Whole Women’s Health Alliance, a chain of abortion businesses, tweeted that it has been killing more<\/em> babies by dismemberment<\/em> abortion (D&E) \u2014 and used that horrific information to call for more<\/em> abortion.<\/p>\n

On November 14, 2023, Whole Woman’s Health Alliance tweeted<\/a>, “We have seen a 62% increase in second trimester abortions in our Minnesota clinic.” It also claimed, “Reminder: Abortion bans are harmful and cause unnecessary delays to care.”<\/p>\n

Likewise, on November 1, 2023, Whole Woman’s Health Alliance tweeted, “We have seen a 56% increase in second trimester abortions in our Virginia clinic. More abortion seekers are facing delays to care due to managing costs and having farther to travel for their appointments. Abortion bans have been and will continue to cause them.”<\/p>\n

Pro-life laws don’t cause abortions<\/strong><\/p>\n

To blame pro-life laws for an increase in second-trimester D&E dismemberment abortions is disingenuous. Unjust laws allowing<\/em> the dismemberment of preborn human beings are to blame and should not exist to begin with. If Minnesota and Virginia, as well as other states, refused<\/em> to let preborn children be killed and protected<\/em> them as they should, there would be no second-trimester abortions to either boast or complain about. Federal protections for preborn children are the solution, not more<\/em> killing through expanded abortion laws.<\/p>\n

Statistics show that pro-life laws do prevent abortions. As Live Action News has previously reported<\/a>, data from the Society of Family Planning reveals that there were 32,260 fewer abortions in the six months following Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em>, which overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em> in 2022. States with stronger pro-life laws saw a decline in the number of abortions, while less restrictive states saw increases.<\/p>\n

Whole Woman’s Health’s tweets are acts of manipulation, because no one needs to kill their own child (born or preborn), and certainly a law meant to protect a child from death does not cause<\/em> that child to be brutally murdered later on in development. This is warped and illogical thinking. The cause<\/em> of that child’s death is the act of killing itself. No one is forcing<\/em> abortion businesses to kill children, at any stage of gestation.<\/p>\n

Induced abortion \u2014 the direct and intentional killing of a preborn child \u2014 is not medically necessary, and it is certainly not<\/em> health care. Health care does not do this:<\/p>\n

The mangled bodies of these innocent children are the result of the most commonly used second-trimester abortion procedure \u2014 the D&E (dilation and evacuation) abortion, also known as a dismemberment abortion because of how it is carried out. In a D&E abortion, the abortionist dilates the woman’s cervix over a day or two. Then he uses a Sopher clamp to grasp parts of the baby’s body \u2014 the arms and legs \u2014 then tears them off and pulls them out of the womb. He then crushes the baby’s skull. Sometimes the baby comes out in pieces, and sometimes partially whole \u2014 but he or she is always<\/em> violently<\/em> killed<\/em>, as were \u00c1ngel and Holly in the photos above.<\/p>\n
