- Wesley Smith notes a disturbing study which examined how long it took to starve infants to death after withdrawing nutrition and hydration. It took one child 26 days to die.
- The Washington Post has an article where various law professors opine about the attempted murder charges against a man in OH who attempted to force a woman to have an abortion at gun point:
“The law for attempt is taking overt steps toward the completion of a crime,” [attorney Michael] Benza said. “He certainly took steps toward the charge of unlawful termination of pregnancy.”
- Nadya Suleman’s (a.k.a. Octomom) doctor testified at a state licensing hearing to determine whether he can keep his CA medical license:
The Beverly Hills fertility doctor said he felt legally bound to go ahead with the 12-embryo transfer – 6x the norm for a woman her age – because Suleman wouldn’t consent to any other option. “She did not want them frozen, she did not want them transferred to another patient in the future,” he said.
As months passed from their last meeting, [Dr. Michael] Kamrava said he was apprehensive because he couldn’t reach Suleman. Kamrava didn’t hear from her again until after she delivered octuplets in January 2009, according to his testimony….
Kamrava said he implanted the 12 embryos after Suleman consented to fetal reduction, if necessary. In fetal reduction, a fetus or fetuses are injected with a drug to stop their growth. That procedure also poses dangers, including a possible loss of the entire pregnancy.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
As for the “study”, this is another “Frankenstein Experiment”, in the same vein as (so-called) Partial Birth Abortion.
And as for “fetal reduction”, babies are not injected with a drug to stop their GROWTH, the drug stops their HEART. The drug is injected (by ultrasound guidance) directly into the tiny, beating HEART..until it stops beating.
No child should be starved to death. What is wrong with our world?
This so-called study is one that no doubt, Mengele would have done if he were still around. :(
Lauren: A LOT is wrong. A lot.
That is very upsetting that anyone would preform starvation studies on human infants, regardless of if they severely developmentally disabled or terminally ill. What about human rights and death with dignity (starvation and emanciation for such a long period almost always causes suffering on some level) and what about medical ethics? Since when has experimenting on live human beings become acceptable? Why isn’t WHO, NATO, & other human rights commitees and organizations outraged about this?
A gift to the world from Canada, land where people are arrested for hate crimes just for preaching pro-life. Our neighbors to the north are in a bad way and the US is headed their direction if the Democratic party/ Obamacare/ socialism gains a foothold.
Our current Democratically controlled state is reaching into all aspects of our lives as deepley and as quickly as possible to strip away the freedoms of individuals and all things private and legislating away our ability to fight back against them. We must vote them out in large enough numbers to repeal Obamacare or the scales may have tipped to a Socialistic government control of the American people. It is ironic that the people who are supposedly for bodily privacy and for individuals right to choice are the same ones that are promoting a socialist statism and government invasion of our lives. They really are not pro-choice, they really are only pro-choice to murderer babies in the womb. They are sick and they are nearly a majority already and if they have there way look for Obamacare to add a “child policy” that limits the number of fetus’ people can nurture into “being”. We need to stop this insanity in our generation or pass onto our children a United States of America that is no longer a beacon of individual freedoms, but instead a land where the people live according to legislation that guarantee a statist control of the people. And they are selling to people by creating phony fears of crisis that they are saving them from. According to Obama everybody who still has a job only has it cause of Obama. And just yesterday Harry Reid announced to the world “but for me the whole world would be in a recession right now.” Vote early and save the United States of America from Obamacare and the Democratic party.
