A full-blown nuclear meltdown would be devastating for pregnant women and their fetuses, which are particularly vulnerable to the lasting effects of radiation. Should the worst-case scenario become a reality, it could lead to a generation of children born with all manner of maladies, from congenital malformation to mental retardation.

Speaking of Congenital Malformations……… Japan did not accept hormonal birth control for human use until 1999, due to worries about congenital malformations in babies born to women on the pill, and the effects of the hormones which would eventually get into the general water supply. The pill still has not become very popular there.
Take your anti-panic pill. Read the link in this article to learn about the structure of the nuclear power plants, and what happens when they overheat.
Now even the AP and NYT have decided to stop lying so much about the radiation risk.
The World Health Organization does not recommend travel restrictions to Japan.
Look for the Nuclear Energy Institute news so you can keep up to speed on the efforts to cool the reactors and the spent fuel rods.
Let all the leftists in the media abuse potassium iodide to allay their nuclear anxiety. You don’t need any. But you can read my advice to day traders on investing in the companies which make potassium iodide, which is being bought up (by suckers in America) so fast that it’s backordered everywhere.
Pharmer has the “chill pills” you need to counteract media misinformation about the Fukushima nuclear power plants.
Abortion is legal in Japan – thankfully!
CC that is just disgusting.
In the face of death and destruction, you advocate more death and destruction?
I understand that it will be difficult to raise children who were affected by radiation while in the womb, but that’s a “what-if.”
A life is a life, CC, regardless of deformities, size, mental health, it is a life. :(
Exactly, LibertyBelle.
Pray for CC’s mental health.
(sarcasm)
Women and their “fetuses”….
Oh, that’s not dehumanizing enough – Women and their conception products – much better.
Perhaps CC wants to correct me, (as I know she wants to) so it’s even more dehumanizing than that.
Oh wait – the article mentions children – since when do fetuses become children?
I mean it’s pretty clear children are never fetuses – as young pro-aborts now claim.
What do you think CC? Shouldn’t they automatically abort those products of conception that were exposed to radiation because it would be real bad for them?
CC – you’re so remarkably compassionate saving all those conception products from enduring miserable
livesperiods of suffering.(/sarcasm)
If PP isn’t sending condoms yet they probably should! AND set up some “clinics!” FREE ABORTIONS FOR EVERYONE!
Yes – they probably would do that, since during Katrina – did they:
send nurses to tend the wounded? No.
Bandages and sterile instruments to help out? No.
Money to feed the starving and house the homeless? Nope.
Oh wait – they did send condoms and emergency contraception! what a beautiful humanitarian gesture! (sarcasm!).
Agencies who make money from abortion will prey on those who are fearful, and will make money off of them. No freebies here.
pharmer,
I heard several days ago that there is a popular birth control pill that should not be taken with the potassium iodide pill. I’d rather not specify the name of the pill because I don’t know how reliable the report was. It goes to show, as you know, how important it is to ask your doctor and read the drug packaging inserts about contraindications for any drug before taking it.
CC,
I don’t even know if your level of stupidity deserves comment…
Anyway, our thoughts and prayers should be with Japan. The Japanese people are so brave to keep fighting. I can’t imagine going through those kinds of horrors. I love so much about Japanese culture (I study Japanese). Let us all hope and pray that they recover.
Amen, Vannah! I’ve been praying for them since it happened.
Vannah,
You are right, we should be focused on praying for the people of Japan. Instead, we are obsessing, as a nation (especially the media), over how their tragedy will affect us.
Let us cling together.
I talked to God last night about the novena I said for CC. I told him, obviously I didn’t nag enough, lol! Today she confirms that. Seriously, though, I think I expected results too quickly. When you plant an apple seed, you do not expect to harvest fruit in just a matter of weeks. PP in my house stands for Prayer and Patience.
Indeed, Carla, Planned Greedyhood went on a fundraising binge after the Haiti earthquake. For food? No. For water? No. Blankets? No. Shelter? No. They were fundraising for abortions and birth control, using their usual begging line: “Please give generously.” Yep. So much compassion for women.
Let’s all work together to help our neighbors across the western pond to obtain food, water, shelter, and clothing. They are working so hard for each other, and for us. They are the true heroes.
I am praying for the precious people of Japan!
Can you imagine a man looking for his relatives, looking for food, water and shelter and offered a condom by PP?
Carla, I am with you. I am FRANTIC for PP to send condoms QUICK! It worked wonders for the people of Haiti.
