Planned Parenthood<\/a> abortionist Leah Torres\u2019 now infamous tweet this week further reveals the callousness of the abortion<\/a> corporation. Torres,\u00a0who is a Planned Parenthood abortionist<\/a> at its Metro Health Center in Salt Lake City, Utah<\/a>, wrote that “fetuses can’t scream” because she reportedly cuts the cord of the child first “so there’s really no opportunity,” even if the baby’s larynx is developed.<\/p>\n

Torres is also listed as an abortionist for the Rocky Mountain Women\u2019s Health Center<\/a>.\u00a0She has also been a vocal critic of pro-lifers, whether in her ongoing blog or in various media outlets where she is quick to write columns defending her practice of killing preborn babies.<\/p>\n

While her tweet wasn’t clear on which cord she was referring to regarding transecting, either the umbilical cord, the vocal cord, or the spinal cord, the statement is horrific; however, it is not new for Torres. Ensuring a baby isn’t born alive is something Torres has written about in the past, when she also proudly proclaimed her work “euthaniz[ing]” preborn babies. She wrote in 2013<\/a> (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Even in cases of 3rd trimester abortion, the fetus is euthanized<\/strong>. This is not only due to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but it is also humane medicine<\/strong>. It would be very traumatic to the mother, father (if present), and caregivers (physicians, nurses, etc) if during the induction of the abortion the baby were born alive then left to die. How horrific! Despite popular opinion, we are not monsters. We are physicians who seek to minimize the trauma of this difficult decision. In the rare cases of 3rd trimester abortions that are most commonly performed because of severe, lethal fetal anomalies that would not allow the newborn to live for very long (and suffer significantly if\/while it did live), the fetus is euthanized and therefore not born alive<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
