<p>ABORTION // Fetus &amp; Moron (Photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32645377@N06/5080010428" target="_blank">666isMONEY ☮ &hearts; &amp; ☠</a>)</p>
<p>Sometimes, employing preventative measures such as contraceptives before sexual activity seems to be a bit of a drag. &nbsp;That is why we here at Abortion Now! LLC have pledged to implement a new and improved system for you to organically and naturally rid yourself of potential progeny.</p>
<p><strong>Accurate directions and detailed instructions</strong></p>
<p>The Abortion Now! LLC App will interact with Google Maps to locate the nearest abortion clinic and assign you a &#8220;doctor.&#8221; You will then be sent a code to your cell phone that will provide you with further instructions relating to the procedure and any psychological counseling that might better serve you during this difficult time. &nbsp;Feel free to download the App to your iPhone via Cydia by jailbreaking your fancy new 4s mobile device! (Abortion Now! LLC is not responsible for any legal actions taken against clients who upset Apple Inc. by jailbreaking their phones.)</p>
<p><strong>Certificates and licenses</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upon entering the abortion clinic facility of your choice, you will be addressed by a notary public to certify that you seek to eliminate the precious, potential life growing within your tender womb. &nbsp;Be sure to sign and date all official documents before proceeding to the operation room or you will be fined no more than $3000 in penalties, fees, and additional surcharges. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Your signature will guarantee that the instruments used to annihilate the fetal cells in your body are made of organic compounds and have been thoroughly cleansed and have not been tested on dolphins, seals, puppies, kittens, or dung beetles (only humans). &nbsp;</p>
<p>After the abortion has been executed successfully, you will be advised to walk off any physical pain that may be present. &nbsp;As for any mental trauma, those scars upon your psyche may haunt you for the rest of your natural life. &nbsp;Psychiatrists will be waiting in the lobby before you exit the facility.</p>
<p><strong>Holiday specials, discounts, rewards program, and merchandise</strong></p>
<p>For those lucky enough to have to get an abortion around the Holiday Season, Abortion Now LLC is proud to present our Christmas Rewards and Presents (CRAP) special that will enable you to cash in all the baby clothes, toys, diapers, room decorations and other memorabilia designated for the baby that you no longer want.</p>
<p>Also, if you were going to have twins, just scan the QR code to enroll in our patented Almost a Parent Two for One Sale that will take off up to $50 for one of the twins. (Void if you wish to keep one of the potentials and desire to tell lies to that child about its phantom sibling for the rest of his or her life.)</p>
<p>And every abortive would have been mother will receive a mug, keychain, pens, bumper sticker &nbsp;with the Abortion Now! LLC logo. Some fortunate women will get our 100% alpaca blend, free-trade, tie-dye, top with the phrase, &#8220;I just had a permanently life-altering experience by aborting my potential child and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Abortion Now! LLC thanks all of our participants and affiliates and hopes that the world will be a more peaceful place with fewer people walking about. Amen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the reelection campaign is closing, I have something personal that I want to say regarding the abortion issue. I do not believe that you should get &#8220;free&#8221; abortion services as given by Obama&#8217;s Planned Parenthood. It is a waste of taxpayer money.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Planned_parenthood_supporters.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/30/plannedparenthoodsupporters_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="810" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Supporters of Planned Parenthood (Photo credit: <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Planned_parenthood_supporters.jpg" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Instead, you should PAY for it yourself if you wanted an abortion. Although I generally leave the issue to women&#8217;s right to choice (PRO CHOICE), but I do not believe that women should get abortions for free, tax-funded services. Such vices should be responsibly paid by individuals themselves.</p>
<p>If women continue to receive the services for free, how about men? We want FREE beers!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Anne Walshe is an abortion clinic administrator whose clinic performs 16,000 abortions a year. Half these abortions are late-term.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Late-Term abortions are controversial even among pro-choice people. Once an unborn baby can live outside his mother&#8217;s womb, most people are very uncomfortable about aborting him. Unborn babies have survived being born prematurely as young as 21 weeks, and viability &nbsp;(the time when unborn baby is considered able to live independently of the mother) is generally accepted to be at 24 weeks. However, abortion is legal even after this point. Abortion in the second trimester, and even in the third, can be practiced throughout the United States and other countries. Roe versus Wade legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy while allowing states to enact restrictions on late-term abortion as long as a woman&#8217;s health was not endangered by the pregnancy. However, the court defined health very broadly, to include mental and emotional health. This means that, essentially, there are no legal barriers to prevent a woman from getting a third trimester abortion anywhere in the country, even in states that have laws on the books against them. All she has to do is maintain that the abortion is necessary to preserve her mental health, and there was no legal way to prevent her from killing her third trimester unborn baby.</p>
