- Abortioneer Desembarazarme notes some abortion clinics don’t offer any pre-abortion counseling:
I actually took the counseling portion of the program for granted until I learned that some very compassionate, professional clinics don’t offer counseling to their clients. It could be a trick to save time (clients always complain about how long the process takes) or minimize cost (we ARE in a recession), and it could simply be what has worked and continues to work for individual clinics.
- Gerard Bradley comments on the Washington Post’s article on fetal pain legislation and notes it is unlikely that fetal pain legislation would lead to a rethinking of Roe:
- That occasion is much more likely to be inspired by someone like Scott Peterson (pictured immediate left), the CA man who killed his wife, Laci (far left), and his unborn son, Connor. I think that someday soon, an angry young man convicted of murdering his unborn child is going to force an appellate court to seriously address the Equal Protection time bomb ticking away in abortion jurisprudence. He will say that he cannot be convicted of murdering a “person” (as the language of the feticide law under which he stands convicted will state) while his wife could not be touched for doing the same thing to the same child.
- A doctor in favor of embryonic stem cell research admits in an editorial praising embryonic stem cell research that the “greatest effect” of embryonic stem cells won’t be in the direct treatment of diseases but rather as a “scientific tool of discovery.”
- The NV Supreme Court has denied an appeal by the group behind Nevada’s personhood initiative because they didn’t get enough signatures to be placed on the ballot.
Whatever one’s answer to the question of when a “person” begins, that answer cannot reasonably change depending on whether the man wielding a sharp scalpel is an angry father or the mother’s abortionist. And so, our angry young man will conclude, he is denied constitutional equality when the legislature arbitrarily calls his victim a “person” while hers is just, well, something very decidedly different.

As far as I know, abortion is the only surgery that can be sold without even the appearance of real informed consent.
How many abortion patients are told, for example, that ambivalence toward — and even rejection of — the pregnancy is NORMAL and typically SELF-LIMITING? Imagine if a patient didn’t know that the painful, itching blisters of poison ivy were self-limiting, asked to have the affected limb amputated, and a doctor simply did it, without pointing out to the patient that there ways to minimize the distress while waiting for the symptoms to clear away on their own?
What other normal, self-limiting condition is treated with irreversible surgery?
“I think that someday soon, an angry young man convicted of murdering his unborn child is going to force an appellate court to seriously address the Equal Protection time bomb ticking away in abortion jurisprudence. He will say that he cannot be convicted of murdering a “person” (as the language of the feticide law under which he stands convicted will state) while his wife could not be touched for doing the same thing to the same child. ”
OR…maybe the judge will rule that equal protection really means equal protection for all unborn babies.
‘Desembarazarme’
Interesting moniker.
The Spanish word for pregnant is ‘embarazado’.
To make pregnant is ‘embarazar’
The Spanish word for ‘pack’, as in ‘pack a bag’, is ‘empacar‘.
The Spanish word for ‘unpack’ is ‘desempacar’.
‘ayuda’ is ‘help’. ‘help me’ is ‘ayudame’.
With the prefix ‘des’ and the suffix ‘me’, the Spanish ‘Desembarazarme’ could literally mean ‘unpregnate me’.
Taking into consideration the context and the idelology of the writer I believe it is safe to conclude that the correct understanding would be ‘unempregnate me’.
This is probably the case of an ‘angry Eve’ shaking her fist at GOD and demanding from HIM that HE immediately wave HIS sceptre and make her never pregnant in the first place.
Eve’s blame is misplaced. It was the waving of Adam’s ‘wand’ that impregnated her.
Unringing that bell is a difficult, if not impossible, thing to do for mortal women/men.
The best they can do is destroy the physical evidence of their canoodling.
I read something very sad in the book written by Laci Peterson’s mom. Laci would have aborted an unhealthy child. The mom explained that Laci and Scott chose to abort if the child tested positive for DS. I had no idea Laci would have done such a thing. SAD!
“Scott Peterson (pictured immediate left), the CA man who killed his wife, Laci (far left), and his unborn son, Connor”.
Scott and Laci planned to name their son Conner, not Connor.
Scott Peterson had nothing to do with his wife’s abduction and death, nor with the amateur cesarean which probably killed his (full term) son. This was done by a woman intent on stealing his son for herself who abducted Laci at 7 1/2 months and kept her prisoner, something made clear during the trial. The verdict was not based on the almost incomprehensible trial evidence (5 months and $11 million) but on the public hysteria and media insanity which went on while the jury was not sequestered. The trial evidence was more than sufficient to prove Peterson’s innocence.
