Hillary is wrong on late-term abortion

I can't believe that people still think that you need to keep late term abortion legal to save a mother's life, and that there are politicians ready and willing to proclaim and propagate this outright lie. Hillary Clinton, in the final Presidential Debate, threw this out there with millions of people watching. It was very irresponsible of her to do that, but then she is hand-in-glove with pro-abortion groups. She is not at all worried about informing or empowering women with facts! Of course, Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion lobby are very generous to her Campaign...

The fact is that no doctor would perform an abortion to save the mother's life in any medical or other emergency. By the time he'd have finished the procedure and torn off his gloves, the mother would be quite dead upon the table. Abortions need time not available in emergencies.

If a doctor needs to end a pregnancy in the 3rd trimester, this can be done swiftly by Cesarean Section. It takes 2 minutes from incision to delivery of the baby. Before that, anesthesia has to be provided - and as in any Emergency Surgery, this takes no time at all.

If late in pregnancy the mother is diagnosed with cancer of the uterus, and a hysterectomy is warranted as soon as possible, you still don't have to do a late-term abortion. Uterus and live baby can be removed. The baby can be cared for in the NICU.

Thankfully, it's not an everyday occurrence in a Birth Center to have to rush a pregnant woman in labor to the OR to save her life; but an undiagnosed placenta 'praevia' (in the way of the birth canal) can be life-threatening when labor starts, or a skyrocketing blood pressure can lead the doctors to decide to end the pregnancy with a C. Section.  It doesn't have to be an abortion; baby doesn't have to die, and abortion isn't the treatment for pre-eclampsia.

So Hillary Clinton is quite wrong to suggest that late-term abortions need to be legal to save mothers' lives. Late-term abortions are done for one reason only, to end babies lives. Often, the babies are disabled or sick, and this is why they are killed.

To expand a little on safety and emergency measures in pregnancy. Abortion clinics are not equipped to save mothers' lives if something goes wrong - it just doesn't work that way. They don't have the facilities to deal with massive hemorrhaging or cardiac arrest. In any emergency, an abortion clinic has to call 9-1-1. Any move to change the law to upgrade abortion facilities to include the equipment to save mothers' lives - by upgrading them to Surgery Centers for instance - has been resisted by the clinics themselves. Think Texas, where such a law was passed, and The Supreme Court struck it down. Don't expect an abortion clinic to save any patient's life! They don't want to; they have to spend too much money on equipment, and have properly qualified surgery staff on hand which they have to pay. They don't want to do it. For anesthesia they may use trained assistants, and some have been found using untrained or poorly trained assistants. This is because abortion clinics are not inspected often, for reasons entirely political. Dr. Gosnell's staff and facilities were dangerous and Dr. Gosnell was not an outlier.

A Pro-choice Culture

You've heard the phrase: 'Against Abortion? Don't have one'.  It assumes that abortion is an event that a woman can dismiss after the fact, and that those who oppose abortion are just control freaks or religious zealots.

But a society where abortion is legal  has the following characteristics:

1. It creates a culture where a man doesn't have to take responsibility for the baby. I know a girl whose boyfriend walked away because she refused to have an abortion, and this is common, 'It's your choice' has turned into 'If you choose to have the baby you're on your own.'
2. 'Choice' doesn't really mean a real choice. Most women who have abortions say they had 'no choice' but to do what they did.
3. Coerced abortion is very, very common, and a girl who stands up to her relatives and has the baby has to be very strong. As a young midwife I remember a miserable 17-year old whose mother and aunt made her have an abortion. Personal testimonies are full of tales of coercion.
4. A woman in a crisis pregnancy is in a crisis. When abortion is available, it provides a quick and easy way out of her wish not to be pregnant. But one should never make a speedy life-altering decision in a crisis.
5. Many women regret their abortions, but many keep the grief under wraps. Some become  pro-choice activists, denying their real feelings, and find themselves permanently justifying their action to themselves and denying the humanity of the being that they disposed of. Dr. Carol Everett, a former abortionist, says that the most common reaction in the post-abortion recovery room is the woman saying, often with uncontrollable grief,: 'I killed my baby.' Before that, there was no mention of a baby. A pro-choice society is very uneasy about unhappy post-abortive women and refuse to acknowledge the existence of psychiatric illness following abortion. www.hushmovie explores this.
6. There's plenty of evidence that surgical abortion causes damage to the cervix, impacting future pregnancies, causing extreme prematurity or death through miscarriage. Women are not apprised of the risks to future pregnancies when they sign the consent. 
7. Abortion is an industry with it's own slick marketing. The Repeal movement in Ireland's Republic is funded by George Soros' social experiment. 

There are many other reasons why the above phrase jars, but those are the ones that come to mind just now.

'Can I have my Humanity back please?'

It's very simple, just keep reminding people that in order to kill another human being, you have to dehumanise that person first.
Ultrasounds don't lie. I made a few videos and tweeted them; the response from pro-lifers has been very positive, and from the other side - the usual abuse and name-calling...
Because they cannot argue with the Humanity. There wouldn't be any legal abortion - and certainly not a wide availability of abortion -  if the unborn child had remained a human being in the minds of opinion-makers and policy-shapers (most of the populace have a good idea, but can be swung by a combination of browbeating, bullying, mockery and the rare hard and tragic cases) and I think it shouldn't be too difficult to remind the voting publlic...the truth is very clear...