<p>Anne Walshe defends the women who come in to her clinic to abort their babies in the second and third trimester. She says:</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the difference? Abortion is abortion. The nice folks who are debating this, who want to draw the line and put a limit on gestational age, will just be putting a restriction on poor women. Women who want abortions get them. It will just force the poor women back to unacceptable remedies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ultimately,&nbsp;Walshe is correct about there not being much difference between an early abortion are late abortion. Each one ends the life of an individual in the womb. The unborn baby at three weeks is just as alive as the unborn baby at three months, which is just alive is the unborn baby nine months, which is, in turn, just as alive as the infant that has been born. It is the same child in different stages of development &ndash; whether it is one day old, one month old, or one-year-old, is the same individual who has been conceived and whose life is ended violently in an abortion.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Gail Hamilton wrote a book on abortion that criticizes the feminist viewpoint that abortion is good for women and vital to women's rights.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The book was interesting, but I had a few problems with it off The bat.</p>
<p>The book was on feminism, but it was ironically published by a company called Family of Man. predictably, she promotes the conservative party line. She quotes liberally from publications of Focus on the Family, and though she claims to be a feminist in several places, she freely says that a man should be the head of the family. Most of the arguments she gives about abortion are the standard conservative arguments that everyone has heard many times. she is clearly threatened by feminism and repeatedly speaks out against sex outside of marriage and homosexuality. She seems to believe that any sex outside of marriage is inherently destructive and harmful to the people who engage in it &#8212; although of course she cites no studies or statistics to back up this claim. There isn&#8217;t much original about this book. The only good and interesting parts were her discussions of the women she dealt with in the crisis pregnancy center that she runs. She talked about a number of women who came in with difficult pregnancies and discusses how she helped them find alternatives to abortion. She also tells a very interesting true story of a woman who was a former abortion clinic worker and left due to the interventions of pro-lifers. The rest of the book was the pretty standard arguments against abortion. I am pro-life, but this book really highlighted the differences between my own beliefs and the traditional pro-life movement. I come at the abortion issue from a Liberal, human rights standpoint &#8212; I feel that science teaches that life begins at conception, and that therefore, abortion should only be a tragic last resort. My stand has nothing to do with religion, and I support gay rights, sexual freedom, and feminism. this book summarizes the conservative positions on abortion and sexuality very effectively, and if one wants to understand the mentality of women who oppose feminism, this might be a good book to read.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A woman claims that Planned Parenthood talked her into an abortion that she later regretted.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many women facing unplanned pregnancies go to Planned Parenthood expecting unbiased advice and counseling. But in reality, many people who have gone to Planned Parenthood when pregnant say that they have been talked into abortions. Many women say that they have gone to Planned Parenthood ambivalence about their pregnancy, unsure about what they wanted to do, and that the counselors they are steered them towards abortion by telling them about the hardships of having a baby and often lying about the pregnancy and how developed the fetus is.</p>
<p><p>According to Kathy Walker, postabortion women:</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt like my family had no control over anything. My parents felt as deceived as I was; we never really made an informed decision. Planned Parenthood railroaded us&hellip; But nobody ever really asked me what I wanted to do.&#8221;</p>
