What Else Would it Be Called

The Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on partial birth abortion last week. It was basically a no-brainer move from a legal perspective.

Whenever you see the term "partial birth abortion" in print, however, save on this blog or other biased material, you'll usually see it prefaced by "what's called by critics" or some such equivalent.

The baby is literally partially birthed. Would critics of the critics prefer to call it a "vaginal canal vaccuum procedure" or "Fetal Delivery Simulation"? Those are about as nice a term as I can come up with to describe the procedure.
