In a saline abortion, a caustic salt solution is injected into a woman\u2019s womb, burning the baby\u2019s skin and eventually killing the child. The woman then goes through labor and \u201cgives birth\u201d to her dead baby. Saline abortions are seldom done today; many babies were born alive from this procedure, and the procedure is also very risky for women.<\/p>\n<p>Today, late-term abortions are frequently done by D&amp;E, in which the baby is dismembered in utero. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes this type of abortion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><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>Jane was the head floor nurse at an Ohio hospital. She and her fellow nurses were forced to assist with late-term abortions, and were so troubled by this that they petitioned the hospital to stop them. They were successful, but before the hospital stopped, Jane personally witnessed two babies born alive during abortions.\u00a0The first occurred in 1975. The article states, &#8220;[Jane] recalls vividly the 16-year-old patient who phoned her mother after an abortion and said in an agonized voice, &#8216;Ma, it&#8217;s out \u2013 but Ma, it&#8217;s alive.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A year later, Jane saw a second baby born alive during abortion. She said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>I was called by the patient&#8217;s roommate. When I got there the baby&#8217;s head was sticking out and its little tongue was wiggling. Everybody felt they couldn&#8217;t do anything until they called the doctor. It was a little thing \u2013 it only lasted about 15 minutes. But it was alive, and we did nothing. And that was wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The experiences left Jane angry. She couldn\u2019t save the two babies, but along with her fellow nurses, she was able to convince the hospital to halt saline abortions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortionist-investigators-hearing-babies-born-alive\/\">Abortionist at undercover investigators\u2019 hearing: \u2018No question\u2019 babies are born alive<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jane described regularly handling the bodies of aborted babies who were the \u201csize and shape of well-formed premature babies.\u201d\u00a0She said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Because of my position, I had to pick them up off the bed and put them in a bottle of formalin [a preservative fluid]. Sometimes you had to have a very large container. Our gynecologists seemed to have a very poor ability to estimate gestational age.
