Three Former Clinic Employees from the Abortion/Infanticide Interface

Gosnell’s trial is wrapped up, and now it’s time to move on to deal with the rest of the clinics at which infanticide occurs regularly.

Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics interviewed three former employees of a late term abortion clinic which was still operating at the time this film was made.
Click HERE to view the video, for information about how the babies are killed at a late term abortion clinic.  

Gosnell is not alone.

In this film, the real names of the clinic workers are given, obviously with their permission. The  actual clinic is not named, in order to avoid interfering with a criminal investigation.

Abortion clinic employees life dynamics LTA 5-13

Prayers for total conversion and peace for  these former clinic workers, who are ‘divorcing’ from this industry, and have decided to speak out publicly.

Here’s where any abortion clinic employees can get assistance to bail out of the killing industry. CLICK!! They can choose to exit publicly or as anonymously as they want.

Here’s another approach at the Life Dynamics Clinic Worker Site.

UPDATE  They say everything in Texas is bigger……. abortions too!!

The investigation of this clinic goes way back and  the decision has been made to release the information to the public since criminal investigation has been stalled.  It seems that Texas officials think that there is not enough evidence to pursue action.  Check out some of the pics taken by employees at the clinic to see if you think Texas abortion restrictions have been broken.  Warning, they are extremely disturbing.

Three informants, Gigi Aguliar, Deborah Edge and Krystal Rodriguez have supplied evidence and affidavits to the Texas Medical Board and Attorney General Greg Abbott in 2012. They had responded to an Operation Rescue postcard urging clinic workers to report if they suspected illegal activities at their place of employment. The three had been working with Alliance Defending Freedom, And Then Their Were None, and Operation Rescue to submit this info to TX authorities, who, in February 2013, wrote that there was not sufficient evidence to pursue action against abortionist Douglas Karpen and Aaron Women’s Clinic in Houston TX. See video of the interior.

Working around the lamestream media to expose the Kermit Gosnell case is part of what delayed  submission of the abortion atrocities in Houston for public consideration, after authorities refused to take action.  It will only be this exposure that induces the Texas medical board and attorney general to do the right thing.

From Operation Rescue comes the contact information for Texas authorities.  We know that pro-lifers will be supremely courteous as they fill up the email boxes and ring the phones of state officials who balk at enforcing abortion restrictions and regulations.  Please keep  our public servants busy.

Per Tweet News, Kermit Gosnell Found Guilty

….. of murdering 3 live born Babies, and of involuntary manslaughter of one Mom, Karnamaya Mongar.

None of the media outlets can agree on how many charges Gosnell faced, with the numbers ranging from the 230′s to above 260, but the huge burden is the likely reason that the jury took so long in deliberating the many verdicts.

This hugely significant trial is most notable for having been ignored by the media, most of which only began covering the issue when forced to by its repetition in the social media.

The practices by Gosnell are not so notable, as many abortion clinics exhibit deplorable standards of practice and unsanitary conditions.  Also, the practice of infanticide is widespread at late term abortion clinics, in which babies who are born alive are killed by neglect, suffocation or other methods.

If You Inspect Them, They Will Close

Michigan is losing its seventh abortion clinic within a year, and another clinic in Ohio has shuttered.

The Capital Care Clinic in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio was closed after an inspection of its records by the Ohio Dept of health and the DEA.  Several major problems were found.

1) The clinic was stealing samples of patient’s blood, without telling them, for use in checking reagents to test blood for Rh factor.

2) The medical records of the patients were worthless, containing no evidence of proper identification and monitoring of vital signs during anaesthesia and the procedures.

3) Insufficient staff and inaccurate staff records

4 Controlled substances were being administered by unlicensed personnel.

The DEA removed the controlled drugs from the clinic, and this  absence of most of the pain meds necessitated closing the clinic.

abortion clinic closed 5-13

Michigan’s second oldest, (and the seventh clinic in eight months) has closed down.
Birth Control Center began services in 1974, and had once sued to strike down state licensing requirements for abortion clinics.  From 1981 until 1999, abortion clinics in Michigan were unregulated.  Things have changed now, and abortion clinics in Michigan now must be licensed as outpatient surgical facilities.   The Birth Control Center was unable to maintain itself as expected of normal medical facilities, and it closed down.   Dr. Richard Goldfine, who ran this clinic, still practices in Bingham Farms, Michigan.

