Abortionist Leah Torres deleted her brutally honest tweet about killing unborn babies this week after it resulted in a lot of bad publicity for the abortion industry.

Torres, a Utah abortionist who is active on Twitter, posted the original tweet Sunday in response to someone criticizing her work.

When the person asked if Torres hears the screams of the babies who she aborts, she replied:

“You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx. I won’t apologize for performing medicine. I’m also a ‘uterus ripper outer,’ if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy.”

The sickening reality of abortion that Torres callously exposed garnered a lot of attention from LifeNews.com and other conservative media outlets and figures.

On Thursday, Torres deleted her original post as a result of the backlash.

“Yes, I deleted the post,” Torres wrote. “My friend asked me to. See, the thing is, she is trying to open dialogue between ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-choice’ here in Australia, for the greater good of reproductive health. Folks allowed the post to inhibit progress, so, it’s off my feed.”

Interestingly, Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in America, liked several of Torres’s posts defending her initial tweet.

Torres did not apologize or backtrack on what she said. Instead, her apparent motivation for deleting the tweet was the bad press.

The abortion industry does not like to admit the gruesome, deadly reality of its trade. Every year, it kills nearly 1 million unique, living unborn babies in America, but it disguises its deadly work with propaganda about “choice” and “care” and claims women have a “right” to abortion without restriction.

Recently, pro-life state lawmakers across the country have been drawing attention to the barbarity of abortion through legislation to ban dismemberment abortions.

So far, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia have passed laws prohibiting abortionists from dismembering living unborn babies. At least as many others are working to pass similar legislation.

Just one of many abortion methods, dismemberment abortions involve “knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus through the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors or similar instruments that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slice, crush or grasp a portion of the unborn child’s body in order to cut or rip it off . . .” according to the National Right to Life Committee. They are common in the second trimester.
