Former abortionist describes horrific dismemberment abortions during Planned Parenthood hearing
October 12, 2015 (LiveActionNews)
-- The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Thursday examining the
abortion procedures and medical ethics at Planned Parenthood, the
nation’s largest abortion chain.
The hearing featured testimonies from former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino, former Planned Parenthood manager, Sue Thayer, and Luana Stoltenberg, who suffers from trauma and infertility as a result of her abortion at Planned Parenthood.
During the hearing, Dr. Levatino shared grisly details about second trimester D&E abortion procedures, which he described as a “blind procedure.”
“With a D&E abortion — dismemberment abortion, if you wish — there is no chance of a live birth at all,” Levatino said.
Levatino describes how the abortionist reaches inside the mother’s womb with a clamp and pulls out parts of the child with force. D&E abortion procedures violently tear a preborn child apart limb from torso, and the child bleeds to death in utero.
“Reach in again, pull again,” he described, “and pull out an arm…Sometimes a little face comes out and stares at you.”
Levatino stated powerfully: “Congratulations! You just performed a D&E abortion. You just affirmed your right to choose.”
Levatino, who committed over 1,200 abortions, showed attendees a video by Live Action, documenting the horror that is America’s abortion industry. The video reveals grisly details about the inhuman late-term abortion practices and procedures by abortionists and staffers.
A complete description of a D&E abortion procedure by Dr. Levatino can be found here, and is as follows:
The hearing called into question
the abortion practices that are ubiquitous across the industry. In the
wake of the undercover videos, multiple investigations into the abortion
giant were launched at the federal and state levels. Five states have
moved to defund Planned Parenthood, and the abortion business’ over $500
million in annual taxpayer funding has been examined with intense
scrutiny.
Lawmakers have called for a redirection of taxpayer funding from the group in light of lawbreaking and scandal, noting that women would be better served if its public funding is placed into health clinics that provide comprehensive services for women and their families.

A complete description of a D&E abortion procedure by Dr. Levatino can be found here, and is as follows:
Imagine for a moment that you are a “pro-choice” obstetrician-gynecologist as I once was. Your patient today is seventeen years old and she is twenty weeks pregnant. At twenty weeks, her uterus is up to her umbilicus and she has been feeling her baby kick for the last two weeks. If you could see her baby, she would be as long as your hand from the top of her head to the bottom of her rump not counting the legs. Your patient is now asleep on an operating room table with her legs in stirrups. Upon entering the room after scrubbing, you dry your hands with a sterile towel and are gowned and gloved by the scrub nurse.The hearing comes in response to undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood profiteering from the sale of baby parts. Ten videos from The Center for Medical Progress expose top-level Planned Parenthood executives discussing their role in the trafficking of fetal body parts, manipulating the abortion procedure in order to obtain intact organs, and performing what appear to be illegal partial-birth abortion procedures.
The first task is remove the laminaria that had earlier been placed in the cervix to dilate it sufficiently to allow the procedure you are about to perform. With that accomplished, direct your attention to the surgical instruments arranged on a small table to your right. The first instrument you reach for is a 14-French suction catheter. It is clear plastic and about nine inches long. It has a bore through the center approximately ¾ of an inch in diameter. Picture yourself introducing the catheter through the cervix and instructing the circulating nurse to turn on the suction machine which is connected through clear plastic tubing to the catheter. What you will see is a pale yellow fluid the looks a lot like urine coming through the catheter into a glass bottle on the suction machine. This amniotic fluid surrounded the baby to protect her.
With suction complete, look for your Sopher clamp. This instrument is about thirteen inches long and made of stainless steel. At one end are located jaws about 2 ½ inches long and about ¾ on an inch wide with rows of sharp ridges or teeth. This instrument is for grasping and crushing tissue. When it gets hold of something, it does not let go.
A second trimester D&E abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp and grasping anything you can. At twenty weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard – really hard. You feel something let go and out pops a fully formed leg about 4 to 5 inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs.
The toughest part of a D&E abortion is extracting the baby’s head. The head of a baby that age is about the size of a plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. You can be pretty sure you have hold of it if the Sopher clamp is spread about as far as your fingers will allow. You will know you have it right when you crush down on the clamp and see a pure white gelatinous material issue from the cervix. That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. If you have a really bad day like I often did, a little face may come out and stare back at you.
Congratulations! You have just successfully performed a Suction D&E abortion. You just affirmed her right to choose. You just made $600 cash in fifteen minutes.

