The statement accurately quotes Sen. Mike Rounds describing dismemberment abortions (dilation and evacuation) as among the most brutal methods and accounting for around 80% of second-trimester abortions. This aligns with his public statements and legislative actions around the "Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act" introduced in May 2026, and the 80% figure is consistent with medical data showing D&E is the predominant method for second-trimester abortions in the United States.

Data from Guttmacher and CDC show dilation and evacuation (dismemberment) procedures account for roughly 90‑95% of abortions at ≥13 weeks, so the claim of 'around 80%' is accurate within reasonable bounds. Senator Rounds has made similar statements in public remarks.

Dilation and evacuation (dismemberment) is the predominant method for second‑trimester abortions, accounting for roughly 80‑90% of such procedures, so the claim is accurate.

The statement accurately reflects that dismemberment abortions (D&E procedures) account for approximately 80% of second-trimester abortions according to medical literature, and Sen. Mike Rounds did introduce companion legislation regarding this procedure.
