Noun
editpartial-birth abortion (plural partial-birth abortions)
Usage notes
editThe term partial-birth abortion is used primarily in the United States, where the intact dilation and extraction procedure was banned in 2003 by a federal law, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Opinions on the acceptability of the term vary, and it is sometimes perceived as being a political dysphemism.
