00:00:00.000The sexual revolution took place and, you know, over the last decades, this has led to the abortion industry going skyrocketing, as well as the contraceptive industry, every part of it, everything that we've spoken about today.
00:00:18.140Everybody's thinking about money and they're not thinking about morality. So if you haven't, I'm just going to play this for a moment.
00:00:24.480we'll begin with you. Welcome. Thank you, Chairman and members of the committee. I only have five
00:00:30.000minutes, so I'm going to get right to it. Second trimester D&E abortions performed between roughly1.00
00:00:35.38014 and 24 weeks of gestation. Your patient today is 17 years old. She's 22 weeks pregnant.
00:00:42.420Her baby is the length of your hand plus a couple of inches, and she's been feeling her baby kick
00:00:47.940for the last several weeks, but she's asleep on an operating room table. You walk into that
00:00:52.880operating room, scrubbed and gowned, and after removing laminaria, you introduce a suction
00:00:57.480catheter into the uterus. This is a 14 French suction catheter. If she were 12 weeks pregnant
00:01:03.260or less, basically the width of your hand or smaller, you could basically do the entire procedure
00:01:07.640with this. But babies this big don't fit through catheters this size. After suctioning the amniotic
00:01:14.180fluid out from around the baby, you introduce an instrument called a SOFR clamp. It's about 13
00:01:19.260inches long. It's made of stainless steel. The business end of this clamp is about two
00:01:23.340and a half inches long and a half inch wide. There are rows of sharp teeth. This is a grasping
00:01:28.020instrument. When it gets a hold of something, it does not let go. A DNA procedure is a blind
00:01:32.920abortion. So picture yourself introducing this and grabbing anything you can blindly0.94
00:01:37.040and pull, and I do mean hard, and out pops the leg about that big which you put down
00:01:42.160on the table next to you. Reach in again, pull again, pull out an arm about the same
00:01:47.720length which you put down on the table next to you. And use this instrument again and again
00:01:52.540to tear out the spine, the intestines, the heart and lungs. Head on the baby that size
00:01:58.000is about the size of a large plum. Can't see it, but you've got it if you've got your instrument
00:02:03.940around something and your fingers are spread about as far as they go. You know you did
00:02:08.240it right if you crush down on the instrument and white material runs out of the cervix.
00:02:11.640That was the baby's brains. Then you can pull out skull pieces. And you have a day like
00:02:16.120I had a lot of times, sometimes a little face
