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? Rolling Eyes

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:
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:
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 Rolling Eyes
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.

http://w ww.nytimes.com/2005/08/24/health/24fetus.h tml?ex=1282536000&en=968cf2afd484e3c6& amp;ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&em c=rss

"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.

How the hell is this not proof?

You just don't want to face the truth that pro-life is wrong.

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.
