Bye Bye Abortion

[Dr. Shane]

Proof that the number of abortions can be decreased without the Supreame Court overturning Roe v. Wade. This is why we need to elect pro-life politicians (Democrat or Republican).

Mississippi: Window into future of abortion debate

This article is a classic example of the slanted press doing selective reporting. Let's look:

The article mentions the governor is a Republican but doesn't mention that both houses of the state legislature are controled by the Democrats and all the anti-abortion laws passed were bipartisan. (Do you think they just overlooked that?)

The article didn't make any mention of the 30 crisis pregnancy centers run by the pro-life movenment to provide loving, viable abortion alternatives. (maybe they didn't think that was important)

The article didn't mention one of Mississippi's abortion clinics was closed because it was caught dumping medical waste in the Natchez Trace. (who cares about that, right?)

Another clinic was closed because its employees were illegally selling drugs! (no big deal, right?)

Two other clinics closed because the abortion doctors lost their medical licenses. (minor issues, right?)

Another was closed after pro-lifers watching an abortion clinic documented how often ambulances would had to take women to the emergency room. That particular clinic was run by a doctor that had been accused of killing his wife and got off with a hung jury. He finally had to close his doors after a husband brought in his wife for an abortion and 18 hours later she died in an emergency rooms. (Now why wouldn't CNN include that in their story?)

They also didn't include the fact that the only remaining abortion clinic is under investigation for multiple charges of the state's 24-hour-waiting-period law and for the clinic using photo-copied couonseling forms complete with teh abortion doctor's signature. (Now how relevant is that to the story?)

The Jackson clinic, which charges $380 for first-trimester abortions, provides the mandatory counseling in group sessions unless a woman requests a private briefing.

"They don't hear a word you say -- they don't ask questions," Thompson said. "They tell us, 'We understand this already. We're not stupid."'

Now look at how CNN reports this. Pre-abortion counseling is stupid and doesn't change anyone's mind. It just makes them pay for a motel and lose a day's work. Does anyone think CNN couldn't have found at least one person whose mind was changed by the counseling and found out why? Does anyone believe that no one has ever changed their mind?

Come on!!! My aunt went to the abortion clinic three times when she was pregnant with my cousin and once even got as far as being on the table and prepped but she changed her mind once the doctor started to touch her. Not all women that go into these clinics have their decisions cast in stone. CNN didn't find anyone because they didn't want to find anyone. Because they are bias and don't want to present an objective report of the story.

Hilary Clinton wants common ground on abortion

Common ground like: 24-hour waiting period? mandatory counseling? parental conscent? government-funded maternity homes?

I think we can find some common ground.

[Dr. Shane]

Today on Meet The Press, Senator Kerry stated that Democrats have to support innititives to reduce abortions and that pro-life Democrats need to be allowed in the party.

Well here is a start.

I heard an interesting program on Focus on the Family about a group who is talking to women who want to have an abortion. They give them a free ultrasound and many, when they see their tiney babies moving around are amazed it isn't just "tissue" and choose to not have an abortion and either keep the baby or give it up for adoption. To see an article on it go to www.family.org/pregnancy/ultrasound/a0034218.cfm

As the abortion debate starts to heat up here in Australia again, a contributor to the Sydney Morning Herald sums it up...

Women have abortions because men have sex with them. Men get a say on abortion when women get a say on castration.

Comparing abortion to castration shows how radical these people are. Castrating someone isn't the same as killing them. I think I would rather have someone castrate me than kill me.

Im wondering, what rights does a young woman have; who is underage and living at home. The young lady is a christian (who make a great mistake and realises that) and her parents are not. She wants to keep the baby and they want her to have an abortion and return to school.
