Hard Cases that don't add up

https://splinternews.com/these-women-needed-late-term-abortions-and-they-want-tr-1793863135

This is full of information which doesn’t add up. Pessimistic, ignorant doctors seem to have pushed these women toward killing their little ones. Please read on.

Susan’s pregnancy - the baby could have been delivered alive and received loving touches and kisses before he passed instead of the painful stab in the chest. Why did the doctors not tell her that? Because they are abortion-oriented and think of the fetus as a nothing.

Elise: I’m horrified! Pain receptors are present well before 22 weeks! “22-week peaceful termination!” Oxymoron, as abortion is always a violent act. Again, the doctors thought of the sick baby as a nothing. I never heard of intrauterine surgery damaging the uterus. An incision is made as in a c-section. I think the doctor didn’t know much here.

Aislinn. The baby had a serious disability and could have been delivered by c-section, early if there was a fear of damage to the uterus. (but I have never heard of that) I have a relative with arthrogryphosis. He’s a CPA and a writer of some talent, and has a wry humour. He is severely disabled physically, but that doesn’t mean he should have been killed. Why can’t our world embrace the disabled? Why does health care and home care cost so much?

Valerie: Again I don’t understand why these poor ‘incompatible with life’ babies can’t be delivered alive and experience loving touches, instead of meeting cold, hard instruments and stabs in the chest. And Docs have often been wrong over and over about ‘incompatible with life’ diagnoses. Some die at birth, yes, some live a few hours, months, even years. Some have been misdiagnosed.

Comment the Indo wouldn't publish

I would have thought that as a midwife who campaigned for the 8th in 1983, I might have had something relevant to add to the conversation, but evidently the Indo thought not. The allegation was that the Church told people how to vote in 1983. 

A comment to the article http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/prolife-campaigners-were-thinking-way-ahead-on-the-eighth-36204734.html 

The Church didn't tell me 'how to vote' in 1983. As a teen in the 1970's I saw photos of dead babies in buckets  & babies dead from chemical scalding.(That was so horribly cruel it does not bear thinking about  - and they still do intrauterine infusions some places!) That told me all I needed to know about 'Choice.'  In 1983 I was a young midwife who campaigned for the 8th with my colleagues because if we were looking after a pregnant woman we had two patients and it wouldn't be right to kill one of them, what kind of care is that?

Between then and now, the unborn child has been DEHUMANISED by the abortion lobby, Well Done!. But it's not progressive, it's regressive, and History will judge 'Choice' very harshly indeed. There are more humane ways of helping women in crisis pregnancies.

There are official statistics and countless testimonies of abortion staff in USA, Canada, UK, Australia of babies born alive after abortions and left to to die, cold and alone. (Actually Dr. kermit Gosnell severed their spines with scissors)  Presumably many of these unfortunate survivors were disabled, maybe Downs Syndrome. We can go down that road if we want. Personally I think it's against everything civilised and decent. Every baby, disabled or not, child of rapist or not, deserves tender touches, not graspers and high-guage needles. But as former abortionist Dr. Kathy Aultman said: Anytime you take a group of people and consider they are non-human, you can do anything to them.' (from clinicquotes.com, a wake-up there website which quotes women, doctors, nurses, clerks and even one of the few survivors.

THURS EVENT CANCELLED BY HOTEL

SPENCER HOTEL CANCELLED, DUE TO PRESSURE FROM REPEALERS

COPIED AND PASTED from a friend's FB message: (sorry I can't get the highlighting off, it's annoying I know)

Please try and attend one of these talks and show your support for these inspirational women. These brave women will now speak at the Spencer Hotel, Excise Walk, IFSC, Dublin 1 on THURSDAY, Sept 28th at 8pm. The Gibson Hotel cancelled because of protest threats from pro-aborts who want to silence rape survivors because these women are calling for a BETTER answer than abortion. The Cork meeting remains at the Silver Spring Hotel at 4pm Sunday. These women know at first hand the trauma of becoming pregnant from rape, and the stigma attached to children who are conceived in this way. They say that women like them they are too-often silenced by the stigma and shame they feel, and that only the rapist, who is a criminal, should feel this stigma. Shauna Prewitt was in her senior year in college when she was raped. Nine months later, she gave birth to a baby girl. “We live in a culture where children who are conceived in rape are still spoken of in terms of an animal's child, a monster's child. She is not a monster’s child, she is my child. She's wiped away my tears when she didn't understand why I was crying and has just been with me through the darkness," she says. Jennifer Christie was on a business trip when she was attacked by a serial rapist. She says that the pain was immense – and that the lack of understanding as to how to best help her through the trauma was devastating. “My child had nothing to do with the attack on my body or the scars on my soul. He had everything to do with my healing -- giving me a reason to hope. I did not save my son. He saved me. I am not raising a ‘rapist's baby'. I am raising my baby,” she says. Rebecca Kiessling was conceived in rape. She explains: “I was conceived in rape ... I am no less of a human being, worthy of love, and deserving a right to life. She says that society’s misconceptions and lack of understanding forces women and their children to feel stigma and shame. “The only person who should feel shame is the rapist,” she says. “My mother was innocent, as was I. The rapist is the criminal who should be punished.” These women will speak as guest of Unbroken Ireland at the “Ending the Silence: women impacted by pregnancy from rape speak out” meetings in Dublin and Cork as follows: DUBLIN: The Spencer Hotel, IFSC Village, Dublin 1. Thursday, 28th September, 8pm. CORK: Silver Springs Hotel, Tivoli, Cork City, Sunday, October 1st, 4pm.

Trolling for Truth

http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/cmp/investigative-footage
/

I just got under Kilkenny For Choice skin by telling them the TRUTH. I see they have now disabled comments. They just took away my comment in answer to their praising the Gardai for removing Youth Defence posters. All my Truthful Comments are GONE. And I was nice!!!!!!!

My comment:
These images have been around. We know that abortion clinics harvest organs from fetuses, for instance, that is no secret. They have to deliver intact bodies. Now as Dr. Deborah Nucatola said 'We have to crush above, we have to crush below' that is, the body part they need - liver, heart, etc. She is on tape saying this and Planned Parenthood with whom she worked were forced to issue an apology. To harvest the cranium, they have to cut through the face. You see, when you dehumanise, you can do ANYTHING to the being you are dealing with. Have a look at these videos. You will know you have been deceived. I am not blaming you - or any Repealer - some people very close to me are Repealers - but they and you are not aware of the Truth of what you are campaigning for.

The Pioneers didn't battle hardship for this

Terri Schiavo took 13 days to die.
 Michael Schiavo was Terri's husband
who won the court case to 'allow' her to die.

Now that it's legal to kill an unborn child in Oregon for the entire nine months of pregnancy, for free too, Oregon lawmakers are moving on to the elderly suffering from dementia.

The State Senate passed a Bill - SB494 - in the last legislative session. This re-interprets Advance Directives made by the patients when they were in health.

In this (also called a Living Will) there is an option to check a box labelled 'I do not want tube-feeding'. This is usually interpreted to mean that if a patient is in a 'vegetative state' (a term I dislike but it's common usage), they don't like the idea of being 'kept alive' by being fed through a tube going into their stomach. Every patient is encouraged to make an Advance Directive, and many check this box. But what's very clear is that it says: TUBE-FEEDING.

