Nurse News

Keeping track of the pro-life nurses…….

Remember  Cathy Cenzon-DeCarlo, who sued Mt Sinai Hospital in New York this past summer for coercing her to participate in an abortion procedure under falsely represented circumstances ? Though no medical emergency existed,  this nurse was threatened with loss of her job and nursing license if she did not assist with the procedure.

Cenzon-DeCarlo, with the Alliance Defense Fund  has initiated a second suit against the hospital  in the State of New York, in addition to the initial Federal lawsuit which is on appeal, based on violation of her rights of conscience.

Meanwhile, eight more nurses  have received an apology from Nassau University Hospital in Long Island for disciplinary action after they refused to take part in non-emergency abortion procedures.

Abortion Coercion by the Dept. of Human Services in PA?

Did DHS pressure teen to get abortion? | Philadelphia Daily News | 05/03/2010.

The attempt to squelch this story indicates that it is  true.

A 16 year old foster child, pregnant for the second time,  is said  to have been told that her first child would be taken from her if she did not get a late term abortion.  According to the news report, this claim comes from her foster mother and  her social worker, formerly employed by Concilio and subcontracted by DHS.

The girl  was eventually taken from school to a clinic in  New Jersey because abortions at 24 weeks are not permitted in Pennsylvania.

The Philadelphia daily news gives  a detailed coverage of this story, and VERY IMPORTANTLY,  notes the attempt by the Dept of Human Services to have the story squelched.

This story is spreading fast in the prolife news venues,  but  hasn’t been spotted by the Pharmer on national  wires yet.

The long report is worth reading for the main story of abortion  coercion,  the claim that the social worker, Marisol Rivera, was fired for refusing to take the girl for an abortion,  and some  DHS  statistics enumerating the abortions in which they have played a role.

Baby boy survives for nearly two days after abortion – Telegraph

Baby boy survives for nearly two days after abortion – Telegraph.

This case of infanticide may cause trouble for the abortionist practicing in Rossano, Italy for two reasons.

The infant survived the procedure, but was left for dead.  He was discovered to be still alive 2o hours later by the hospital chaplain who had visited to pray beside the body.  The chaplain noticed movement, and the baby was subsequently rushed to a neonatal unit in Consenza hospital where he died a day later.

So number one reason that the abortionists have trouble is that they abandoned a living baby to die.

Number two reason is that the estimated age of the baby at induced abortion was not correct.    This kid would not have lived for a whole  day unattended if he  were only 22 weeks along.

So this is  a much later term abortion attempt than was initially represented by the health care practitioners.

OOPS!!!!

Here’s a review of the Italian Abortion Law (194) which proscribes abortions of  fetuses which could potentially survive when separated from the mother, unless her life  is in danger.

Here’s hoping that the Italian health authorities are serious about their proposed investigation of this apparent  late term abortion turned infanticide.

The Politics of Maternal Mortality

The Associated Press: Lancet: Sharp drop in maternal deaths worldwide.

Editor of the Lancet,  Richard Horton, despite pressure from advocacy groups seeking UN grants,  published a paper on Sunday  showing a marked drop in worldwide maternal mortality rates.

Advocacy can sometimes gets in the way of science,  Horton said, indicating his disappointment at the pressure.

Maternal deaths fell from a half million yearly in 1980 to about 343,ooo in 2008.

Delay of the story until after the UN meetings was sought, as it was felt that this good news would impede the ability of various groups to obtain funding for their various methods of preventing births, which includes, of course, abortions.

Lifenews notes that Ireland, a country with pro-life laws in place,  has the lowest maternal mortality rate, while Nepal,  a country with abortion on demand, has one of the highest rates.

Maternal mortality Increased by 42% in the United States between 1980 and 2008, according to the study.  During this period,  federal law permitted abortion at all stages of pregnancy.

The study by Christopher Murray and colleagues at Washington State was funded by……… believe it or not, Bill and Melinda Gates.

Pharmacist charged after he allegedly forces girlfriend to miscarry | stargazette.com | Star-Gazette

Pharmacist charged after he allegedly forces girlfriend to miscarry | stargazette.com | Star-Gazette.

Pharmacist Orbin Eeli Tercero, on the run after “allegedly” forcing the abortion of his unborn child, has been apprehended in New York, and will face multiple charges in his home state of Pennsylvania.

In brief, Tercero was engaged to one woman, but had a second mistress on the side whom he made pregnant. He is charged with using misoprostil, a prescription-only, prostaglandin analog to produce a miscarriage of the mistress’s 13 week old unborn baby, without her consent.

This is one more example of circumstances under which abortion is not a woman’s choice, but she is made to have one anyway.

Perhaps this pharmacist will be back in practice in time for Obamacare. Given his attention to medical and personal ethics, he’d probably fit right in.

Indiana Right to Life Sets National Precedent with Resolution Denying Democrat Endorsements – Christian Newswire

Hot off the The Christian newswire, Indiana Right to Life has set a policy unlike any other prolife group thus far.  The group will endorse no democrat political candidates.   Prior to this, the group had abandoned hope of finding a suitable prolife democrat for the Indiana house, but their policy now universally abandons the  Dems as a whole.    This results from the Indiana congressional Democrats abandoning their prolife interests entirely, in favor of Obamacare.

Read the Indiana Right to Life proclamation below.

“Whereas the Democratic Party officially endorses the right to unrestricted abortion on demand; andWhereas Democratic leadership continues aggressively to advance federal policies that undermine the right to life of unborn children; andWhereas Congressman Brad Ellsworth, Congressman Baron Hill, and Congressman Joe Donnelly betrayed the trust of pro-life Hoosiers by voting for the pro-abortion federal health care reform bill; andWhereas the Democratic caucus in the Indiana House, under the leadership of Speaker Pat Bauer, continues to block all legislation aimed at limiting, restricting, and reducing abortions in the state of Indiana; andWhereas candidates of the Democratic Party are responsible for the policies and actions of the party and its leadership;Be it resolved that the Indiana Right to Life Political Action Committee will grant no endorsements to any Democratic candidates for any public office.”

Two Organizations Creating a Need for Themselves

Some activist organizations  (including PFLI) steadfastly remain as all-volunteer entities.  This eliminates the temptation to ensure survival by creating or exacerbating the  problem which the organization addresses.

On the other hand,  the Komen Foundation appears to have joined planned parenthood in  self arranging a plan for continuation into  perpetuity.

Planned parenthood encourages and feeds irresponsible sex behaviors, in order to create the need for its birth control services, including abortion.   Both the pill and abortion continue to show a link to increased breast cancer.

Komen Foundation funds planned parenthood organizations, and is increasing this connection.  Abortion and birth control pill use are both linked with breast cancer.  So it seems that Komen Foundation is developing a similar self perpetuating  strategy as it develops into  one of the most fashionable charitable causes.

A board member of Komen Foundation,( and the son of its founder) also maintains a joint business interest with planned parenthood of the great northwest.

Read details, brought to you by Jill Stanek, below, in the following two articles, both very much worth your  attention.
