Planned Parenthood is the biggest provider of abortions in the United States.\u00a0 The abortion chain committed 323,999 abortions<\/a> in 2014 alone.\u00a0On its website<\/a>, Planned Parenthood advertises and describes the two most common surgical abortion procedures.\u00a0Planned Parenthood tells the public and potential patients the following about an aspiration abortion, which is done before 16 weeks:<\/p>\n

A\u00a0speculum\u00a0will be inserted into your vagina. Your health care provider may inject a numbing medication into or near your\u00a0cervix. \u2026<\/p>\n

Either a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties your uterus. Sometimes, an instrument called a curette is used to remove any remaining tissue that lines the uterus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What could possibly be wrong with an operation that \u201cgently empties your uterus\u201d? The problem is, Planned Parenthood\u2019s euphemisms don\u2019t really tell the story of what\u00a0happens in a first trimester abortion.<\/p>\n

The uterus is indeed emptied in an aspiration abortion, but what it is emptied of<\/em> is a preborn baby. And there is nothing gentle about the effect of the suction on the child. In the video below, you can see former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino illustrate how a first trimester aspiration abortion is done. You can see how this \u201cgentle suction\u201d dismembers a fully formed preborn baby and pulls the child out in pieces.<\/p>\n