Whoopi slams Kelsey Grammer’s pro-life t-shirt: men can’t talk about abortion
Oct. 12, 2015 (Newsbusters) - Despite its many panelists, ABC’s The View has always pushed one view, and it certainly has never been conservative or pro-life.
So imagine how the ladies at the liberal talk show reacted when actor Kelsey Grammer posted a photo of himself wearing a pro-life shirt to his Instagram account last week. The ensuing confusion over a Hollywood elite having a different view than their own left the panel dumbfounded Monday.
The t-shirt Grammer wore was designed by pro-life advocacy group Abort73, and compared abortion violence to gun violence by asking, “Would it bother us more if we used guns?”
The shirt prompted a discussion on The View where the crew slammed the male actor for getting between a “choice between [a woman] and her God.”
Whoopi Goldberg introduced the segment by highlighting that Grammer was “causing a lot of controversy” by wearing an “anti-abortion shirt.”
“Should abortion be equated with gun violence?” she asked. “I'm not sure I understood the quote.”
While co-host Michelle Collins quipped that Abort 73 sounded “like a sci-fi movie,” co-host Paula Faris offered an explanation of Grammer’s shirt.
“They're saying when children are affected by gun violence -- that gets our attention -- but when children are aborted it doesn't seem like we care,” she explained. “Because they will say that 3,000 children are killed each year by gun violence but over 700,000 children are killed via abortions.”
While the numbers on gun violence and abortion vary depending on the source, Whoopi dismissed Paula’s fatality-count comparison entirely.
“To some people,” Whoopi responded. “That’s some people’s opinions.”
Whoopi continued to rant in favor of “choice” – accompanied by applause.
“But if you're a woman who has found that she needs to go get an abortion, isn't that her choice between her and her God?” she asked. “If you go into a school and you shoot up 5 and 6 and 7-year-olds, children who have lived with you, grown with you, that you have put all your love and attention into, you know, I think there's a big difference.”
Yes, because lack of “love and attention” make an unborn baby’s death A-OK.
Besides that, Grammer is a male, which disqualifies him from speaking out on abortion, according to Whoopi.
“I think most of these folks who make those kind of comparisons,” she pressed, “I need you to be more [sic] women so we can have this conversation because you guys will never have to make this decision. Ever.”
If that wasn’t enough, Michelle took issue next with Grammer’s smile in the picture.
“Can you imagine if Frasier had worn this shirt?” she asked about Grammer’s TV character. “Ruins the show, first of all.”
Whoopi concluded by revealing the unsurprising crew’s view on guns and abortion: “You can’t equate the two.”

Abortion

As you can see in this video of Colmes’ radio show, he is a very sympathetic interviewer. He lobs Derzis softball question after softball question, setting her up to spout the typical pro-abortion rhetoric. For example, Colmes makes sure to maneuver Derzis into saying that regulations requiring clinics to meet basic health standards and hire abortionists with admitting privileges have nothing to do with women’s health – it’s just those nasty, evil anti-choicers trying to take women’s rights away. And, of course, he makes sure to bring up the horrors of self-induced and illegal back alley abortions that were allegedly rampant before Roe v. Wade (even though much of that has been debunked and, in fact, the former medical director of Planned Parenthood wrote in 1960 that the 90% of all illegal abortions were performed by “licensed physicians… in good standing” and that “abortion, whether therapeutic or illegal, is in the main no longer dangerous”).
Yet despite the fact that Colmes handles Derzis with kid gloves, there is one major surprise in the interview. Things get strange when the subject turns to Planned Parenthood.
Derzis is not the only abortion provider to compare abortion to Walmart.
In her 2007 book Safe, Legal and Unavailable? Abortion Politics in the United States Pro-choice author Melody Rose writes:
Faltering, Colmes tries to get the interview back on familiar ground, attempting again to defend Planned Parenthood.
1. Planned Parenthood is all about abortion.
2. The 3% statistic is misleading, and
3. Planned Parenthood doesn’t need public funding.
Pro-lifers knew this all along, of course. But it’s nice to see the facts verified by an unexpected source.
And, just in case there are any doubts about Derzis’ pro-abortion credentials (doubts which would seem impossible to have after seeing the video) she says:
Abortion clinic owner: Planned Parenthood makes ‘tons of money,’ should be defunded
Sign the petition to defund Planned Parenthood here.
October 12, 2015 (LiveActionNews) -- Diane Derzis, owner of the only abortion clinic in Mississippi, was on “The Alan Colmes Show” defending
abortion and complaining about laws requiring abortionists to have
admitting privileges. She says many interesting things in the video,
some of which I’ll address in future articles.As you can see in this video of Colmes’ radio show, he is a very sympathetic interviewer. He lobs Derzis softball question after softball question, setting her up to spout the typical pro-abortion rhetoric. For example, Colmes makes sure to maneuver Derzis into saying that regulations requiring clinics to meet basic health standards and hire abortionists with admitting privileges have nothing to do with women’s health – it’s just those nasty, evil anti-choicers trying to take women’s rights away.

Yet despite the fact that Colmes handles Derzis with kid gloves, there is one major surprise in the interview. Things get strange when the subject turns to Planned Parenthood.
Colmes: Are there Planned Parenthood facilities where you are? Do they exist in Mississippi? What is their relationship to clinics like yours?”This prompts Colmes to launch into the typical defense of Planned Parenthood that we’ve all heard so many times:
Derzis: The Planned Parenthood in Mississippi does not do abortions. They do – we actually do not have a relationship.…
Colmes: I see. So most of what Planned Parenthood does is not abortion, with Republicans, this is a cause célèbre, they want to defund it, when in fact, the Planned Parenthood in Mississippi doesn’t go anywhere near what you do.Then Derzis says is something that shocks Colmes and probably all of the program’s pro-choice listeners as well.
Derzis: I agree that Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Absolutely. They actually do more abortions than anyone in the country, even though they talk about doing only 3%, that’s not quite accurate – they do more than anyone in the country. And they are the Wal-Mart of abortion. I’m not a Planned Parenthood defender here.So here we have an admission that Planned Parenthood is mostly about abortion – something that pro-lifers have been saying all along. We already know statistically that they do the majority of abortions in the US (around 40%), now we have it straight from the mouth of another abortion provider. Planned Parenthood, according to Derzis, is all about abortion.
Colmes: I guess I’m surprised to hear that.
Derzis: I know it, because everyone else goes along with the, what we’re supposed to say, and the PC thing, and I’m just-
Colmes: All right.
Derzis: Not like that.
Derzis is not the only abortion provider to compare abortion to Walmart.
In her 2007 book Safe, Legal and Unavailable? Abortion Politics in the United States Pro-choice author Melody Rose writes:
For example, Peter Bours, a physician in Oregon, reports that new Planned Parenthood franchises in his area are making one of his offices financially untenable; whereas he has once provided 100 or more abortions per month in his Portland office, he now performs around 20. Referring to Planned Parenthood as “the Wal-Mart of abortion clinics,” Bours contends that the larger providers offer inferior services, and that as a result women are being poorly served by the expansion of the organization in abortion provision.One gets an idea of mass-produced products; substandard abortion procedures and clinics which process woman after woman, giving them abortions and sending them on the way.
Although very competitive in terms of price, Bours maintains that their level of care is lower, and that patients often see clinicians with less training than physicians at smaller facilities might have.
Faltering, Colmes tries to get the interview back on familiar ground, attempting again to defend Planned Parenthood.
Colmes: But as I understand it, because of the Hyde Amendment, they can’t, federal dollars don’t go to Planned Parenthood for abortions.In just a few minutes, Derzis has blown a hole through all of the propaganda surrounding Planned Parenthood. Her candor shows that:
Derzis: Well it’s… That is exactly what they say, but it, I will tell you now, that Planned Parenthood has done remarkably well through this fiasco, even though they drug the rest of us through the mud … They had done remarkably well.
Colmes: But what I don’t understand is, in many communities, Planned Parenthood is the only place women have to go, why would you want money taken away from them since many women –
Derzis: Alan, they make tons of money. That’s what I’m telling you here. They make so much money – check out what the CEO makes a year, and I’ll tell you that it’s right under $500,000. [In fact, CEO Cecile Richards makes over $500,000. Her income in 2012 was $523,616.]
1. Planned Parenthood is all about abortion.
2. The 3% statistic is misleading, and
3. Planned Parenthood doesn’t need public funding.
Pro-lifers knew this all along, of course. But it’s nice to see the facts verified by an unexpected source.
And, just in case there are any doubts about Derzis’ pro-abortion credentials (doubts which would seem impossible to have after seeing the video) she says:
I thank God every day I had an abortion. I am not ashamed of that. I have no problem talking about it.Reprinted with permission from Live Action News.

Abortion, Culture of Life
Mon Oct 12, 2015 - 2:31 pm EST
October 12, 2015 (LiveActionNews) -- Innovative scientists at the Institut Marques in Barcelona, Spain, have made an amazing discovery. Preborn babies can hear and respond to music much sooner than previously believed.
“For the first time ever,” it can be scientifically proven that a preborn baby detects and responds to sound at 16 weeks gestation.
The Institut Marques reports (emphasis mine):
This scientific discovery is just one more in a long line, proving the absolute humanity, beauty, and value of preborn babies. As science develops, we gain windows to the womb that show us the valuable person we lose every time an abortion is committed.
Abortion does not take a potential life: it take the real, actual, life of a human being. And in many cases, this little human can already sing.
For more information on preborn babies at every age, check out the stunning photos, videos, and detailed information provided by The Endowment for Human Development, a scientific nonprofit dedicated “to help everyone appreciate, apply, and communicate the science of health and human development.

Video shows unborn baby at 18 weeks ‘singing’ to music in groundbreaking study
“For the first time ever,” it can be scientifically proven that a preborn baby detects and responds to sound at 16 weeks gestation.
The Institut Marques reports (emphasis mine):
“Ultrasound”, the journal of the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS), has published our study entitled “Fetal Facial Expression in Response to Intravaginally Transmitted Music”, an innovative research project on fetal hearing.The Daily Mail reports: “ntil now experts did not believe a foetus could hear until week 18, at the earliest but more commonly nearer 26 weeks.”
This report explains that, beginning in week 16 of pregnancy, a response exists to music delivered intravaginally, expressed through specific movements of the mouth and tongue.
Our initial hypothesis suggests that music creates a response which manifests as vocalisation movements, as it activates the brain circuits that stimulate language and communication. In other words, learning begins in utero.
This scientific discovery is just one more in a long line, proving the absolute humanity, beauty, and value of preborn babies. As science develops, we gain windows to the womb that show us the valuable person we lose every time an abortion is committed.
Abortion does not take a potential life: it take the real, actual, life of a human being. And in many cases, this little human can already sing.