Oregon Nursing Home resident Nora Harris suffers from early onset Alzheimer's disease. She is  awake and eating. Maybe she has forgotten how to feed herself, or her fine motor skills have declined, for she is fed by spoon. When she was well, she had checked the above box, and her husband brought a case to court in an effort to stop the spoon-feeding. The Judge in the case regretted that she could not grant his application. I read a sad account of what Nora is now compared to the vibrant, intelligent librarian she once was. Yes, it is tragic - but what's even more tragic is that her husband and daughter don't seem to understand the kind of horrible fate she will have if she dies from thirst and hunger. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know - read a couple of books about shipwrecked sailors. It's horrendous. But, you argue, the patient will get 'comfort care.' Yeah, morphine to dull the pain of every organ, every cell in the body slowly breaking up. Morphine makes you thirsty! 'But they'll get their mouths cleaned!' Mouths? What about the thirst in every cell, billions of cells, every one cell crying out - 'Water!'

Stop trusting doctors on this! They have lost their commitment to Life, and starving a conscious and hungry patient to death is absolutely horrendous. It reminds me of the Nazis who, not wanting to spend resources feeding POWs in the Ukraine , locked them up without food or adequate water and left them to die. Sorry, same thing, even if patient gets so-called 'comfort care.'  The body slowly breaking down for lack of food and water must be one of the most prolonged and painful deaths.

It took Terry Schiavo 13 days to die. 'It wasn't peaceful. It wasn't painless,' her brother, Bobby Schindler said.  'It wasn't Death With Dignity.' Later, Bobby had an artist make a sketch from his memory of what his sister looked like as she lay dying. This woman died a horrible, horrible death. (And doctors will tell you to check that box that says 'No Tube-Feeding'!) Bobby Schindler is President of Life and Hope Network.

After Bill Harris lost his case, Oregon State decided to re-examine Advance Directives and the Senate introduced a bill which in fact, if it became law, would mean that a patient's intent in checking the 'no tube-feeding' box could be interpreted to mean no artificial feeding - or, no help with feeding.

This fills me with horror. As a young nurse in Galway Regional Hosptial (UHG now) it was my duty and my privilege to 'feed the helpless' on the wards.  These were generally elderly, they ate and had appetites, some had dementia or were 'confused', some were younger had serious physical handicaps. In the morning, they got porridge and bread and tea from a feeding cup. Lunch was mashed potato and mince meat and vegetables, dessert was a soft pudding, or jelly and ice-cream, always a clean plate! Their teatime was scrambled egg, mashed sausage, or some other easily digested food. Everything washed down by tea, of course. There was one elderly lady in St. Camillus'  Hospital in Limerick, some years later when I worked there for a while - she was over ninety, had dementia, slept all day, and had a wonderful appetite! She was awoken for her meals, was fed by a spoon, and appeared to relish every morsel. Then she went right back to sleep again. To our amazement she had no pressure sores or tender areas on her elbows or heels, her complexion was like a young persons' and we used to say it was because of her good nutrition.

SB494 would stop patients like this from living. One might as well drive them to the High Desert in Central Oregon and leave them there.

Thankfully SB494  did not get to it's 2nd Reading, in the House, because the legislative session ended. But if it comes back, it will be under a new name. It may come back.

Oh beautiful Oregon! The pioneers who crossed dangerous rivers and snowy mountains didn't settle here so their descendants could be starved to death by their own children!

I read some of the submissions from the public, and was disturbed to see the signature of one Catholic sister from Providence Hospital in Portland, approving this Bill. It seems that the Catholic Church does not see Danger coming. I've no doubt this Sister thinks the ethics committee would not do anything inhumane. Very, very naïve. She no doubt trusts the professionals, but we can no longer trust the medical profession to give an opinion in favour of Life. We have had many, many lessons on that.

Strange, sad argument

It's the strangest argument ever; 'My mother should have had the right to abort me' . In making this argument people are dehumanising themselves, and giving their mothers the power of life and death over them. It's a perplexing argument, and I simply don't believe that they mean it.
If so, they are troubled indeed.

Anyone who crawls on backs of disabled children to forward a machine put in place to eradicate them is a particularly heinous person

Letter to Ireland from post-abortive woman

Very well written letter about what is facing Ireland ,if the 8th is repealed from someone who has been through an abortion.