<p> Stumbled across this woman&#8217;s story of going to Planned Parenthood and being talked into an abortion she wasn&#8217;t sure she really wanted. Planned Parenthood has often been accused of hiding the truth of abortion from women, refusing to let them see an ultraound, and telling them inaccurate information about the unborn baby. See the following video.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Former clinic worker Jewels Green says that abortion clinics fail women when it comes to counseling.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>In a recent article in LifeSiteNews which can be found here&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-abortion-clinic-worker-speaks-out-for-life/" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-abortion-clinic-worker-speaks-out-for-life/</strong></a>&nbsp;clinic worker&nbsp;Jewels Green discusses the counseling she gave women at the abortion clinic where she worked for five years.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Green said that the began working in the abortion business so that she could help the women coming in for an abortion with their decision. She wanted to give them thorough counseling because she herself had had an abortion years ago and suffered serious depression leading to a psychiatric hospitalization afterwards. Therefore, she hoped to make the experience easier for other women.</p>
<p> However, she soon became aware that she and the other counselors at the clinic were not properly equipped to handle ambivalent women. They had little knowledge of places where women could find practical help with things like housing, financial aid, medical insurance, etc. She says:</p>
<p> &ldquo;This is where the pro-choice movement and clinics fail. Sure, we had a little notebook with the names and numbers of two local adoption agencies, but we were never trained or taught how the adoption process works so we could explain it to women. We had the phone number of the local WIC office, public assistance, etc., but again, knew nothing about the process should anyone ever ask for details. If a pregnant woman wanted to learn more about these other choices, the best the &ldquo;options counselor&rdquo; could offer was a post-it note with a phone number hastily scribbled on it.&rdquo;<br /> In contrast, crisis pregnancy resource centers are generally very well equipped to help their clients who are unsure or who do not want an abortion. Many of them offer material items on site as well as referrals for everything from low cost medical care to shelters for homeless or battered mothers.</p>
<p>In a different world, &nbsp;maybe abortion clinics could send their unwilling or ambivalent patients to pregnancy resource centers for REAL help. But this will happen around the time a certain undesirable &nbsp;piece of real estate down South freezes over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/24/unbornbaby20w01_1.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="400" /></p>
<p>Picture: 20 week old unborn baby</p>
<p>I recently read this book:<strong>&nbsp;</strong>Mark Crutcher&nbsp; &#8220;Lime 5: Exploited by Choice &#8221; (Denton, Texas: Life Dynamics Incorporated, 1996<i>)</i>&nbsp;</p>
<p>it has some very interesting quotes in it. Here is one by an abortionist who has been practicing for decades:</p>
<p>&ldquo;On some mornings, I leave my office, and if I turn right I go down the hallway to the [abortion facility] and terminate. I am a destroyer of pregnancies. If I turn left down the same hallway, I go toward the nursery and the labor and delivery unit and take care of the myriad of complications in women who are in the throes of problem pregnancies- and I do things to help them hold on. It&rsquo;s all so schizophrenic. I have a kind of split personality.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Quoted from Don Sloan with Paula Hertz &ldquo;Abortion: A Doctor&rsquo;s Perspective/A Woman&rsquo;s Dilemma.&rdquo; (New York: Donald Fine INC, 1992)</p>
<p>it is easy to imagine that the effectiveness and compassion of a doctor who saves babies and yet performs abortions may be decreased by the fact that an hour after saving a fetus, he is planning to destroy fetus it must lead to a great deal of confusion in the mind of the Dr. and I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if it had a profound effect on his effectiveness dealing with problem pregnancies. A good reason why women should ask their doctor performs abortions before choosing a gynecologist.</p>
</p>
<p>You have to wonder how a doctor can transition from murdering children to preserving their lives.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Even pro-choice women sometimes regret their abortions.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Much has been said in pro-life circles about the pain many women feel after an abortion. There are many organizations and ministries dedicated to helping post-abortion women cope with the pain of losing their children. Usually, pro-choice groups deny that women regret their abortions, maintaining that women usually feel only relief. In reality, many women do suffer, often after years of denial during which they maintain that their abortion was the best choice they could have made.</p>
<p> In Salon Magazine, one pro-choice post-abortion woman sought advice on how to cope with the pain of her abortion. She says:</p>
<p> <strong>&#8220;In December of 2010 I had an abortion. It has haunted me ever since.</strong><br /> <strong>&hellip; I was pregnant and I chose not to continue the pregnancy even though deep down I desperately wanted a child.<br /> I made this choice based on my relationship with the baby&rsquo;s father, who dropped me off at the clinic and I never saw again, despite having a three-to-four-year, on-and-off relationship. He promised me marriage and more children when we were ready for it, i.e. five or 10 years from now.His last words to me were, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, I&rsquo;ll be back.&rdquo; But that never materialized.</strong>&hellip;.I haven&rsquo;t dated, least of all had sex with anyone, since that day. It feels like a part of me died that day and will never return.&rdquo;<strong><br /> </strong></p>
