The process is brutal and culminates in the crushing of the child&#8217;s skull. To ensure the abortion is complete, an abortion worker must piece the child back together like a horrific puzzle. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes this inhumane procedure in the video below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jgw4X7Dw_3k\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nurse-quits-after-witnessing-baby-dismembered-in-de-abortion\/\">Nurse quits after witnessing baby being dismembered in D&amp;E procedure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bill states that &#8220;&#8216;human dismemberment abortion&#8217; means intentionally dismembering a living unborn child and extracting the unborn child one piece at a time from a uterus, with the purpose of causing the death of an unborn child, through use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors, or similar instruments&#8230;.&#8221; It also makes an exception &#8220;in case of a medical emergency.&#8221; This exception is completely arbitrary because not only is abortion never medically necessary, but this particular type of abortion takes two to three days to complete. In an actual emergency, a three-day procedure would not be advisable. An emergency C-section would take just minutes and no one is purposefully killed in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dismemberment abortion, like partial-birth abortion is a brutal procedure which literally rips a living child apart limb from limb,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2019\/04\/10\/north-dakota-governor-sings-bill-banning-dismemberment-abortions-tearing-babies-limb-from-limb\/?fbclid=IwAR1FfXym02Pb1AjtQo1YSv0qxGxB7miyRBGaFwmslSXi-Fh2dvZ8gwPKUAo\">said Ingrid Duran<\/a>, director of State Legislation. &#8220;In Carhart, the Supreme Court said, &#8216;No one would dispute that, for many, D&amp;E is a procedure itself laden with the power to devalue human life.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Similar laws in other states are being held because of lawsuits that have been filed against them.