And CC and everyone else… calm down. There will be no congenital defects in children born to women who were exposed to radiation. I mean, DUH there isn’t really even a fetus! Its just a blob of cells and the all-powerful magical vagina will eradicate all disease and suffering when conferring humanity and personhood on the blob of cells when it is being born! How come everyone doesn’t KNOW this?
Carla: Can you imagine a man looking for his relatives, looking for food, water and shelter and offered a condom by PP?
Well, you carry water in them, right?
Janet,
I would expect a theoretical interaction between Yaz and potassium iodide because of the drospirenone component, which is related to the potassium sparing diuretic spironolactone.
Drospirenone exhibits aldosterone antagonism. It inhibits sodium / potassium exchange in the kidneys, and the net effect is potassium RETENTION.
If you take extra potassium iodide with the YAZ, you could possibly accumulate too much potassium. – bottom line.
If you took only the recommended dose of potassium iodide, it would probably be no big deal. But you know the “more is better” nuts will OD on anything. People in the U.S. have no reason to be taking potassium iodide on account of Fukushima leakage.
They have far more to worry about from the thromboembolic side effects of birth control pills, for example.

Hi Doug,
You as in me? No. I don’t personally.
A man who has no water would most likely not being carrying water in it.
Nice chat.
pharmer,
Thank you!
Pharmer,
There’s a reason I did so-so in high school chemistry. Your 6:30 post just proved it.
CC, You are really beginning to convince me that the world would indeed be a better place if certain individuals had never come to be. But we love you anyway.
Don’t worry about the retarded kids. You would look just as ugly as a human even without their angelic visages for contrast.
YW, Janet.
Carder, chemistry can cause brain pain, but someone’s gotta do it. Really everyone needs to to some of it, so that the media can no longer induce stupid behavior by propagating bad information.
The run on potassium iodide due to Fukushima panic is a symptom of people’s need to get serious about chemistry and the other sciences.
Whoa, Gerald is in a mood! CC sorta deserves a blast though, the anti-asian bias of that leftie is showing.
I should remind CC that even with the sex trade, and Japan having a bit of a reputation for kink, their abortion rate has dropped below that of the U.S., and the corporations and governmental bodies have been offering benefits for those who choose to make more Japanese. Now they’re really going to have to get busy.
Pharmer,
Actually, Gerard is having a wonderful day/night. When I saw that the story was from The Daily Beast, I wasn’t sure if that was CC’s tag line or the actual publication. I think it’s worth making CC think about the impact her words have on others. I have a son with autism, who sucks up precious educational resources, and who belongs to a class of people CC wishes had never been born at all.
In this, she echos Margaret Sanger’s words. Who are these beasts such as CC, who come at us with such eugenic fury? I put it to you in all candor:
Had CC, Sanger, Cecile Richards and their ilk never been born, imagine the hundreds of millions of beautiful human beings who would be with us today. One Down Syndrome, or autstic child is worth a bushel of CC’s any day, and on behalf of my beautiful son, I offer this howling rebuke to this New England monster.
These children actually bring out the humanitarian best in people, and today these children go on to live productive adult lives. That’s because there are people who are not imprisoned by pathological narcissism, who seek the possibilities for life instead of resorting to the grubbiness of death.
When I think of the miracles wrought by my son’s therapists, and then I think of CC’s abject hatred of what she perceives as human imperfection, I can’t help but think of how much she must loathe herself, a woman who offers nothing but turkey basters and pom poms for Satan. But sympathy for CC’s existential torture must not beget forgetfulness to respond in full to her demonic rants. Thus my response.
I stand by every word of it.
BTW Pharmer,
Excellent explication if the potassium iodide (KI) drug interactions. It’s also worth noting that if someone is around sufficiently dangerous levels of radioactive iodine, they are around plenty of other radioisotopes for which KI provides no protective effect (it only helps prevent thyroid cancer).
Try not to worry about what’s happening in Japan. I was reassured recently that nuclear energy is clean energy. ;(
“These children actually bring out the humanitarian best in people, and today these children go on to live productive adult lives. That’s because there are people who are not imprisoned by pathological narcissism, who seek the possibilities for life instead of resorting to the grubbiness of death.”
After enough Japanese my Rs and Ls are interchangeable, Gerard.
Above is very true, and the pro-death narcissists will reap the consequences of working so hard to kill the main impetus for human innovation and development, which is to to alleviate human suffering.
