Abortion?

And then we are told the only "women's health issue" is Abortion.


Republican House Leader Eric Cantor and his Congressional Republican colleagues are honoring the 41st anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision by stepping up their attacks on women’s health care. As he spends his day in Washington rallying with the extreme wing of the Republican party, there is no question that the misplaced priorities of Leader Cantor’s Republican Congress are on full display and their war on women stays strong.

“This is a simple and once again unfortunate case of Leader Cantor and House Republicans pandering to the extreme right at the expense of women’s health,” said Kelly Ward of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Republicans face political trouble at home because the American people want Congress to focus on the economy and on strengthening the middle class, not these divisive and already settled fights on a woman’s access to important medical care.”

I don't mind if women get abortions because of rape and doesn't want a child, but the majority of abortions happen because of stupid teenagers.
 
I think it should be legal for all women who are 21 and over, and married for at least two years. I also think it will not be available for those under 21, unmarried, or divorced women.

It's not a tough issue at all for the 50 states. It has to be partially legal by federal law.

Why?
 
Well I really hate word abortion whether it's in terrible situations, you are basically stopping a new generation from coming I mean your own mam didn't take a abortion when you were born so what's the point of stopping this new generation. I totally dislike the people who take abortion or support it for various reasons.
 
Contrary to the mass media's take on things, this is NOT a new debate.

There has always been a demand for services to end unwanted pregnancy, even before anything resembling modern medical practice was around. In ancient China, mercury was prescribed to concubines with inconvenient pregnancies, taking the metal orally Did induce spontaneous abortion, when it didn't just simply kill the young woman, that is.

Over here, abortions were performed by everybody from midwives to the village physician going all the way back to American Colonial times, law or no law notwithstanding.

If you do a bit of research, you find that the first Anti-Abortion law in the US was passed in 1821 in Connecticut. ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-abortion-timeline,0,7911413.story )

Making abortion Illegal means a return to the unaccredited "back alley" abortion mills where those who are willing to take the chance of ending up in jail will perform the procedure on any women willing to take the chance of ending up dead.

HOWEVER, that being said.

Abortion is Not a reasonable form of birth control as there is the risk of serious complications including excessive bleeding or infection which can put the woman's life in danger, as well as future infertility.

As to the morality of the practice.... You may continue to debate that as long as you see fit.

A Chicago judge has issued a controversial decision to reduce a fine handed down by state health department officials to an Illinois abortion clinic for violations of cleanliness and health codes. The judge reduced the massive $36,000 fine to a mere $77.

Cook County Circuit Judge Alexander White arbitrarily reduced the fine after the Illinois Department of Health (IDPH) conducted a health inspection of the state's abortion providers in 2011. The issuance of the fine was immediately disputed and has been coursing through the courts ever since.

The IDPH cited the clinic for such violations as storing food items in the same freezer that contained containers of fetal tissue, filthy floors, medication dispensing cups filled with crumbs of medication, recovery rooms with rusted walls, and other filthy conditions. The IDPH report also noted that one employee was re-using discarded paper towels on patients.

Worse, the IDPH charged the clinic for failing to perform CPR on a patient who soon died in its care.

Judge White based his reduction of the fine on the claim that the owner of the clinic closed the facilities down and had only $77 left in the company bank account.

However, theclaim that the clinic was shuttered is suspect.

The operator of the cited clinic informed the state that the clinic was closed in November of 2011, but it was soon discovered that only weeks later owner Larisa Rozansky opened a "new" clinic in the same facilities – even using the same website to advertise – without addressing the state's health code violations.

Abortion is illegal in Costa Rica.
This means if a woman is pregnant no matter why, she must not accept it to be done.

Call me a hypocrite im only human. But sadly in this world there are exceptions to allowing abortion.

The obvious first one is rape and forced incest. When a women does not have a choice then im siding with the already born victim.

And of course the mother life is in danger during pregnancy. And specially if the mother already has children. Im siding with the mother in this case.
 
(CNSNews.com) -- Although whites outnumber blacks 2-to-1 in Georgia, black babies are aborted at a rate nearly 2.5 times greater than white babies and comprise 53.6% of the total number of abortions in the Peach State.

An additional 24.3% of the total abortions are of Hispanic and other races (Asian, Native American), meaning 77.9% of the the total abortions in Georgia are of non-white babies -- 22.1% of those killed by abortion are white children.

Those numbers come from the 2010 Abortion Surveillance report issued by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the latest year for data on abortion available from the agency. (The surveillance report for 2011 is scheduled to be published by the CDC in November of this year.)

The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an investigation has found.

Ten NHS trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in ‘waste-to-energy’ plants which generate power for heat.

Last night the Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which health minister Dr Dan Poulter branded ‘totally unacceptable.’

At least 15,500 foetal remains were incinerated by 27 NHS trusts over the last two years alone, Channel 4’s Dispatches discovered.

Nearly one-third of all pregnancies in the city of Detroit end in abortion, a statistic public health officials blame on rising poverty and dwindling access to affordable contraception.

Of an estimated 18,360 pregnancies among Detroit residents in 2012, the most recent year for which data are available, 5,693 ended in abortion, or 31 percent.

During that same year, an estimated 160,219 pregnancies were reported in Michigan, with 22,699 abortions.

That translates into a Detroit abortion rate — the number of abortions by population, including women who weren’t pregnant that year — of 37.9 per 1,000 women aged 15-44. That’s up from 27.5 per 1,000 women in 2001.

It’s a staggering three times greater than Michigan’s statewide rate, which declined from 12.6 abortions per 1,000 women during child-bearing years, to 11 per 1,000, over the same period.

Its murder and the worst excuse to justify it. And easy solution for what counts is to keep the pants on and legs crossed. Then read a book about personal responsibility.
