Jivin J’s Life Links 3-26-10

… Chattaway and Daisy Glazebrook were shocked when their 2-year romance resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, and they arranged for a termination.
But Chattaway became incensed when she sent him a text message saying she had changed her mind.
He then went to her home in Winds Point, Hagley, where he climbed in through a window and attacked her on the doorstep – stamping on her stomach….
DHH investigators found a number of faults, such as facility workers failing to follow proper techniques when pre-filling syringes by storing them in non-sterile zip lock bags. This failure put patients at risk of bacterial and septic infection, the report claimed. Investigators also found the clinic failed to properly document and monitor vital signs when a patient is sedated.
DHH also criticized Delta [clinic] officials for not reporting to law enforcement when they treated a handful of minor girls and finding out if their partners were over the age of 18. State law forbids men over the age of 18 from having sex with partners under the age of 18.
… [T]he president’s decision to sign the order did not drive a single pro-choice lawmaker to vote against it, suggesting that the substance of the letter was less important than its symbolic value.

James Chattaway >>> Bastard
There needs to a bipartisan campaign to raise awareness about violence against pregnant women and unborn children.
Gee Vannah:
You do have a pulse.
Agreed Vannah, a bastard with demons.
His actions provide excellent insight into the character of satan, his demons and their feelings toward man.
After Jesus rose from the dead, He told his disciples, “Go into all the world ?and preach the gospel to every creature. ??He who believes and is baptized will be saved; ?but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these ?signs will follow those who ?believe: ?In My name they will cast out demons; ?they will speak with new tongues; ?they ?will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mk 16:15-18
I could understand the guy being upset and maybe doing something really bad like slapping or hitting his girlfriend. I read the news. There is a lot of human scum out there in desperate need of some jailyard justice.
But to go after the baby?
Demonic.
You know, now that I think about it, hitting his girlfriend is probably just as demonic.
Just becsuse it happens more often doesn’t make it any less appalling or evil.
It’s great to hear that the baby is okay, but what about Daisy Glazebrook? The article doesn’t say anything about her condition except that she received “actual bodily harm.”
“Chattaway and Daisy Glazebrook were shocked when their 2-year romance resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, and they arranged for a termination.”
PERFECT example of the contraceptive mentality at work here.
They were “shocked”. Really? What could they possibly be doing that MIGHT MAKE a BABY?
Of course, they didn’t EXPECT a baby. Sex doesn’t lead to BABIES in the minds of contracepting couples.
SEX is fun and no responsibility with no consequences…..
:(
I am so sick of hearing about little man-boys who attack their girlfriends after those women make the choice to keep the child.
All of those “men” need to grow up, accept responsibility, and accept the fact that no woman is required to kill for them.
Thank God I have a wonderful husband who prays for our children when I’m pregnant instead of going after me with a stick.
Lauren:
These are not men they are males.
I’ll stick with human scum.
Abortion: a cop-out for irresponsible males, abortion: giving abusive males another way to coerce and control their wives/girlfriends under the guise of “choice”
Abortion- a cop-out for irresponsible males; abortion- giving abusive males another way to coerce and control their girlfriends/wives, under the guise of “choice”

