Abortion activist ghouls and Democrat politicians consistently inform us that “abortion is HEALTHCARE.” “Your body, your choice.” Yesterday, in a Congressional hearing about the FACE Act, Congressman Brandon Gill asked an abortion advocate, a reproductive rights attorney, to tell the world what her favorite abortion procedure is.

A judiciary hearing in the House of Representatives grew tense on Tuesday when Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, pressed an American University scholar in graphic detail on which abortion procedure she would list as her favorite.

“What’s your favorite type of abortion?” Gill asked Jessica Waters, a senior scholar at the American University School of Public Affairs.

Waters, whose research focuses on “reproductive rights law,” “abortion regulation” and “state control of reproductive decision-making,” refused to answer.

“I’m an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive healthcare,” Waters said.

The entire exchange was uncomfortable and gruesome. And it absolutely needed to be put on the record. 

The segment is nearly three minutes long. Is it painful to watch and listen to? Yes it is. But it needed to be said. In fact, I think this is about the first time that a member of Congress actually described abortion procedures in a hearing for the record. 

And Jessica Waters’ response stayed the same even as she was visibly uncomfortable. “Reproductive healthcare” was her mantra. When we ALL know that there is absolutely nothing “reproductive” about killing a baby in the womb. 

This is one of the procedures being described.

It is absolutely barbaric.

Yes, this hearing was about the FACE Act. Yet it was also about the Biden Administration targeting protestors who adhered to the FACE Act regulations. MS Magazine is, of course, firmly in Jessica’s corner as well as that of abortion at will. 

At the hearing, members of the House GOP—including Texas Reps. Chip Roy and Brandon Gill and Ohio’s Jim Jordan—attempted to rewrite or minimize the history of violence against providers and patients, recasting antiabortion clinic blockades as peaceful protest. The hearing is part of a years-long, coordinated push to undermine the the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, federal law created in response to decades of violence against providers and patients.

Waters’ testimony offered a clear legal and factual rebuttal: FACE targets conduct, not speech; its constitutionality has been repeatedly upheld; and post-Dobbs threats, obstruction and interstate organizing only underscore the continued need for federal protection.

Astoundingly, Waters own testimony uses facts and information from 1993 as if any anti-abortion protest from the 1970’s to 1993 is STILL happening today. Narrator: It is not. 

Secondly, in relation to her discussion of Dobbs and the FACE Act, at least she admitted that Dobbs gave legislative power on abortion law BACK to the states. After naming instances were there was supposed violence against abortion clinics, she concludes with this.

As I said in 2024, the bottom line is this: People should be able to seek medical care, and medical professionals should be able to provide it, without fear of violence or intimidation. This is an issue that warrants a federal remedy.

Again, how is it medical care when one of the patients ends up dead? How is it medical care when the procedure involves dismembering a body…that is ALIVE when the operation starts?? 

Jessica Waters tried to push Brandon Gill to stay on the topic of the FACE Act instead of abortion. It didn’t go well for her. 

Ms. Waters responded: “I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing.”

Replied Mr. Gill: “This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside of abortion clinics. I’m asking you about abortion.”

She said: “I stand by my prior testimony.”

Mr. Gill concluded: “I wouldn’t want to talk about this, either, if I were you, because it’s barbaric and evil.”

Needless to say, the reaction was mixed.

“Master class in questioning a witness,” said former Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah on X. “This is extremely grotesque and disturbing, but this is abortion.”

Sen. Mike Lee, Utah Republican, posted: “Cruel, barbaric, and dehumanizing acts are sometimes buried in legalistic euphemisms for purposes of public discourse. Those who defend such acts don’t always want to discuss the meaning behind the sanitized terminology.”

On the other side was Rep. Shri Thanedar, Michigan Democrat, who accused him of “creepy” badgering of the witness.

“Remember folks, Republicans are NOT the party of creepy men trying to intrude their way into women’s private business, they just want to interrogate you about your favorite abortion method at a national congressional hearing,” he wrote.

Brandon responded. 

Which abortion is your favorite? The one where the unborn baby's body is crush and sucked out with a hose or the one where the baby is cut apart with a knife?

Please enlighten us. https://t.co/IY5Wr9SwdK

Shri responded with the “safe, legal, and accessible” talking point, thus making Mike Lee’s point in spades. He went right to the use of very sanitized language. The same language that everyone in the pro-abortion camp uses. 

Abortion right activist ghouls use sanitized language like healthcare, reproductive rights, choice, and body autonomy. They refuse to talk about the actual procedures used to abort a living baby. Why? Because then they would have to admit that what they are doing is, in reality, murder. 

Brandon Gill was absolutely right to put descriptions of abortion procedures into the Congressional Record. Abortion doesn’t save a life, it takes one.