Barbara Boxer: Gosnell’s Clinic is Situation Normal

A cadre of pro-life Republicans have signed onto a senate resolution to hold hearings on the matter of Kermit Gosnell. Barbara Boxer and Richard Blumenthal have opposed this resolution, with Boxer saying that Gosnell’s problems are like those of any other medical clinic.

Sooooo, all of you medical clinic owners……… how do you like being compared to Kermit Gosnell?
Are newborn babies killed at your facilities?
Do you regularly fail to clean your examination rooms, procedure rooms and equipment?
Is meperidine still your pain reliever of choice?
Do you keep separate waiting rooms for Blacks and Whites as he did?

How would you like to give Barbara Boxer a piece of your mind for smearing your business?

Celestial Discharge: Barbara Willke, BS, RN

Barbara Willke, 90 year old nurse, mother, and grandma of the pro-life movement, has gone to God this weekend.  She was married almost 65 years to Dr. Jack Willke, and both of them traveled all over  the U.S. and to scores of other countries on the lecture circuit, educating people about the right to life and about  human sexuality.  They co-founded Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati,  and headed up Life Issues Institute which are left behind to continue their work.

The Willkes published the Handbook on Abortion in 1971, prior to Roe V Wade, and it became an early  reference book of the pro-life movement.   They have since published numerous other books, and have a history of the movement in the works, which is yet to be published.

Barbara has said that “abortion contains the seeds of its own destruction”.   She noted that those who have suffered the ill effects of abortion in the past remain to advise younger people against it, and this is fueling the  huge decline in abortions among teens.

Mrs. Willke was mom to six children, one of them adopted, 22 grandchildren, and a number of foster children. She kept a schedule which would wear out most people, mentoring and inspiring numerous younger pro-life advocates.  She talked and walked Prolife-ism.

Profound respect and prayers for Barbara Willke, her husband and family from the Pharmer.

Nurses Quit Planned Parenthood of Delaware over Unsanitary Conditions

Planned Parenthood of Delaware N. Shipley St., Wilmington

Planned Parenthood of Delaware N. Shipley St., Wilmington

Two nurses, Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich and Joyce Vasikonis have quit their jobs at Planned Parenthood of Delaware’s Wilmington Clinic, complaining of unsafe and unsanitary conditions for the patients. Both have brought their concerns to Wendy Saltzman of ABC News, WPVI.
Readers remember this clinic for the frequent ambulance calls to the facility this year.  ABC is reporting 5 patients transported emergently  from the facility since January 4th.

The two former employees report that the abortionist was working without gloves, that the operating tables were soiled and unclean, and that instruments were being used which were not sterile.   They stated that they quit to protect their own nursing licenses. Vasikonis is quoted: “They could be at risk of getting jepatitis, even AIDS”.  625 North Shipley Street

According to Mary Peterson of the Delaware Dept. of Health and Human Services, the state has no routine system for inspecting abortion clinics. Planned Parenthood of Delaware’s Wilmington facility was inspected in October 2012, following a complaint, but investigators did not notice the troubles which have been reported by the nurses.

Peterson is concerned about the ambulance traffic to Planned Parenthood, stating that they are looking into the situation.

ABC news states that during their news investigation, one doctor and two more nurses have left, with Planned Parenthood not confirming whether they resigned or were fired.

The end of the ABC article ends with a full text statement from Ruth Lytle-Barnaby, the new CEO of Planned Parenthood of Delaware, outlining her high opinion of her  institution, and the plans for cleaning house.

The facility was closed to patients for a routine cleaning on April 9, pending an upcoming investigation. One patient reports plans to sue this Planned Parenthood clinic for a botched abortion.

Why do Pro-lifers Photograph Ambulances at Abortion Clinics?

If you click the image below, you’ll see a bigger death certificate of a woman killed by abortion by Reginald Sharpe in 2008.

abortion death certificate 2013-04-01_1121

The problem is that the certificate does not really specify the cause of death. Not only that, it refers to Sharpe’s abortion clinic as a BIRTHING CENTER, on the bottom line. It’s easy to see from this one example that no one is getting an accurate count of women who are killed, along with their babies, at abortion clinics.

