Left is Still Whining that the Right Wants to Ban Birth Control

~ Pharmer ~ 2 Comments

You can head over to Mother Jones if you want to watch the wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Basically their author, Molly Redden, says that pro-lifers are conflating abortion and birth control, and want to ban both.  It’s been fun to see the left finally admit (after years of being derided for their science illiteracy)  that stopping implantation is a significant mechanism of birth control hormones.

Yours truly dropped the following comment. It’s an opportunity to inform leftists about the Plan B scam, and other problems with birth control hormones.  Maybe it will stir the denizens of the left-cloud  up a bit. You might want to join in the debate.

Unmentioned in this article is Ella (ulipristal acetate) the newly touted morning after pill which takes the place of Plan B, since the latter drug known to be ineffective for average sized American women.  Ella is an analog of mifepristone (RU-486), and of course it shares the the same mechanisms of action.
The  various mechanisms of birth control pills are not new.  The only thing that has changed is that more people know about it, thanks to the coercive actions of employers and governments.  The newer “development” is the religious belief that implantation confers a different status upon the growing human organism.  Killing the human organism prior to implantation, according to this religion, is birth control, and after implantation, the act becomes worthy of the name, “abortion”.
This tired article pushes the meme that women are too incompetent to obtain their own birth control, and that Obama should provide it (with our money).  One amusing fact is that Obama care provides only limited access, and many women are being forced to buy their preferred types of birth control hormones because their Obamacare does not “care” enough.
Meanwhile, women continue to troop through the hospitals with thromboembolic (blood clotting) events and various other untoward side effects of birth control hormones.  They have been very tolerant of life threatening “medical care”, so this is all OK as far as the lefties are concerned.
Some day, women might get tired of routine chemical alterations to their bodies, and learn how to regulate their reproductive potential using natural, safer, more ethical, and more effective means.

Jonathan Gruber: Killing for Crime Control

~ Pharmer

Mona Charen has dredged up more Jonathan Gruber sludge, linking him to the Killing for Crime Control thesis made famous in the Freakonomics book and ensuing debate.

Referencing this 1998 article by Jonathan Gruber, et al, Freakonomics author Steven Levitt and colleague, John Donahue argued in a 2002 Quarterly Journal of Economics  article  that the availability of abortion had significant influence in lowering the crime rate.  This later was made available for public consumption in the 2005 Freakonomics chapter on abortion.

Besides connecting Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber with more of his macabre plans for social engineering, this underscores another leftist inconsistency.  Usually these people are arguing to mitigate penalties against established criminals, yet here you see them supporting the idea of aborting babies from groups considered  more likely to become social liabilities.  That’s the same as a death penalty exacted before a crime is even contemplated.

Gruber’s own conclusions from 1998: “Perhaps more importantly, these findings may also have implications for the lifelong prospects of the average child born after legalization. The children not born due to abortion availability would have grown up in adverse living circumstances that other studies have shown may be detrimental to later prospects.”

What other interesting ideas from the mind of Johnathan Gruber have made their way into the intrinsic design of Obamacare?

Birth Control Mechanisms

~ Pharmer

Lifesite News has put up a little slide show of images showing how various types of birth control operate. Each image is taken from the pharmacology section of info that the drug manufacturers publish for health care providers. None of this information is new, and if you never heard it from your doctor or CNP………. well……

Part of birth control effectiveness is due to processes that occur AFTER fertilization.

You can learn about some more birth control at the Chemical Abortion page listed above.

Treating People as Livestock

~ Pharmer

The CDC’s latest abortion data (2011) features some strikingly tragic statistics from New York City.  It continues to corroborate the contention that minorities are relegated to the status of livestock in leftie land.

77.56% of the abortions in NYC are of Black and Hispanic babies.  Blacks make up 25.5%, and Hispanics comprise 28.6% of the city’s population.  31,188 Black babies (46.1% of total) and 23,929 Hispanic babies (31.4% of total) lost their lives to elective abortion in 2011.   44% of NYC’s population is considered White,  and that group accounted for 12.5% of abortions.

New York City aborted 76,251 babies, more than any other STATE, in the union.  New York State’s abortion total is 103,339.  Texas trails NYC with 71,658 abortions.  Data from Illinois is not available.

The CDC report crunches numbers for only about half of the 50 states.  Click HERE for the report.

Does Your Obamacare Plan Cover Elective Abortion?

