Michigan Legislature Takes Steps to Ban Dismemberment of Babies"In his opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy rightly said that dismemberment abortions are 'laden with the power to devalue human life.' Tearing the arms and legs off children in the later stages of pregnancy is not a good reflection of our Michigan values." -Right to Life of Michigan president Barbara Listing (Lansing, MI)—[LifeSiteNews.com] Republican state legislators in Michigan introduced bills to ban the dismemberment of unborn babies and restrict late-term abortion.

Carhart (2000), which ruled on so-called "partial-birth" abortions, Kennedy wrote, "The doctor, often guided by ultrasound, inserts grasping forceps through the woman's cervix and into the uterus to grab the fetus. The doctor grips a fetal part with the forceps and pulls it back through the cervix and vagina, continuing to pull even after meeting resistance from the cervix.
