- Gallup’s web site notes areas where a majority of people describing themselves as pro-choice and pro-life both favor certain policy decisions on abortion. They include having abortion legal to save the life of the mother, protect the health of the mother and when a woman is raped.
They also both favor a variety of abortion restrictions including banning abortion in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
What I find truly interesting is that only 68% of self-described pro-lifers favor banning partial-birth abortion while 90% favor banning all second trimester abortions. That leads me to believe a lot of self-described pro-lifers have fallen for the lie that partial-birth abortions were performed for health reasons.
- The Summer of Mercy 2.0 has wound down and the NOW still has talking points from the 1970’s:
National Organization for Women president Terry O’Neill [pictured left] said abortion services and abortion research were necessary.
“Do you know what happens in areas where here are no abortion providers?” O’Neill asked. “That is when women try to self abort and predatory butchers set up shop in the back alleys for women to terminate their pregnancies in unhygienic ways. So what we need is good health care including excellent abortion care.”
- Indian authorities sealed 2 hospitals (they sound more like clinics) for performing illegal abortions which may have been sex-selection abortions:
The BMC sealed the operation theatre of Shabnam Hospital in Govandi’s Baiganwadi area after reports that a 6-month-old foetus was abandoned by the hospital’s owner, Dr. Diwan Gupta, and the child’s mother, Yasmin Khan, a resident of Mumbra.

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.
“That is when women try to self abort and predatory butchers set up shop in the back alleys for women to terminate their pregnancies in unhygienic ways. So what we need is good health care including excellent abortion care.”
Riiiiiiight….. Because the “legal” clinics are all really hygienic and safe? No women are ever hurt there and none have died and none needed medical care afterwards? And surely the legal and safe clinics don’t even need the doors that are wide enough for gurneys, because they do their job perfectly everytime? And even without any supervision or regulation! What an excellent care!
I bet a back street doctor doing it illegally would keep his “clinic” much more clean and hygienic, than some of those “legal” ones. If not for the sake of his patients, but at least to avoid any problems and be caught! And what PP clinics have to fear of? Right, nothing, because they’re not really supervised and noone dares to say a word against them not to be proclaimed “anti-women’s rights”, even if those rights would include medical facilities that are clean and safe.
Terry,
Sorry. Need to see some stats on that.
Check in with my home state of ND. One abortion mill. One.
PS
And we’re considered the “hysterical ranters??”
If Gosnell isn’t a “predatory butcher” I don’t who is!!
“Do you know what happens in areas where here are no abortion providers?” O’Neill asked.
Uhhh..yes. Babies survive and women get to live with a clear conscience and with their HEALTH INTACT!
Excellent abortion care is an oxymoron.
What we need is for people to realize is that if they want to be sexually active they need to assume the responsibility that goes along with that. And when a womans’ life is really at risk she needs excellent medical care as does her baby. To use the pretext of mercy and have as the end result a dead baby and usually a heartbroken mom is just that it’s pretext. And in my opinion it’s contemptible. If the plight of women at risk can be seen so clearly as it should be why can’t the plight of the unborn be seen as well? Unless the risk of women is being exaggerrated so anyone who raises their voice for the unborn is seen as uncharitable. Which of course to me seems seems more believable. I think 53 million says a lot about whether it’s pro-aborts that are exaggerrating are pro-lifers.
First item:
I favor slavery to save the life and health of the mother, and when the mother has been raped. I also favor restrictions on allowing slavery in the second and third trimesters of one’s lifespan.
Second item:
It’s terrible in areas without slavetrader providers. The mothers there may turn over their children to unhygenic slavetraders!
Third item:
A slavetrader was shut down just because he and a mother abandoned someone for being female? What’s the big deal? Sheesh! What’s the world coming to?
