TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 1541
prohibiting partial-birth abortions. In addition to
promoting maternal health, such a prohibition will
draw a bright line that clearly distinguishes abor-
tion and infanticide, that preserves the integrity of
the medical profession, and promotes respect for
human life.
‘‘(H) Based upon Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973)
and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833
(1992), a governmental interest in protecting the
life of a child during the delivery process arises by
virtue of the fact that during a partial-birth abor-
tion, labor is induced and the birth process has
begun. This distinction was recognized in Roe when
the Court noted, without comment, that the Texas
parturition statute, which prohibited one from kill-
ing a child ‘in a state of being born and before ac-
tual birth,’ was not under attack. This interest be-
comes compelling as the child emerges from the
maternal body. A child that is completely born is a
full, legal person entitled to constitutional protec-
tions afforded a ‘person’ under the United States
Constitution. Partial-birth abortions involve the
killing of a child that is in the process, in fact mere
inches away from, becoming a ‘person’. Thus, the
government has a heightened interest in protecting
the life of the partially-born child.
‘‘(I) This, too, has not gone unnoticed in the med-
ical community, where a prominent medical asso-
ciation has recognized that partial-birth abortions
are ‘ethically different from other destructive abor-
tion techniques because the fetus, normally twenty
weeks or longer in gestation, is killed outside of the
womb’. According to this medical association, the
‘ ‘‘partial birth’’ gives the fetus an autonomy which
separates it from the righ