<p>This testimony appeared on the pro-choice leaning magazine Salon and can be found at&nbsp;http://www.salon.com/2011/07/18/post_abortion_trauma/</p>
<p>It was posted on July 17, 2011. The letter reveals that even pro-choice women suffer from post-abortion grief and sorrow.<br /> For more stories of post-abortion women, go to&nbsp;<a href="http://clinicquotes.com/site/category.php?id=7" target="_blank">http://clinicquotes.com/site/category.php?id=7</a></p>
<p>When pro-lifers fight abortion, we are fighting not just for the babies but for their mothers as well.</p></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Same sex marriage, birth control, and abortion. My thoughts on the subjects...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>North Carolina recently passed Amendment 1 to the constitution that  would ban same sex marriage. This ban also bans domestic partnerships,  civil unions, and more. I believe that the voters who voted for this  Amendment to the constitution were ludicrous. The thing about rights is  that people shouldn&#8217;t vote on them. If all rights can now be voted upon,  can I take away people&#8217;s rights to have a religion and believe a god,  goddess, gods, and/or goddesses? It is asinine if you ask me.</p>
<p>Besides  when it comes to homosexual tendencies, I have to think it is natural. I  have seen it in nature often enough as well as heterosexuality. I also  believe humans are a strain of apes as was proved by Charles Darwin in  his theory of evolution. Still, some people go so far as to make  horrible claims towards their gay and lesbian and even bisexual  counterparts. I honestly don&#8217;t see what same sex marriage will do to  anyone else. That is between the people getting married.</p>
<p>Another  thing that is confusing to me is the way, Republican governors are  waging their war on women. Kansas governor wants to make it so  pharmacies can ban birth control from their stores based on religious  grounds. At least, this is what I understood from it. It makes no sense  to me to be honest. That is like telling women and men to flood our  nation with even more uncared for children. To me, that just isn&#8217;t  right. Every child that is born should be well provided for, at least  with the basic necessities.</p>
<p>As for abortion, shouldn&#8217;t that be left to a woman to decide whether she wants to keep the fetus or not? We all know that most men don&#8217;t want to take the responsibility of being a father to a child and women are stuck with a child. After all, women are the ones that carry a baby in their bellies for up to nine months and then push it out of their vaginas if they choose to have children. Men only put the sperm in and don&#8217;t do much of the work. So, with this in mind I firmly believe it is up to a woman whether she wants to keep a fetus or not.</p>
<p>Of course, these are just my own thoughts on the subject matter. You can disagree or agree and I am not trying to argue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Pro-abortion forces are concerned about one death at a clinic.&nbsp;&nbsp; Those who are truly Pro-life are concerned about that death and millions of others.</p>
<p>When there was an abortion clinic bombing in 2000 the left wing press was ablaze with concern about the one death due to the bombing. I too am very concerned about that death. &nbsp;I counsel no one to take a life without due process no matter how righteous the cause may seem. I except here self defense and defense of someone in mortal danger because time does not permit judicial process.&nbsp; Allow me to state further that if I were on a jury and a person who killed an abortionist was on trial, I would be willing to convict if the evidence pointed to guilt just the same as if they had killed a child.</p>
<p>Allow me to settle some confusion.&nbsp; The word &lsquo;kill&rsquo; in many versions of the Bible is translated from the Hebrew word &lsquo;rastach&rsquo; would be far more accurately translated &lsquo;murder&rsquo;. &nbsp;Most of the newer bible versions in fact use the word murder, not kill. &nbsp;Remember that the KJV was translated about 1615 and is contemporary to Shakespeare&rsquo;s writing which most do not understand because of the style and the shift in meanings of words in the last 400 years.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exod 20:13&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Thou shalt not kill.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;(KJV)</p>
<p>But I am also concerned about the deaths that occur at abortion clinics every day. The deaths that are the result of a medical procedure that is successful only if fifty percent of the patients die. These deaths are each arrived at without due process. In fact the rush to judgment that anti-death penalty persons decry when dealing with criminals has become the law of the land as we eliminate any waiting period for an abortion. We have not only taken away due process, we have even eliminated a cooling off period.</p>
