Danielle Deaver Denied Abortion Even as Uterus Crushed Fetus
By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
March 14, 2010
Danielle Deaver was 22 weeks pregnant when her water broke and doctors gave her a devastating prognosis: With undeveloped lungs, the baby likely would never survive outside the womb, and because all the amniotic fluid had drained, the tiny growing fetus slowly would be crushed by the uterus walls.
"What we learned from the perinatologist was that because there was no cushion, she couldn't move her arms and legs because of contractures," said Deaver, a 34-year-old nurse from Grand Isle, Neb. "And her face and head would be deformed because the uterus pushed down so hard."
After having had three miscarriages, Deaver and her husband, Robb Deaver, looked for every medical way possible to save the baby. Deaver's prior pregnancy ended the same way at 15 weeks, and doctors induced her to spare the pain.
But this time, when the couple sought the same procedure, doctors could not legally help them.
Just one month earlier, Nebraska had enacted the nation's first fetal pain legislation, banning abortions after 20 weeks gestation. So the Deavers had to wait more than a week to deliver baby Elizabeth, who died after just 15 minutes.
"They could do nothing to make it better but tell us to wait, which made it worse," Danielle Deaver said. "Every time I felt movement, I was terrified she was hurting and trying to push the uterus away from her."

How do I go about arguing with people who are against fetal tests determining things like Down's Syndrome because they feel that this is an attempt at ''eradicating'' people with such conditions? I, personally, think that women who want such prenatal tests should get them, and should be allowed to make their decision from there. However, the people I'm discussing this with claim that women who have these tests are inevitably pressured to have abortions, rather than to go through with the pregnancy. I would say that it's just as wrong to pressure someone to have an abortion as it is to do the opposite. Is this a reasonable argument, you think?

Now, I know we all probably consider ourselves pretty knowledgeable about how contraceptives work, but get ready to get schooled:
Sex-Crazed Co-Eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control, Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate
The article itself is hilarious and reads like an Onion piece (the author takes the yearly cost of oral contraception and divides it by days per year to determine how many times a day these filthy whores on the pill must be having sex), but the comment thread is just one gem after another. Their comments read like liberal mockery of conservative arguments ("COMMUNIST HORES!!1!1!"), and it is painfully clear that none of these people has ever had any opportunity to have sex with a real live consenting human woman--they seriously don't have the faintest idea how it works.
( A sampling: )
These people have their finger on the pulse of America.

Virginia House getting all up in your vagina
by Scott Wooledge for Milk Men And Women
via Daily Kos
The headline is not hyperbole. The freedom and liberty loving party is requiring the state to take liberty with Virginia women's vaginas. Women will not have the freedom to refuse.
The Virginia House passed a bill 63-36 requiring that women who wish to have an abortion must submit to a "transvaginal ultrasound."
The ultrasound legislation would constitute an unprecedented government mandate to insert vaginal ultrasonic probes into women as part of a state-ordered effort to dissuade them from terminating pregnancies, legislative opponents noted.
"We're talking about inside a woman's body," Del. Charnielle Herring, a Democrat, said in an emotional floor speech. "This is the first time, if we pass this bill, that we will be dictating a medical procedure to a physician."
The conservative Family Foundation hailed the ultrasound measure as an "update" to the state's existing informed consent laws "with the most advanced medical technology available."
This is totally medically unnecessary invasive procedure. It serves no purpose other than to humiliate and shame women and intimidate them from choosing a legal medical procedure.
Speaking in support of the bill, one delegate said:
"We hear the same song over there. The very tragic human notes that are often touched upon involve extreme examples," said [Todd] Gilbert, R-Shenandoah. "But in the vast majority of these cases, these are matters of lifestyle convenience."
It is expected to pass the Republican-controlled Senate. Gov. Bob McDonnell has said he will sign the bill.
The House also passed a "personhood" amendment that declares life begins at conception, by a 66-32 vote.

