Straight from abortion workers, here’s how they use ultrasounds

Live Action’s newest investigative video shows that Planned Parenthood uses ultrasounds almost entirely for one purpose: abortions. As this woman shares from her personal experience, most Planned Parenthood facilities are more than happy to take a woman’s money and do an ultrasound  — but only if it accompanies an abortion.

Don’t want an abortion? Well, then Planned Parenthood by and large doesn’t want to give you an ultrasound.

Ultrasounds for Killing, Not Care, at Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood’s focus on ultrasounds for abortion isn’t just confirmed by the Live Action video and all the Planned Parenthood staffers whose voices can be heard on the phone calls. Two former Planned Parenthood managers, Sue Thayer and Ramona Trevino, explain in a two-minute video that almost every ultrasound at Planned Parenthood has a singular purpose: abortion.

Planned Parenthood Managers: Ultrasounds for Abortions, Not Health Care

And even beyond these Planned Parenthood staffers and managers, abortionists across the nation are willing to admit the real purpose of ultrasounds at abortion facilities. As CNN reported, Deborah Nucatola, the senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America “talks about doctors performing abortions in which ultrasound is used to ascertain the best location to grab the fetus with forceps. ‘We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver because we know that, I’m not going to crush that part,’ she says.”

Amna Dermish, who commits late-term abortions up to 22 weeks also spoke specifically about “using ultrasound guidance to convert the child to breech presentation in order to extract the baby up to the head.” She explains using the ultrasound screen to find the baby’s spine and grab it first: “I always try to and keep the trunk intact, just by function. I always try to aim for a spine to bring it down.” She also discusses how she “strives for” keeping the baby’s head intact so the brain can be used as a medical specimen.

A formerly pro-choice nurse, Cynthia Isabell, describes what she saw on an ultrasound screen that was used during an abortion:

Abby Johnson, a former director at Planned Parenthood, was also changed by what she witnessed on an ultrasound screen used during an abortion:

Some abortionists are willing to admit why they don’t want women to view an ultrasound prior to an abortion, as this collection of specific quotes from Sarah Terzo illustrates:

Another former abortionist, reveals how the truth ultrasounds reveal is intentionally kept from women:

“The picture of the baby on the ultrasound bothered me more than anything else. The staff couldn’t take it. Women who were having abortions were never allowed to see the ultrasound.” — former abortionist, Joseph Randall, M.D.
