Martin Haskell
William Mudd Martin Haskell (b. 1946) is a Dayton physician who, in 1992, first described an abortion procedure clinically known as intact dilation and extraction (D&X) at the National Abortion Federation Risk Management Seminar in Dallas.[1] and often described by critics of the procedure using the controversial term partial-birth abortion.[citation needed]
Haskell routinely uses the D&X method on all his abortion patients 20 through 24 weeks pregnant LMP, with some exceptions, and uses it on some patients 25 through 26 weeks. He does not use the D&X method on patients over 22 weeks with a history of a previous c-section, obesity, twin pregnancies over 21 weeks, or patients over 26 weeks; he refers these patient for induction abortions.[1]
Haskell was born in Birmingham, Alabama.[2] He was a 1971 graduate of the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham.[2]
