Moo, If you mean in the UK. I am sorry to
inform you that There is a pro life prayer
vigil outside of the clinic in leeds every
weekend |
Which clinic? The BPAS or the Marie
Stopes? What about the hospitals are there
people there too?
| Quote: |
tr> | the same is true
at most of the larger venue's and there is
plans afoot within pro life circles to
extend them to the smaller ones, hospitals
who offer abortions and Embryonic/ human
emberyonic genetic research
centres. |
I've not heard of anyone in the UK who has
witnessed any form of process when having
thier abs, including myself.
What's wrong with genetic research?
Why would you want to sit outside of
somewhere having no idea why these women
are there? Do you think you know better
than them? Why is that?
| Quote: |
tr> | Just because you
dont hear about it on the news dosnt mean
these vigils dont take
place. |
I wasn't talking about "hearing it on the
news" - my education streaches beyond what
the bbc wants to tell me thanks.
| Quote: |
tr> | There was a bit
of objection from some pro choice members
of the public who called the police, when
they arrived the police told them that we
had cleared it with them. This agitated
the pro choicers who started trouble and
one pro choice person Hit a police officer
the result was that both the pro life and
pro choice members of the public were
arrested. |
Well, whoever started it there is no need
for public disruption over any issue imo
Can you please answer my initial question
"guest"

strange how you are critizing ppl for
being narrow minded but you are so
agressive towards christian ways. i mean-
you find ppl praying annoying?? thats mad
and a very nasty view! you aren't that
open minded after all?? funny but i
expected as much. you expect others to be
open minded and compassionate about women
having abortions but you cant even except
someone for their beliefs??
and also i would also like to point out
that although abortions are sometimes done
for medical/ psychological reasons you
willl find that the vast majority are not.
you will also find that some babies are
forced from their mothers wombs still
alive, covered in horrific bruises from
the contractions that are brought on by
the abortion. it is better that the baby
is crushed to death by these contractions
cos if the poor child does make it out
alive he is left in a metal dish to die,
but even that is more favourable than
having the abortionists scissors stuck
into the nape of your neck (and then
opened) to put you out of your painful
misery.

You've been reading too much pro life
literature. Please read up on the
abortion process from unbiased, reputable
sources.

People praying outside abortion clinics
arent neutral, kind people. They have an
agenda, and it's not to just pray for
people. Don't fool yourself.
And you owe it to yourself to become
educated. I would suggest you read up on
why women get abortions and the procedures
themselves.

During a 6-7 week abortion the fetus is
the size of a raspberry, it is most
certainly not birthed.
PLEASE do educate yourself on abortion
techniques...
How an abortion is performed.
I want to write a post discussing
Abortion, the procedures which are offered
NOWADAYS(like my word?), and how it has
changed in the past 30+ years.
Right now abortion is safe, it is
performed by LISCENSED doctors in sterile
conditions, and is regulated by local
health departments.
Techniques.... There are 3 ways an
abortion is performed in THE US today,
SURGICAL, medications, and "Labor and
delivery induction". Today, abortion is
not known as the PAINFUL procedure it once
was known as. There are Anesthesia options
available at MOST nicer clinics, and more
women take advantage of this extra option.
My abortion was painless 100%. Back in the
1980's, abortion was given a painful
reputation due to the lack of anesthetics
being offered by abortion providers.
**Todays Abortion:
*Surgical abortion is the most effective
way to terminate a pregnancy, and it is
performed with Suction Aspiration which is
applied via a suction curretage machine.
For most early abortions from 4-12 weeks,
no metal insturments are needed inside of
the uterus, ONLY suction is used. Some
clinics offer MANUAL vacuum pumps for an
early abortion from 3 through 7/8 weeks,
and these are not as noisy as the
machines. FROM 12 weeks to about 15 weeks,
the same suction is used, but the cervix
must be dilated a bit large to allow a
larger suction cannula into the uterus.
Some doctors also use an overnight seaweed
dilator for the cervix, which softens the
cervix prior to the abortion procedure
day.This technique can make dilation
easier. FROM 16 WEEKS through--- Whenever
the law accepts, D&E is used. D&E
uses SUCTION ASPIRATION, but there are
metal instruments isnerted into the uterus
to dismember the fetus and ensure ALL
parts are completely suctioned out.
NOTHING IS PARTIALLY BORN.
*** Medication abortion--abortion by
pill** A woman is given a drug to STOP the
fetus from growing, and it is killed
thorugh this process. In 24-48 hours, she
uses another drug which creates
contractions which expel the fetus. the
contrcations last an average of 4 hours.
***Labor and delivery abortion** There are
women who do WANT Their babies, and were
happy about the pregnancy, but they find
out that their baby has a defect. Trisomy
18, Anencephaly, Hydrocephalus, Dandy
walker syndrome, these are only a few
terribly disfiguring diseases whick women
may terminate for. These were wanted
pregnancies, so many women want to hodl
their "BABY" and have closure. Many women
also choose other perosnal ceremonies,
cremation, and even autopsy to see if they
can recieve any new info. Their Labor is
induced with Pitocin, just like any other
labor which is induced. Their membranes
may be stripped, and they will eventually
deliver a stillborn baby. The baby is born
stillborn due to a shot of Digoxin into
the heart. Sometimes the baby has a defect
which causes its head to be filled with
massive amount of fluid, and it cannot be
delivered through the cervix, so the head
is collapsed to allow safe passage. This
is the SUPPOSED PBA technique, which is
highly misunderstood among even pro
choicers.
SO..WHAT about "Back Then"??
Back in the 'day', abortion was done a
little bit differently, and often most
women did not recieve anesthesia, they
were awake. Suction abortion was used, but
D&C via a metal loop currette was
often used as well. Suction is easier, and
it creates fewer bleeding problems than a
D&C with metal currettes would. Later
abortions past 12/13 weeks were done VIA
SALINE Amniocentesis, or Saline abortion.
This was basically a "Labor and delivery"
abortion done in a different way than we
do today, and it carried many risks.
SALINE was inserted into the amniotic
fluid, this would kill the fetus and cause
the woman to soon deliver a stillborn
baby. The fetus was not euthanized
beforehand though, so it is safe to say
that there were live births recorded.
Saline also created risks for the woman
and her health as well. D&E is safer
thah SALINE abortion, and it has replaced
it. SALINE abortion is no longer needed or
performed thanks to better techniques

