Today we had a young mom come in, so this is a big baby, right?

00:05

So we're talking 16 and a half weeks, and we did a scan of her, and I started off just doing a normal scan like I would, just showing her the profile, showing her the baby, the baby's arms and legs were moving around, the ankles were crossed, okay?

00:20

So we see details here. We see the baby's face, there's two hands right there, okay?

00:28

You see the baby moving? I'm not moving at all, this is the baby moving. Look at the jaw moving.

00:33

See the mouth moving? Open and shut. Watch that mouth. It's just like a newborn baby, except in the womb.

00:40

See the legs at the top, the ankles are crossed, all these details, everything is there.

00:45

There's the umbilical cord. You see that little rope -looking thing right there? You see it pulsating, that's the umbilical cord attached to the mother and baby.

00:54

So we can get beautiful pictures like that. I showed her the baby on the screen, I printed out pictures for her, and everything was great, and she enjoyed watching the ultrasound.

01:10

So this would be a great picture to give home, to take home for mom, for her baby. You see the brain structures even in the brain there.

01:24

And then the next part of the ultrasound I did on that very same baby, not moving any of the buttons on the screen,

01:30

I could just move the angle of the probe or the transducer to an angle where I lose the baby on the screen.

01:39

So I'm purposely taking a bad picture. You really can't tell anything, right? You can't see the profile, you can't really see anything.

01:46

This is mostly at the bottom of the screen, that's mostly bowel. The settings aren't quite right. I should drop the depth down,

01:51

I should zoom in a little bit more, clean up the image. But they're not gonna care at an abortion facility. At the very, very top is a very, very small sliver of the placenta, and in the top right of the screen is a cross -section of the baby's thigh.

02:07

But yet I've fulfilled that pro -life law and done the ultrasound, shown the mom her baby. But again, it's impersonal, it's not the whole baby, it's not the whole picture.

02:15

But to her, it looks like nothing. To her, it doesn't really look like anything. So here's the torso and the baby's face.

02:22

You can see an arm moving, and then just in that same spot, move it. So it's only just a little bit of the baby in the picture, but it doesn't look like the baby because it's a cross -section of an area of the body and mostly fluid.

02:34

It's mostly actually just bowel and air of the mom at the bottom, that's not even part of the pregnancy, but it's at the very top.

02:41

But it's fulfilling pro -life laws because if they say, if a mom asks to see the ultrasound before her abortion, I'm doing an ultrasound before the abortion, right?

02:49

If she asks to see the screen, I'll say, okay, no big deal. See how you don't really, can't really see anything? Like, yeah,

02:54

I don't really see anything. Say that's all we're doing, we're just removing that. So the problem with the heartbeat bill is it's ultimately trusting someone who is in the business of killing babies to tell the truth, using an ultrasound to detect a heartbeat.

03:07

There can't be any charges against an abortionist because they're fulfilling, they're not even breaking the law.

03:13

Babies with beating hearts are able to be seen as early as six weeks, but the abortion facility is not going to take the effort or take the time or do the ultrasound accurately to find that heartbeat that early on.

03:26

They're in the business of killing babies, they're not in the business of finding heartbeats, of being honest and saving that baby's life.

03:34

So these pro -life pieces of legislation, these ultrasound bills, and even the heartbeat bills, how it's advertised it's going to save 90 to 95 % of babies with beating hearts, absolutely a lie.