<p>These people decry an officer shooting a suspect because the officer is judge, jury and prosecutor no matter what the circumstances. Yet in abortion, the judge, defendant, jury, and prosecutor are the woman who is seeking the abortion. The only role she does not play in the drama is that of the executioner;&nbsp; the abortionist she procures. If we were to offer money to anyone but an abortionist to murder a human being, we would be guilty of a felony. Most of us could easily sit on a jury and send someone to jail for hiring a killer.&nbsp; The defendant&rsquo;s attorney is not present to plead the case.&nbsp; Let&#8217;s get this together, nearly fifty million deaths versus one? &nbsp;(Note: There have been over 1.25 million abortions each year for the last thirty nine years.&nbsp; That is well over fifty million.)&nbsp; &nbsp;And the pro-death forces get concerned when one of their accomplices, a hired killer, legal as his act may be, engaged in the slaughter of innocents dies? But do they blanch if at millions of deaths? They call evil good and good evil.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Isa 5:20-21&nbsp; 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! &nbsp;21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (KJV)</p>
<p>This was predicted by Jesus 2000 years ago. He also said that they would say, &#8220;Blessed is she who is barren.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Luke 23:29&nbsp; &nbsp;For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.&nbsp; (KJV)</p>
<p>Another View of Abortion 2/4/2000</p>
<p>I watched Dr. James Kennedy last Sunday and found his discussion of abortion presenting something that I have not heard from anyone else. Just as he was beginning the discussion I saw where he was going.</p>
<p>He likened Abortion to Slavery, in the process it is somewhat similar. I believe that we are in a critical period, one that will determine how our generation will be viewed.</p>
<p>There is a lot of discussion about the issue of slavery and The War of the Rebellion that started in 1861. Those who would continue slavery say that war was for state&rsquo;s rights. What is the reason for their argument? &nbsp;They claim it because Lincoln did not declare the Emancipation Proclamation until near the end of the war. Let us examine this premise.</p>
<p>The events that lead up to the war, the issues that made the conflict inevitable were all tied to the one issue of slavery. The rules for admitting new states, the Dread Scott Decision, the lengthy debates in the legislature were all centered on slavery, not state&rsquo;s rights. The only issue of state&rsquo;s rights was if the state could continue to allow slavery within its borders. There was no other even minor states rights issue.</p>
<p>And if we look at the things associated with the war we see more of the same. The soldiers in Grey were called Rebels, not states righters. The songs of the times were interesting at best. One famous one from that era has a line, &#8220;As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free.&#8221; It is the well known &#8220;Battle Hymn of the Republic,&#8221; sung by the men of the Union and written to the tune of its contemporary &#8220;John Brown&#8217;s Body.&#8221; Both were the result of the times. The newspaper articles of the time were tied to the issue. It divided many.&nbsp; Yes, I read period literature to discern the thought of the time, not the liberal interpretations of them formed years later by people who will lie to prove a point and who have an axe to grind.</p>
<p>Sure, there were those who fought for the rebellion that did so because of home ties and family. They could not go against their families. But there were many who would have looked at conflict as not their thing that fought for the Union. One example is Joshua Chandler, a College Professor, Mathematician and Theologian from Maine. He is one of the standout American citizen soldiers of all time. He had a good grasp of what the war was about, and he was a man that required a cause that was more than a political issue.</p>
<p>But the war brought slavery out into the open and it made it unacceptable.</p>
<p>And Roe v Wade may have been the watershed of abortion if we have the fortitude to make it such. Roe V Wade brought abortion out of the back alleys and placed it on the front page of the newspapers. It took it out of the back room and put it in the store front. Where it was once done in secret, it now could be done in public.</p>
<p>But doing it in public had a price. When it was done in a back alley, nobody but the police noticed and even they tended to call it a victimless crime. A crime where at least one of the two victims die and it is victimless! I think not!</p>
<p>And the price was light shed on it. When something is brought out into the light it is scrutinized.</p>
<p>Roe v Wade made people take a stand. You were for it or against it, there was little fence to sit on. And the fence has gotten narrower and narrower. There is so little room that even politicians, the fence sitting experts have found it difficult.&nbsp; And sitting on the narrow fence is painful.</p>
<p>Without this exposure abortion might have gone on for years in the back rooms without being challenged. With this exposure the doctors (persons) performing the surgery had to come to work in day light and leave in day light. The clinic had to be marked so the victims could find it. And when marked the protestors could easily find it. The victims had to go there in the open.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s face it, all rhetoric aside, many of the abortions before Row v Wade had to be done under reasonably safe conditions.&nbsp; Few women died from the procedures.&nbsp; Even under the so called safe conditions today there are women who die.&nbsp; It is a surgical procedure with anesthesia and both procedures and anesthesia carry risks.</p>