It's not aggression, it's debating
I have nothing against christians, I was
raised christian and still believe in some
parts of it but that's my choice. I don't
want to push it in the faces of others,
especially those who have made very
difficult decisions regarding abortion.

every single 'social' abortion is
performed due to psychological reasons
(educate yourself on the law regarding
abortions) - have you had an unwanted
pregnancy? Do you know how traumatic it is
when birth control fails and you get
pregnant? I do, I've been there and that's
one of the many reasons I support abortion
for any reason - womans body, her uterus,
her choice.

do you really think looking up abortion
techniques from clinic websites will give
me an un-bias view?> i doubt it. the
views that i typed about how abortions are
carried out (in some cases) are actually
from two sources. abortionists themselves
and assistants that have helped out
durring abortions so i hardly think you
can tell me that it doesnt happen. as far
as feeling sorry for the mothers? in a way
i do- but my main sorrow is for the child
that is dying. i have not been in the
position of birth control failing but i
assure you that if this did happen to me i
personally would not have an abortion. as
far as rapes etc. there is the morning
after pill for these situations and
obviously i feel great sorrow for women in
that postion. i am not a cold person but i
believe that when a childs heart is
beating (from as young as 6 weeks) it is
then a life and only god has the right to
start and end lives. this is only my
opinion, but nether the less it is one i
will stick with and that i believe in!

They are not babies, and they do not feel
pain. That's why we don't mention it.

Who said anything about looking at info
from abortion clinic websites? Look at
neutral, up to date sites for accurate
information.
It's not hard to type abortion into
wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
ki/Abortion
And this site has stories from women who
had abortions. Represented are "good" and
"bad" stories:

Babies can't be aborted, only z/e/f's and
quite frankly no I don't think about it.
It doesn't feel pain, it's not sentient
and it's living primarily off my body so
therefore it's primarily my choice

Nothing in science is unarguale; but it's
far more provable and solid than religion.
If you want something absolute from
science, then even gravity isn't an
absolute. You prove undeniably that god
exists, please.
I'll go find the articles.

"Their report, being published today in
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, is based on a review of several hundred
scientific papers, and it says that
nerve connections in the brain are
unlikely to have developed enough for the
fetus to feel pain before 29
weeks."
"About 1.3 million abortions a year are
performed in the United States, 1.4 percent of
them at 21 weeks or later."
"Most scientists agree that fetuses
probably do not feel pain in the first
trimester, [...] Gynecologists has said
that fetuses probably do not feel pain
before 26 weeks, which is into the third
trimester."
"From the available biological evidence,
it seems very unlikely that a fetus
experiences what we think of as pain before 29 weeks
of gestation," Dr. Rosen said in a
telephone interview. Giving
anesthesia to the fetus could be difficult
and would needlessly expose the pregnant
woman to additional risks, he said,
adding, "Policy decisions should be based on
evidence, scientific evidence, not our
emotional beliefs."
"After studying the medical literature,
Dr. Rosen and his co-authors concluded
that critical wiring in the brain,
between the cerebral cortex and a lower
region, the thalamus, was not complete
until about 29 weeks. Without that
connection, they said, a fetus cannot
feel pain."
"Dr. Eleanor A. Drey, one of Dr. Rosen's
co-authors, said that as an obstetrician
who performed abortions and the medical
director of an abortion clinic, she would
find it troubling to be compelled to bring
up the subject of fetal pain with her
patients. "I would be forced to drag them
through potentially a lot of
misinformation," Dr. Drey said.
"Our systematic review has shown it's
extremely unlikely that pain exists at a
point when abortions are done. I'm going
to have to talk about something I know
will cause the patient distress, something
that by our best assessment of the
scientific data is not relevant.""

Unlikely and probably are not even close
to being proof though are they all that is
being portrayed by the usage of such words
is that no one really knows for sure.
As for providing proof that god exsists
well to be honest i don't think he
does/did.
I think that jesus was a schyzophrenic
really if somebody was to claim to be the
son of god now he would be carted of in a
paddy wagon.

And how does it being unlikley constitute
as being proof that it doesn't?
same with probably that means we don't
know
nothing to do with being pro life or pro
choice just pointing out that if all they
can come up with is unlikley and probably
then it isn't a definite no

Until there is definite proof that an
unborn baby can not feel pain I think it
is better to assume that it can
because that is more humane. Mind you,
even if it is proved that an unborn baby
does not feel pain then that stll wouldn't
make social abortions 'ok' with me.

Well, as most people agree that it cannot
feel pain until the third trimester and
the fact it is not sentient I think it's
fine to assume that it doesn't. The fact
that anaesthetic is used in many abortions
should eradicate people's concerns about
pain though as it is passed through the
umbilical cord

i find it hilarious that you even
entertain the idea that a 28 week old baby
cannot feel pain. when babies are born at
times much sooner than this!! if it makes
you feel better to convince yourself that
these children don't feel anything then go
right ahead.