~ Pharmer

The Charlotte Lozier Institute and Family Research Council have been collecting data on thousands of plans offered through the Obamacare  exchanges to determine which ones cover elective abortions.  An interactive map is provided at their website, that delineates which states have opted out of elective abortion coverage.  Other states can be clicked to find out which plans covered abortion in 2014, and data is being collected on the plans for 2015.

Extreme “lack of transparency” on the part of  the Obama administration has made it hard to determine which plans are sequestering funds from their customers for abortion coverage.  People who have obtained such info about their own plans are invited to contact the organization, so the information can be added to their website.  Others can check to see whether their state has opted out or whether their own plan covers abortion.

 

Planned Parenthood Files Lawsuit for Survival of Last Cincinnati Clinic

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

An Ohio law requires abortion clinics to have an agreement with a hospital for the transfer of patients on an emergency basis.  This regulation has contributed to the closure of Martin Haskell’s clinic in Sharonville, Ohio, and is set to cause the demise of the abortion clinic that Kresge Foundation $$ rebuilt on Auburn Avenue, near Christ Hospital in Cincinnati.

Planned Parenthood has filed a “civil rights” suit challenging the regulation requiring that patients injured in an abortion clinic have a fast track to a hospital.  Planned Parenthood formerly had an agreement with the University of Cincinnati Hospital, but that agreement has ended pursuant to another regulation banning such arrangements with public   hospitals.  The Women’s Med Center in Kettering, Ohio (Dayton’s last abortion clinic)  has a similar lack of patient transfer agreement with a hospital, and is also at risk of being shuttered.

Ohio Right to Life points out that the Federal Judge, Timothy S. Black, an Obama appointee who was chosen to preside over Planned Parenthood’s legal proceedings, has served on the Board of Planned Parenthood Association of Cincinnati, from 1986 to 1989, and part of that time as president.  One wonders if it is proper for a judge to hear a case involving a plaintiff with which he has had a such a direct association.

It’s Back: HCG in the Tetanus Vaccines Combating Fertility in Kenya

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Those population controllers are always trying to tell Brown people how many babies they can have, and it looks as though an old, sneaky method of stopping pregnancy is making another round.

Popping up in Kenya this time, is the old HCG in the tetanus vaccine trick.  It has all the markers of previous suspected lacings of tetanus vaccines, given to pregnant women in Mexico in 1993, and the Philippines in 1994.  In the latter case, HCG was actually found in vaccine samples, and antibodies to HCG were demonstrated in women who had received the vaccine.  The antibodies to HCG bind to the natural hormone found in a woman’s body when she gets pregnant, and inhibit further support of the pregnancy.  A miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) ensues.

The Catholic Bishops of Kenya, getting no cooperation from the government, obtained six samples of tetanus vaccine and had them tested at labs in Kenya and in South Africa.  All six of them showed the presence of HCG.  The Kenyan government persisted in denying that there could be any HCG in tetanus vaccines provided under the auspices of the World Health Organization and UNICEF.  A press release from the Catholic Bishops of Kenya details the story, and two other articles are hosted by COGforlife.org, HERE.

Such misuse of vaccines is bound to increase mistrust by the public, and lead to the failure of legitimate programs for the prevention of disease  in the future.

 

Call a Waaaaaaaaaaambulance for Abortion Barbie

Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!
Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!

The Wendy Davis  campaign for  Texas Governor has gone down in flames.  She lost to Greg Abbott in a 60% to 38% landslide.

Seeing Tea Partier, Konni Burton defeat her hand picked candidate, Libby Willis has to be putting a double hurt on the pink sneakered, catheter wearing, queen of the filibuster.

Aboard the Waaaaaaaaaaambulance is plenty of sterile water for irrigating the salt from Wendy Davis’ wounds.  It’s been a hard night for that extremist, Democrat supporter of late term abortion.

Young Turks are heard whining about Sabo’s “Abortion Barbie” Art

Sabo is a graphic artist transplanted to California, where he has been creating street art that lampoons the left.   His first attempt at jewelry design is a SNIP at Wendy Davis, whom he first represented as Abortion Barbie.  While not totally in the pro-life camp, Sabo finds Wendy’s resolute support of late term abortion (opposition to the 20 week limit on abortions in TX) too much to bear, and this inspired both his well known poster and the earrings.  Sabo is prolific in production of very edgy art, guaranteed to offend many. His work was featured at the rollout of Breitbart California.  Sabo’s  digital media, ripping the left,  can be viewed at his websites, which also provide opportunities to support his work.
