(Live Action) — Can preborn children feel the pain of the abortion that kills them?
That’s the question posed to Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist, in the first video of Live Action’s Face to Face series. In the video, abortion survivor Claire Culwell says that she survived her birth mother’s D&E (dilation and evacuation or “dismemberment”) abortion, which killed her twin. “I’ve always wondered what my twin experienced,” she says to Levatino, “And what maybe I experienced in the womb next to my twin.”
Levatino explains that though he is not an expert on fetal pain, he has felt a preborn child flinch and pull away from a needle inserted into the amniotic sac during a diagnostic amniocentesis.
“We’re talking 16 and 17 weeks, so anyone who sits there and tells you that these fetuses can’t feel pain, I don’t believe that for a minute,” he told Culwell. “They would feel the pain of being dismembered until and unless that anesthesia kicked in — if they’re even using the kind of anesthesia that would do that.”
A D&E abortion is a brutal procedure in which the abortionist uses a sopher clamp to tear the arms and legs off of the preborn child. Often, the child’s head is too big to come out in one piece, so the skull is crushed before it is removed from the womb.
“You will know you have it right when you crush down on the clamp and see a pure white gelatinous material issue from the cervix,” Levatino explained in a previous Live Action video. “That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. If you have a really bad day like I often did, a little face may come out and stare back at you….”
READ: I aborted 1200 babies. Then my 6-year-old daughter was hit, and killed.
In 2012, Dr. Colleen Malloy, assistant professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, testified at a hearing for the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, stating that these preborn children may even have a greater sense of pain than others.
“I firmly believe, as the evidence shows, that the fetal pain experience is no less than the neonatal or adult pain experience,” she said. “It may even be greater than that which you or I would experience from dismemberment or other physical injury.”
Culwell is the survivor of a brutal and undoubtedly painful abortion. What she experienced was a traumatic procedure that is championed by so many today, yet leads to the deaths of countless innocent human beings – including her twin.

Of course they do................
Anything with a heartbeat feels pain.
How could she look at her mother knowing what she did?
Ghouls and that is being unkind to ghouls...
I had a lady chastise me at a stop light once because my ranch dogs were in the bed of my truck, tongues out and tails a-wagging. As she sped off from the light she had a couple pro-choice stickers on her car. I wanted to chase her down and say my dogs prefer to ride in the back, it is their choice, did your baby choose to be murdered.
And yet they deny pain meds for the fetus to be aborted, because of what that recognizes
And the mothers feel emotional pain—either immediately or years later!
And the mother can feel the screams in the womb.
It is sold as Joy.
As they did Terri Schiavo. There are real life ghouls out there.
Of course they do. They don’t suddenly develop a nervous system
Upon exiting the birth canal.
Poor souls. I can’t think about it for long.
It is horrible that the babies feel pain while being murdered.
But we get distracted by this argument against abortion.
It is MURDER.
If a murderer knocks someone out with chloroform before stabbing or strangling or shooting them, is it any less a murder? Because the person didn’t feel pain?
It’s like the illegal alien argument that they commit horrific crimes once they are here.
That’s awful but they ALREADY committed a major crime!
They came here illegally.
It seems too many feel the need to defend their stance against horrific crimes by pointing to other horror and crimes.
They don’t.
Abortion is murder....the pain is horrific but we need no justification to stop murder.
We need no justification to stop illegal entry into the US.
It almost gives the other side some hope that if they neutralize what bothers us, we will be more amenable to their horrors.
Can an unborn baby be anesthetized? I assume there is some possibilty of doing that.
Would that make it ok then? Would the people outraged by this article then be ok with MURDER?
No, they wouldn’t.
Dont let our enemies think that there is bargaining room.
There isn’t
All the more reason not to pussyfoot around but to push for a national abortion ban. Can’t believe the number of naysayers on here who care more about not offending the libs than they do about protecting unborn life.
Well said!
There is no bargaining room!
Well stated.