To Ireland With Love
Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Dear Ireland,

You are currently one of the few first world country in which abortion is illegal... yet you stand poised to lose this distinction any time now.

Before you do, I'd like to share a bit of my story. My hope is that hearing narratives of regret from women like me will make a difference.

I had an abortion at 19. I was a single teen mother, involved in an unhealthy intimate relationship. My son was a year old, and the thought of caring for another child whilst alone, underemployed, and uneducated was overwhelming. I ended my pregnancy early in the second trimester. On the first day of my two day procedure the clinician told me there were some anatomy discrepancies showing in the ultrasound, which made the decision easier for me. I have no idea whether this was true, or if they were attempting to absolve me of any lingering guilt. Suffice to say, it worked to confirm my feelings I was making the correct decision.

The following day I drove with a friend through a loud and aggressive pro-life crowd into the parking lot of the clinic, and I entered the office alone.

An abortion clinic is the saddest place you will ever visit.

This can not be attributed to the gravity of the situation. There are a number of serious medical situations which would seem to be surrounded in negativity and depression, yet we see the opposite. Those moments when people are in the midst of distress, they often find the most immense inner strength -- a way of rallying their last ounce of gumption to hold on to their happiness. Even offices where the terminally Ill are treated create affects of joy for their patients -- they honor the person whose life is soon ending with ceremonies highlighting their accomplishments, and encourage special times shared with family members and friends. They recognize even the most tremulous connection with life, celebrating each human being and recognizing their right to be treated with dignity.

Not so much in an abortion clinic.

There, the very substance of personhood is altered. No longer does blind science decide what constitutes a human being, but feelings and expediency do. The waiting room is filled with women waiting to end the lives of their children, and as you look into the eyes of the girl sitting across from you, you see her with the understanding that a unique individual is growing within her body, whose life will soon be over. In another time and place, her baby would be welcomed and celebrated. Now, it's just about finding relief from a problematic situation.

Many women who want abortion to be legalized in your country speak of helping to relieve the suffering of the impoverished woman, or the woman who has received a poor prenatal diagnosis.

The problem with this idea is that the relief felt upon leaving an abortion appointment is a temporary reprieve from a difficult situation.

There is no joy or relief in an abortion clinic. There is only the death of hope.

When you finally do legalize abortion, expect these hopeless offices to begin invading your neighborhoods. Not the upper-class ones, mind you. No one with the financial means to choose would live next door to an abortion clinic.

Your clinics will open in areas of less affluence -- in addition to being offices where hope dies, they will also be a constant visual reminder to the poor that the solution to poverty is ending their children's lives. The poor are less necessary, more expendable than the upwardly mobile, after all.

Two days after my abortion, in a conversation with my grandmother, I learned she had talked my own mother out of aborting me. Her description was "I dragged her out of the office", but this could be hyperbole. Whatever the details, the facts remained the same. I had been given the life I'd denied another human being. This, in addition to the genuine grief I felt immediately following the abortion (as in, regret before I even left the recovery room), sent me into a downward spiral. I did not abuse drugs, sex, or alcohol like many women do. But things changed in how I perceived my role as a mother to my living child. How could I claim to be a good mother when I had chosen to end the life of my unborn child?

It changed how I related to my friends and family. It changed how I chose to deal with myself, when I looked into the mirror.

For decades I internalized the reality of the expendable poor: because the reality was, my children were expendable, and so was I.

Abortion left me doubting my own self-worth, and it left me believing hope was something for other people. I no longer saw myself as someone who could overcome any obstacle. I became someone who never should have been born, and someone who had been so weak as to end the life of her unborn child.

Abortion did not empower me at all.

It grasped the little power I had -- the strength which I had used to extricate myself from an abusive relationship, the strength which had turned me into a formidable single mother..... that strength dissipated within days following my abortion.