Now that pro-lifers are using their cell phones to record the ambulance runs to abortion clinics, and using FOIA requests to obtain 911 call transcripts, people can finally begin to understand that abortion is not nearly as safe as has been represented.
This blog is searchable, and will continue to feature some of the ambulance runs. Operation Rescue, Real Choice ,  Abortion Violence, and Jill Stanek’s blog  are good places to find more information on abortion related health hazards.

This video is taken at the Summit Medical Services where Reginald Sharpe was in attendance on March 23, 2013. Sharpe is a new hire at this clinic, after closing his own clinics in Detroit and Livonia Michigan.   Many more botched abortions can be tracked using this means, and use of 911 records,  than by ferreting out death certificates and sifting through them to reinterpret the inaccurate information.

Pro-life Grandmother assaulted at Delaware Planned Parenthood

 

 

prolife protestor attacked at Delaware planned parenthood

Rae Stabosz reports having her phone taken from her, and being pushed to the ground by an angry woman, while she was protesting in front of Planned Parenthood’s  Wilmington Delaware Clinic, (625 Shipley St.)

She had been filming  the fourth emergency transport of a patient from that facility within the last five weeks, tallied by Operation Rescue.  It seems that the clinic has been having a run of bad luck, though they serve as a training site for budding new abortionists.

Ms. Stabosz, a 63 year old grandmother of 12, reports that she was able to get back up, after being knocked down, go into the clinic and retrieve her phone from the receptionist.

Video of the event and more info is available here.

Assisted Living Policy Ruled by Emotions and Not Compassion

The Assisted Living Federation of America has decided to consider giving 911 dispatchers authority to rescind your signed DNR orders, or your  request to avoid CPR treatment.

It seems that the usual sounds made by a dying woman  so unnerved those who heard the recent Bakersfield 911 tape, that they are willing to order bone crushing CPR, even when it is not wanted.

Yes,  a 911 dispatcher who has no access to your medical records, does not have as much training as an RN, and does not your current state of health or your personal guiding principles, is going to have final authority to give you treatment that YOU Do Not Want!!!

This is just as stupid as allowing federal  government bureaucrats to run all of the health care systems of the United States!

The inmates are running the asylum.

Celestial Discharge: Ms. Lorraine Bayless, Trailed by Media Mayhem.

Prayers for the peaceful repose of Ms. Lorraine Bayless, and prayers for her family, which, by all appearances, is being victimized by a bumbling news media and generally uninformed public.

Prior to her natural death, following a collapse in the dining hall of the Glenwood Gardens Extended Care Facility, the 87 year old Ms. Bayless was residing  in the independent living section of the facility.  Her condition precipitated a call to 911, by an  unnamed nurse.  The 911 dispatcher, in a much publicized call, begged the nurse to administer CPR.  When the nurse refused,  the dispatcher begged her to find someone else who would.

The daughter of Ms. Bayless, also a nurse,  has stated that she is satisfied with the care given to her mother at Glenwood Gardens.

What has precipitated the media storm,  foaming at the mouth, and gnashing of teeth by so many uninformed people, is a statement by KGET television of Bakersfield, California, that the elderly lady had not signed a DNR form.

Interestingly, over in the UK, the Daily Mail says just the opposite, that the women had indeed signed the DNR form.  Most who are commenting  at that  source are wondering what  is causing the big fuss in the U.S..   In their minds, the Glenwood nurse was fulfilling the lady’s wishes.

The two opposing claims are juxtaposed below.

NO DNR:

DNR KGET Lorraine Bayless

YES DNR:

DNR Daily Mail Lorraine Bayless

 

Your friendly Pharmer would like to add that not all elderly people want to be bagged and thumped when they are in the process of leaving this world.   Many truly do opt out of it, as they have accumulated too many health ailments, or fear doing so.  Some realize that the success rate of CPR is not all that terrific, and the outcome for an elderly person very seldom involves springing back to the prior state of health. CPR is also generally painful after the fact, due to cracked ribs, and many other possible injuries.

None of us know the circumstances of Ms. Bayless, nor do we know her final wishes, since reports are conflicting regarding her paperwork.   She need not have used a form to convey how she wished to go, and might have made her intentions known by other means.

