I read that the baby aborted for having Down syndrome by the YouTuber and his wife yesterday was done so when she was half way through her pregnancy, so I am going to describe in graphic detail what aborting a second trimester baby looks like. Read on at your own discretion.

At 21 weeks the baby is a fully formed miniature human being roughly 10 to 11 inches long from crown to rump weighing about three quarters to one pound. His skin is thin and translucent but covered in fine lanugo hair. He has distinct fingerprints eyelids that can open and close and functioning senses. He can hear your voice and external sounds taste the amniotic fluid and respond to touch. His heart beats strongly. You could feel it if you pressed a hand to the mothers belly. Lungs are developing with practice breaths and he kicks stretches turns and sucks his thumb in the womb. Viability outside the womb is possible with intensive neonatal care in modern hospitals. Many 21 week preemies survive with medical intervention.

A typical 21 week abortion is performed via dilation and evacuation. The process begins by forcibly dilating the mothers cervix over hours or days using laminaria or medications which causes cramping and pain as the body is prepared to expel the child. Then under ultrasound guidance in many cases the abortionist inserts forceps through the birth canal into the uterus.

The baby often still alive and moving is grasped limb by limb. The abortionist twists and pulls tearing off arms and legs one at a time while the child recoils and struggles inside the womb. The smaller bones snap like twigs the joints dislocate with audible pops under the instruments. Blood and amniotic fluid mix as the torso is wrenched apart. The spine is crushed or snapped. Finally the skull is gripped collapsed with the forceps sometimes after being pierced and the brain suctioned out to make removal easier and the remains are extracted piece by piece. The abortionist then reassembles the body parts on a tray to ensure nothing hands feet torso fragments is left inside to cause infection. The mother’s uterus is scraped clean with a curette.

This is not a procedure on tissue. It is the deliberate piecemeal dismemberment of a baby who can feel pain. Fetal pain receptors and neural pathways are active by this stage who reacts defensively to the invasion and whose only crime is existing. The mother carrying this child in her body for nearly five months feeling his movements, knowing his sex, and seeing his ultrasounds chooses to have him torn apart inside her. And in this disgusting case of psychopathic narcissism “for his own good”. She schedules the appointment consents to the crushing and extraction, rests peacefully while her baby is tortured to death because he wasn’t perfect enough for her, and she walks away while the baby’s tiny mutilated body is discarded in a “medical waste” sink to be sent for incineration.

Many women later describe the visceral aftermath. The sudden cessation of kicks the hormonal crash the haunting knowledge that they authorized the destruction of their own baby’s body. It is an act of profound betrayal by the very person biologically wired to protect that life. If the image of a tiny writhing child being methodically ripped apart limb from limb by cold metal tools then sucked or scraped from its mother’s womb does not disgust you regarding the “woman’s choice”, then the propaganda worked on your weak, pathetic soul.

So, I make $100 and the government takes 1/3 of that.
I take the 2/3 remaining to me and I buy something that I need.
They tax that.
I take what is left over and split it in half: half to the bank and have to an investment account.
The interest I make from the bank?
They tax that.
The interest I make from my investments?
They tax that.
If somehow, after all the confiscations, I’m able to buy myself a piece of land they will tax my purchase.
Then, even though they pretend I owe the land, they charge me every year for the right to live on it.
While the Democrats and Republicans keep us fighting each other over how much billionaires are taxed, we stop looking at how much money they take from us and pour into a monstrous bureaucracy that every day seems to take away a little more of our freedoms and give us less in return.
Just a note for all of you who have picked a side in the tyrannical two party system.

In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:

“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."

Very proud of our 6-year-old daughter Natalie, who has Trisomy 21, a.k.a. Down Syndrome. Is it sometimes tough raising a child with special needs? Of course, but the world is a kinder, gentler & happier place because of people like Nat. We love her! #NATitude

[Donna Murray @MurrayGirl]

Our daughter has physical disabilities that we did not know about until after she was born. A few years later, she was diagnosed with severe autism and intellectual disability.

Nonspeaking, not toilet-trained, terrible sleep schedule, and self-injurious behaviors.

She is 21 years old now. Yes, there have been many days when I’ve cried out to the Lord. Yes, I am worried about the future when my husband and I die. And yes, I’ve been envious of others who live a more “typical” life of raising children.

But, God.

He has moved me through this journey with my sweet girl. Life with her is my testimony. I cling to Him and remember His promises.

She can’t tell me if her stomach hurts or why she’s clawing at her arms. But she will sing along with worship music, and it is the most beautiful sound in the world.

She is fearfully and wonderfully made.

@BizSuperstar @Mediaite Kudos for the Dick Van Dyke Show reference.

[T.Anthon @TAnthon76]

@utahagen @peterstopcrime Wrong.

[T.Anthon @TAnthon76]

@peterstopcrime Your husband’s man card seems to have expired. If he touched my wife or my daughters like that that kid’s parents would have been begging me to not drown the little pervert.

@jarvis_best So sad. Given his playing style, I wonder if CTE played a role? The NHL needs to assist their retired players, especially those with multiple concussions during their careers. Rest in peace.

[T.Anthon @TAnthon76]

@Avabelly__ What a selfish neighbor he is.

@Hot_Pepper76 Boz, Skynyrd and Bowie. All great shows.

[T.Anthon @TAnthon76]

@Joeinblack Given his hard nosed playing style, I will not be surprised to hear that he suffered from CTE, which causes deep depression, among other devastating symptoms. RIP.

@kudos964 @daveweigel So, you're saying you're undecided...

[T.Anthon @TAnthon76]

@jarvis_best As a Bills (and Sabres) fan, I feel your pain.

@NFL_DovKleiman Is this satire? If not, be better.
