Abortion advocates are celebrating after a Texas law was struck down — a law banning dilation and evacuation, or D&E, abortions. This abortion<\/a> procedure takes place in the second trimester, on babies who can almost definitively feel pain<\/a>, and it is particularly violent and cruel.\u00a0Nevertheless, the abortion industry celebrated the ruling, including Planned Parenthood<\/a>, a co-plaintiff in the case:<\/p>\n

JUST IN: Texas Courts have struck down Texas\u2019 ban on the safest abortion method for 2nd trimester. This ruling affirms what we know\u2014politics should never interfere with women\u2019s health and safety. https:\/\/t.co\/QJ2P8GzFJ4<\/a><\/p>\n

Whole Woman’s Health, a pro-abortion rights organization and lead plaintiff in the case, also celebrated. “The pattern of incessant and dangerous attacks on women\u2019s healthcare has not stopped,” CEO Amy Miller said in a statement<\/a>. “That is why we are here, and why we are thrilled to prevail.”<\/p>\n

The law in question would have made it mandatory for the preborn baby to be killed before<\/em> the abortionist ripped him or her apart, limb from limb.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest issues surrounding this case, however, has been the way that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry use deceptive words to describe abortion. Miller described it as “healthcare,” which abortion most definitely is not<\/a>. When it comes to actual abortion procedures, the abortion industry is not honest about what they entail, often sugar-coating the procedures to keep women in the dark about what really happens.<\/p>\n

But why?<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood’s website<\/a> describes different abortion procedures.\u00a0First, they describe a suction, or aspiration, abortion — the most common abortion procedure. While it’s technically accurate, the language is considerably softened from the reality of the procedure.\u00a0Here’s how Planned Parenthood describes it:<\/p>\n