Please avoid the temptation to ascribe this event to Obamacare (which is much worse than being allowed to die a natural death in old age).   Please also withhold judgment on the nurse who stayed with Ms. Bayless as the emergency care was summoned.  It would also be good to avoid  assumptions about the daughter of this lady, about whom we know little, other than that she does not intend to rain down legal punishments upon Glenwood Gardens extended care facility.

Having attended a good number of code blue events,  Pharmer quite understands the choice of people to opt out of CPR, and expects to make this choice for herself long before the age of 80.  Many health care professionals actually  feel guilty when they have to perform it on an elderly person who has not expressed their wishes on the matter.

 Update from newsok.com: City fire officials say Bayless did not have a “do not resuscitate” order on file at the home. Her family said, however, “it was our beloved mother and grandmother’s wish to die naturally and without any kind of life-prolonging intervention.””

Click here for a statement from the family of Lorraine Bayless, and please don’t hound them!  If the first link does not work, try THIS.

Celestial Discharge: C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General

The most memorable of our surgeon generals, C. Everett Koop was celestially discharged at the age of 96, on Feb 25th.Koop with patient

Koop was well known, and disliked by leftists for his adherence to Hippocratic standards of medical ethics. A devout Christian,  he was known for praying at the bedside of his patients.  Pro-lifers saw him as a man of conviction, driven by empathy for the sick and suffering.

It remains a mystery to most of the ‘journalosts’  that a man who opposed homosexual activity would be a staunch advocate for HIV research.  Most of the media, when recounting the accomplishments of Dr. Koop, have been remarking on this as though it is somehow contradictory.   The rest of us see no contradiction or anomaly.  Helping the sick is the natural thing to do, regardless of how they acquired the illness.

Dr. Koop began his medical career as a pediatric surgeon, and by 1959 had become professor of Pediatric Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, and professor of Pediatrics in 1971.  In his 90s, he remained a professor of Surgery at the Geisel School of Medicine. He was founder and Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pediatric surgery.    Koop’s 8 year tenure as U.S, Surgeon General was at the behest of President Ronald Reagan, and up until the time of his death, he remained famous throughout the country for his  service.

Author of hundreds of articles and books on medical practice and policy, Dr. Koop remained a prominent figure in medicine decades after most practitioners retire. He remains recognized for his pioneering work in the area of pediatric surgery.  His first wife, Elizabeth Flanagan passed away in 2007, and in 2010, Dr. Koop married Cora Hogue.  She and three of his children, Allen, Norman and Elizabeth Thompson, as well as seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren remain with us. Prayers for the good physician and his family to be covered with God’s grace.

Pharmer takes this opportunity to pay respect to all of the  surgeons who pray with their patients as Dr. Koop did.  A surgeon who knows he’s not God inspires confidence.  :-)

Killing as an Essential Part of Health Care – the New Utopian Standard

From the Quebec “Dying with Dignity” Euthanasia Commission comes the following recommendation for providing physician assisted death.

By definition, medical aid in dying could only be provided by a physician. Under their codes of ethics, physicians and nurses are entitled to conscientious objection, meaning they can refuse to perform an act that goes against their values. Of course, physicians and nurses will retain this right where medical aid in dying is concerned. However, a doctor who refuses to provide medical aid in dying for reasons of conscience will have the duty to help his patient find another who is prepared to do so, as quickly as possible

via Quebec Doctors Forced Into Killing Patients in Assisted Suicide? | LifeNews.com.

Personal ethics notwithstanding, every  physician will have  to refer for killing, as a requisite function of medical practice in Quebec, if the above recommendation goes through.   Canada has little to no conscience protection for health care professionals who think that  killing is wrong.

There is 100% chance that the same will be expected of all U.S. physicians once Obamacare matures into its utopian form.

Most states already require pharmacists to refer patients to receive abortive drugs, if they choose not to dispense them.  Physicians are expected  to make the option of abortion known to a woman if her baby has an unfavorable prenatal diagnosis.   They fear legal liability if they do not.

These are the reasons that those who think that killing humans is wrong will need to avoid working in many of the  health care professions in the near future.

Why You Should Not Trust Statistics Coming From Abortionists

It appears that abortions of babies diagnose with cleft lip/palate, are 10 times as common as the UK health department reports.

