Against Late Term Abortion?

Feminists certainly aren't, despite their occasional half-assed screeds against it. It's all just birth control to them. Viablity is relative to feminist supremacism.

Poverty Is All The Fault of Children!

Yeah! We wimmenz iz jes victims! Those kids just wanna cut into OUR entitlements! Kill them, or tax them to death! We hate the poor, because unicorns and tolerance!

Shriek! Abstinence Made Me Pregnant!

Trolled from HuffPoo by regular commenter LimeGreen. My snarkasm in italics.

"Are there any side effects to going off the pill?" I asked Dr. Frankenweiller, my OB/GYN.

"Yes," he replied, "Pregnancy."

Not to mention not ingesting a Group One carcinogen daily.

And he was right. One month to the day after going off the pill, I was pregnant. I blame it on deciding to practice abstinence.

It couldn't possibly be because you had sex. That would be too sciencey and stuff.

Let me backtrack.

My father ruined any shot I had at teen pregnancy the night senior second baseman Mike Sheridan came to call at our home and my dad answered the door conveniently cleaning his Magnum .45. I was Homecoming Queen of Upland High School in 1983 and I couldn't get a date. There wasn't any boy brave enough to attempt to steal my virginity, they were all pretty sure my dad wasn't afraid of going to jail.

Unless you've been raped, nobody has 'stolen' your virginity - you gave up it up of your own free will.

So it wasn't until college, when I fell in love with my first boyfriend freshman year, that I relinquished my virginity behind a couch amidst a sea of Cheez-It crumbs in an off-campus apartment while my boyfriend's roommates farted and belched like cannon-fire in adjacent rooms.

How romantic.

"So this is sex?" I thought. "This is what everyone's talking about? It's so lame!" First time sex is, by definition, awkward. We did not use contraception the first time we had sex. We didn't use contraception because I was, up until that point, abstinent. Despite all of the kissing and petting and steaming up of car windows in that first month of our relationship, I hadn't made up my mind to have intercourse. I expected to be more premeditated and rational about it. Picking a date together and a place -- I'd really hoped for a fern-draped cave just off the Blue Lagoon -- so when the time came, somewhat unexpectedly, I wasn't prepared.

So, instead of saying no, let's wait until we have some protection, you couldn't resist the romance on the filthy floor behind the couch. Your choice.

And let me say this: My boyfriend was in love with me and he was responsible (as far as any 20-year-old young man can be), but protection wasn't as high on his list in the heat of the moment because he couldn't get pregnant. MEN CAN'T GET PREGNANT. So when their hormones take over, the consequences seem much further removed.

He was SO responsible he couldn't wait until you were protected. He was so in love with you, your first time was on a dirty floor with roommates farting in the other room. I'd feel special, too. That'd be totally worth risking unintended pregnancy. Barf.

I quickly began taking the birth control pill, conceding that I was not going to be abstinent as much as I thought I should be, and thankfully we did not get pregnant from our first time.

Which brings me to my point: I believe sex should NOT BE a MORAL ISSUE, it should be a PRACTICAL ISSUE.

It certainly wasn't a moral issue for you, so what's the complaining for? If other women see it as a moral issue (and millions of us do) isn't that OUR choice?

Contraceptives to avoid STDs and pregnancy. Waiting for a lover who cares about you to mitigate heartbreak (although I suspect a little heartbreak in a lifetime is unavoidable).

Contraceptives only work if you use them properly. Abstinence, on the other hand, is 100 percent foolproof. No sex=no baby.

That 19-year-old girl behind the couch believed sex was a moral issue. I thought if I had sex before marriage I was a slut, a whore and would be judged by God. Hence, I took no precautions and hoped I would be able to abstain. I fell madly in love and, try as I might to keep our relationship vertical, I failed -- as do a vast majority of perfectly intelligent young men and women.

Yeah, you were so concerned about the judgment of God you jumped right behind that couch. Uh huh.

I think making sex a moral issue, with abstinence as its mascot, encourages furtive behavior. Oh, there are names I could fling about (Ted Haggard -- abstinence proponent who has sex with male prostitutes while snorting meth), but I'll try to keep the politics personal.

I used the birth control pill for the next five years in my first relationship. When that relationship ended, I became a bit of a serial monogamist. At the end of a third unsuccessful relationship, I took stock and realized that at 25, I had no idea what I was doing with men. My heart had been broken and I'd broken a couple of hearts. I decided to take a big step back, a leave of absence as it were. In a word, I decided to be abstinent once again.

I had that conversation with my OB/GYN and despite his warnings that a side-effect of discontinuing use of the birth control pill was pregnancy, I stopped taking it anyhow.

I did very well until...

One of the young men whose heart I'd broken wouldn't give up. He loved me in a wild, passionate, willing-to-make-a-fool-of-himself way. I'd find roses on my windshield after work. Poetry on my answering machine. Declarations of love on bended knee in the mildewy bus boy's station at the restaurant where we both worked.

Then one night, he appeared at my door bearing a Christmas gift. I told him I couldn't take his Christmas gift. It came in a blue Tiffany's box. I told him he was crazy, that he couldn't afford that on a food expediter's salary (he'd been demoted from waiter). I opened it and inside was a small, simple silver heart. He'd bought one for me and one just like it for his 10-year old sister.

I think you may suspect what happened next.

And it was totally out of your control and you couldn't possibly have said no. Again, no self-control is not the fault of abstinence. You failed. You chose to have unprotected sex and *gasp* got pregnant. How could THAT have happened?

Suffice to say in the heat of the moment, we hoped the rhythm method would work. Two weeks later I was pregnant. I would say "we" were pregnant, but it really was only me. I was and am still pro-choice. I knew I had options. I considered them all, including marriage, which this young man sweetly offered. But I never had to make a choice, because the morning the United States began its bombing of Iraq in the First Gulf War, I began to miscarry. I was surprised at the sense of loss I felt for this unwanted pregnancy, but was also grateful to be spared making a choice that might haunt me the rest of my days.

'Hope' isn't an effective birth control method. Would you have been 'surprised by the sense of loss' if you had aborted?

I think "abstinence only" flies in the face of nature and the biological imperative. People who choose abstinence as a self-protective measure have my admiration, because I was incapable of doing so. But making abstinence a moral imperative just breeds shame, self-loathing and, more often than not, failure to live up to the ideal.

So because you were incapable, abstinence is unnatural all of a sudden. Having an orgasm isn't a biological imperative. Farm animals understand when they are in estrus, and the time for procreation, but feminists? WAY over their heads. Yeah, not being willing to be a revolving door is totally self-loathing, we should be ashmaed of not being passed around like party favors and choosing to respect ourselves and waiting for someone who respects us too. Next thing you know, they'll be calling us adults and stuff.

When I was 36 and 38 I gave birth to my two beautiful daughters. They came at just the right time, with exactly the right partner, my husband Henry. That wouldn't have been possible without birth control. I hope both of my daughters will wait until a ripe old age (35?) before they engage in sexual activity and I hope they will only give themselves to men who cherish them, but when they're in high school I'll be taking them to Planned Parenthood. No shame. No blame. Knowledge is power.

I hope so too, but if they listen to you, it's not likely. If you pass off your responsibility of educating them to Planned Parenthood, it's guaranteed they won't.

It never ceases to amaze me how quick feminists are to demonize the one choice sure to yield the result they want: no pregnancy. It's not difficult to see why principled women who want better for themselves and their children so provoke the ire of feminists, though-such women are everything feminists will never be, Every time they trash abstinence they highlight their own failures and confirm that they have no respect for the choices of other women. Abstinence doesn't play well into the victim feminist mindset-grown women with foresight who make the right choices don't need to blame others for their own actions.

This...

...is what the Supreme Court ruled on today. It's now legal for the government to force you to buy what they tell you to buy. Your not yet born great grandchildren will work their whole lives to pay off this mess. We are a country who kills our unborn children by the millions, and now those of us who object will be forced to ante up even more blood money. Our freedoms and individuality continue to erode. Amusing, isn't it, that the prochoice camp is so happily forcing one-choice Obamacare down the throats of everyone else?

Because there is no higher authority (cough) than the Supreme Court, whatever it says is true — no matter how absurd (see: Roe v. Wade). If a majority of the Supremes decide that Obamacare is constitutional, then it is, 9th and 10th Amendments be damned. Decorum has been damned too, as Demorrhoids celebrate the big victory for authoritarian collectivism.

The ACORN/SEIU-affiliated Patrick Gaspard was National Political Director of Obama’s 2008 campaign, and now serves as Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee. In light of John Roberts’s seeming defection to the court’s left wing and the subsequent upholding of ObamaCare, Gaspard reached across the aisle with this less than gracious tweet:

“it’s constitutional. Bitches.”

At least now we can drop the 'working-together-to-find-middle-ground' road apple. The Democrat Party and its allies are completely devoted to dragging America down into socialism, with all the poverty and tyranny that will inevitably entail. All of us worthy to call ourselves Americans must be completely devoted to stopping them.

By grinding their arrogant authoritarianism in the country’s face, Obama, Gaspard, et al. are laying the groundwork for patriots to turn this into a Pyrrhic victory for the internal enemies our Constitution was intended to defend us against. Remember when we fought a war against England because we were tired of government telling us what to do?

