But babies born at 21 weeks or older stand a chance of surviving. Despite this, abortionists abort healthy babies at and beyond the age when they could potentially survive outside the womb \u2014 under the guise of &#8220;women&#8217;s health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Daniel Grossman is an abortionist and abortionist trainer who has <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/meet-facebook-fact-checker-abortionists-live-action\/\">extensive connections<\/a> in the abortion industry. He recently tweeted about an abortion committed in his practice on a viable baby at 22 weeks and five days. He claims the abortion was necessary because the mother had placenta previa in which the placenta is covering the cervix. This may cause the placenta to separate from the uterine wall as the cervix begins to dilate during labor (or an abortion), and puts the mother at risk of hemorrhage and death.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An example from my practice: A patient was pregnant at 22.5 weeks and had prolonged bleeding from a placenta previa.

Dilating the cervix and placing an instrument through it, as is necessary during a D&amp;E abortion, would disrupt the placenta and ultimately lead to hemorrhaging and possibly death for the mother. Using abortion instruments, in this case, could also cause harm to the mother. At 22 weeks gestation, the most common abortion procedure is a D&amp;E abortion, in which the abortionist dilates the cervix and uses abortion instruments to dismember the child, as explained in the video below:<\/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\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While he&#8217;s right that severe pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) at that gestational age could necessitate delivery, a bleeding placenta previa not only would be excessively rare (nearly unheard of) at that gestational age, but also would be a contraindication to any instrumentation through the cervix,&#8221; AAPLOG&#8217;s Dr. Francis explained. &#8220;The safest thing for the mom in that situation would absolutely be a c-section. That is the fastest and safest way to control the bleeding. Also, at 22+5 weeks, there are many centers in the US currently that will attempt resuscitation of that baby (including where I work) if the parents, after counseling, decide that&#8217;s what they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abortion advocates frequently use medical emergencies to justify abortion in the second and third trimesters. But <a href=\"https:\/\/aaplog.org\/what-is-aaplogs-position-on-abortion-to-save-the-life-of-the-mother\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thousands of doctors<\/a> have attested to the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/facebook-fact-check-misrepresented-live-actions-position\/\">abortion is never medically necessary<\/a> to save the health or life of the mother. An emergency c-section takes minutes and is much faster and safer for a pregnant woman facing a medical emergency than undergoing an abortion that takes two to three days to complete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5TmomK2RB2A\" 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>&#8220;This is a total smoke screen, as usual,&#8221; explained Dr. Francis. &#8220;Also, what many pro-abortion advocates fail to acknowledge is that even if abortion is outlawed, physicians will still be able to treat pregnant women to save their lives when their lives are in danger. Interesting how [Grossman] acknowledges that he can&#8217;t guarantee the bleeding placenta previa\u00a0would have put her life in danger, but states it would affect her health &#8212; yet doesn&#8217;t state how. Does his hospital not have blood products available?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is clear the abortion industry wants to convince society that abortion is necessary, even when it isn&#8217;t. Babies and mothers deserve better than doctors who will seek to kill before seeking to heal and save.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a> for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abortion \u2014 the deliberate killing of a child in the womb \u2014 is never medically necessary.\u00a0Doctors can help women overcome a medical emergency by delivering the child, attempting to save both lives, without deliberately killing that child first.
