Glendale, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/armenian-hispanic-parents-clash-with-antifa-school-board-over-lgbtq-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a>, parents who were present at Tuesday’s school board meeting are sharing the inside story about their protest against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sexual curriculum</a> content that erupted into violence.
Three people were arrested outside the Glendale Unified School District’s headquarters when parents concerned about sexual and LGBT curriculum content clashed with Antifa activists.
Families of kids in the district, particularly the Armenian American and Hispanic communities, planned Tuesday’s protest after months of demonstrating and speaking out at school board meetings.
The parents are calling for more transparency and an end to certain LGBT curriculum and policies that they say are at least completely age-inappropriate.
“It’s just been parents asking for transparency, parents asking for rights, parents asking to stop certain curriculum K through 8th grade, and it’s basically like talking to a wall,” Arno, the father of a child in kindergarten in the district, told The Daily Wire.
Arno said he has been a Glendale resident for 35 years and attended district schools.
“We have the right to teach our kids what we want, and the curriculum that’s basically being shoved down our parents’ throats and our kids’ throats is against our morals, it’s against our values, and it’s against a lot of people’s religious beliefs,” Arno said.
Another father named Ervin, who has two children in the district, said he recently inquired about an upcoming lesson on LGBT topics and Pride month, and the school said he had to physically go to the school to view the content.

“They&#8217;re proving that they&#8217;re not being transparent, and they probably know most parents don&#8217;t have time to take out of their day to go down and watch like a 10 minute piece of content, but I did,” Ervin told The Daily Wire.
“Why do elementary kids need to learn about sexual orientation or who they want to have sex with? Like, eight, nine year olds are not thinking about who they&#8217;re gonna have sex with,” the dad said.
Arno said some parents have complained about their children allegedly changing in the same locker room as children of the opposite gender.
“We had a third grade child ask his father if he was gay,” Arno said.
Arno said he got to the meeting several hours early and saw four individuals “gearing up” in helmets, face masks, brass knuckles, and pepper spray. The individuals appeared to be in their 20s, he said.
The dad said he asked the group why they were there, and they told him it was “none of your business.” He said he alerted the Glendale police, who were present nearby.
The protest turned violent later in the day.

Men wearing shirts that read, “Leave our kids alone,” can be seen brawling with masked black-clad Antifa members, according to video footage of the incident.
“When the brawl broke out, the parents were basically poked and poked and poked,” Arno said. “A bear can be poked so many times before it strikes back.”
Inside at the meeting, one teacher who supports LGBT themes in the curriculum and described herself as an advocate for transgender youth, singled out Armenian parents specifically.
&#8220;Armenians talk about the genocide that they received,” the teacher said. “But they don’t want to talk about the indigenous genocide in 1850, and the lack of reparations for indigenous and black people in this country,” the teacher said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
A teacher in the Glendale School District in California, where the violent protests went on earlier between Antifa and Armenians over pride month, went on an absolutely batshit insane rant during the school board meeting:

Both Arno and Ervin are Armenian American.
The school district released a statement in the aftermath of the incident essentially saying that LGBT curriculum content is mandated by the California legislature and Department of Education.
The district said they “encourage” parents to ask questions and be engaged in their kids’ education, but parents say they have been shut out of the conversation.
California Governor Gavin Newsom weighed in as well, accusing parents of participating in a “campaign of hate.”
Arno emphasized that he wants to combat this “misinformation” about hate toward the LGBT community.
“As far as spewing this misinformation about the Armenian community hating the LGBTQ community, that is probably the most false fact that’s out there,” he said. “Because we have friends, family in that community. All we’re asking for is transparency and parental and children’s rights in the school district.”

Disinformation about health care has ripped across social media in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s abortion decision last week.
One of the most prominent claims is that newly implemented abortion bans in various states will hamper life-saving treatment for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages. But that&#8217;s not true. You won&#8217;t be denied the necessary care for either condition under any state abortion ban.
And what about &#8220;medically necessary&#8221; abortion in the first place? We&#8217;ll dissect that claim, too. 
Here&#8217;s what you need to know.
