- The Abortion Gang has a guest post by Canadian Mel Waters in which she describes her experience in Colorado for an elective abortion after 24 weeks at Warren Hern’s clinic. The story is sad on many levels:
It was a long physical recovery; the mental scars have been a longer journey, and after 4 years I am still working through it. I can’t close my eyes at night without reliving the whole thing again, I still have nightmares! - An abortion clinic in El Paso is shut down again after being open for part of the day on Saturday after they received an exemption that was meant for another clinic in El Paso. In another example of how abortion is a business, the clinic isn’t referring women to the abortion clinic in El Paso but instead to one of their affiliated clinics in New Mexico:
They are not completely closed, though. They still take walk-ins and phone calls and instruct women requiring an abortion to go to their clinic in New Mexico.
- Cosmopolitan magazine has endorsed… drumroll… Wendy Davis! (I know, big surprise, right?) The start of the story mentions the pink shoes as if that’s a reason to vote for her:
An 11-hour filibuster. A bold stand for women in a red state. Those pink tennis shoes.They’d probably call other media outlets sexist for mentioning the shoes. The end of this sentence caught my eye:
A Davis governorship would represent all Texans, including those who are traditionally underserved by Austin, setting the state on the road to restoring basic women’s health care and ensuring that the children women do choose to have are cared for.Why the need to mention “the children women do choose to have”? Why not just say “ensuring that children are cared for”? In saying this, Cosmo concedes the reality that women are aborting “children” they don’t want.

But-but-but, that’s impossible! We’ve all been told that late-term abortions only occur for like super duper serious reasons. There’s no way that we’ve been lied to about that.

According to Realclearpolitics, Wendy is down by 12 points, so the coveted (sarcasm) Cosmopolitan endorsement probably isn’t going to help much.
Yeah, phillymiss. We’re not quite at the “dead girl/live boy” stage of the race, but it won’t be long before we are.
The cities of El Paso, Texas and Santa Teresa, New Mexico share a common boarder. One can hardly notice when you have crossed the state line. The New Mexico abortion facility is a half-mile from the Texas state line and New Mexico provides no abortion regulations at all.
I just finished reading the story of the woman who had the abortion at 24 weeks. Ugh! It made me sick and broke my heart all at the same time. If this woman feels this horrible and guilty while *defending* her choice to eliminate her child, just imagine how awful she will feel when she finally admits to herself the wrongness of her action, that indeed, she did kill her child. Since most people won’t read the article, I will spoil the punchline for everyone: she admits that she almost died from the abortion – that she began hemorrhaging from the fact that her uterus would not contract following the abortion – and that she was taken by ambulance to the hospital while she was losing consciousness. She was admitted and stayed for 2 days, and qualified for a blood transfusion as well as a longer stay, which she refused. This gives tribute to the seriousness of her condition. She also admits in the article, that women need to be given more information about the possible risks. For example, it took her an entire year to regain a healthy level of hemoglobin and iron levels – over a year? I don’t think that anyone should take that lightly. Yet, even though she almost died from this abortion, and feels that it was a more difficult and risky procedure than she was told, and suffers emotional distress from the procedure, she *recommends* and *defends* it as a right. I guess misery loves company. She claims that she has no regrets, but what if she would have had a stroke from the blood clots that developed in her uterus? What then? Is risk of death not enough to seek adoption for one’s child? Literally, if she would have held out another 12 weeks, she could have had a perfectly-formed 36 week old child, delivered naturally by induction. 12 weeks – that’s not too long to give someone a chance at life, is it? In 4 more weeks, she wouldn’t have even had to suffer an induction. By giving birth, she would have avoided seriously risking her own life. Really, giving a child a chance at life is about being courageous, being self-donative, and truly sacrificing for the good of someone else …. that they may live!
Based on this, from the article:
“the gynecologist assigned to my case, finally came in wearing an amused look on her face, resembling something that looked a lot like “I told you so” directed at Dr. Hern…She seemed to be insinuating that he was the cause of what had happened. The conclusion in their minds was that he had cut/torn something in the walls of my cervix or uterus and this was causing the hemorrhaging.”
I wonder how many times she’s had someone come in because this happened.
Just noticed the giant wart on Wendys cracking face. How appropriate for the witch.
