Former Abortionist Uses Medical Animations To Show What Happens To Baby and Mother During Abortion



Former Abortionist Uses Medical Animations To Show What Happens To Baby and Mother During Abortion
by Dr. Susan Berry24 Feb 2016
Pro-life organization Live Action is showing a video series in which a former abortionist uses medical animations to reveal the harsh reality of abortion for both mother and baby.

The group’s goal is to cut through the pro-abortion rhetoric that speaks of “tissue masses,” “clumps of cells,” and “products of conception,” especially at a time when abortion has become a major issue in the 2016 election.

The video below features former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino – who performed more than 1,200 abortions – using accurate medical depictions of what happens during the abortion procedure. No graphic photos of real babies are used in the series.
“I’d like to challenge the abortion lobby – Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and the rest – to respond to these videos,” Lila Rose said during a web conference for media Tuesday. “After seeing the videos, most people would have a difficult time telling a woman that abortion is ‘health care’ or ‘empowering,’”

Rose, president of Live Action, said her group’s nine years of video investigations have led to the realization that most of the general public is uninformed about what happens during an abortion.

“The abortion lobby masks the procedure in euphemisms,” she explained. “’Terminating the pregnancy,’ ‘tissue mass,’ ‘product of conception.’ The majority of the public has no clue about what abortion really does to a child in the womb; how developed the child actually is during an abortion; and the risks of abortion to the mother’s health and safety.”

Rose described the abortion industry’s continued denial of the presence of a human baby during pregnancy. By way of example, she referred to abortion political advocacy group NARAL’s tweet during the Super Bowl, protesting a Doritos ad featuring parents viewing their unborn baby’s ultrasound. NARAL attacked what it called the ad’s “anti-choice tactic of humanizing fetuses.”

The new web video series, Rose says, will “change the debate about abortion.”

“Our experience shows that once someone sees the reality of abortion, it’s hard for them to go back and justify it,” she asserted.

The series consists of four videos – each about four minutes in length. The videos reflect accurate medical information about abortion and use animated medical depictions inside the uterus. Though the videos do not show graphic photos of abortion, the medical animations allow the public to see the violence of abortion.

According to Live Action, all information presented in the videos is backed up by peer-reviewed medical journals and has been reviewed by practicing OB/GYNs, medical professionals, and former abortionists.

The four videos – located at www.AbortionProcedures.com – address the most common abortion procedures:

·        The abortion pill – which deprives the unborn baby of blood and nourishment until it dies
·        The suction D&C – which uses a vacuum to pull the baby apart
·        The D&E abortion – which uses forceps to tear limbs from larger babies
·        The chemical injection abortion that stops the fetal heart and causes the mother to deliver the baby stillborn a few days later

“After seeing these videos, the public isn’t going to buy the rhetoric of the abortion lobby,” Rose states. “In 2016, ‘war on women’ and ‘extremist’ labels just won’t work.

“In four short minutes, Americans will see the reality of abortion,” she adds. “And that’s the last thing the abortion industry wants, because it knows that once people are exposed to the violence of abortion, they reject it.”

A recent Marist College Institute for Public Opinion poll found a full 81 percent of Americans favor some restrictions on abortion – including limiting the procedure after the first three months – and a continued ban on public funding of abortion.

In the survey of 1,700 Americans, even 66 percent of respondents who identify themselves as pro-choice say, “Abortion should be allowed, at most, in the first trimester, in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, or never permitted.”

Pro-Choice Americans Praise Family-Planning Funding Increase
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 17, 2008
Washington, D.C. – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, praised lawmakers for passing an historic funding increase for international family-planning programs. The move came last night when the House Appropriations Subcommittee for State and Foreign Operations unveiled and passed its appropriations bill for fiscal year 2009.
"This increase is critically important to ensure that women receive the family-planning care they need," Keenan said. "As women around the world struggle to obtain basic reproductive-health care, we need to invest in these essential programs that provide services, such as cancer screenings and prenatal care."
The bill increases USAID funding, from $461 million to $600 million for international family planning. It also provides $60 million for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and includes language clarifying that these funds must be released. Bush has cancelled funding for this program for seven consecutive years. UNFPA provides critical family-planning services, prenatal care, and other primary health services in more than 100 developing countries.
Keenan said the subcommittee's action underscores how pro-choice congressional leadership can have an impact on women's everyday lives.
"Pro-choice Americans applaud Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) and other members of the subcommittee for their commitment to women's health," Keenan said. "President Bush has starved these programs for his entire presidency – and when it was under anti-choice control, Congress usually followed his lead. Thankfully, under new pro-choice leadership, Congress has put aside the usual Bush-style politics of rhetoric and division, and instead focuses on positive policies to provide essential healthcare to the world's poorest women."

SALIN project in Mali
With support from the Dutch government under the Strategic Alliance with International NGOs (SALIN), Population Services International undertook a 30-month project, from July 2008, aimed at meeting post-partum family planning needs, increasing contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR), and decreasing maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Mali.[4] This was in line with Millennium Development Goal 5.[5] Family planning can help time and space pregnancies or prevent unplanned pregnancies, reducing maternal mortality.[6]
Mali women of reproductive age have little knowledge on family planning methods and are largely unaware of the health benefits of family planning.[6] Mali's contraceptive prevalence rate of 6% was among the lowest worldwide and had stagnated since 2001, with the exception of the capital, Bamako, where the CPR decreased from 19% to 16% from 2001 to 2006.[4] At least one in 25 women in Mali die from pregnancy-related causes or resulting lifelong complications.[6] There is also limited access to long-acting family planning methods.[4]
Clinic event days were designed to promote family planning. While women waited to have their child immunised on immunisation days, the midwife and the clinic personnel give a 30-45 minute presentation on the importance of family planning as well as the contraceptive options available.[6] Women were encouraged to raise concerns and the discussions helped to dispel common misconceptions. PSI also provided a subsidy for the women who chose to receive a long-acting contraception method, increasing access to and affordability of family planning.[6]
As of 31 October 2010, a total of 1,666 health talk sessions were held and 69,055 women were reached: 1,396 intrauterine devices (IUD) and 14,547 contraceptive implants were inserted.[4] The IUD provides protection from unintended pregnancies for up to 12 years and the implant for up to 5 years.
