Many are against the ban as sometimes procedures where the fetus has already died or won't survive outside the womb (like major organs haven't developed) fall under "partial birth abortions". The term was coined by pro life groups and is not a medical term.

Here are two interesting articles. I used to be adamantly anti late term abortion, and then I learned more about when and why they happen.
