In the 1970s, the average pregnant woman\u00a0didn&#8217;t know what her\u00a0preborn child looked like at each stage of development. Then ultrasounds became standard practice, and as that technology improved, so did our ability to see inside the womb. Today, it is glaringly obvious that fetuses are 100% human, 100% alive, and 100% worthy of the same rights as those of us who have had the privilege of being born. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZWfyLJj_D6Y\">video<\/a> of twins inside the womb proves that life begins before birth.<\/p>\n<p>The video, shared by the Twins and Multiple Births Association\u00a0(Tamba), was filmed at 22 weeks gestation back in 2014. Sarah and Dan Maund were at London&#8217;s St. George&#8217;s Hospital for a laser ablation surgery on their identical twins, who had <a href=\"http:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/multiples\/twin-to-twin-transfusion-syndrome\/\">Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome<\/a> (TTTS).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZWfyLJj_D6Y\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>TTTS occurs in approximately 10 to 15 percent of identical twin pregnancies when the blood from the placenta is not distributed equally to each child. Blood goes from one twin, called the &#8220;donor,&#8221; to the other, called the &#8220;recipient,&#8221; and results in the donor twin being smaller and less healthy due to the smaller blood supply. The recipient twin, meanwhile, can also suffer and go into cardiac failure because of his blood supply being too high. If left untreated, 90 percent of babies will die.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_164981\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164981\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-164981 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/twin-to-twin-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot twin to twin surgery video\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/twin-to-twin-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/twin-to-twin-500x272.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/twin-to-twin.jpg 593w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-164981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tiny face of one one of the twins can be seen in this screenshot of the video.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Dr. Basky Thilaganathan performed the surgery and caught ten minutes of the twins on video while he worked. The video shows the humanity of the children \u2013\u00a0from their tiny toes and feet to their fingernails. You can see their little pouty lips, their elbows, and their little hands reaching up to touch their heads.<\/p>\n<p>Children at this age are targeted for abortion for all reasons. Whether it&#8217;s for social, financial, or medical reasons, abortionists have no problem ending a child&#8217;s life at 22 weeks gestation through a Dilation and Evacuation abortion commonly referred to as a D&amp;E. The child is brutally dismembered, as explained in this video by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jgw4X7Dw_3k\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With a one in three chance of survival, the twins,\u00a0named Henry and Sebastian, came through the surgery and were born healthy at 32 weeks gestation.