The British Department of Health gets its figures on the abortion of babies with congenital anomalies from forms that abortionists fill out at the time of the procedure.

Eurocat  (agency which monitors congenital abnormalies in 23 countries) tracks a foetus from the time that he or she has been identified with an abnormality, with the initial data coming from those who make the diagnosis.  The fate of the fetus is then connected with this data.

While the UK Dept of Health recorded 14 abortions due to cleft palate in that country from 2006-2010,  Eurocat logged 147 such events in the UK.

During the same period, Eurocat also caught 250 babies  aborted in the UK for club foot.  The UK dept of health stopped recording this figure as a separate category after 2002, when they only recorded 2 cases.

The Eurocat number of abortions for Down syndrome in 2010 was 886, compared to the Dept of Health number, 482.

Abortionists are said to avoid filling out the reason for abortions on the forms either to spare the mother’s feelings or to avoid backlash from controversy over eugenic killings.

The UK Telegraph has some PAST related articles:
Twenty-six babies aborted for cleft lips or palates
Government secrecy on cleft palate abortions
Baby that survived abortion rejected for ‘cleft lip’

Study Suggests India Was Right to Utilize Television for Birth Control

The power of TV: watching 20 hours a week halves sperm count, according to new study – Health News – Health & Families – The Independent.

Another sperm study is associating inactivity, obesity and particularly watching television more than 20 hours per week with markedly reduced sperm counts.

A Study of 189 healthy, young  men, appearing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, tracked them for three months, observing diet, activities and sperm quality.   It found that men who watched the most television showed a 43%  reduction in sperm count, under those who watched the least.

Subjects who were the most active (more than 15 hrs of exercise per week) showed 73% increase in sperm count over those who were the least active.

Men who were active, but watched the most TV, also showed reduced counts.

The original rationale behind the Plan in India to give out televisions as birth control devices,  was that people would be too distracted and tired from staying up all night watching the tube.   The above study adds another mechanism by which television watching can lower the baby making.

Lawyer for Catholic Health Intitiatives Tosses out Church Directives in Lawsuit Defense.

In malpractice case, Catholic hospital argues fetuses aren’t people | The Colorado Independent.

This legal maneuver doesn’t  enhance the public image of Catholic Health Initiatives, and you can bet that Obama’s vultures are circling.  It appears from reports that Lori Stodghill lost her life at Thomas More Hospital in Canon City due to a pulmonary embolism which led to a massive heart attack.  Her two unborn babies also died, and  the current lawsuit argues that this need not have happened.  Dr. Pelham Staples, the  hospital’s obstetrician on call did not answer his pager, for reasons unspecified in the reports.

The surprise inside this case is the lawyer, proffering a defense that the babies are not legal persons, and therefore are not protected by Colorado malpractice statutes.  Lawyer Jason Langley argued that the court “should not overturn the long-standing rule in Colorado that the term ‘person,’ as is used in the Wrongful Death Act, encompasses only individuals born alive. Colorado state courts define ‘person’ under the Act to include only those born alive. Therefore Plaintiffs cannot maintain wrongful death claims based on two unborn fetuses.”

This kind of defense is not a good idea for Catholic Health Initiatives for a number of ethical reasons.   It could also cost their member institutions  more in philanthropic contributions than the cost of losing the Stodghill lawsuit.

It also undermines any Catholic objections to the HHS mandate.  Obama’s team must be laughing themselves silly to see such a bad maneuver by this significant group of  ideological opponents.

Is this battle worth losing the war?

Glaucoma is Cause for Euthanasia in Belgium

Euthanasia twins ‘had nothing to live for’ – Telegraph.

Marc and Eddy Verbessem, two identical twins, opted for euthanasia at age 45.  The pair had been born deaf  and lived together throughout their lives, working as cobblers.  They communicated with each other and with their other family members via a unique sign language.  After being told that they had  glaucoma, and would go blind,  the two were driven to despair, thinking that they would not be able to see each other anymore, and would need to be institutionalized.

The Verbessem twins, of Putte, a village outside of Brussels were refused euthanasia by their local hospital.  They did not fit the criterion of unbearable pain, which is the usual standard applied to allow this form of killing.   Their request was accepted by Professor Wim Distelmans, and was carried out at Brussels University Hospital in Jette.

