Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortion doctor, described D&E abortions for the general public: 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 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 brain. 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’ve just successfully performed a Suction D&E abortion. (Resource – Lifesite News)
Does anything from the above statement mean anything to you? Does it in any way stimulate any kind of feelings or emotions about what’s going on in certain abortion procedures? Are there any aspects of this that make you angry or feel sad about what happens to an unborn fetus? Do you think all the women who undergo a D & E abortion understand what is about to take place to that unborn living being inside of them? More importantly, do you understand what this does to a society that’s supposed to be more humane and morally correct than its past predecessors? Finally, are you concerned about how such activity has demeaned the human race and all its present occupants, of which you are one?
The above questions are not ones that haven’t already been asked concerning abortion, but they are the ones that don’t seem to be asked often enough. I know we live in a world today that’s so self-focused; we don’t get excited about anything bad unless it affects us personally. And therein lies the issue regarding why we don’t take any action about stopping abortions, especially where the unborn fetus is literally physically torn apart. Can you imagine the outrage that would occur if such an event happened to a living person in public today? Or would it? Would we get all emotional as we see the pain of torture being applied to someone alive as they scream in pain while their arms, legs, and torso are torn apart, and eventually their head is crushed, and brain matter runs all over the ground?
I know this sounds gross, but it is, and I’m making a lot of stated comments and questions here. So, when was the last time you really cared about what happens to anyone in humanity? You see, we’re capable of compassion and caring for others when we see suffering and pain from starvation, droughts, natural disasters, and otherworldly events, but not when we can’t see it. It’s like a picture: when we look at it, it can have a powerful effect on us. We see either beauty or tragedy, and it affects our emotions and feelings. But not an abortion procedure, it’s performed inside a clinic and behind doors for the privacy of the woman, and the doctors, and the best we might know of what took place is a woman who teaches her abortion afterward, or some report of fetal parts left out in a dumpster or a right-to-life group rallying outside. And even then, we’ll likely act like whatever happened isn’t important enough to care about.
Now, many are engaged in the movement to preserve life before birth, but their numbers are small compared to the populace of any nation. So why aren’t there more people engaged in a movement that sees a right to life and that of a fetus as very important or important enough to risk life and limb to promote and/or support? It’s because it’s not out there where everyone can see all that takes place in the procedure and look at the doctor’s and nurses’ faces or the woman who’s having an abortion. Even those who once worked in an abortion clinic and have since quit because they saw the evil in it aren’t believed most of the time, as many people can’t wrap their minds around what they describe as going on.
That old adage of “speak no evil, see no evil, and hear no evil” is prominent in today’s media-driven society, where we’re fed blips of a video about a suffering dog or cat and then asked to join a funding group that fights for the rights of pets. But those same people who promote that video won’t provide any clips of born-alive fetuses suffering and left to die, or the parts of any who’ve been torn apart. The difference in the suffering they choose to display is a willingness to reveal they see animals as worth the fight, but not an unborn human, or even one just born and left to die.
If someone placed a video of a dog suffering from starvation on YouTube, and right next to it is a just-born infant who’s crying and suffering from the cold metal pan they were left to die in, which one do you think will get the most compassion? My whole point here is that we don’t have to see what happens to care about it; we just need to be of moral conscience and a heart that knows it’s wrong, and we need to do something. There are about 67% of the population of America who say they support a right to life, that’s approximately 170 million people of age 18 and up, compared to only 2.5 – 3.5 million who actually take part in rallies and meetings.
So, 33% of the population sees abortion as a right that’s biased towards a choice that’s always death to the fetus, and the majority of these same people agree that population control is a means to save the planet. It makes not just unborn fetuses but everyone a disposable asset for their immoral cause. As abortionists continue to hide the real truth about their evil intent, it will be kept from us so we don’t act on what we don’t know. Killing another person is wrong and punishable by incarceration or death, as written into the laws of our states and federal statutes.
Abortion is no less an offense performed by doctors who see life as God created it non-relevant to the money available through Government programs and donations supporting it. The choice is ours as a society; we can either wait till our daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters have all been separated from the life-giving opportunity God has placed in them by those who see the death of a fetus as a means of choice. Or we can stand up now and become one large force that can’t be stopped, wiping out all of this evil process that occurs simply because people don’t know or care about what’s really going on.
So What’s It Going To Be? The Status Quo or A Fight For A Life.
