The Northwestern website does not\u00a0 indicate whether additional methods are used to kill the unborn child inside the womb before the dismemberment occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, abortion bans focusing on pain-capable unborn children seem to focus on 20 weeks in the womb (roughly 4.7 months) as one threshold for considering when the unborn child can feel pain. The Northwestern website does not indicate how far into the second trimester (months 4 to 6 of pregnancy) for which Northwestern performs abortions and trains abortionists.<\/p>\n<p><em>A partial screenshot from the Northwestern website is embedded below;