Remy Verbessem, the twins’ older brother said that the two had suffered other medical conditions,  and that Eddy had a deformed spine, and had undergone heart surgery.  The twins feared that they would become blind from the  glaucoma.  Apparently the socialized medicine system of Belgium offers no adequate  treatments for glaucoma. 

Belgium is considering a new law which will allow euthanasia of children and Alzheimer’s patients.   The organs of those who are euthanized in Belgium are harvested for use in transplants.

St. Petersburg man who had kittens in his freezer roommates with suspects in double shooting, authorities say – Tampa Bay Times

St. Petersburg man who had kittens in his freezer roommates with suspects in double shooting, authorities say – Tampa Bay Times.

Pinellas Co Deputies answered a call to to the Vagabond Mobile Home Park, where they found kittens in the freezer of one  Rodney Blanchard.  Eva Mulder was visiting Blanchard, and when he asked her to get a brew from the freezer, she found the kittens instead.  He would not let her remove them, and instead kicked her out.   She then called the police, who found four flea ridden kittens, each wrapped in a sandwich bag.   The males were still alive, but the female had stopped breathing.  The SPCA took custody of the kittens and an adult cat from Blanchard’s trailer.  He is jailed for animal cruelty and misdemeanor battery.

Chilled Babies at Christ Hospital, Oaklawn Illinois.

From the testimony of Jill Stanek RN to the U.S. Congress

“Last year alone, of the 16 babies that Christ Hospital states were aborted, I am aware of four who were born alive. Each of these babies – two boys and two girls – lived between 1-1/2 and 3 hours. At Christ Hospital one of these babies once lived for almost an entire eight-hour shift. At least two of the second-trimester babies who were aborted last year at Christ Hospital were completely healthy.”

“When I testified before you last July, another nurse who worked at Christ Hospital, Allison Baker, also testified. Allison was not asked back today due to the new limit on the number of witnesses allowed. But last year Allison described walking into the Soiled Utility Room on two separate occasions to find live aborted babies left naked on a scale and the metal counter. She told about the patient that she herself had who didn’t know that her baby might be aborted alive and who did not then want to hold him. After he was taken to the Soiled Utility Room she kept asking, “Is he dead yet? Is he dead yet?” (This testimony is being entered today into the Congressional Record.)”

“Lest you think that Christ Hospital’s live birth abortion practice is uncommon, I am entering into Congressional Record today literature from a March 30, 2001, symposium sponsored by Waukesha Memorial Hospital in Wisconsin that was “reviewed and is acceptable” by the American Academy of Family Physicians, wherein Dr. Washington Hill writes that a “complication” of a mid-trimester labor induction is a “live birth.” The American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists also gave credit hours to physicians for taking this course.”

“After I testified last year, Christ Hospital stopped putting aborted babies to die in the Soiled Utility Room. This past December it unveiled its “Comfort Room.” This is a small, nicely decorated room complete with a First Foto machine in case parents want pictures of their aborted babies, baptismal supplies if parents would like their aborted babies baptized, and a foot printer and baby bracelets if parents would like keepsakes of their aborted babies. There is also a wooden rocker to rock these babies to death. (Pictures entered into Congressional Record.)” -7-12-2001

The practice of allowing premature babies to die of exposure, cold, and neglect was vigorously defended by then State Senator Barack Hussein Obama.  Illinois could not make the following practice illegal (2005) until Obama left the state to serve in the U.S. Senate.  Prior to this, (8/5/2002), President Bush signed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which had no opposition, even among the abortion supporting Senators and Representatives.

See also  Jill Stanek’s testimony to the Illinois Senate in March of 2001.

Run With Life: Late term abortions statistics – born alive

Run With Life: Late term abortions statistics – born alive.

Patricia Maloney explains how table 102-0536 of Statistics Canada can be filtered to show only those perinatal deaths resulting from live  birth abortion. The add remove option can be used to eliminate all causes of death except termination of pregnancy affecting fetus and newborn. (Note that the table’s default 5 year period is increased to 10 years.)
Logically, if you combine criteria of terminations affecting fetus and newborn with perinatal deaths, you get Live Birth Abortions, previously known as infanticides.

Click those links and figure it out for yourself.  The grand total is 491 infanticides recorded by Statistics Canada during years 2000-2009.

