state House on Friday, HB 1948 would prohibit abortions done at or past 20 weeks, as well as the second-trimester dilation & evacuation procedure, known as dismemberment abortion. The procedure is labeled as such because the abortionist uses forceps to tear the child apart in the womb limb from torso. The only exceptions to those provisions are in cases involving the life of the mother.<\/p>\n
