IN THE WOMB (Part 1)
The National Geographic Series, “In The Womb” is now available on Youtube. I’ll be posting each of the nine parts over the next week and a half. Nothing does more to show the humanity of the unborn, than ultrasound images. Join me on this journey and see for yourself that life BEGINS, “In The Womb”.
Who will stand up for the disabled?
As I was reading this story all I could think is why are they thinking this is such a horrible thing? We say they are just a choice, right? We say it is okay for a woman to abort a wanted pregnancy because she finds out her child isn’t perfect. So, why is using them for biological weapons so shocking? It’s just the next natural step for the circular slippery slope, isn’t it? Or perhaps once
people realize these people deserve a chance to live based on this emotionally charged story we will start climbing up that slope instead of continuing the decline. One can only hope.
But among the accounts (from military soldiers that escaped N. Korea) they carried with them is one of the most shocking yet to emerge — namely the use of humans, specifically mentally or physically handicapped children, to test North Korea’s biological and chemical weapons.
"If you are born mentally or physically deficient, says Im, the government says your best contribution to society… is as a guinea pig for biological and chemical weapons testing."
The former military captain says it was in the early 1990s, that he watched his then commander wrestle with giving up his 12-year-old daughter who was mentally ill.
The truth about the uninsured
I saw these statistics this morning on the Fox News program Fox and Friends and have spent most of the morning verifying their numbers. I verified this information at the National Center for Policy Analysis(NCPA), Business and Media Institute, The Census Bureau, Employment Policies Institute, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Whew. 
So here it is:
We hear it all the time, that there are approximately 47 Million people uninsured. This number is true, but extremely misleading. The problem is they don’t tell you what qualifies as an uninsured person. The CBO report has the definition of uninsured as “uninsured at some point in time”. This is how long a person actually goes without insurance. If a person switches jobs and there is a 1 week gap between the Cobra insurance ending and the new jobs insurance beginning, that counts as one of the millions of uninsured.
All must provide Abortions
It appears that some hospital are forgetting their federal laws. Ending a resolution wrote by GW Bush does not change federal law and these hospitals are about to get a lesson in this.
First – the laws. Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter VIII section 300a-7 and Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter I Part b section238n are just two of the federal statues that prohibit discrimination against healthcare workers if they refuse to participate in an abortion or any other procedure that violates their religious practices.
Second – the story:
Catherina Cenzon-DeCarlo, a nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, was instructed to assist in a late second-trimester abortion for a woman 22 weeks into her pregnancy. The hospital had known of the nurse’s religious objections to abortion since she was hired in 2004.
Cenzon-DeCarlo reminded her supervisors of her religious objections, but was told that if she did not participate, she would be charged with “insubordination and patient abandonment,” which could result in disciplinary action and the possible loss of her job and nursing license.
Another lie is not hope and change
There was a young man from Chicago
Whose politics were a lot like the lotto
He pushes the bills through
Which helps just a few
and “I didn’t read it” is his Motto
Let me give you two recent quotes from President Obama:
“If you have health insurance, and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period.’"
Yet, here is his response to the question – "Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?"
"You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about."
And guess what? He said both of these statements during a conference call he had with left leaning bloggers! The same interview on the same day.
This is all because of a new bill, H.R. 3200, "America’s Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009," is being pushed through Congress. It has 1,018 pages to it. Obama doesn’t want it read, because if Congress does that they may notice that money goes where it isn’t supposed to go A La the AIG bonuses. He needs this bill passed before Congress goes back to their home states during the break. This is because less than 50% of Americans now approve of this bill and our representatives will be getting an ear full about this.
Private Insurance is a hit
Did you know that many people are actually happy with their Private Health Insurance? Who would have known this since the White house keeps saying we are in a “health care crisis”?
Zogby has a new poll out – one of the largest polls this year which has a 1.6% margin of error – which means it is as closer to the truth than most polls which have a 3% + margin of error:
The year’s biggest survey on healthcare reveals most Americans oppose the very reforms that President Obama is trying to push through Congress.
Among those currently insured, Zogby reports, 84 percent are satisfied with their current health care. Also, four out of every five people surveyed (80%) agreed that rising healthcare costs are hurting American businesses.
Pollster John Zogby says the results indicate that Americans want costs reduced and wish for everyone to be insured. But they are deeply divided on how to accomplish those goals.
One of the concerns: the estimated $1 trillion cost over the next decade of expanding health care coverage.
It’s Alive! Alive!
So, here is yet another study that shows unborn babies are indeed human beings with emotions and feelings:
Scientists from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maastricht University Medical Centre and the University Medical
Centre St. Radboud, both in the Netherlands, based their findings on a study of 100 healthy pregnant women and their fetuses with the help of some gentle but precise sensory stimulation……..
The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation – or about two months before they are born.
“In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later,” said the research, which was released Wednesday.
The researchers found that the babies acclimated themselves to the sounds and vibrations to the point that they no longer bothered to respond – a process known as “habituation.”
“The stimulus is then accepted as ’safe’ ” by the babies, the study said.
The team also found that the tiny test subjects actually improved these skills as they grew older, with those who were 34- or 36-weeks old clearly showing that they had become familiar with the hum outside the womb.
NICE health care
Excerpts from a Wall Street Journal article July 7 on page A14 Opinion section:
Speaking to the American Medical Association last month, President Obama waxed enthusiastic about countries that "spend less" than the U.S. on health care. He’s right that many countries do, but what he doesn’t want to explain is how they ration care to do it.
He compares our system to the United Kingdom’s system which spends half as much per capita of what the US does on health care. He goes on to explain how they do this. First was the introduction of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) which is the special health authority for the National Health Service.
As health costs have exploded in Britain as in most developed countries, NICE has become the heavy that reduces spending by limiting the treatments that 61 million citizens are allowed to receive…..
NICE ruled against the use of two drugs, Lapatinib and Sutent, that prolong the life of those with certain forms of breast and stomach cancer…..ruling against drugs…. that would help terminally ill kidney-cancer patients……NICE’s clinical and public health director, noted that "there is a limited pot of money," that the drugs were of "marginal benefit at quite often an extreme cost," and the money might be better spent elsewhere.
To lie or not to lie, that is the question
So which is it?
If a pregnancy was terminated for any reason, this heightened the risk of premature and very premature delivery in subsequent pregnancies.
If a previous pregnancy had to be terminated for any reason, that may increase the risk of premature rupture of the membrane, premature and very premature delivery in subsequent pregnancies.
If a previous pregnancy had to be terminated for any reason, premature birth was a risk in subsequent pregnancies.
And women who have had more than one abortion double their risk of having a "very" premature baby – classed as being born before 34 weeks.
Those who terminate a pregnancy are subsequently more likely to give birth prematurely, with two or more abortions more than doubling the odds.
Can you believe they are all talking about the same report report? It was the analysis of 75 different
studies from 1980 – 2008 presented at European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) annual meeting. Dr Robbert van Oppenraaij, from Erasmus MC University Medical Centre in Rotterdam was the leader of this report.
All of them say the same things in regards to a miscarriage:
