Other Info
Abortionist William H. Knorr was an early practitioner of partial-birth abortion – a controversial technique in which a late-term fetus is delivered alive, except for the calvarium (head), which is too large to pass through the cervix. To complete the procedure, the skull of the live fetus is then pierced, suctioned, and crushed, allowing the abortion provider to remove the now-deceased fetus from the uterus. Knorr testified that he used the partial-birth technique in many of his late-term abortions. Knorr ran a high-volume abortion business, working at multiple clinics in New York, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. He testified in 2003 that he performed five or six thousand abortions that year alone. Knorr was a lead plaintiff in multiple lawsuits challenging partial-birth abortion bans. He is now deceased.
