In these two videos Fr. Frank Pavone, director of Priests for Life describes first a “suction aspiration” abortion and second a “dilation and evacuation” abortion. His message: “If we’re going to talk about abortion in this country, let’s make sure we know what we’re talking about. And let’s work to bring it to an end.”

Now, it is the fact that a child is being killed, not the manner in which the killing is done, that makes abortion wrong. But it is good to know exactly how these things are done, especially when you’re talking to someone who is still under the delusion that abortion is nothing more than the simple removal of an unidentifiable cluster of cells (yes, those people still exist). Unfortunately many young women considering abortion, though they may not enter into it lightly, don’t understand what a major procedure this is and the serious side effects associated with it, physically and emotionally.

BTW, on Planned Parenthood’s Q & A page it says that “a short video about abortion procedures is under production.” I wonder if they’ll explain how the most common form of first trimester abortion “rips apart the body of the baby, and sucks out blood, amniotic fluid, tissue, and body parts”, or how another type of abortion, once used in Nazi concentration camps, “burns away and deteriorates the baby’s skin” and may cause “severe hemmorage, cervical injuries, or side effects to the nervous system such as seizures or coma” (source). Somehow I think that might be bad for business. I’ll check back and let you know how the video turns out when they get it up there.