<p>I believe this light on abortion provides us with the opportunity to rid our nation of this scourge. There are many who have left the battle, like the deserters of an army. It is time to be there. Our first duty is to prayer. &#8220;For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.&#8221; Our next duty is to seek God&#8217;s face and determine if this is where we are to enter the ranks. If He does not call you to the battle, support those in battle with your prayers and encouragement. If He does, take your place, but like a good soldier, follow the command of our leader. Let no man draw you into activity that is not Godly.&nbsp; This has happened to those who have committed violent acts.</p>
<p>We have the opportunity with abortion that the people of the 1860&#8217;s had with slavery. It persisted for years before they were able to rid the country of the curse. Let us be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. Let us stand firm and do His will.</p>
<p>And the real slaves of the abortion movement are the women they claim to serve.&nbsp; They are slaves to people who put their lives at risk and hold them captive.</p>
<p>Planned Non-parenthood</p>
<p>The first abortion lie is encountered when the potential client enters the facility. She is not called a patient.&nbsp; This would carry the connotation that she might be undergoing some form of medical procedure or surgery with risk to her life or health. She is a &#8220;client&#8221;, nice, tidy and clean. There is no indication of the blood-letting that will be done before she is through with the &#8220;procedure&#8221;. During it she will lose enough blood to weaken her, generally more than she would lose if she donated a pint of blood &#8211; she will feel tired for weeks, just from the physical impact of the blood loss. This is a procedure that is not without risk.&nbsp; Again, if we were to call it surgery we might just elicit some emotional reaction and the woman might just change her mind. She might realize her life and ability to have children could be in jeopardy (they are) and consider the impact on the life inside her body (it is about to be snuffed out).&nbsp; If she knew this she might just walk out without becoming a paying client. If this were to happen too often the clinic might just have to close its doors. This happened to Hillcrest Clinic here in York, PA and it became unprofitable and was closed by the owners. I personally believe that praying people in the community caused this demise.</p>
<p>A second lie is that what is growing inside the woman is nothing more than a bunch of tissue. This might wash from a physical standpoint for the early first trimester surgery, but the partial birth abortion procedure which kills a child that would be viable if delivered is not distinguished in any way by those who tout abortion as a fix-all. In this later procedure the baby is much more than a blob of tissue, it is viable outside the womb. If it were just let out into the world it would live. Maybe it could be adopted if the woman, a &#8220;higher animal&#8221; had the instinct for keeping her children alive that is inborn in the &#8220;lower animals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Understand, I do not condone or agree with the early first trimester procedure but all of the arguments from the pro-abortion forces in pushing this early pregnancy procedure are contradicted in the partial birth and if you claim it to be the same you impeach yourself. In early first trimester they say the fetus is not viable outside the womb, it does not feel, it is a part of the mother&#8217;s body, and it is not a separate living human. So it is OK to kill it. Let&#8217;s give them that this is the case. Partial birth FLUNKS on all counts yet they make no differentiation between the two procedures. We see the pro-abortion forces caught in their own rhetoric. They find it easy to strain on a gnat and swallow a camel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Matt 23:23-24</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (KJV)</p>
<p>Jesus tagged it well. He called those who had this myopia Blind Guides.&nbsp; They claim to do good but they ignore the weightier matters of the law. The people who run and promote the abortion mills are such.&nbsp; They claim to be getting someone out of a problem.&nbsp; In the movie &#8220;COMA&#8221; a young woman dies during a D&amp;C that is only necessary because the woman is pregnant with a baby that is the result of an affair.&nbsp; The doctor jokes early in the procedure that he is getting the lady out of a real mess.&nbsp; Although this is a piece of fiction, it poignantly displays the attitude that is held by the people who provide these services for women.</p>
<p>A third and bigger lie is &#8211; the procedure is safe. If all risks to the non-mother, including increased breast cancer, increased suicide, infection, anesthesia risks, bleeding and other complications are considered, even a &#8220;simple early first trimester abortion&#8221; is a real risk. Even the threat of sterility that can occur has a health risk, the drugs and procedures necessary to later conceive a child all carry risks. All too often, a woman who has undergone an abortion changes her mind AFTER the procedure and gets pregnant (if she can) later.</p>
