Do you prefer that method?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand by my former testimony,\u201d a clearly agitated Waters responded.<\/p>\n<p>Gill, clearly seeing that Waters was getting flustered, pushed a bit further: \u201cThat sounds kind of gross, doesn\u2019t it? It sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree? It does to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand by how I answered your question fully and accurately,\u201d Waters said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay. What about this one? This one is called dilation and curettage,\u201d Gill said. \u201cAfter dilation of the cervix, a sharp looped knife is inserted into the uterus. The baby\u2019s body is cut into pieces and extracted, often by suction. Do you prefer that method?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waters tried to pivot the conversation back to the FACE Act, but Gill wouldn\u2019t let her off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am an \u2018access to reproductive healthcare\u2019 advocate,\u201d Waters argued. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about abortion itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gill soon moved on to yet another gruesome abortion method.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it because it\u2019s uncomfortable to talk about? Would you prefer it to be uncomfortable?\u201d Gill pressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would prefer if you let me finish my statement to talk about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is what I was asked to come here for,\u201d Waters shot back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow about this one?\u201d Gill continued. \u201cIt\u2019s called dilation and evacuation. Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby\u2019s body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. Do you prefer that method?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would prefer to talk about the reason the hearing was called and the basis of my expert testimony,\u201d Waters said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s uncomfortable to hear this, isn\u2019t it? It is,\u201d Gill said. \u201cI think it is, because it\u2019s barbaric and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow about this one? It\u2019s called the saline injection. It\u2019s when a 20 percent salt solution is injected through the mother\u2019s abdomen into the baby\u2019s amniotic fluid. The baby\u2019s skin is burned off. The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain. Do you prefer that method?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waters, perhaps unsurprisingly, continued to deflect until Gill\u2019s time expired.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
