As the pro-life movement celebrates the U.S. Supreme Court officially overturning Roe v. Wade with its Dobbs v. Jackson decision, those in the movement have also been contending with calling out abortion abuse where it is ongoing. Just before the Court handed down the Dobbs decision, Live Action released undercover footage showing the abuses committed by Dr. Cesare Santangelo, who performs abortions at the Washington Surgi-Clinic. His website advertises performing abortions up until 31 weeks and six days, which is into the third trimester.
The undercover footage, filmed in January of this year with a
pregnant investigative activist presenting herself as a patient, reveals
that patients have to take Xanax and have their pants off when speaking
to the abortionist.
A nurse also reveals that they perform "a lot"
of abortions at or past 28 weeks – the start of the third trimester –
that are not for medical emergencies.
Given how late into pregnancy
the procedure would be performed, the nurse also informs the patient
there's a possibility that she could go into premature labor before then
in her hotel room. The patient was merely told to call the facility and
they'll tell her what to do next. After signing forms confirming
they've had such a discussion, she's told that the doctor "could come
and help you take care of it."