<h2>Ectopic pregnancy treatment is not illegal, and not considered an abortion by medical professionals </h2>
In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies are never viable and always put the mother&#8217;s life at risk because a growing fetus can burst the fallopian tube causing major internal bleeding.
Necessary treatment includes medication or surgery to remove the pregnancy and sometimes the fallopian tube.
Not a single pro-life law denies this care because the treatment is understood to be different than an abortion, morally and medically.
As highlighted by LiveAction, <a href="http://www.webmd.com/baby/tc/ectopic-pregnancy-treatment-overview">WebMD</a>, <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ectopic-pregnancy/basics/treatment/con-20024262">Mayo Clinic</a>, and even admitted by abortion mill <a href="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/pregnancy/ectopic-pregnancy">Planned Parenthood</a>, the treatment is not an abortion.
&#8220;Treating an ectopic pregnancy isn’t the same thing as getting an abortion,&#8221; Planned Parenthood <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/pregnancy/ectopic-pregnancy">says</a> on its website. &#8220;Ectopic pregnancies are unsafely outside of your uterus (usually in the fallopian tubes), and are removed with a medicine called methotrexate or through a laparoscopic surgical procedure. The medical procedures for abortions are not the same as the medical procedures for an ectopic pregnancy.&#8221;
Dr. Christina Francis, M.D., a board-certified OB/GYN and associate scholar at Charlotte Lozier Institute, explained the same.
“My heart is breaking that women are being made to feel fearful by the misinformation that’s out there,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Treating ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages or other life-threatening conditions in pregnancy is not the same thing as an abortion.&#8221;
&#8220;Chemical abortions, which are being heavily promoted by the abortion industry and its allies, cannot treat an ectopic pregnancy <a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=ziOAalYvj2xK2Ffv4A39a59s37puDR6mLFSFxGxJ5-2Bo7JidKXyLUhgw3AKVpBJMZCWRmKDpGPI97iLfdsLLX9cVduKow3YeBhZ0HNyRgcTVA-2BISPBb3ce2FbhC5nUUP1IMunmPxVUDSSN5b8UiPkwsmLqouDGrcl8iaml54GzF6ve-2B1NZCjcmfZ1HBsJ4QI-2BOYKMiG7R5aaJIPWV1RvLc9Xhkk1-2BYsMXlAVNemJ7GJn4mghJTrtv9dSbqhGamM6iBkjLyFFWe0sHtD7aBJFojHA-2FCV6VYQYb58mYjJp9KeaRDtbAs0pLKhJ-2BR-2BArK9oIp-2B7QYeKkhhgI33Yl6g-2FuO86x6KRTkXEqVrzfvtvS6cLl7aee709JDrIT-2BJ-2Fi0d4wh-2F3JDmdHB0cBrHsaFHXKeHD4QgZrd0undxM5zXtH1DsbsQLvHHZYb7J0XfYdcMELJmiwBmrqbJQYr1Bp6yBuEQPNQICzvSMC3rmnsXEzY5OgW7mH4MpkOzplj-2BeYD15K71jE1P1rjUJgAWWVkcVeltvddIViyi3cwRG6gAAfvYEHR2h8kUimE5CBIdrnru3mwowsy9tjBK8UTne6kxVVcb8rrTui6BQS00bi1RBadk1F079pUrSsO8sbondHOwp8yUi5mSWCZ4I60Ei-2FfumL-2BrTs-2F69d48suG-2BnxJWfvUtA8xMaXK-2BnUx5r3tgFuUBy4408sjwqAKrw4UOvhlTErPCxoRSje3ZR07AxWP0XaXq9qClozJwEMs1ylz3KpoemcTLWA6grc05Kw6rIYUQim6OASGylYWWzGOIcAkfUx6BDtlDPRiWKx839daUUdmPTVoEjgg1xrGgkSt1Xn-2BQXKJsEuKyF0qyKQzk3oXYzKTMCW0QdXAsJwihrN4xA4fuyUiv1i0I5DSPhLKJQ7a0vrYRWfGIfTVmYkQOj6I1CBgVk-3DR1FX_THjlhOQ-2FlUkeR1Yx6RMOTROlTiWu9mVPBZGKlMN7Z2IGbVCmysY2TbYB900TZLqnz8e1Y7Hud0lKJ9Eq2fwRH5Qo8LT-2FebtLlibSglSmLvpPLzeyb-2F9EJ4NlNQmfS1ChE1fdzP6-2B0Qep-2BYNAi18q7wkfBjXhUuH2h-2BMCYso5PD9plIOMfgkvsDx9sL03gGyMkWPXATVuW8WaojHmmAAwGPV-2F3LDoUAm7hvswXCD2oHJ0DbCouDkdTqLWTnHQ-2BAHKoCD4-2FUCjs3Gr8ayGcSSWXR1ZkL2NyXEDtrVYrnjL6aT-2BeZEDxuUXBQXJSiAlFOMCMw9Vg2BmFgJH-2FbKU0VPbcIcqcNT38k8uyY51hjD5UjI-3D">according to the FDA</a>,&#8221; Dr. Francis said. &#8220;The treatments for ectopic pregnancy are not the same procedures used by induced abortions, which even Planned Parenthood <a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=ziOAalYvj2xK2Ffv4A39a59s37puDR6mLFSFxGxJ5-2Bo7JidKXyLUhgw3AKVpBJMZCWRmKDpGPI97iLfdsLLX9cVduKow3YeBhZ0HNyRgcTUkshielyMU9WeDnpMTO-2Fzr04da-2BCC3oW1wdsvNsXy-2BGvt4ZoUysD6J6GK-2F7a7Dl7-2BqaqBMmfiVmLkXmos8yrWstmj9qOyxZQRRIPdiTdmIvFMcuOlIFU0TSJYpgQdQpoMdTP9uKuE4Vb8YEL8N06-2BvF1VawaKx7T9jgbP4SWW-2B8IeFnvaW3f-2FgpgeJCgxUma6nDZEhlulA-2Bf87QDFLkvoya6T-2FaoqIfwo8STW4Ysh39kGRTE5vIXERvzBY0lcBVfOB7CVfCus-2BxjgC1cr3cmDY852rcNyO4rzwlYM1hBYzbUzXEQdWpX15jR2zNVBZAcCos3y2WrGpZogdYRUyZEvOJ4GW43fCe5vPedRX-2BqyK4zv0x2xGusNRoZ5Dby2J6EQrAtqFGEQ8WXaAjzeTp2Do9aWWhWr2eqUF71HfypsNIMb7ViBOv6KHEXKQVX9R5Ol2tsaxmhvpzeQdQcUeqCJNTyPxfP3Wv5xFzLDcl8LdOTv-2BPDi-2Bu-2Bk-2BiVMJcvLUAWnLRrZTCp4j8gouduUsbWazxy1brgU-2FGhIx-2BnpF7X0-2Bu2qd-2FBod1zu7-2BcgszvPoQ-2FUcGzI3etpqPEuaGTMycF33bOCoxbaxL-2Fghe52-2FWtU0VdGvHPJdVhhmaTLAKfANGA0Qnp54KSb-2FBx3o3mGspQ3E43yGe7Big-2BpYBs73uEmV-2FjAush4s8zFdHIX1NrjzMYgZ7OeFRntl3jkcHweofdMfKQhV_THjlhOQ-2FlUkeR1Yx6RMOTROlTiWu9mVPBZGKlMN7Z2IGbVCmysY2TbYB900TZLqnz8e1Y7Hud0lKJ9Eq2fwRH5Qo8LT-2FebtLlibSglSmLvpPLzeyb-2F9EJ4NlNQmfS1ChE1fdzP6-2B0Qep-2BYNAi18q7wkfBjXhUuH2h-2BMCYso5PD9plIOMfgkvsDx9sL03gGyMkWPXATVuW8WaojHmmAAwGGQ2OxlzBPc1C1TiQb-2BkZ5NVs7KHSDLx-2Bqqmp5FuYrjxxsp5DUwK05GbTYO29-2F8myhQTJ1z6aJGLLZM0UjDljf7B-2Bm83z4v4Q-2BtgoHLvRee9TMZfwkUlvFsgZ4qFDSxgJqvpkQuPc9RQFKBWfHkrWuo-3D">admits</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;As a pro-life OB/GYN who’s practiced my entire career in hospitals that do not allow abortions, I have never been prevented from safely treating an ectopic pregnancy,&#8221; she added.