As you may or may not know, the US Department of Health and Human services announced last year that starting in August 2012, private insurance companies would be required to cover all preventive health care costs for women - from breast exams to birth control - with no co-pay costs.
This, of course, infuriates anti-choicers, who have been raising all kinds of whiny hell. (Google 'mandate birth control insurance' if you dare). Supposedly an anonymous source at the white house has implied that they may give a little appeasement ground.
So! a petition arose on the whitehouse.gov website to encourage the administration to stand strong in support of this much-needed policy. If the petition reaches 25,000 signatures in a month's time, the white house will release an official statement about it, so spread this far and wide! Repost, re-tweet, share it on Facebook, whatever - help us get this out there :)

| "I....Eee...I....Will Always Love Planned Parenthood." |
[02 Dec 2011|07:08pm] |
Why do I find nothing more amusing right now, than the sight of a dozen Catholic school students in a prayer march on the sidewalk, try to keep a straight face as I do my best melodramatic Whitney Houston style rendition of "I Will Always Love Planned Parenthood." as I'm exiting the clinic from my yearly exam?
Maybe because it means that being judged as a big fat dork supersedes being judged as an evil slut ho baby killer...at least as far as teenagers are concerned. Interesting.

The AP is projecting that Mississippi's Initiative 26, more commonly known as the Personhood Amendment has been defeated by the voters of that state.
Just wanted to share the news. It's being reported on MSNBC.

| Ron Paul sucks |
[19 Oct 2011|06:33pm] |
Let's go over everything wrong with this in order, shall we?
1. Dr. Ron Paul, more than 4,000 babies delivered, a man of faith, committed to protecting life.
Except by "protecting life" he actually means "banning abortion," which has nothing to do with improving health care or saving lives, and in fact is not correlated with lower abortion rates or better health outcomes for anyone, anywhere.
2. This whole notion of life not being valuable...
This is highly offensive rhetoric, implying that pro-choice people do not value life. I am a human being and a mother and I value life a great deal, which is why I would never support a return to illegal, unsafe, black-market abortion which kills and maims women left and right.
3. They put a small baby that could cry and breathe in a bucket and ignored it...
Really? Because doctors have been known to lose their licenses for doing that. Why didn't Dr. Ron Paul speak up and turn these reprobates over to the proper authorities?
4. Who are we to decide we throw away one and save the other?
EXACTLY: who are WE to decide? WE are not PREGNANT! WE are not the one who will have to watch what we eat, avoid alcohol & smoke, watch what medicines we take, gain 25 pounds in 9 months, throw up every day, risk preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, hyperemesis, DEATH, and so on! THE PREGNANT WOMAN IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOULD DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT SHE SHOULD BE PREGNANT!
5. Until we resolve this and understand that life is precious and we must protect life, we can't protect liberty.
"We" can't have liberty unless every woman is required by federal law to continue every pregnancy, whether she wants to or not? Forced childbirth is freedom? What the fuck is wrong with these people??
P.S. Abortion was not illegal when they wrote the Constitution, so apparently even the founding fathers didn't have true Liberty according to Ron Paul.

I got this off someone on my flist and it seemed appropriate for this comm.
Originally posted by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) gabrielleabelle at Mississippi Personhood Amendment Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media. Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and fetuses personhood status. Putting aside the contentious issue of abortion, this would effectively outlaw birth control and criminalize women who have miscarriages. This is not a good thing. Jackson Women's Health Organization is the only place women can get abortions in the entire state, and they are trying to launch a grassroots movement against this amendment. This doesn't just apply to Mississippi, though, as Personhood USA, the group that introduced this amendment, is trying to introduce identical amendments in all 50 states. What's more, in Mississippi, this amendment is expected to pass. It even has Mississippi Democrats, including the Attorney General, Jim Hood, backing it. The reason I'm posting this here is because I made a meager donation to the Jackson Women's Health Organization this morning, and I received a personal email back hours later - on a Sunday - thanking me and noting that I'm one of the first "outside" people to contribute. So if you sometimes pass on political action because you figure that enough other people will do something to make a difference, make an exception on this one. My RSS reader is near silent on this amendment. I only found out about it through a feminist blog. The mainstream media is not reporting on it. If there is ever a time to donate or send a letter in protest, this would be it. What to do? - Read up on it. Wake Up, Mississippi is the home of the grassroots effort to fight this amendment. Daily Kos also has a thorough story on it. - If you can afford it, you can donate at the site's link. - You can contact the Democratic National Committee to see why more of our representatives aren't speaking out against this. - Like this Facebook page to help spread awareness. |
