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.

This clip is graphic and presents a pro-life perspective, but we’ve openly invited abortion providers to appear on the show and none have yet. Watch the full episode for the broader discussion on chemical abortion pills, dilation and evacuation abortions, rape and incest arguments, and “my body, my choice.”
