00:00:00 I'm Chairman and members of the committee. I only have five minutes, so I'm going to get right to it.
00:00:06 Second trimester D&E abortions perform between roughly 14 and 24 weeks of gestation.
00:00:12 Your patient today is 17 years old. She's 22 weeks pregnant.
00:00:16 Her baby is the length of your hand plus a couple of inches, 0.70
00:00:20 and she's been feeling her baby kick for the last several weeks,
00:00:23 but she's asleep on an operating room table.
00:00:25 You walk into that operating room scrubbed and gowned, 0.88
00:00:28 and after removing laminaria, you introduce a suction catheter into the uterus.
00:00:33 This is a 14 French suction catheter.
00:00:36 If she were 12 weeks pregnant or less, basically the width of your hand is smaller, 0.80
00:00:40 you could basically do the entire procedure with this.
00:00:42 But babies this big don't fit through catheters this size.
00:00:46 After suctioning the amniotic fluid out from around the baby,
00:00:49 you introduce an instrument called a SOFR clamp.
00:00:52 It's about 13 inches long. It's made of stainless steel.
00:00:55 The business end of this clamp is about two and a half inches long and a half inch wide.
00:00:59 There are rows of sharp teeth.
00:01:01 This is a grasping instrument.
00:01:02 When it gets a hold of something, it does not let go.
00:01:05 A denier procedure is a blind abortion, so picture yourself introducing this and grabbing
00:01:09 anything you can blindly and pull, and I do mean hard, and out pops a leg about that big
00:01:15 which you put down on the table next to you.
00:01:17 Reach in again, pull again, and pull out an arm about the same length which you put down
00:01:23 the table next to you and use this instrument again and again to tear out the spine the intestines the
00:01:28 heart and lungs head on the baby that size is about the size of a large plum can't see it but
00:01:35 you pretty good idea you got it if you've got your instrument around something and your fingers are
00:01:39 spread about as far as they go you know you did it right if you crush down on the instrument white
00:01:44 material runs out of the cervix that was the baby's brains then you could pull out skull pieces
00:01:49 And you have a day like I had a lot of times, sometimes a little face comes back and stares back at you.
00:01:54 Congratulations, you just successfully performed a second trimester D&E abortion.
00:01:59 All right.
00:02:00 So do you understand why I want you to take these videos?
00:02:03 I want you to send it to every single sitting MP, to your minister of health, to your MLAs, anybody that's supporting it,
00:02:16 to your mayors and city councils that are wanting to put abortion zones in
00:02:22 so that people can't pray outside abortion clinics.
00:02:25 This is a conversation that's not spoken about.
00:02:28 These are the details that we're not hearing about,
00:02:31 and that's why I'm bringing it to the forefront today.