Former abortionist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNx7s58q5cY&amp;feature=youtu.be">Dr. Steve Hammond</a> told The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro this week that it&#8217;s &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; to think ectopic pregnancies will be barred from being treated, noting that such pregnancies were treated back in the 1950s, before Roe V. Wade.
Notably, 13 states <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/25/us/trigger-laws-abortion-states-roe.html">have</a> &#8220;trigger&#8221; abortion bans that went into effect after Roe was overturned or are slated to take effect soon.
The language of all 13 new state abortion bans specifies that the bans do not apply in cases where the mother&#8217;s life is at risk. Some of the new abortion bans even specifically mention ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages.
Georgia&#8217;s new abortion ban, for example, which could <a href="https://georgiarecorder.com/2022/06/27/georgias-strict-abortion-law-could-take-effect-soon-heres-what-the-law-does/">take effect</a> soon, prohibits abortion except in the case of rape, incest, or when the mother&#8217;s life is at risk. Abortion was previously legal in Georgia for up to 20 weeks.
&#8220;Any such act shall not be considered an abortion if the act is performed with the purpose of removing a dead unborn child caused by spontaneous abortion or removing an ectopic pregnancy,&#8221; the Georgia <a href="https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/legislation/document/20192020/187013">bill</a> states.
<h2>Miscarriages are not illegal </h2>
Miscarriages, where a baby tragically dies in a woman&#8217;s womb, are not illegal. And there is no pro-life legislation seeking to criminalize women who suffer natural miscarriages.
Misinformation around this has spread online, since post-miscarriage, some women need a procedure also used in first-term abortions. Of course, in this case, the doctor is not ending the unborn child&#8217;s life first.
A dilation and curettage, known as a D&amp;C, is often a traumatic procedure for mothers, where doctors have to remove the deceased baby from inside the uterus. 
In some abortions, doctors intentionally poison and dismember the unborn baby before removing it in a D&amp;C.
These situations are not the same, and doctors know this. It will not be criminalized to receive treatment for a miscarriage. 
<h2>Other medically necessary treatments that could result in an unborn child&#8217;s death will not be banned</h2>
Pro-abortion activists and left-wing politicians were quick to spread ambiguous fear-posts about abortion and health care. 
For example, some claimed you would be denied life-saving care if you have cancer because the treatment could kill your baby. There is not a single pro-life law that seeks to criminalize this because it&#8217;s not an abortion.
Necessary early delivery, too, where the baby has no chance of surviving, is not an abortion and is not banned under any pro-life law. The baby is not preemptively and directly killed, as in an abortion.
What seems to be happening on the Left and with abortion doctors are games of semantics. Just because some care tragically results in an unborn child&#8217;s death or uses similar medical procedures does not mean it&#8217;s the direct and intentional killing of the unborn, which is how abortion is almost always widely understood. And these professionals and politicians know this. 
<h2>Are abortions ever &#8220;medically necessary&#8221; to begin with?</h2>
There are scores of doctors who have come forward to challenge the claim that abortions are ever medically necessary. 
