Imagine if someone pulled off one of your arms, then a second arm, then a leg, then a second leg. Then crushed your head. This is what a D&E abortion is.
In 2020 alone, there were at least 1,913 of these dilation and extraction abortions in Canada (based on CIHI for 2020, Tab 7). A you can see form the chart, this number only represents those D&E abortions performed in hospitals, and not in clinics. This means that there could be double to triple this number of D&E abortions, since clinics don't report these abortions to CIHI. (This estimate is based on the fact that in Ontario, there are twice as many abortions done in clinics as in hospitals).
According to a pro-abortion extremist, there are at least 20 facilities that perform abortions D&E abortions in Canada, all the way up to 24 weeks.
At 24 weeks gestation a child can live outside the womb.
Below are two videos of what a second trimester surgical abortion looks like. The first is the testimony of an ultrasound technician who was present at the abortion. The second is from Dr. Kathi Aultman a former abortion doctor.
These three facilities all provide abortions up until 24 weeks.
