Planned Parenthood abortionist Leah Torres’ now infamous tweet this week further reveals the callousness of the abortion corporation. Torres, who is a Planned Parenthood abortionist at its Metro Health Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, wrote that “fetuses can’t scream” because she reportedly cuts the cord of the child first “so there’s really no opportunity,” even if the baby’s larynx is developed.
Torres is also listed as an abortionist for the Rocky Mountain Women’s Health Center. She has also been a vocal critic of pro-lifers, whether in her ongoing blog or in various media outlets where she is quick to write columns defending her practice of killing preborn babies.
While her tweet wasn’t clear on which cord she was referring to regarding transecting, either the umbilical cord, the vocal cord, or the spinal cord, the statement is horrific; however, it is not new for Torres. Ensuring a baby isn’t born alive is something Torres has written about in the past, when she also proudly proclaimed her work “euthaniz[ing]” preborn babies. She wrote in 2013 (emphasis added):
Even in cases of 3rd trimester abortion, the fetus is euthanized. This is not only due to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but it is also humane medicine. It would be very traumatic to the mother, father (if present), and caregivers (physicians, nurses, etc) if during the induction of the abortion the baby were born alive then left to die. How horrific! Despite popular opinion, we are not monsters. We are physicians who seek to minimize the trauma of this difficult decision. In the rare cases of 3rd trimester abortions that are most commonly performed because of severe, lethal fetal anomalies that would not allow the newborn to live for very long (and suffer significantly if/while it did live), the fetus is euthanized and therefore not born alive.
Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino explains this procedure in the video below:
Torres’ disconnect between how she is actually responsible for killing a viable baby is astounding. To see euthanasia as the “humane” option to prevent “trauma” to the parents if the baby is born alive only reinforces the way Torres thinks.
Torres later deleted her now infamous tweet, which caused reactions far and wide, but said she did it to help further “progress”:
While it’s a bit unbelievable that a woman so bold as Torres would just delete a tweet out of consideration for a friend, rather than sticking by her words, it’s obvious that either way she’s received massive backlash, as later tweets have her defending her deleted post, commenting that people are “misinterpreting” and “misrepresenting” her meaning. She resorts to fallacies of logic to defend herself as well. One of Torres’ followup tweets said:
Of course, seeing abortion as an evil act doesn’t make a person view pregnant women as “commodities,” but she needs to find some way to justify her reprehensible comments. However, Torres has a longstanding history of egregious defense of ripping babies from the womb.
In fact, David Daleiden, The Center for Medical Progress project lead, actually said that CMP didn’t investigate Planned Parenthood of Utah because “their abortion doctors were the only ones who actually scared [him].”
While Daleiden doesn’t say outright that Torres was one of those scary abortionists, his comment this week in response to her tweet implies he encountered her in the CMP undercover investigations. And it’s no wonder, based on the things Torres has said and written over the years.
As Live Action has previously reported, Torres has a history of lauding abortion. When the CMP videos were released, she penned a piece in which she defended the videos. As Adam Peters reported then:
Shot with hidden cameras, the footage shows Planned Parenthood executives meeting with individuals they believe are fetal tissue purchasers. While Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards admits the tone her employees used was “unacceptable,” Dr. Torres says that she didn’t “perceive anything shocking” when watching the videos. According to her, the officials sounded “professional.” (This is coming from a woman who has stated on Twitter that preborn children, even up to the day of birth, are incapable of feeling pain.)
Torres doesn’t specify what the most professional sounding moment was. Perhaps it was nine minutes and forty two seconds into the fifth video; that’s when a potential buyer asks if there are any “fresh specimens” he can look at.
Torres has an extensive history of twisted abortion views. This abortionist actually claims she saves lives:
But in order to “save women’s lives,” she deliberately kills their children. While Torres makes it clear she transects the cord while the baby is still in the womb, in order to prevent him or her from being born alive and then killed, there’s not a lot of difference between what she does in a late-term abortion and what Kermit Gosnell did when he delivered babies alive and cut their spinal cords. While one may technically be legal, the result in both is a viable child who has a life-giving cord cut in two, all in the name of choice.

The demoncratic parties finest!!!
She said “fetuses,” not “babies.” I’m surprised she didn’t say that she cut the vocal cords of the mass of cells.
Abortion is a sacrament for the raging fangtooth feminazis. Every time they kill a baby they affirm their hatred for human nature, themselves, and the Creator of it all.
How do these people have souls and live with themselves? I just don’t get it.
You just read about the confession of a murderer, in which she described one of her favored techniques.
“...the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.”—Psalm 9:6
This includes all the mental contortions required to justify their evil actions. Only the goodness and loving kindness of the Lord can save us, apart from Him we’re all lost.
The pure evil of these people are just mind-numbing.
She would have made a great “surgeon” for the Nazis. God will certainly be impressed by her body count of His children.
I think I am going to be ill.
I know there is evil out there, but to grow up, get through HS, then undergrad, and med school.. It is just beyond me that a person of that caliber of intelligence is so devoid of common sense.
WOW-what an ugly person!
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN!
PLEASE STOP THIS INSANITY!
THY WILL BE DONE............................
If we could stop posting this article? Please. It was disgusting enough the first 3 times.
Not posting about it won’t make it go away. Stopping abortion will
It makes me wonder how many black women are in these witches covens. Are black women equally represented by Satan because they sure kill a lot of unborn black babies?
“Planned Parenthood abortionist Leah Torres’ now infamous tweet this week further reveals the callousness of the abortion corporation.” Um, no, not callousness. It is smug glee at the evil being done in service of evil. Such folks God commanded Joshua to exterminate. In our epoch, our tolerance of these devils among us will be laid at our charge ... tolerance of this evil reveals deadly spiritual malignancy in America.
Progressives/Democrats through Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell and probably Ryan have threatened POTUS with a government shut down if he doesn't sign funding for Planned Parenthood.
Call your Reps. and your Senators and tell them No Money for Planned Parenthood...or no vote for them.
There is no greater Evil than these people..
At what stage of development is a baby able to cry?
Thanks for the verse! How about this one?
Psalm 10:8:He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. 9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net. 10 So he crouches, he lies low, That the helpless may fall by his strength. 11 He has said in his heart, “God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see.”
