    1. @Justin Fraioli only if the abortion is done in a back ally, and you are comparing apples and oranges. He is right you’re a hypocrite if you are ok with these women being sterilized.

    2. Charlotte I never said I was ok with it, I just don’t believe anything without evidence. Example the supposed whistle blower said one woman was in pain after her exam. Which is normal after a vagina is forcefully dilated for an examination also there is no report of a hysterectomy mill happing there but only a few cases where supposedly some women don’t understand why they received the procedure. So let’s wait and see what an investigation finds before screaming it’s a crime for once.

    1. @Sa. Hayes Forced sterilizations? It isn’t true. Unless there was some medical reason for it there is No F’Kin Way. Stop accepting it blindly when the media push the idea that America is evil. It isn’t. That’s the type of stuff Communist regimes do. We are not CHINA…yet. Not until democrats are in full control at least.

    2. I wouldn’t be surprised, Trump hired Elliot Abrams after William Barr helped get him out of war crimes for orchestrating the Mayan genocide in central America, worse than nazis atleast USA gave those genocide survivors immediate citizenship.

  1. Hysterectomy Description
    Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It may also involve the removal of the cervix, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and other surrounding structures. Usually performed by a gynecologist, a hysterectomy may be total or partial. /Wikipedia

    1. @Gary Santos also these women probably don’t speak gd English so how do u fix ur mouth to explained that. I assume u are one of those people that turn a blind eye on racism. Always finding fault in the victim instead of looking to see if this is a problem. oh wait it’s not involving you so u dnt care much. Got it!

    1. @pleothid Keep your foolishness to yourself. You’re not helping with your hate for God. If you want to help, try forming a plan to stop this from happening. Don’t talk foolish to those who want to help. You make yourself part of the problem.

    2. @CHAZAK EMERALD ARIE & JETT LLC Keep YOUR foolishness to YOURself.

      Not everyone believes as you do. Why, then, pray in a public forum such as YouTube? I don’t know what belief system you subscribe to, but if you’re Christian, the Bible explicitly prohibits that.

  2. Protect Whistleblowers! Speaking the truth shouldn’t be met with intimidation and reprisal, as is often the case.

    1. @Paul Gotti Well, some try. Look at the impeachment whisteblower.
      NO evidence, claims they overheard something, they didn’t actually hear the conversation, we have the transcript and all the witnesses admit all they had was supposition.

      Let’s not pretend otherwise, shall we?

    2. @Aethelbeorn yeah Obama signed that then preceded to go after whistleblowers and journalists more than any other administration he even went after whistleblowers from bushes adm. Search (obamas war on whistleblowers). And patriot act shouldn’t be amended it should be abolished.

    1. Joshua Cafarelli Oh look, an Italian defending something you would’ve seen under a fascist regime. Remember when this country killed your people that barely put up a fight? Make my pizza boy.

    2. Joseph Kyle Anyone can be corrupted! The doc may be on the wrong side of the tracks and she has already been demoted. Hopefully that’s all!

    3. @Jason how ironic that you actually know the origins of Facism (Gentile, Italy) but wouldn’t know it if it smacked you in the face

    1. 👍🏾Where ever the US flags flies, you’re supposed to speak out if you see treatment you’d expect under the Swastika, Hammer and Sickle, or the PRC.

    1. @The Wolf theres no way that ever happened unless it had to be done to save her life like to remove cancer or something.

    2. @william brink Tuskegee Experiment, for syphilis, look it up. The Government has done medical experiments on marginalized populations in the past w/o their knowledge or consent and these were American Citizens, I would believe it could happen again, especially to women being deportated. What’s in it for that nurse to lie? God bless you, bro. I wish I could believe something better too, but the past often is a predictor of the future. 🇺🇸America can do better.

    3. @RANU Support whats in it for the girl? Thats a dumb question, theres millions of political wack jobs thinking they can help their guy win by making up a crazy story right about now.

    1. She shouldn’t be working there. if she cared she would fight for their freedom and end of ice facilities. Not working there.

  3. Actually surprised if they did have a hysterectomy because it takes a long time to recover from that. They could be confused as to the procedure they received. A hysteroscopy, PAP, cervical screening, Colposcopy, endometrial biopsies do cause bruising and they are Very Painful but I have doubts they had a hysterectomy.
    You have to be put under for that surgery and they said they were awake so I have serious doubts.
    If the women did not consent then Yes that is ILLEGAL.

    1. WorldWithoutHate=PeaceOnEarth I would love to see a one of these supposed women’s scars from the surgeries they’re claiming have happened. I know for a fact that nobody was cut open and operated on to the point of organ removal, this report is disgusting propaganda.

    2. Either you’re a man or you have a horrible gynecologist if you think bruising is normal for a PAP or cervical exam.

    3. @Ribshok Productions I bet you would love that, better to have a doctor look instead of a demand from some person on youtube.

    4. @ThatLadyDray I am a woman and I would know whats normal and not normal. I have had many procedures over the past 22 years. I have to have paps, biopsies done 3 times a year bc Im high risk CC. Every woman is different.
      I bruise easily bc of auto immune issues, anemia and nutrient/vitamin deficiency.
      Google reviews of women who have had Colposcopys, endometrial biopsies without anesthesia. Most will agree it needs to be done with anesthesia bc its straight up torture.

  4. Power and prayers to you brave lady. Thank you for speaking up. Be safe and hope we can help these poor women who were treated so horribly.

  5. Dawn…thank you for your bravery, your courage to speak up. Your interview was inspiring in the mist of this darkness. You are a true hero.

  6. Thank You for being a human being and having a heart to listen to these ladies it’s a shame others ignore what is going on in these detention centers.
