"Ron Fitzsimmons, the executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, said he intentionally misled in previous remarks about the procedure, called intact dilation and evacuation by those who believe it should remain legal and 'partial-birth abortion' by those who believe it should be outlawed, because he feared that the truth would damage the cause of abortion rights.
In the vast majority of cases, the procedure is performed on a healthy mother with a healthy fetus that is 20 weeks or more along, Mr. Fitzsimmons said. 'The abortion-rights folks know it, the anti-abortion folks know it, and so, probably does everyone else.'"
"The dominant hand (right hand for a right-handed person) grabs an imaginary object from the horizontal, downturned, non-dominant '5' hand and then is thrown down and open."
Basically, act as though you're plucking something from its environment and then pretend to throw it away. (Try adding a "splat" at the end for effect.)
It won't prevent one death, you understand, but it will prevent partial birth abortion, and a lethal injection is better than having your brains sucked out. So I suppose it's some sort of triumph.
Reminder to those who feel the ruling threatens a woman's health: Partial birth abortion has been deemed (by doctors) never medically necessary. Inductions or C-sections can be initiated, and the baby is so far along that there is a chance of survival at this point, i.e., no one has to die for Mom's health to be spared.
Could it be that certain people are angry because partial birth abortion really isn't about saving a mother's life...but about the right of a woman to kill her child any way she sees fit...as long as some portion of the child's body remains inside her own, therefore ensuring that "sweet" classification of a living human child as a non-person with all the legal protection of a wart?

Yeah, moms like me should just "get over" the violent deaths of children.
Or perhaps, Rudy should just "get over" the presidency.
