Anti-abortion groups created an illustration of the procedure, which they labeled partial-birth abortion, and set out to secure state and federal laws banning it.

Anti-abortion leaders have reached to the past—some borrow from old arguments about so-called partial-birth abortion—to stoke disgust and opposition to pill-based abortions.

Anti-abortion opponents made the fight against what they labeled partial-birth abortion the centerpiece of their struggle during the 1990s and early 2000s.

In the opening minutes of a debate during Sherrod Brown’s successful 2006 campaign for Senate, the Republican incumbent attacked him over “partial-birth abortion,” a phrase often weaponized by conservatives at the time to paint Democrats as somewhere between immoral and murderous.

“For many years, in Ohio and in this country, we’ve had a law that said a partial-birth abortion - where the child is partially delivered and then killed and then finally delivered - was illegal in Ohio,” the governor continued.