&#8220;In the rare but tragic situations where a pregnancy puts the mother’s life at risk, there are <a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=ziOAalYvj2xK2Ffv4A39a59s37puDR6mLFSFxGxJ5-2Bo7JidKXyLUhgw3AKVpBJMZCWRmKDpGPI97iLfdsLLX9cVduKow3YeBhZ0HNyRgcTXhuQ-2ByeGAKrZnbXiR9nshTUCFMx-2BkBpgon0HfKHKvarM1Y3RiMA73BCTAijb-2F5Q-2FWpYGkxZUvuTtL0-2BOPcAuERMRt0LWcx9VoheTGZ6UDvqFyYaXuOvO54GrLVPzNQTOk9a-2BjOLV9mJ5XfEAh22KOEyGe8FOR7lOa2Anls250b6KP4ZxtszczjQrrBQJMKMBnsGH8knXwS1JctJPDSTjKSu3HCm1GgzpKzGSj-2BfW4g4ls3-2FCS4HgsZKR0pvnIomTLCkIwmie3V09U8unfhIQPSw8KspF62SY-2FtEM202iZmLA-2BA7k-2BSuv0rh73a9Z4KKt4j-2BlJWmqD-2Fgk4pdIDTs3HmBJZSKlqUxOrC-2BTov2TgKjNuXUInvzDxWmgNHQyNDkoKSkRIoQTpRE8BhytIBlvfVVUgi9iMMIfyaP9bxKMq1X4vhdd-2FGpZyVkKv0n9khL5hTD-2B5oLH9fprIG1r9dhsJH1B-2BmHyCBdMjpuR3bQDVYsBGUsvLN7UN3AxdhD9vXwGJmz-2BnU303ZNFcsrHaJNILwc3uzP0vL2JPTXJ1pvX5dFbAvvBXed5nwcDxC8-2F5faTGBunMzRJVvvoGR6S5sBQTtfLV03D6qjVxlInAcKfTG5GiKkKTWSFpGE9PfKWaA7HHDqNaacqL3Tas76Povcey3vnXP6WdutY-2FR-2BcF3ZzWXPA-2BV7bzE-2FfE80UFoY8DC2lG4OKx5aTOQHs1sM9VD97WX7xNEwy2cLV1DL602VnEatdh3T3Qfq9jaRHYfbyFf5Ptd3uegD5x1oae-2BNxA4AGZq6xMm5M-2FBvVKGoB8VdtprNXPH782FLZZqNIbD9MFyBBg-3DiUIn_THjlhOQ-2FlUkeR1Yx6RMOTROlTiWu9mVPBZGKlMN7Z2IGbVCmysY2TbYB900TZLqnz8e1Y7Hud0lKJ9Eq2fwRH5Qo8LT-2FebtLlibSglSmLvpPLzeyb-2F9EJ4NlNQmfS1ChE1fdzP6-2B0Qep-2BYNAi18q7wkfBjXhUuH2h-2BMCYso5PD9plIOMfgkvsDx9sL03gGyMkWPXATVuW8WaojHmmAAwGFumN4W-2Bm-2F3tkQ-2FumYUp5GHfc-2BxNzKN1XOTI4N0JHq8EWyA3GAHmFhofqiWN4XbD-2FXnV7HSJnOzS49y4ROga-2BTi4egqYvjmdlfB7DTg6AnZk3w1zjQ-2FIwoTU3n6zt8Y1gysLQrVHs3-2Fgww-2BJ-2FjclXME-3D">medical </a><a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=ziOAalYvj2xK2Ffv4A39a59s37puDR6mLFSFxGxJ5-2Bo7JidKXyLUhgw3AKVpBJMZCWRmKDpGPI97iLfdsLLX9cVduKow3YeBhZ0HNyRgcTXhuQ-2ByeGAKrZnbXiR9nshTUCFMx-2BkBpgon0HfKHKvarM1Y3RiMA73BCTAijb-2F5Q-2FWpYGkxZUvuTtL0-2BOPcAuERMRt0LWcx9VoheTGZ6UDvqFyYaXuOvO54GrLVPzNQTOk9a-2BjOLV9mJ5XfEAh22KOEyGe8FOR7lOa2Anls250b6KP4ZxtszczjQrrBQJMKMBnsGH8knXwS1JctJPDSTjKSC9p-2FqSVv-2BNV-2FCNaW71Fzj2K3H6hgBObF3OHAVAeUUbDpPiYlX1OgMJj3Oe4kgL-2BcwEQZsJnj7D1XvV-2FxCokevNsysD0y6hoc9tgodY8rHowCLYXZkHkikrhom2UbTKFlqwImqtxWREm-2FF4VcI-2BGi9QdEJuePmI5aj0B8aijjxLc1nC-2FQdey-2Fi40fmTqIk-2FD9XpxPiYFBVWgQ6NUagwI-2F06XgY0MIG4n69tANjRgL-2BBDv2IeAEsmdjk3f40QCin81sBXVyRdwSmNU3bsMSJu98w-2F19ggGklp8v-2FfLnpCEiiVpfUx3wxd9sy-2FuFhPO2yyN9sJgyX8cOb89X5E0HA3NGhJuFW4udTKodarehg4Ou8svmkez5zzz5Q6QauUqkku-2FuCj7dP8jiYM1au-2B0EZ-2BX44o4jQtl06LctRL23wfXV2Q5VhuhgsrSAv3Jzaa5dDeV-2B-2BVeM0sY50CIhp9OF3rEUso5tjs4ZtjKVIpbxO34J72bFBjln4JmPjqjRurYarszbCEFY7J7jboqrVq8SFPvc6YyiOFRnEequZnad2TpJ1TRcYYUUbdHJQ5BHqRlKVGVeSC86EyEMo1rR0xVX97HR4zIcOj6Rno8a6dxSqaerqE-3DmIHW_THjlhOQ-2FlUkeR1Yx6RMOTROlTiWu9mVPBZGKlMN7Z2IGbVCmysY2TbYB900TZLqnz8e1Y7Hud0lKJ9Eq2fwRH5Qo8LT-2FebtLlibSglSmLvpPLzeyb-2F9EJ4NlNQmfS1ChE1fdzP6-2B0Qep-2BYNAi18q7wkfBjXhUuH2h-2BMCYso5PD9plIOMfgkvsDx9sL03gGyMkWPXATVuW8WaojHmmAAwGJlfQBNLUtLmVQVqxo2EDoACYNk3xvkkI3-2FnPxNOLYCPd1sF-2FObu-2BsQSBif58oO5a8ppWC-2BWsxfaHcT5Qdt0C25-2F8ubE46qS-2B83twoy3RDM5FRIXCM7IWoSaMrW2Ei2z-2B4mnGjP09RscLPIF1d0pll0-3D">procedures</a> for compassionately separating the mother and her baby and working to save both lives,&#8221; Dr. Francis said. &#8220;The only intent of an abortion is to produce a dead baby.&#8221;
