Among claims asserted in one senator's article are that the measure would allow for “the dismemberment of fully conscious children.” Another senator's entry repeats without context a decades-old narrative that high rates of abortion among Black women are driven by an “evil” and “predatory” abortion industry.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, an abortion-rights research group that conducts surveys of the nation's abortion doctors, about 15,000 abortions were performed in the year 2000 on women 20 weeks or more along in their pregnancies; the vast majority were between the 20th and 24th week. Of those, only about 2,200 D&X abortions were performed, or about 0.2 percent of the 1.3 million abortions believed to be performed that year.