Don’t imagine they don’t know what they are doing to our country. Check out the look of pure satanic malice on the face of the Redistributor in Chief as he signed away our healthcare system, surrounded by socialist rats:



Whatever America did to earn their hatred, liberals are certainly taking their revenge. We knew better than to entrust our liberty to the statist oligarchs on the Supreme Court, didn’t we?

The Obamacare power grab absolutely must be repealed before it becomes entrenched. This means that Republicans must take control of both houses of Congress as well as the White House. It is no exaggeration to say our nation is at stake. Socialized medicine not only destroyed healthcare in Britain but reduced it to a second-rate country; it will do the same to us.

Feminist Conspiracy Theory of the Day

Dumbest tweet I've seen...in about ten minutes, LOL. Yeah, sure we don't. That's why we all have jobs. Anyone who thinks motherhood isn't work doesn't have kids. Extra moron points for that coming from someone claiming to be a mother.

Abortion Gang Puts the FU Back in Reproductive Fun!

A snippet of the latest douchebaggery from Abortion Gang, in which 'Kaitlyn' gushes over how leik totally awesum Planned Parenthood's Summer,Sex and STDs soiree was...

"So where I ended up last night was a pretty cool place, surrounded by people my age drinking and partying to good music with people walking around on stilts and making balloon animals. Fun. Sexy. And as a result, I want to propose here and now that we put the fucking back in reproductive rights. “What kind of work do you do?” “I’m in fucking reproductive rights.” It really just lends itself to so many circumstances."

Seriously, could a feminazi abortion zealot ask for a better time than this? Lots of booze, conversation about their favorite topics: abortion and mindless sex, beta male prochoice mangina types galore, and balloon animals, all while getting fleeced by Planned Parenthood shills! I'd rather jump naked into a huge pile of thumbtacks, as the song goes. No need to put the 'fucking' back in your repro rights campaign. It never left.


Because sometimes regular strength just ISN'T enough.

What Kills More Americans?

Abortion. 3800 killed daily.

Perfectly Normal Planned Parenthood Kiddie Porn

What book has quietly sold over a million copies, miseducates children about sex, and outrages many parents when they get hold of it? It’s 'Perfectly Normal', written by Robie Harris and illustrated by Michael Emberley, and it's been described as "pornographic." That’s putting it mildly. It's chock-full of watercolors featuring assorted sex acts and full frontal nudity. Most of the characters illustrated are pubescent boys and girls. The presentation would not be out of place on the walls of a ruined brothel in Pompeii.

'Perfectly Normal' is a self-described sexual health children's book so graphic in its contents that material from it has been banned from a state prison and several web sites. It's been targeted by the American Life League (ALL) as completely inappropriate, especially since its instruction is aimed at children ages ten and up.



Endorsed by Planned Parenthood, it contains written descriptions and cartoon depictions of sex acts, including two pictures of teenagers engaged in masturbation. The text is dismissive of religious disapproval of masturbation and also discusses deviant sex acts.





Free copies of the book are distributed to children at an annual party sponsored by Planned Parenthood.

"How can anyone claim that this book is appropriate for 10 year-olds?" asked Jim Sedlak, vice-president for American Life League.

A Washington State prison rejected a fund-raising letter that included censored images from the book for being "sexually explicit" and "obscene."

Book author Robie Harris was interviewed on the Planned Parenthood web site in response to earlier ALL reaction to her book. In the interview she said "My response is that there is no response. I could spend all of my time responding to things that are said about my work that are not true. Or I can spend my time making sure that my books are up-to-date and the information is current, and I can continue speaking at schools ... and creating new books for kids." Typical liberal dodge.

American Life League examined 'It's Perfectly Normal' in the above video report posted to several streaming-video sites. Even though it reproduced the book's most explicit content only in censored form, the ALL video was removed from vidilife.com, sharkle.com, and hi5.com for "inappropriate content," and flagged on another site to restrict viewers under 18.

"What an irony that censored content from a book intended for 10-year-old children is rejected by a prison, removed from video-streaming sites, and flagged for viewers over the age of 18," said Sedlak.

"We actually have no objection to the actions of the online sites and the prison. We agree that this is not appropriate content.”

"We are calling for libraries, schools and parents all across the country to take similar action," Sedlak continued. "Planned Parenthood should be denied access to our children at all times. The material it promotes is totally inappropriate and could be harmful."

If a dirty old man gave your kid this book in a park, he'd be under arrest. Planned Parenthood will stop at nothing to sex up the kiddies-the sooner they start screwing around, the better for business. As was rightly said in the ALL video, Planned Parenthood uses the same business model as drug dealers-get them hooked and reel them in. This isn't Planned Parenthood's only sex guide for kids - check out Healthy Happy and Hot, their guide on how to get laid for HIV positive teens. Depraved.

Defining Dependence

Yeah, after about 20 weeks you can just drop them off at day care. *Facepalm*

Shriek! Abortion Pics!

