I&#8217;ve had 3 pregnancies, once with twins and I&#8217;d never felt that kind of thrashing- ever.

Now she hopes that by sharing Cayden&#8217;s pictures, she can help save other preborn babies from being purposefully killed through abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Babies born as early as 21 weeks have survived and thrived with medical help. Yet, at 24 weeks gestation, abortion is still legal, and abortionists typically use one specific method to kill these viable children: dismemberment. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes a Dilation and Evacuation (D&amp;E) abortion in the video below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jgw4X7Dw_3k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Researchers and doctors know that children at this age feel pain, which is evident by physicians&#8217; use of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/preborn-sense-pain-light-temperature\/\">anesthesia<\/a> on preborn children during prenatal surgery.
