Video of US Congressman Asking Pro-Abortion Advocate Her ‘Favourite Method’ Goes Viral
When US congressman Brandon Gill asked a pro-abortion law professor to name her preferred abortion method this week, she declined. Every procedure he described is performed in Australia.
A clip of a Texas congressman asking a pro-abortion law professor to name her preferred method of abortion reached over seven million views this week, after she declined to engage with his descriptions of each procedure.
US Congressman Brandon Gill posted the exchange to X on Wednesday, following a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the alleged weaponisation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, shared Gill’s video with the caption: “Watch this. @repbrandongill leaves an abortion advocate stunned after confronting her with the reality of abortion, reading the descriptions of each method.”
The witness was Jessica L. Waters, a Senior Scholar at American University’s School of Public Affairs, who had been called to testify in defence of the FACE Act.
The Exchange
Gill opened: “You’re an advocate for abortion policy. What’s your favourite type of abortion?”
Waters replied that she advocated for patients having access to “the full realm of reproductive healthcare.” When Gill asked whether she had a preferred method, she said she did not.
Gill then named four procedures, describing each and asking Waters to respond.
Suction abortion, he said, involves “a strong suction — 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner — [that] tears the baby’s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container.”
Dilation and curettage, he explained, makes use of “a sharp looped knife… inserted into the uterus” wherein “the baby’s body is cut into pieces and extracted, often by suction.”
Of dilation and evacuation, he described “forceps inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby’s body to dismember him or her — if the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it.”
And explaining saline injection, Gill said, “a 20 per cent salt solution is injected through the mother’s abdomen into the baby’s amniotic fluid — the baby’s skin is burned off — the baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and haemorrhaging of the brain.”
Waters responded to each by stating she preferred to discuss the FACE Act.
“I would prefer to talk about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is what that access gets,” she said.
Gill replied, “This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside abortion clinics. I’m asking you about abortion.”
He closed: “I wouldn’t want to talk about this either if I were you — because it is barbaric and evil.”
The Reactions
Jason Chaffetz, former US congressman, called the exchange “a master class in questioning a witness.” Commentator Matt Walsh said it was “brilliantly done.” The interchange was “simply masterful,” according to podcaster Michael Knowles. Turning Point USA commentator Isabel Brown wrote that “Congress needs 535 Brandon Gills.”
Democrat congressman Shri Thanedar called Gill’s questioning “creepy” on X. Gill responded by posing him the same question. Thanedar replied that his preferred abortion was “the kind that’s safe, legal, accessible, and none of your d*** business to regulate.”
The hearing — titled “From Tool to Weapon: The FACE Act and the Dangers of Federalising Criminal Law” — examined a Department of Justice report on the Biden-Harris administration’s alleged coordination with pro-abortion groups to target pro-life protesters.
The report found Biden-era prosecutors sought sentences averaging 26.8 months for pro-life defendants, compared to 12.3 months for pro-abortion defendants. At least four prosecutors were dismissed before its release.
Eva Edl, a FACE Act prosecution victim who survived a Yugoslavian communist concentration camp, also testified at the hearing.
The Procedures in Australia
All four procedures Gill named are performed in Australia.
Peer-reviewed estimates put annual abortions in Australia at approximately 88,000 as of 2017–18. South Australia is the only jurisdiction with mandatory full reporting; its most recent figures show vacuum aspiration and dilation and curettage account for 30.8 per cent of procedures, dilation and evacuation for 6.5 per cent, and intra-uterine injection — the category covering saline methods — for a further 2.1 per cent.
Australia’s pro-life movement has been pressing the Crisafulli government to lift a parliamentary gag on abortion debate since late 2024.
If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy or grieving an abortion, help is available.

Horrific ! Anyone with normal feelings and a heart would not support such BARBARIC methods of so-called ” Healthcare ” . It is plain and simple -MURDER ! I wonder how many girls and women ( my mother–again and again ) who undergo these procedures are fully informed of the methods used or care ? In Mother’s case, they were performed when abortion was illegal by an eminent society doctor who was subsequently knighted . My deceased husband ‘s 1st wife ( a practising witch who makes her living casting curses, etc ) led the poor man, who desperately wanted children, to believe her D+Cs were not abortions, but, that she had ” something wrong with her periods “. I wonder how many other men are similarly deceived ? The more information is available publically, the more abortion is likely to be outlawed . Australia desperately needs more babies . Girls need to know that by age 30 about 90 % of their eggs are gone. A lot of girls have been duped that they can prioritise their careers and leave having a family until age 40. By then, the only hope is the very expensive IVF procedure. After wasting a huge sum on various courses of IVF, often they are left childless and heart-broken due to deception by celebrities , the Media and the IVF Industry. Another danger is having babies fathered by unknown IVF donors as these are not properly screened for eg Schizophrenia . One case in Australia revealed something like 900 babies were fathered by the same man who had certain medical defects which were passed to the babies who required life-long medical care. Plus , there is the remote danger posed by these half-brothers and sisters( who do not know they are related ) or their descendants, marrying and passing on the mental and/or physical illnesses of the unknown donor who fathered 900 children. All this nightmare is caused by Medical Greed. Thank God for Anti- Abortion Activist lawyer Dr. Joanna Howe of SA.
I wept when i first saw this!!! Great work Kurt!
I hope that those who promote this heinous act to children, have nightmares about the suffering they are allowing on God’s precious creations.
Thank God forJoanna Howe. Please keep up this wonderful work.
Her answers were clever, and they show the law professor was ready and well-prepared for this line of questioning. I just wish Gill had departed from his prepared questions to handle her responses directly. ( I also wish he didn’t talk over her, but I’m aware it’s easy to be an armchair/keyboard critic.) She speaks of “patients having access to the full realm of reproductive healthcare.” Question (following description of type 1 abortion): Does what you call ‘reproductive healthcare’ include this method of abortion? [F/Up: Can you please clarify the former testimony you’re standing by, by clarifying whether this procedure falls within what you call ‘reproductive healthcare’. ] And so on, through the descriptions of the procedures. Her avoidance deserved to be highlighted and underlined to the maximum. Her smirk says all we need to know about her view of this Molechian horror.
A lot of medical procedures could be described as “kinda gross” and “pretty gruesome”. But Gill is describing gross inhumanity comparable to anything perpetrated by the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge or Sennacherib. It needs to be openly stated, as this article does, that this is happening on a large scale here in Australia, much of it with taxpayer support.
What has happened to these women, to give them such a hatred for the little ones?
– repeat abortions until they feel nothing; the spirit of murder? .. Thank God for those who turned from that terrible trade. Dear God, wake up many more!
We should consistently correct every time someone refers to abortion as “reproductive healthcare” and name it accurately as “anti-reproductive death uncare”. The awkwardness of that latter expression is both jarring and memorable. Words matter. Terminology matters.