If there's nothing wrong with abortion, and it's such a healthy choice and so good for women, you should have no problem seeing pics of it. Derp.

Abortion=A Solid Plan

But proaborts never use abortion as birth control. Riiiiiiight.

Priveleged?

Sez yet another of the pampered princesses who sits on Twitter night and day spewing bullshit while someone else foots the bill. Go haul some water. Go feed some hungry people and stop hating on the poor and using them as political props and insinuating thay'd have been better off aborted. No one's buying it. Abuse of the unwanted? See: abortion.

Relevant?

AGAIN-sentience and degree of cognitive function are NOT requirements for the right to life-unless you'd like to tell the comatose, those with alzheimers, stroke victims, etcetera, that they're not human beings under your guidelines? On a scale of one to Nazi, who qualifies under these criteria, when the goalposts of bioindepence, sentience and cognitive function can be moved by your ilk at any time? This tweet is extra funny coming from a blowhard that shrills constantly about not relying on the law as a moral compass.

No Abortion Clinics in Mississippi? My Life Will Be Ruined!

Excerpted from Bloomberg, on how Mississippi may soon become the first U.S. state without an abortion mill...

Ruined Life

“I want to be like my parents, I want to be married to the guy, I want to be in love and I want to have both parents here for the child,” said Johnson.

Her job provides barely enough money to afford a car and couldn’t support a child, she said.

“Opting out and waiting till I am ready would be the better decision,” she said. “If the clinic was closed, my whole life would be ruined.”

She'd be right if she were talking about opting out of sex until she was ready for children. Out of the question for must-have-it-now-its-all-about-me proaborts. Because 'my life will be ruined without the easy out of abortion'!



Define 'ruined'.

Meanwhile, Robin Marty is Butthurt Over Rubber-Stamping Abortionist's Revoked Lisence

Marty's latest shrill screed...

In a continuing effort to both curb access to abortion and reiterate their own opinion that there is never any situation where abortion could be necessary for a patient's well-being, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts has decided in favor of revoking Dr. Ann Neuhaus's medical license. Neuhaus, a colleague of Dr. George Tiller, assisted him by providing second opinions for mental health exceptions for late abortions.

According to the Associated Press, Neuhaus was hoping to have her full medical license restored after spending years only allowed to provide limited medical care for charity work. Instead, an ongoing investigation into 11 patient cases obtained by Operation Rescue became the center of a movement to have her license stripped all together.

The cases all involved girls who sought abortions due to mental health issues from depression to suicide, with an age range from 17 years old to as young as 10. The board alleged that Neuhaus's exams were not thorough enough based on the available records provided, and that her follow up care was inadequate, as she did not recommend counseling or hospitalization afterwards.

Neuhaus called the accusations ridiculous. She said she refused to put too much identifying information in the records because she knew that they could eventually end up in the hands of outsiders and violate the patients' privacy. As for abortions not being necessary, Neuhaus found that laughable as well.

"To even claim that isn't medically necessary qualifies as gross incompetence," said Neuhaus. "Someone's 10 years old, and they were raped by their uncle and they understand that they've got a baby growing in their stomach and they don't want that. You're going to send this girl for a brain scan and some blood work and put her in a hospital?"

Sadly, the findings of the board were nearly inevitable. One of anti-choice Governor Sam Brownback's most recent appointments to the board was Richard Macias, a former Operation Rescue attorney, showing the Governor's obsession with getting anti-abortion activists key administrative spots for regulating the procedure. "I'm more concerned about the standard of care, particularly the aftercare," Macias told the AP. "That's the issue that bothers me the most."

Standard of care is a pretty loose term for a group that believes that later abortions were being used as "birth control." Offering their own expert witness during the board hearing, the witness claimed repeatedly that there is never any case in which providing an abortion could be seen as beneficial to a patient's mental health.

On cross-examination by Neuhaus’ attorney, Robert Eye, questioned Dr. Gold about standard of care for mental health evaluations for late-term abortions. Gold replied that there is no such thing. She explained, “Late term abortion is not a treatment or intervention for any psychiatric condition.” That statement was initially stricken from the record at Mr. Eye’s request, but Dr. Gold continued to repeat her opinion on the record when asked.

When questioned about whether she had ever admitted a patient to the hospital for a late-term abortion Dr. Gold responded, “It would be inappropriate for a psychiatrist to admit a patient to a hospital for abortion services.” That comment was also stricken from the record.

When asked if an unwanted pregnancy put a teen at risk for developing psychiatric disorders, Gold was emphatic.

“Teen pregnancy is not a risk factor for psychiatric disorders,” she said.

Neuhaus will appeal the ruling. If she loses, she will not only have her license permanently revoked, but also nearly $100,000 in court costs.

