"In illustration No. 4," Smith said calmly, "the abortionist takes a pair of scissors and inserts the scissors into the back of the skull and then opens up the scissors to make a gap in the back of the skull in order to insert a catheter to literally...
...with that in mind that Smith trundled his charts onto the Senate floor to describe the abortion method that, though rare, is exceedingly gruesome. Before the doctor kills the fetus, the trunk of the body has already been extracted from the birth canal. "The difference between the partial-birth abortion procedure and homicide is a mere three inches," said Charles Canady, the chairman of a House Judiciary subcommittee that held hearings on the subject.

A partial analysis of claims finds that more than 70,000 women likely would be eligible to get money in the first wave of payments. Women who expected payments of $1.4 million each would receive as little as $70,000, while low-end awards of $105,000 could shrink to about...