In terms of the bigger policy questions you will face when looking at the legalization of abortion in Ireland, the question is begging to be asked: with the thousands of women, like me, who have shared our testimonies of depression, suicidality, drug and alcohol abuse, and unhealthy promiscuity following abortion, is this really something you want multiplied by the thousands in your communities? Do you want a population of poor who believe their ticket to solvency is murdering their offspring? Do you want families weakened by the secret knowledge that they've ended the lives of their children? Women who have looked themselves in the eye and decided they weren't strong enough to rise to any occasion?

We have an abortion epidemic in the US. More black babies are aborted, than born, in some areas. Babies are aborted for any reason under the sun. As long as a woman gets into that office before 12 weeks, her ability to procure an abortion is all but guaranteed. Between 12 and 24 weeks, there are some limitations, but the numbers at this late stage are still quite high. Every thirty minutes in the US a child is aborted. We regularly see news stories of women needing additional medical treatment due to abortion complications, and yes, women are still dying in our clinics.

Contrary to their promises of "safe, legal, and rare", abortion corporations (and make no mistakes- they aren't advocates, they're companies) have pushed for ever more looser, more dangerous, regulations in order to increase their profit lines. Abortion advocacy groups do not operate in the red, no matter how many public health initiatives tell you otherwise.

Abortion is a billion dollar business, you are an untapped market, and you are being manipulated by a slick campaign which positions murder as autonomy in order to hide its ugly underside.

It took me, an individual, decades to recover from my abortion. It took a second crisis pregnancy -- this time one in which my unborn child was diagnosed with a "fatal feotal anomaly" -- before I was finally able to forgive myself. How long will it take Ireland to recover from the potential mass murder of her children? How many decades of corporate profits for abortion providers will it take before they become too politically powerful to fight against? How long before they thoroughly change Irish culture, a culture which idolizes and rests on its Irish mothers, who are known for their fierce protective instincts? Your families are your strength. Abortion destroys the fabric of family centered culture. It is an isolating act. It alters people into something unrecognizable.

I know as an individual, my abortion drastically changed me. I am not the same person I was before I lay down on that table. I never will be, and I grieve for that girl.

You still have an opportunity to "leave the clinic", so to speak. Don't make the same mistake I made, so many years ago. Your children are protected, and you are stronger for this reality. Real strength does not come from the destruction of the weak, but nurturing those who are not able to defend themselves.

Don't give in to the bully politics which tell you Ireland is not strong enough to meet the needs of every mother facing a crisis pregnancy.

Don't give in to the bully politics which tell you Ireland will only be "modern" and "free" by killing its own children.

Don't give in to the bully politics which uses children with disabilities- children like my own daughter- to advance sweeping abortion reform which will leave you with fewer regulations than any other first world country. (Anyone who crawls onto the backs of children with disabilities to forward a machine put into place to eradicate them is a particularly heinous person, and not worthy of your trust.)

You can take care of your people without this abomination. Your women do not need this "freedom". Your families do not need it. Most especially, your future children do not need it. You only need to look to America, with its 60,000,000 aborted children, to understand why.

post-abortive American mother

Marie Stopes Abortion Clinics : Irish woman dies, another Irish woman in...

Love is a Decision more than a Feeling

Sometimes, Love starts out as Duty. Like when you meet your future in-laws. There's no escaping the relationship. Love is a decision, and not always a feeling. Feelings can be unreliable monitors of the future of a relationship, which by its nature, grows and develops with nurture. That's true of parent-child relationships as well. Now, about 'Choice'. Children can't choose their parents. We can't choose our date or place of birth, siblings, relatives, social class, IQ, race, anything. We come into the world like that. Without any choices at all. Is it fair? No, but that's the way things are. Even adults can't choose their co-workers, new neighbors etc. So killing an unborn baby shouldn't be done. It's not fair to give ourselves that power; the baby has none. The unplanned or even unwelcomed child can turn out to be the family's greatest joy when the parents decide to accept the duty of love. They will be repaid 1,000-fold.