'Standard of care' is a pretty loose term for a Tiller associate who's infamous for rubber stamping abortions on full term healthy babies for such dire medical indications as 'financial difficulties' and 'emotional distress', most for women she never saw in person. Here is a sample of what the Medical Board had to say about the assessment Neuhaus performed on her patients:

Patient 1: Age 16, 26+ weeks pregnant.

[Neuhaus] did not provide a review of the patient's psychiatric, medical, or developmental history, prior psychiatric treatment or symptoms, family history, family relationships, physical or sexual abuse, substance abuse, or any other possible cause of distress. [Neuhaus] did not document the patient's physical appearance, mood, or anything personal to Patient #1. There is no evidence of any type of mental status evaluation.

Patient #2: Age 10, victim of incest rape at age 9. From Patient #2's record, it's unclear if Neuhaus ever even met with her. The Board's expert noted that given Patient #2's age and history of incest and rape, she should have been evaluated by a specialist qualified to work with her, including input from other caregivers.

Patient #3: Age 15, 26 weeks pregnatn. The mental illness statement in this patient's file was completed by Tiller's staff. There was no appropriate review of Patient #3's history, as found with Patient #1.

Patient #4: Age 15, 28 weeks pregnant. Neuhaus diagnosed her with Acute Distress Disorder, Moderate, but made no record of whatever traumatic event "that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury" caused Patient #4's condition. The same shortcomings noted with the other patients were also seen here.

Patient #8: Age 13, 25 weeks pregnant. There was nothing in Patient #8's file indicating that she was dianosed with Suicide Ideation and Acute Stress Disorder, though this is what Neuhaus testified that she'd diagnosed. The same shortcomings in Neuhaus's evaluation (or rather, lack of evaluation) in other patients was noted with Patient #8 as well.

Patient #10: Age 18, 25 weeks pregnant. Neuhaus diagnosed her with Acute Stress Disorder, Severe, and listed the traumatic event "that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury" as "unintended pregnancy." Patient #10 had a history of psychiatric treatment but her history was never reviewed and there was no consultation with her treating physician. The same shortcomings in Neuhaus's evaluation (or rather, lack of evaluation) in other patients was noted with Patient #8 as well.

Furthermore:

In some cases, the patients were, according to [Neuhaus], suicidal. Yet, on not one single case did [Neuhaus] make any recommendations that the patient be seen by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or any other type of mental health behavior. The Licensee simply referred each patient for a pregnancy termination. If the Licensee sincerely believed that the patients were seriously mentally ill, it would seem likely that a treating physician would recommend treatment for these rather serious mental illnesses. Yet, [Neuhaus] ignored these alleged mental illnesses.

This is what you get when an industry is self-policing and answers to no one. Proaborts will bend over backwards to protect butchers like this while screeching 'limits to access' out of the others sides of their hypocritical mouths. Every time they do, they prove once again they don't give a dman about women, only about protecting the abortion industry.

Operation Rescue has been providing in depth coverage of the ongoing Neuhaus debacle. To read more, start here.


It's about time this quack had her lisence revoked.

Prochoice Butthurt Over Irish Anti-Abortion Ad Campaign Continues

Prochoice:

The billboards show either a picture of a woman or her foetus symbolically torn in half above the tagline: "Abortion tears her life apart. There's always a better answer."

The ads, produced for anti-abortion group Youth Defence and appearing across Ireland, are not only scaremongering but untrue: the majority of women who have had an abortion say that in retrospect it was the right decision. Yet, there is nobody for pro-choicers to complain to about this fact, given the Irish Advertising Standards Authority's decision that the billboards, being neither commercial nor overtly political, fall outside its jurisdiction. Protesters have taken direct action – writing pro-choice messages on the posters, throwing paint, or tearing them down.

Protesters question the need for the ads as abortions are illegal in Ireland, except when a woman can prove she would die if forced to give birth. The ban has led many women who can afford it to come to the UK for an abortion. Figures for 2010 reveal that 4,402 of the 6,535 non-residents having a UK abortion had an Irish address. So it is particularly cruel, then, that the posters appear at Dublin airport, shaming women as the law forces them to go abroad for a right to choose.

Prolife:

Abortion campaigners are currently in a tizzy about a new pro-life awareness campaign produced by Youth Defence and the Life Institute. They’re orchestrating complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority and issuing press statements describing pro-life billboards as “offensive”.

So far, so predictable; though it’s always ironic to see just how intolerant of free speech these self-styled liberals and left-wing activists are. Abortion advocates don’t like the campaign because it does something that is usually avoided in most public discussions on this issue: it brings the reality of abortion into focus.