Caution to People Who Rejoice over 2009 CDC Abortion Data

New CDC data shows bungled abortion reporting in 2009.

Everyone is all abuzz over the 5% reduction in abortions shown in the 2009 CDC data. Instead they should be digging a bit deeper to see if the data really represents reality. Some pro-lifers target the reporters who expected an increase in abortions due to the economy. It’s true that poverty for women rose in 2009 and continues to do so.

The CDC is only able to count reported abortions, and therefore the data is necessarily incomplete. State laws requiring abortion reporting to a central agency vary from non-existent to un-enforceable.

The opportunity to induce home abortions and have them completed at hospitals has increased. These events cannot be reported as abortions unless the mom admits to doing something illegal, or accuses someone else of doing something illegal to her. Internet commerce has made home abortion chemistry much more accessible than in the past. Therefore it is unlikely that any numbers reported by the CDC are available. More recently Ulipristal acetate (Ella) has become available with online prescribing, providing a newer home abortion option using accumulated doses.

It should be noted that even without the above consideration, the CDC data on surgical plus mifepristone abortion is not comprehensive.

So far the joyful articles reporting the CDC abortion data of 2009 did not mention the LIMITATIONS section of the report, part of which is quoted below. Note that the CDC only reports 65 -69% of the abortions which are reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Read on:

“The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations. First, because reporting requirements are established by the individual reporting areas (17), the collection of data varies, and CDC is unable to obtain the total number of abortions performed in the United States. During the period covered by this report, the total annual number of abortions recorded by CDC was 65%–69% of the number recorded by the Guttmacher Institute (12,59), which uses numerous active follow-up techniques to increase the completeness of the data obtained through its periodic national census of abortion providers (12). Although most reporting areas collect and send abortion data to CDC, this information is given to CDC voluntarily. Consequently, during 2000–2009, seven of the 52 reporting areas did not provide CDC data on a consistent annual basis, and for 2009, CDC did not obtain any information from California, Delaware, Maryland, or New Hampshire.***** In addition, whereas most of the reporting areas that send abortion data to CDC have laws requiring medical providers to submit a report for every abortion they perform to a central health agency, in New Jersey and the District of Columbia, medical providers submit this information voluntarily (16). As a result, the abortion numbers these areas report to CDC are incomplete.††††† Moreover, even in states that legally require medical providers to submit a report for all the abortions they perform, enforcement of this requirement varies (60). Consequently, several other reporting areas tend to provide CDC with incomplete numbers.”

Monitor the New Secessionist Movement, and a Means to Destroy OBAMACARE

27 States Petition to Secede from the United States on Change.org | TheBlaze.com.

At least 30 states are circulating petitions to secede from the union. The surprise is that Blue states are among this group, with their numbers of petitioners keeping up with many red states. Texas, a state with the greatest capacity to survive on its own, has 40,000 petitioners so far.

In addition to this secessionist movement, many states have exempted themselves at least in part from Obamacare. Those with health care freedom added to their constitutions include Alabama, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming and Montana.
The following states have passed laws forbidding their state employees to implement Obamacare’s individual or employer mandates: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.

Pharmer recommends that people pressure their states to refuse to set up the insurance exchanges necessary to implement obamacare. The federal government did not allocate funds or any other means to set up the exchanges, and rely on cooperation from the states. Without this cooperation, Obamacare will essentially crash and burn.

Capitalism is Wonderful: Prize4Life cofounder Avichai Kremer

Profile of Avichai Kremer Prize4Life Leader With ALS | Lou Gherig’s Disease | TheBlaze.com.

Avichai Kremer has been living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease) for nine years.
He can no longer speak or move his hands, and may soon be on a ventilator to assist with breathing.

Kremer is cofounder and CEO of a non-profit foundation which awards SUCCESS in ALS research.
Goals are laid out by his foundation, Prize4Life, and researchers are paid the cash rewards for meeting them. In addition, prize winning scientists retain the licensing and ownership of their own successful results. A million dollar prize has gone to a researcher for developing a inexpensive diagnostic marker that accurately tracks the disease and its progression. This is a tremendous aid for all future clinical trials.
This year’s million dollar prize offering will go to the team which demonstrates a means to prolong the lives of ALS afflicted animals by 25%.