<p>The next invalid argument of the feminists is as follows. If you find yourself pregnant, (as if you had nothing to do with it and one morning something miraculous had happened to create this situation) and it is not convenient to carry and birth a child at this time, abort the baby, you can have another when it is more convenient. How many women do you know who have had a failed pregnancy through no fault of their own, who have never been able to become pregnant again? (I&#8217;ll answer that, &#8220;all too many.&#8221;) Why should someone expect to abort one fetus and be entrusted by God or nature if you don&rsquo;t believe in God, with another? Two significant risks of abortion are sterility and bleeding that requires drastic surgery to save the woman&#8217;s life. If the uterus is badly damaged, that surgery is called a hysterectomy, surgery that at our present level of medical expertise renders the woman permanently and totally unable to have children. We may come to a point that uterine transplants are viable, but that is not the case at this time.&nbsp; The last time I checked there had been one experimental uterine transplant and it had to be removed before a pregnancy was achieved. &nbsp;I am sure some day we will do it successfully but at what cost?&nbsp; Will the average woman be able to afford it?&nbsp; What risks will she take having the procedure? For the &#8220;fortunate ones&#8221; who contracted infections, infertility clinics are making real money on women who believed that lie when they were fifteen and now at thirty they cannot have a child without medical intervention. It is interesting that the same practitioners that kill babies with the procedures that render women less fertile then benefit from procedures that help them have babies!&nbsp; Still others are less fortunate.&nbsp; There is no procedure to help them have a child. The old adage was pay me now or pay me later. In abortion it is pay me now and pay me later, for the surgery now, for infertility treatments, for depression, for bareness, for breast cancer later.</p>
<p>The forth lie &#8211; abortion is a right. It is not a right, it is not mentioned in the constitution, EVEN THOUGH THE PRO-ABORTION people say it has existed since long before that document was written. I could understand something being called a right that did not exist when the framers wrote the document, that they would not known about but for some reason they did not include abortion in the list of rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&nbsp; Abortion is big business, and moreover is one of the current methods of exploitation of the females in our society. The person who controls abortion controls the body of the woman who is enslaved to the procedure.&nbsp; It is an enabler for men who want free sex in that they can tell the woman, if it goes wrong you get an abortion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Often this exploitation of women is by other women. Abortion became a right based on a court case that was a lie. The Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal was based perjury by many of those who testified. There are more than a few people who perjured themselves to make this a reality. This certainly does not make the cause more just! Can pure water come from a well that is polluted?&nbsp; Even the courts use the term, &ldquo;fruit of the poisoned tree&rdquo; to describe evidence improperly obtained.&nbsp; If evidence can be poisoned by improper action, why is a case based on lies not likewise poisoned?</p>
<p>There are some in the pro-abortion forces who feel abortion must be preserved at all cost. One well known feminist leader said that if abortion were outlawed, &#8220;blood would run in the streets.&#8221; This sounds to me like a threat of armed insurrection. The right to advocate such is not protected by free speech defined constitution. Nowhere is the right to break the laws of the land protected. I suggest that these be investigated for racketeering or terrorism.</p>
<p>When former NOW president Molly Yard heard that the Supreme Court would review Roe v. Wade in its Webster case, she said on January 8, 1989; &#8220;We are now declaring a state of emergency for the women of America. We will not go back to illegal abortions. We aren&#8217;t going to obey the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Such is the immorality of the pro-abortion forces. Such is their blindness to right and wrong. They lie, and they not only advocate disobedience of a law, they advocate ARMED and VIOLENT overthrow of the government.</p>
<p>The fifth lie &#8212; The people promoting abortion are good people who want to help women who have a problem. (See Molly Yard&#8217;s statement in lie 4, is she considered an example of this?) This may be true in a few cases, but there are those who have run for-profit clinics under shoddy conditions to increase profits. The state of Maryland closed several such clinics in the 80&#8217;s and Pennsylvania tightened rules on clinics&nbsp; in 2011 to match those for other surgical outpatient clinics. The abortionists yelled like a stuck hog.&nbsp; There are also government funded ones, clinics that get government money to exist. The abortions may not be paid directly out of taxpayer funds, but many other services that help make them viable are paid for by tax monies, the abortions are a part of the services offered. Consider these economics. If a clinic has 1000 pregnant &#8220;clients&#8221; this year and gets &#8220;X&#8221; dollars, and the director&#8217;s salary is based to some degree on the budget amount so she knows if the budget increases she gets a raise, (In government it is) is it better for the director to have 1000 or 2000 pregnant clients next year? Let&#8217;s rephrase the question, &#8220;Is it better to teach abstinence and/or good birth control so the &#8220;client&#8221; doesn&#8217;t return or is it better to have the client return in a few months with another &#8220;problem pregnancy&#8221; that increases the workload?&nbsp; I think anyone can figure that out.</p>