The campaign simply says that abortion tears lives apart, and uses torn photographs for emphasis. The adverts were inspired by a woman who said that after her abortion, she felt as if her life, as well as that of her unborn child, was torn apart.
There are many other women who feel the same. One woman wrote on our website this week that she had an abortion last year, and that she has deeply regretted it ever since. She said: “I made a mistake of turning to the wrong people for advice in a time of need. Although it pains me to see these posters (I passed by nearly 4 on Saturday) I am glad they are there and hope they may help even one person to re-consider and not go through with it.”

We’ve had scores of similar emails and messages since the Better Answer campaign began. The trauma they detail is usually dismissed by abortion campaigners. Instead, they claim that our awareness campaign is offensive, and wish to have it censored.
But while a message may offend abortion supporters, that is not to say that the message is, in itself, offensive. Crucially, our experience during the campaign this far is that the public is supportive of the campaign, which was designed, produced and organised by volunteers.

‘Medieval solution’

We contend that there is always a better answer than abortion – and we should work to terminate the crisis and not the child.

In fact, Ireland’s experience has shown that our pro-life ethos has best served both our mothers and babies. The United Nations rates us as the safest place in the world for a mother to have a baby, and our top experts say that they can care for mother and baby without recourse to abortion.

As Professor John Bonner, the Chairman of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, told a Dáil committee: “It would never cross an obstetrician’s mind that intervening in a case of pre-eclampsia, cancer of the cervix or ectopic pregnancy is abortion. They are not abortion as far as the professional is concerned, these are medical treatments that are essential to save the life of the mother.”

Recently, a collection of research studies published in a special edition of The Lancet medical journal found that women who developed cancer when pregnant did not need to abort their baby, delay their own treatment, or give birth prematurely.
 Commenting on the findings, researcher at the French Institute Gustave Roussy wrote that recommendations to abort would be an “unacceptable error”.

So we know that abortion is not medically necessary: and we also know that Irish abortion rates have now fallen by more than 30 per cent because of increased information and better support for women in crisis.

It would be entirely contraindicative then for Ireland to resort to the medieval solution of abortion. The government is currently awaiting the recommendations of an ‘expert committee’ which will look at the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in the ABC case. This campaign reminds Fine Gael of the public committment they made during Election 2011 to uphold Ireland’s ban on abortion.

It’s worth noting that the Labour Party’s preferred alternative is to introduce the British model of abortion provision: which has led to abortion on demand, provided through all nine months of pregnancy if the baby has a disability, and leading to the abortion of more than 90 per cent of unborn children with Down Syndrome. This is not a humane response to crisis pregnancy.

There’s always a better answer than abortion. That’s the message of this campaign. It’s a message that will not be censored.

"It brings the reality of abortion into focus." And that prochoice simply cannot handle. Very telling that prochoice consistently finds the truth so offensive. Truth is hate to those who hate truth.

Liberal Utopia Begins in the Womb

Lethal Foresight - Deciding Who Gets to be Born

BreakPoint

On first hearing, it sounds like something out of science fiction: mapping the genome of a person who has not been born yet. But that’s exactly what geneticists at the University of Washington announced that they were able to do.

Their accomplishment has been called a “glance into the future.” But the question is: What kind of future?

Writing in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the researchers described how they reconstructed the genome of an unborn child using a blood sample from a pregnant woman and a saliva sample from the father.

According to the New York Times, they used a combination of “new high-speed DNA sequencing and some statistical and computational acrobatics.” Their accomplishment “heralds an era in which parents might find it easier to know the complete DNA blueprint of a child months before it is born.”

Now, “high-speed DNA sequencing” and “statistical and computational acrobatics” sounds impressive. But this begs the most important question: Why would parents want to know their unborn child’s complete DNA blueprint months before he or she is born?

The specter of Gattaca (the 1998 film about a society in which most children are made-to-order) is so visible in this story that even the New York Times warned of serious ethical considerations; considerations such as the possibility of an “increase [in] abortions for reasons that have little to do with medical issues and more to do with parental preferences for traits in children.”

Not only would fetuses with genetic diseases be aborted, as they usually are now, but the article says “it is also possible that parents may be tempted to terminate if the fetus lacked a favorable trait like athletic prowess.”

Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society told the Times that this technology could “spur questions on ‘who deserves to be born.’” In a similar vein, Dr. Stephen A. Brown of the University of Vermont spoke of a move toward “positive selection” — a euphemism for God-like decisions about who should be allowed to be born.

For all the talk about “better and better prenatal diagnosis,” experience teaches us to be skeptical about where this genetic foresight will lead.

For starters, there’s what happens to unborn children who are diagnosed in utero with genetic illnesses: relatively few of them are ever born. Prenatal diagnosis already functions as a kind of “weeding out” process: Adding “thousands of genetic diseases” to the list, as this new technology will make possible, simply means more dead children.

And, for the foreseeable future, this technology cannot heal anyone — it can only give prospective parents reasons to kill their unborn child. A child made in the image of God.

