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.
