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.
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.
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.
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%.
In the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases comes a study out of Germany, which finds higher incidence of Staph Aureus colonization in users of birth control pills.
Specifically, Gurls on the pill are 1.88 times more likely to have a positive nasal swab for Staph aureus, than females not taking the pill. The nose is where these bugz like to hide out. It’s warm and wet in there.
Those big sweaty guys are 1.57 times more likely then the demure and natural girls, not taking BC pills, to carry Staph in the nares.
The infectious disease docs think that this extra pool of staph carriers, associated with widespread use of the birth control pills, might significantly increase the reservoir of these bacteria in human populations, and the transmission of these pathogens to vulnerable individuals.
Our probes are pointing towards Sandra Fluke and the bulk users of BC pills at the steamy Georgetown University School of Law. Would they allow sampling from their nasal gardens of bacterial delights?
You can listen to Kathleen Sebelius lie about Obamacare, and resell to the dems, something that the majority of Americans do not want.
The most important thing to take away from her speech is the view that WOMANHOOD is a PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. A pre-existing condition is the insurance term for a DISEASE, already present, which would not be covered under a new health insurance contract until a grace period had passed. HIPAA regulations had pretty much removed contractual barrier to health care coverage.
The dem’s plan is focused on treating the biological characteristics of a woman as a disease. The dems see childbearing as a thing which must be controlled and suppressed with drugs and sterilization for the purpose of cost containment.
Says Sebelius: “Being a mother is no longer a liability, and being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition! That’s what change looks like.”
Unmentioned is that the necessary cost containment which comes with treating womanhood as a disease, is that the government will have control over the expression of said characteristic.
As in China, there will be the need, for top down administration of your reproductive life. If the government pays for it, the government will dicatate it, just as it does with everything else it controls.
Obama is rapidly shedding female votes, as more and more of them ponder the prospect of Chinese-style health care for women. His loss of support in recent polling is almost totally accounted for by the women who are changing their minds.
Don’t for get that Sebelius views woman-hood as a pre-existing condition, which the government must manage.
Freedom isn’t free. If reproductive autonomy is worth the price of heath care to you, Obama is not your man.
Patients from the U.S. have to go to other countries for autologous stem cell treatments (using the patient’s own cells) because of FDA regulations.
No, it’s not because of any restrictions by President Bush, (which limited funding for embryonic stem cells, not adult stem cells).
The FDA considers the use of the patients’ own cells as a new drug, because they go through processing for the purpose of increasing their numbers. Use of such cells would require a new drug application to the FDA, therefore the procedures have to be done in other countries.
A court has recently ruled, against the interest of Regenerative Sciences, a clinic that treats orthopedic patients, that the FDA retains the authority to regulate stem cell treatments.
Yes, it is the FDA, not President Bush, which is causing the outsourcing of autologous stem cell treatments.
According to a report supplied by Health Minister Lord Howe from the UK Department of Health, 3,144,836 Human Embryos have been created since passage of the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act in 1991. Of these, 94,090 have been successfully implanted, resulting in live births. 1,454,832 Human Embryos were discarded, 101,605 were allocated to destructive research, and 762,311 were placed in frozen storage.
IVF ought to be renamed In Vitro Abortion, given this abysmal record.