Anybody who thinks that parents won’t be tempted to turn to their local geneticist for the perfect baby has not been paying attention. We already live in a culture where some parents demand that doctors prescribe a Schedule II amphetamine, Adderall, just to help their kids compete against their peers. And a culture that can’t bring itself to meaningfully condemn sex-selection abortions, at home or abroad, will not stand in the way of parents who want to play God.

All of which makes this “glance into the future” the stuff of science fiction nightmares.

Suction Cannula? Just Like Sex!

Yeah, who'd notice something with a sharp tip and twenty times the suction of a household vacuum ripping off bits of flesh and pulverizing bones? It's just like sex (medical note: if someone's penis is entering your uterus during sex, please seek medical attention immediately). No reason at all unborn babies would react fearfully to a suction cannula-heck they probably like it. Wouldn't you?

Infanticide > Abandonment

What the hell do you think you're doing when you abort? Abandoning your child to the collection jar and the biohazard bag and WALKING AWAY. But, hey, we wouldn't want to disrespect the almighty femininist's choice to kill an accidentally live baby when she wanted a dead one. Abandoning it and letting it live wouldn't be a happy ending at all-it's gotta die to soothe mommy's conscience. Just shuffle it off to the broom closet and let it suffocate. Liberal compassion at its finest. The only happy endings are those feminist approved.

New from WHO - Your Guide to Performing Abortions!

For all you 'abortionists without borders' who long to help women in third world countries off their offspring...





Just reach in there and start tearing off whatever the clamps grab hold of first-keep pulling off limbs-once the body is out, it's just a simple matter of finding the head and crushing it, and boom, you're done.



Who needs ultrasound? Who cares what the gestational age of the baby is, or whether there are multiples, or the potential of health problems in utero-WHO certainly doesn't! It's not good medicine to let the mother see what's about to be destroyed-she might change her mind.



Yeah, who needs follow up care after scraping baby out? If women develop toxic shock, or hemorrhage, hey, at least you warned them, right?

Moronic Quotes - Irish Edition

The following pearls of wisdom submitted by Emily Milne, from Irish prolife group Youth Defence's Facebook page.



Handjobs kill! Circle jerks are mass murder! If you're against slavery, don't own a slave. If you're against gassing Jews, don't gas Jews. It should be totally up to the mother whether she whacks her disabled kid or not. Poverty, disability, any perceived defect are all acceptable rationales for killing-because those doing the killing have no flaws themselves. I find it amusing that those pushing these kinds of fallacies in this country are themselves many times poor college students-under their own guidelines, they'd abort themselves.



Yeah, it's way better to flush your own kid's bodily autonomy. That's true equality. Protip: real rights don't cancel out the rights of others. Sacrificial love and putting others first is the antithesis of prochoice, and completely alien to them.



Yeah, having them torn apart in utero is far less cruel than letting them live, huh. Here's a challenge for all who believe the above: round up some poor and handicapped folks, hold them at gunpoint, and tell them they'd be better off dead. Ask them if they want to live or not, then get back to us with their answers. It's a cruel world, so challenge yourselves to hold your own children at gunpoint too and tell them they'd be better off dead and that it was cruel of you to bring them into such a messed up world. Can't do it? Then why expect it from others? If you think your own kids would be better off dead than with you, what does that say about YOU?

Feminazi Hissy Fit! Fetal Fotoshopping!

Shrieeeeeek! Photoshopping the image of a fetus onto your pregnant belly is BAD FOR (the abortion industry) WOMEN! Slate tells you why...

Of course everyone has the right to celebrate their impending kid however they see fit—we would not have gone the sonogram photoshop route, but perhaps that’s because the 3-D smush face ultrasound printouts we walked out of our OB's office with always could have been titled, “Ben Franklin on a Very Bad Day.” Still, casually and publicly assigning human attributes to not-yet-human embryos—including an avocado-sized embryo in the family portrait—does not seem like the best way to argue against measures that seek to treat that avocado like a member of our collective American family. Our advice: If you’re not, for instance, OK with the movement to dole out harsher punishments to a woman caught smoking pot if that woman is pregnant, then please don’t go superimposing a blunt onto your sonogram to then Photoshop onto your stomach. That’s just tacky.

"does not seem like the best way to argue against measures that seek to treat that avocado like a member of our collective American family" yeah, gee, we wouldn't women to start thinking they're actually pregnant with a baby-that would be bad for them. Pretty soon people might start thinking unborn babies are living human beings instead of pregnancy tissue, then what would happen? OH NOEZ!!!

I'll do ya one better-why not get a tattoo? The following image courtesy of NoBlood, a regular commenter here, who emailed me the tale of a friend who got this tattoo while trying to get pregnant:



In your face, bitchez. "Caring for women" feminists would, of course, be totally cool with you photoshopping WELCOME,SAILORS in place of the scary fetus images. We're all just objects, ya know.