<p>Lie number six &#8212; We need abortion to help a woman who is a victim of rape or incest. FINE, let&#8217;s pass the law to allow abortion only if the woman wants it and if she is a victim of rape or incest. This situation accounts for less than one percent of the million (1,000,000) abortions each year. One percent of one million is ten thousand (10,000). A million is about 3000 babies a day, ten thousand is about 30 a day. The one is big business, it is mass murder. Although I do not think I could not condone it, the other is compassion for someone in distress. I personally would settle for this decrease in the slaughter, as a temporary measure, IF IT WAS STRICTLY BASED ON A CONVICTION OF THE CRIMINAL not a lie.</p>
<p>Lie number seven &#8212; We need abortion to help a woman with serious medical problems terminate a pregnancy that threatens her life. Again, this is a very small percentage, far lower than the one percent above. Here I feel we must leave the decision to the advice of the doctor and the conscience of the mother. The percentage is small and every day fewer medical conditions contradict the continuation of a pregnancy. If this were really the reason the number of abortions in the US every year would be measured in hundreds, not millions.&nbsp; Although these are still hard for me to accept I could not prevent one of these abortions or even pressure the woman to take grievous risks.&nbsp; That must be her decision.&nbsp; But ironically, many women with serious medical conditions do almost anything to carry their baby.</p>
<p>Lie number nine, also called by me, the big lie &#8211; If abortion is made illegal, women will be forced into the back alleys to have them and be butchered. They ignore that birth control methods and distribution are better, the number should be smaller than it was before, that is unless all of the arguments by organizations like Planned Parenthood are not correct. But it is appearing that these measures are not working and in fact the efforts of Planned Parenthood and their fellow travelers could be better be likened to pouring gasoline on a fire.&nbsp; The more they spend to reduce teen pregnancies the worse the numbers get. &nbsp;First, pregnancy prevention devices and medications have to be deployed if they are to be effective.&nbsp; Second, there is one sure way of not getting pregnant; not have intercourse.&nbsp; But for these people that concept is so foreign it isn&rsquo;t considered.&nbsp; After all, there are choices.&nbsp; Women and men can decide to not have sex outside marriage which is the root cause of most unwanted pregnancies.&nbsp; They can decide to deploy birth control by taking pills, using condoms, foam, etc.</p>
<p>But they say that millions (thousands, tens of thousands, depending on who is talking) of women would die each year at the hands of the illegal abortionists. Come on, we are having only a million and a quarter abortions a year with abortion being legal. Will we have more abortions if it is illegal? &nbsp;I think that what we are hearing is rhetoric. We have no statistics on how many died of botched abortions before Roe vs. Wade and we don&#8217;t not know how many die today.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because the death certificate does not show complications of abortion, it shows hemorrhage, infection, anesthesia reaction, heart failure, or suicide. This is done to protect the illusion that abortion is legal and safe and to protect the abortionist.&nbsp; There is no statistic on infertility and sterility that point to abortion because a woman&#8217;s right to have an abortion is private and it is protected from being passed to develop statistics. The pro-abortion crowd has made it impossible to know how many they have maimed by laws that prohibit release of information that would provide these crucial statistics. If they did not believe the numbers to be bad, why do they fight their release?</p>
<p>Finally, the tens of thousands of deaths argument has one killer problem.&nbsp; Let&rsquo;s suppose that there were ten thousand deaths of women to illegal abortions. &nbsp;That would mean that for the ten years between fifteen and twenty five there would be roughly a thousand deaths a year per year of age in the years before Row V Wade, that is before 1973.&nbsp; And more so, between 1972 and 1975 there should be a reduction in deaths of women in those ages.&nbsp; There isn&rsquo;t.&nbsp; The death rate in the US for women in the 15 to 25 age range is low enough that even a change of 100 would have been noticeable.&nbsp;&nbsp; Another lie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let me ask the question, if we have to lie to preserve something, is it valid?</p>
<p>Let me give you some Abortion Definitions</p>
<p>Successful surgery &#8211; A procedure during which exactly one half of the patients die.</p>
<p>Therapeutic Abortion &#8211; One done for the convenience of the mother and to enhance the financial future of the doctor.</p>