Angel, I had that same thought. Why were they so surprised??
Sorry ’bout the multiple posts, my cellphone browser keeps timing out.
Sitting here watching DATELINE about the abortion doctor here in Oklahoma who murdered his wife a few years ago. Of course, at this point in the story, they’re saying “could it have been an anti-abortion zealot?”(who murdered her). She worked at the clinic with him. Someone in the story said: How could you murder someone, then go to the hospital and perform surgery as if nothing happened? HELLO…he’s an ABORTION DOCTOR…duh!
Meant to say “abortionist”, not abortion “doctor”. Also the question was how could you BRUTALLY murder someone…?
What happened there? I didn’t hit post twice.
Pamela, I watched the same thing and got equally frustrated at the “it’s probably a prolifer!” comments.
Ugh, what a horrible story.
Rachel, as I’ve stated in other posts, if I was to be pregnant at moment, I would choose abortion. Regardless of what my boyfriend said. There are women who choose it–willingly.
However, having spoken with and listened to post-abortion women for a number of years, especially at this post-abortion website, I’ve learned that subtle pressure to outright coercion to have an abortion (from boyfriend/partner spouse, parent, or mentor) were a common factor for many woman in their abortion decision and this issue is under-represented in discussions on abortion and represents the need for better screening and pre-abortion counseling at hospitals and clinics.
A growing body of evidence shows that most abortions are unwanted or coerced.
64% of American women felt pressured by others. More than half felt rushed or uncertain, yet 67% received no counseling. 79% were not told about available alternatives.
VM Rue et. al. “Induced abortions and traumatic stress: A preliminary comparison of American and Russian women,” Medical Science Monitor 10(10):SR5-16 (2004).
A survey at a post-abortion website of 5,714 active members, found 772 incidences of individuals who were invovled in coercing a member to have an abortion (source)
Coercion to have an abortion comes in many forms and from all sides. It may come from a boyfriend/partner spouse, parent, mentor, school counselor, employer, family planning clinic staff, or religious clergy. Coercion comes in many direct and indirect forms, overt or subtle.
Overt coersion often involves outright words or actions of threat — such as someone saying to you — “you HAVE to get an abortion or else…” then they will usually list dire consequences purposely to upset you and push you into doing what they want. These dire consequences and threats may include threats of ending the relationship, reoving their other child(ren), kicking them out of the home, job termination.
Subtle coersion often includes double-entendres, veiled threats, mind games, passive-agressive actions by the coercers, and so on. These threats are not as blatant as the overt coercers, but are more subtle forms of emotional abuse, intended to make her doubt herself, for example, a double-entendre, “It’s YOUR decision BUT you’ll never finish school.” or “It’s YOUR decision BUT you wouldn’t be a good mom.”
Another method includes bribing, sweet talking, or making empty promises … for example, a boyfriend may promise to marry her if she has the abortion, he may promise that she can have all the babies she wants in a few years if she only has the abortion at this time, if she has the abortion everything will be okay and they will be together forever. However, these relationships often don’t last.
These are all real examples of coercion and these are all forms of abuse. Coercion by abusive or otherwise controlling individuals can escalate to violence, forced abortion or even homicide – the #1 cause of death for pregnant women.
Some coercers have even gone as far as to actually call up and book an appointment at the abortion clinic for the coerced woman, either taking her to the clinic under a misleading guise or basically dragging her and forcing her to into the car and then clinic…using every threat and tactic they can think of to force her through the door and even to sign the form stating that they aren’t being coerced. Unfortuantly, many of these women will, under emotional duress from harassment and the fear of what will happen when they return home/back to work if they don’t get the abortion.
Some coercers honestly think that by pushing her into having an abortion, they are doing what is right for her, often in the case of parents, who mistakenly believe it is their ‘job’ as a good parent to presure her into an abortion to protect her from ruining her life or embarassing the family, or whatever the reason. However, this doesn’t undo the emotional hurt or damage of being coerced into an unwanted abortion. “65% of women coerced into an abortion suffer symptoms of trauma”

Hey, I posted a response with a lot of links (in response to Less) and it’s being held in moderation. Please approve, thanks!
That’s not what I was addressing, Rachel. I was saying that there are women who choose it willingly–I would be one of them. I know others who have chosen willingly, and don’t regret it, never have.
Additionally, your links (save the medical article) seem to be from fairly biased sources. Do you have any other sources? I’ll have to look at the article later; company is here this weekend. However, I urge you to look at http://www.imnotsorry.net, from women who weren’t coerced, and who don’t regret their decision.
Kelsey asked about Daisy Glazebrook in a previous post.
Daisy is fine and has a healthy 8 week old baby called Amelia. Both mother and baby are fine and Amelia is gorgeous.
“Additionally, your links (save the medical article) seem to be from fairly biased sources. ”
It’s really aggravating when any source which provides evidence to the contrary of a pro-abort’s views is automatically rejected/called biased. It should be taken into consideration as a valid viewpoint.

I understand that, but intially, I was addressing an under-represented issue, which was the topic of the post, coercion to have an abortion.

One shouldn’t assume that one source is biased because it presents contrary views, until you’ve thoroughly investigated the source. For example, perhaps you didn’t know that the post-abortion support message board I posted as one of my sources is a neutral support board, run by a pro-choice woman named Jilly, and the members there represent diverse abortion experiences and feelings surrounding their abortion, as well as a broad spectrum of political views, cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. While, the post-abortion support site doesn’t represent all women’s experiences, a broad range of experiences, feelings, and views, are represented there, wherein the I’m Not Sorry website is political in nature and only presents a limited view of abortion experiences. It has been my experience in listening to women, that no one woman’s experience is alike, but also no one woman’s experience, feelings, and beliefs can be categorized into a box. For example, there are women who felt sadness and loss and even regret about their pregnancy and abortion, but still felt having an abortion was the right decision for them at the time. Also there are women who regret their decision and if they could do it all over again, would choose differently. Also, there are women who identify themselves as pro-choice, but felt sadness and loss after their abortion. The experiences and feelings of women are diverse and women may feel a wide range of emotions. While feelings of relief are normal, so are feelings of sadness, loss, or grief and everything imbetween are normal too, and these women’s voices and experiences should be honored as well.
P.S. I hope your time with company this weekend is well :)
