partial-birth abortion

Noun

 * 1)  Intact dilation and extraction.

Usage notes
The 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.