&#8220;Women deserve to be empowered by medically-accurate information,&#8221; she added.
Dr. Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., a board-certified OB/GYN who serves as senior fellow and director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), emphasized that the overwhelming majority of OB/GYNs do not perform abortions.
“Those of us who regularly treat women facing challenging and even traumatic pregnancies know that standard medical procedures are available to treat these situations without resorting to abortion,&#8221; Dr. Skop said. &#8220;In fact, the overwhelming majority of OB/GYNs do not perform abortions, and that’s good news for women’s health, as it is much safer for the woman to be treated in a medical setting with access to emergency care than at an abortion facility.”
And lastly, a former abortionist, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-abortion-doctor-you-never-need-late-term-frank-camp">Dr. Anthony Levatino</a>, who performed some 1,200 abortions in his career before having a dramatic conversion, dismissed the claims at length that abortion is a necessity to save a woman.
&#8220;We hear all the time how abortion, including especially late-term abortion, is necessary to save women’s lives. Nothing could be further from the truth,&#8221; Levatino <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-abortion-doctor-you-never-need-late-term-frank-camp">told</a> LiveAction founder Lila Rose in 2019.
&#8220;I spent nine years working at a tertiary medical center. There are only certain hospitals in the country that are designated to take care of the really, really high-risk pregnancies … Albany Medical Center in Albany, New York, where I worked, was one of them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was faculty at the hospital for nine years, and I saw hundreds of cases of really severe pregnancy complications – cancers, heart disease, intractable diabetes … toxemia pregnancy, out of control. In those nine years, I saved hundreds of women from life-threatening pregnancies, and I did that by delivering them, by ending their pregnancy by delivery – either induction of labor or cesarean section.&#8221;
&#8220;I always tell people, in all of those years, the number of babies that I had to, that I was obligated to deliberately kill in the process was zero, none,&#8221; Levatino emphasized.