Equal Under the Law?

Unless you're an unborn baby or a conservative - then you can just go die.

The Definition of Life?

In that case, lazy lib slackers sucking off the gubmint titty don't fit the accepted definition of life, either...

No Such Thing as Partial Birth Abortion!

That's why partial birth abortion was banned by the Supreme Court-because it never existed.

Daffodils for Dumpsters

I'm a big fan of fresh flowers and being surprised with bouquets. What woman isn't? I've been watching my latest deteriorate, and it got me to thinking, and now I'm issuing a challenge.

To all you empowered prochoice mothers of the world, please gather up your fresh flowers and give them all generously. Most importantly, give them where they will do the most good. Place a bunch of daffodils at a dumpster near you, perhaps one in which one of you has tossed an unwanted baby, leaving it there to slowly die alone in a pile of trash.

Perhaps you could lay a single rose at the base of a bridge that has been used by a mother to throw her baby into an icy river. Perhaps you can lay it there with hands that have beaten or shaken a baby to death. Please don’t be as short on motivation as you are on compassion and respect for human life. Look at empowered Mommy!! Abortion has improved her life.

Inspired? Good. Now perhaps some of you could place large, colorful arrangements at the abortion centers where women go to have children scraped out and laid to rest in those colorful and attractive biohazard containers that are all the rage in the clinics. Perhaps while you are there you could encourage them to quit calling the procedure an abortion, and start calling it what it is for most of those wonderful mothers that go there - birth control.

Maybe you can lay virtual flowers at your computers to honor all the children that you and your sisters have betrayed by encouraging their mothers to kill them, or perhaps the blossoms could be placed in your child’s room, providing any of them survived your own choices.

Perhaps you could place some geraniums at your local fire stations, where the babies that managed to dodge the dumpster get dropped off for whatever life awaits them at the hands of strangers.

This is not a request for some mothers, or a percentage of them, but all of you. In fact, you don’t even have to be a mother. If you have a uterus, the blood of all those children, who are abused far more at the hands of women than men, has stained your skin and caked around the cuticles of your fingers.

If you are a mother, particularly one of the many abusers, or just one that has remained silent as your sisters have dismembered and tossed away the most defenseless among us, then I hope to see those flowers in your murderous hands, paying homage to those that have been unfortunate enough to be placed in your path.

What is that, you say? You have treated your children and all children well? You have never done anything at all to harm them and never would?

It doesn’t matter. This is the age of equal opportunity for collective guilt. If I were a male college freshman, I would be marched into an auditorium by you on day 1 where I would attend an orientation lecture called “She Fears You,” a class that lets all men know they are potential rapists, and that they are being watched. The only qualification for mandatory attendance is a student I.D. and a penis.

In Daffodils for Dumpsters the vagina gets you in, and you don’t really have a choice. Thanks, feminism, for nothing.

Seriously, isn’t it time we herded all women and girls around a model dumpster and made them paint “No Babies Here!” on the side, over and over again? Maybe we should get them all engraving kits on Mother’s Day, and have them spend a day at a surgical supply manufacturer engraving “Not for Babies” on the blades of scalpels? Or maybe some volunteer hours at a pahtology lab, reassembling the bodies of the aborted? How about we prolifers walk up to you on college campuses and ask you, as a woman, to wear a black ribbon to protest all the young life snuffed out at the hands of people in your group? Remember, black goes with anything, so it might even become a fashion statement!

If this seems a little harsh, I will pass it on to the next self proclaimed slut I see wearing a pair of high heels and a red dress, marching down the avenue with a sign protesting violence against women. Or maybe one of her companions will listen and hear a little more about the group of killers she is “protecting.”

Remember ladies, you do the killing, you pays for the flowers. It’s all about your empowerment.

Now, do I really mean all this? Yes. It is not that women deserve to be collectively regarded as child abusers and killers. Most aren’t. Most are actually very good to their children and can even be trusted with the children of others. But that truth is not what is important here.

What is important is the children, or the principle, or whatever other bullshit we make up to convince ourselves it is not about demonizing women when that is exactly what we are doing.

The fact is that mothers are more dangerous than fathers where it concerns children. They always have been. It is only a few percentage points in that direction, but it's more than enough to justify pointing a finger at our entire sex as we all attempt to atone for the unspeakable acts of a minority.

So, suck it up ladies. If you have remained silent or actively participated as the image of the male half of the population has been reduced to that of a depraved threat, then step up and get your flowers. You deserve every last petal, stem and thorn. That's better than your murdered children got from you.

Oh Noez! Required Licenses for Abortion Mills!

Because we 'care' about the safety of women! Let those abortionists do whatever, whenever. Regulations and licenses? Those are for real doctors.
