A new undercover video shows a New Mexico-based abortion practitioner telling a woman considering an abortion that killing a 27-week old baby is no different than getting a flu shot.
The pro-life group Live Action has released the latest in a series of videos exposing late-term abortion practitioners showing no compassion over killing babies late in pregnancy. In this new video, Dr. Carmen Landau, of Southwest Womens Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a counselor employed at the same facility, are shown making shocking statements.
When asked by the Live Action investigator, Is it a baby?, the counselor answers:
Well what how what do you consider a baby? Its definitely a fetus. Um, it depends what the term baby means to you, and how you perceive it.
When asked if the possibility of the pre-born baby feeling pain bothers her, the New Mexico counselor replies:
I feel that its, um, necessary for the procedure to happen and, ultimately, um, safest, and kind of the most, kinda, humane way to do it, you know?
Abortion doctor Carmen Landau tells the investigator that the injection that will kill her baby is like any shot, you know, like a flu shot, or a vaccine, really. Contrary to a large body of evidence, she alleges that babies in the womb do not feel pain or anguish from a poisonous injection, claiming that its not like you and I [sic] where when we get a flu shot, were kind of, Ugh! not that that that experience of anxiety and suffering is not it [the baby]s not capable of.
Lila Rose, President of Live Action, says she hopes to educate the nation on the true nature of abortion.
These babies, said Rose, whom Carmen Landau calls not a thinking being, are unique and precious human persons. They feel, they dream, they grow and when an abortionist tries to kill them with a needle or with forceps, they react. They fight for their lives, just as any of us would.
Our investigation has exposed the disturbing willingness of abortionists to engage in illegal and inhuman acts, Rose said, including misleading pregnant women, pushing them into abortion, and even infanticide. This is horrible, but Americans should know just as well the horrifying practices that are still legal, that we allow to happen every day.
The first half of Live Actions latest video details abortionists estimation of the humanity of the unborn child. Abortionist Laura Mercer assures the investigator that her 24-week baby doesnt even look like a baby yet. Live Action provides several images of premature babies born as early as 23 weeks.
The Live Action video chronicles the story of Toby, a baby born prematurely at 24 weeks the gestational age of the organizations pregnant investigators babies at the time of many of the undercover investigations. Toby puts a name and a face to the atrocious murders occurring in these facilities, Rose said. Every day, abortionists are brutally killing children just like him. Whether theyre called fetuses or babies, this fact doesnt change, and its time for Americans to come to terms with it.
What our video investigation is uncovering, Rose said, along with what we have learned from the trial of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell and from the whistle-blowers from Douglas Karpens facility, is that this is abuse. Abortion doctors, counselors, and other staff describe stop[ping] the fetal heart, a needle being inserted through the babys head, an intrauterine demise. They describe babies becoming mushy, and how they literally go in and grab and pull pieces out. They refer to these babies as human beings, and carry out these inhuman practices on them anyway.
Every human being is unique and precious from the moment of conception. But abortionists will not give even these babies 24 weeks, 27 weeks, viable, capable of surviving outside the womb the dignity of humanity. So we want to put the question in every Americans head: if not even these babies are worthy of humanity in the abortionists eyes, then what is human? What does human even mean?
CORRECTION: The baby in the flu shot comparison was 27-weeks along, not 24 weeks. A previous version of this story mentioned 24 weeks.
This is pure evil.
To be accurate the doctor compared the abortion shot to the flue shot, not abortion itself to getting a flue shot. Not being accurate is how credibility and the argument is lost. Argument is much more effective when logical fallacies aren’t committed, in this case the article author imagined up a strawman - that the doctor directly compared abortion to a flu shot.
Progressive Untermensch - Obama approves!
Carmen Landau, please die an excruciating yet somewhat amusing death.
How these creatures can talk in such clinical terms about murdering a viable human being is beyond me.
thanks for posting threse article
I share them with my teenage daughter
her peers all seem clueless about this entire issue of choosing to murder an unborn baby because it is an inconvenience
Culture of DEATH.
If Carmen is a woman sick B!TCH, if a man, sick B@$T@RD!

******************************************
Ten bucks says that the “Escuela Latino Americana de Medicina” (located in Guadaljara,no doubt) has never even heard of “sterile technique”,let alone taught it.
every society in history has had people like this
people who are cold and inhuman
people who are in denial
people who assist or enable the cold and inhuman and soulless to carry out their acts (”I was only following orders”)
we used to think we were different, evolved and it could never happen again
now “we” almost 50 million of us elected the “leaders” who spearhead this new society and its new “morality” and anyone who tries to oppose it is labeled a fanatic hater of women
Interestingly, my born-at-28-weeks baby is getting her things together to go to Texas A&M, where she got an unheard of out-of-state free ride by being a National Merit Scholar, having a darn-near perfect SAT and ACT, being Valevictorian, knocking out almost 3 semesters of college at the local junior college, and being nationally ranked in the 400 meter.
She wants to be a doctor and save premature babies like her and victims of abortion.
So much for being a “flu” shot.
I saw one website not long ago, where an abortionist was quoted as saying that of course, the fetus feels pain. He would never tell his “patients” that, because it would “complicate an already difficult decision.”
Never mind that it is because of the incorrect belief that a fetus is neither alive nor human that most women who have abortions decide to get pregnant in the first place. Gee, telling women the truth might cause them to make a decision that is less lucrative for the abortionist.
Abortion doctor Carmen Landau tells the investigator that the injection that will kill her baby is like any shot, you know, like a flu shot, or a vaccine, really. Contrary to a large body of evidence, she alleges that babies in the womb do not feel pain or anguish from a poisonous injection, claiming that its not like you and I [sic] where when we get a flu shot, were kind of, Ugh! not that that that experience of anxiety and suffering is not it [the baby]s not capable of.
The shot is the abortion so yes the abortion is akin to getting a flu shot.
I fully agree with your statement regarding accuracy. Far too often it’s a casualty on these threads.
“I feel that its, um, necessary for the procedure to happen and, ultimately, um, safest, and kind of the most, kinda, humane way to do it, you know?”
this is disgusting. the most “humane” way to kill a viable baby? when a dog is put down with anesthesia, its “humane.” when a viable baby moves to escape pain, and scissors are inserted into his skull, it’s murder
And feminazis are happy about it and democrats are happy that feminazis are happy and keep sending those nice campaign $.
