What Happens During an Abortion? Kristan Hawkins Explains | The Brief

What actually happens during an abortion procedure?
In this highlight from The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum asks @KristanHawkinsSFLA of Students for Life of America to explain the language and science behind the abortion debate. Hawkins discusses when she argues human life begins, what the word “fetus” means, whether late-term abortion is medically necessary, and how she describes first-trimester vacuum aspiration abortion.
