The latest video from the anti-abortion group Live Action shows a doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico comparing an abortion to a flu shot.
Dr. Carmen Landau of Southwest Women’s Options in Albuquerque tells an undercover investigator for Live Action that the injection that will kill her baby is “like any shot, you know, like a flu shot, or a vaccine, really.”
The counselor in the video dismisses concern about the pain a baby feels during the abortion process by saying “I feel that it’s, um, necessary for the procedure to happen.”
Lila Rose, the president of Live Action, said that the video shows a continued pattern among abortion providers of misleading pregnant women and pushing them into abortion.
“This is horrible,” Rose said, “but Americans should know just as well that horrifying practices that are still legal, that we allow to happen every day.”
