A woman decided to have a late-term \u00a0abortion because the baby had spina bifida, and would likely\u00a0be in a wheelchair. Some techniques of late-term abortion require a woman to go through labor, and she wanted to avoid that, so she opted to have her child dismembered in a D&E abortion procedure. In this type of abortion, the abortionist dismembers the baby with forceps, pulling out pieces (arms, legs, etc) and the baby is usually alive and conscious as he or she is torn apart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"de\"<\/p>\n

Clinics usually insert laminaria, which are sticks that slowly open the cervix (neck of the womb) and are left in overnight on the night before the actual abortion.<\/p>\n

When the doctor\u00a0started inserting them, he said something very telling. In the words of the woman<\/a> having the abortion:<\/p>\n

\n

The process was to go in [to the clinic]\u00a0the day before and have my cervix stimulated with\u2026 It\u2019s like a little cigarette kind of, and stimulated the cervix opening. I remember going in there and having the doctor say, \u201cNow once we do this, it\u2019s not reversible, so this is the time you sign this life away.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This doctor knows that he is killing a \u201clife.\u201dRead more abortion doctors and clinic workers talking about how they know abortion kills babies here.<\/a><\/p>\n

For example, abortionist William Harrison said, in his essay<\/a> on why he does abortions:<\/p>\n

\n

No one, neither the patient receiving an abortion, nor the person doing the abortion, is ever, at anytime, unaware that they are ending a life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Incidentally, it is<\/em> possible to have laminaria removed<\/a> after the cervix has already begun to dilate. It was not too late for her to change her mind, although the risk of miscarriage would have been high, it is quite possible that the baby could have been\u00a0saved in that situation, and the woman would not have been endangered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
