We could just just our eyes and pretend this doesn’t happen in the USA. Actually it’s pretty common because you can even import your very own mifepristone and cytotec. But this do-it-yourself abortionist found the absolute fastest way to get the job done, using Prostamate, a drug used to abort cattle. Read about the similar Cervidil insert used in humans to induce labor (whether the fetus is ready or not) , which contains the same prostaglandin.

Farmers use this to correct the problem of having an undesirable bull running loose among the herd, or for a number of other reasons including synchronization of breeding cycles.
I have often said that the Veterinary practices operate by higher medical standards than abortionists. Certainly their clinics are required to adhere to more stringent standards of care.
But a good deal of veterinary drugs are available for purchase by farmers. Similarly, a good deal of abortion drugs are available on the black market, and there is the early abortifacient Plan B available over the counter, for purchase by anyone over18, who may then administer it to a female of any age.

So both very early, and later abortions are available without intervention of a medically trained practitioner. Any lady not wishing to be aborted in the same manner as a cow needs to be vigilant.

The Planned Parenthood/Racism bombshell finally has gotten to the mainstream media.

You can see what it’s all about by watching my video bar, or you can read the link. For weeks and weeks the recordings been all over the net and in alternative news sites and commentaries. Then it went to Drudge, then Laura Ingraham, then Rush. I guess after millions of people have heard talk show hosts laughing at the news media for not covering this, it’s finally happened at Fox news.

Don’t waste your money paying to see or read the mainstream news. You’ll just be kept in the dark, or remain months and years behind if you rely on that as your main source of info. Industry that performs so poorly really shouldn’t have paying customers.

About the story: Planned parenthood staffers are caught on audio, accepting donations and agreeing to earmark them to abort minority (particularly Black) babies. About half of Black babies in the U.S. are aborted. This is much higher than the rate for other minorities or Whites.

{Another past sting, ignored by the mainstream media, is the set of 800 plus recordings of a person posing as a 13 year old, seeking to abort a baby fathered by her adult “boyfriend”. The recordings are of offers and advice to the girl, from abortion clinic staffers, on concealing the statutory rape. This is illegal activity for any real health care provider, but apparently is OK for abortion providers. This site has retained a selection of the recordings with clinic names.}

Christian group is suing Google for religious discrimination and censorship in its ad sales.
Some prolife stuff is way more shocking than the sickest porn, it seems.

I’m in favor of healthy competition on the internet and search engines, and am always ready to support alternatives, as I support the alternatives to Microsoft and HP, and Starbucks, and any other industry that gets heavily tied into liberal politics.

What’s your favorite blogger site with the EASIEST interface?

Another future flop in the pharmaceutical marketplace is this version of the male birth control concept. I wrote it 10 and a half years ago, and it remains true. Normal guys won’t take hormonal birth control.
Men aren’t going to do this to themselves . For example, from the article:
School of Management sophomore Matt Mintz said men should think contraception is their responsibility, but said current methods are effective enough without extra medication.
Only women are crazy enough to pump their bodies full of hormones, when there’s no disease to treat.

This product being developed in Sydney, Australia contains testosterone and progestin, so there’s no good reason to expect that with long term use of this product, normal fertility would return. It doesn’t matter what the developer claims. We’ve been there, done that. Forget it.

Just another memory from the prediction department…… one of my pharmacy professors bet me that there would be an effective vaccine for HIV in 5 years. I told him it would be decades or never, because the virus changes rapidly (even in the same host). That bet was in 1988… Follow the Pharmer 😉

CBS is considering the use of CNN news for some of its news gathering. It’s a sign of financial troubles affecting all of the mainstream media, but it seems that CBS has been hit most acutely with its recent 13 percent drop in viewership.

There has been a lot of talk of establishing this kind of relationship. It’ll be interesting to see if the partial merging of services actually happens, or if perhaps either one of these news venues folds first. I do my best to avoid each of them. No cable in the house, and I don’t watch either of them. I’ve concluded from personal experience that most mainstream news reporters aren’t ‘running on all four cylinders’, and recommend that people use the internet and multiple written sources for news.

Puhleeeeze don’t be leaning on television news for your election decisions!

As much as I think our legal system is crazy, I don’t want the protections which Johnson and Johnson is currently seeking in the courts.
No the FDA isn’t the final word. Pharmacists see one recall after another, and constant shifts in the drug “black box” warnings. Some drugs which I refused to carry or dispense, due to their lack of merit were later removed from the market for safety or efficacy reasons. I suspect that another one is going to go, because estimates of its effectiveness were greatly exaggerated.
I’d like to see general tort reform. Lawyers are just too eager to see human misery converted into cash for themselves. Punitive damages should be converted to programs for preventing similar mishaps, rather than cash windfalls for the lawyers.

I’d recommend that if Johnson and Johnson is protected from its misrepresentation of Ortho Evra that people seriously reconsider using any newer drugs for “preventative” reasons.

UK Pensioner pulls her own teeth after being unable to find a dentist to treat her painful condition.

This article in the UK Daily Mail is worth seeing. The dental care there seems to be getting well known for this kind of problem. A quote is below, and the link above.

Mrs Green, a former chef, said it was made plain to her that if she could pay for treatment she would have been welcomed.

“I feel so angry,” she said. “I’ve worked all my life and paid taxes and then when I need help I can’t get it.”

That’s a huge plus.

Pope says that divorce and abortion are an offense to God

From the article:

“They are serious offences… which violate human dignity, inflict deep injustice on human and social relations and offend God himself, guarantor of conjugal peace and origin of life,” he said.

However he added that there were people who had committed such “errors” but “suffered from wounds to the soul” and “sought peace.”

Charlton Heston’s family released this statement on his passing from this earth. Normally I don’t follow Hollywood much, because it’s gotten to be such a freekshow. However, Mr. Heston was a classic, and a pretty normal guy for an actor. Rest in Peace!

One roadblock to oversight in all medical areas is HIPAA.

HIPAA is a classic example of the government screwing up everything it touches.

Because of HIPAA, if you arrive at the hospital unconscious, only people whom you remembered to name on medical records (which might take a while to recover) can be told that you’re in there. So for a good while you might be in the care of STRANGERS, who will be making all sorts of decisions concerning your welfare. People who don’t have close friends and family in the area are in Trouble.

Because of HIPAA, it’s really hard to gather data about what’s happening to a patient and to bring about intervention if something unethical has been done.
The reporting mostly depends upon a whistleblower, health care worker kissing away his job by turning in his employer. Few people have this much conscience or courage. Sometimes the effort is for naught.
