that the procedure was devised to protect the mother, as the typical procedure, dilation and extraction, is dangerous for the mother at that point late in gestation?
so now we have politicians pushing bills that will intervene in how doctors practice medicine, and politicians who support the woman's choice looking for back door attempts by the other side to limit the woman's right of choice, seeing conspiracy in all the bills offered by these politicians against the woman's right.
imo just let doctors practice medicine, and let women control their bodies.

That last line is a completely cop out. Doctors have regulations of all kinds of how they practice medicine and when and how they are allowed to conduct prodecures. And the government places restrictions on all of our bodies. No one is free to do whatever they want with their bodies, to the literal extent.
What does it matter who coined the phrase? Partial birth abortion is a barbaric and unnatural practice, no matter what the justification.
