Stand.

    The rate at which we kill our children is astounding. The reason you have not seen a new post from me in a while, or at least one of length, is because I had simply run out of fuel. Not to say run out of fuel in the sense of the horrible things I see and hear about each day, but of the fuel I need mentally and emotionally to deal with the society we live in that has become so desensitized to death and that has so far diminished the value of life. Day after day I see posts, or videos of women saying words like "parasite", "worthless", "I don't care", "my body, my choice"; but who can blame them? They have grown in a society so full of hatred and selfishness, that some place like a woman's womb is no longer a safe, loving environment but a place were cold metallic instruments, and vacuums invade on a daily basis. Over the past few weeks I sat reading, and watching on the verge of tears after seeing countless women devalue a life they had created. And I will tell you, I almost gave up. I almost gave up my fight but, not again. I will continue to stand for what I believe in, for the life of all humans, and all human rights. Will you?

Physical Risks Of Abortion

Before you continue please read my "First things first, what is abortion?" post where I explain in detail about each type of abortion to provide a better understanding of the following.
Now, just like every medical procedure there are risks, mental and physical; and todays topic is of physical risks associated with each type of abortion.

Most Common Physical Risks Associated With Abortion

Medical Abortion

Medical abortion or the abortion pill, often causes severe pain and sometimes opiates are prescribed to relieve pain. Another very common physical side affect is uterine bleeding, women often must wear a pad or liner for sometimes up to six weeks due to the amount of blood flow. Allergic reactions may also occur.

Suction Aspiration Abortion

Though a local anesthetic is used some woman do experience pain during the procedure, the pain has been compared to the same pain intensity as a bone fracture. Bleeding is also a result due to the use of the curette that scrapes the inside of the uterus for any left over body parts of the fetus. Infertility is common in cases where the curette is overused or used to roughly thus scarring the uterus. 

Salt Poisoning (Saline Abortion)

After the injection a woman may develop a condition known as consumption coagulopathy, where she may experience blood clotting all over her body. In the event that the solution enters the blood stream, seizure, coma, or death could also be a possible result.

Prostaglandin Abortion

Due to the violent nature of this method cervical trauma is common. Infection is also possible along with hemorrhage caused by severe contraction of the muscles.

Now, you may have noticed the descriptions were very short but, that is because I tried to only state the risks without getting into the actual procedure which I have already posted here. 

Also, please remember my goal here is not to scare anyone. These types of things can be scary, but I am only trying to provide a resource.        

Thank you for reading!

Wait! Don't Forget!

I have recently been getting more traffic on my blog, which don't get me wrong it's great but, I've noticed my post on my personal stance has been getting the most views. With that, I love that my personal views are being acknowledged but, please take a moment to read the interview with Oh-Snap-Pro-Lifers, my post on what abortion is and my greetings to you all! 

Greetings and hello! Find out what I'm about!

Oh-Snap-Pro-Lifers!

What is abortion?

Quickie #3!

Blog News:

Sorry for not posting any meaty content for a few days. My Oh-Snap-Pro-Lifers interview is still on but probably wont be up for a few more days. I did have a post in mind that I have been working on about physical implications of abortions but I am still researching. After all I don't want any false information, because Lord knows there is plenty of it out there. But keep in touch for those two posts coming up soon and some of my own personal views on pro-life topics as well.

Personal News:

I have just recently found an organisation that I think I may want to be a part of. Traditional feminism and pro-life combined! Who said you cant be both? But I'll be looking further into the group before I make any decisions or references to them. 

Thank you for your patience!  

Oh! Don't forget to vote on your stance in the sidebar to the left!

Quickie #2!

Just to let you all know, I have my blogs very first interview coming up! All with the lovely ladies of the blog Oh-Snap-Pro-Lifers! I'm very excited to show you some responses of other pro-life supporters, in hopes to show the diversity and unity of the pro-life stance. I hope it will be posted within the next day or so, so keep in touch.
Go Pro-Life!

My Personal Stance On Popular Questions/Phrases

Please, please, please, understand, this post will be purely my personal views on popular questions and topics of abortions and the pro-life stance. I myself am not representing the general consensus of all pro-life supporters. You may disagree with some things I have to say and I assure you it is to be expected. Please, do not go debating with any other pro-life supporters using just this information or only my opinions. I will be using questions or phrases I myself have personally encountered via social network or in my everyday social encounters.

How can you value an unborn fetus above the mother?

Answer: I do not. I consider them equal. Which is why I do not condone one to be murdered. I do not put the right to choose, above the right to life, and I do not think murder should be something we have a right to choose. 

What about rape/incest? 

Answer: I understand these instances may have a harmful emotional and physical impact on the woman. But how can you judge a child for the doings of the father? They did not choose to have a rapist for a father, so I do not condone the right to choose their murder. Adoption and other services such as counseling are available for the victims of these crimes.

What if the mothers life is in danger?

Answer: I myself do not believe just because ones life may possibly be in danger that it is okay to kill another.

Why do Pro-Lifers use guilt trips to prove their point?

Answer: It would not be a guilt trip, if there were nothing to feel guilty about.

What if the child grows up in poverty/abusive home?

Answer: Everyone is so quick to throw the child into an assumed life of abuse, and poverty and every other bad situation they can think of. If only people would give the child a chance. The same words could have been used against you, but you are alive. Bad things happen everyday, to everyone, at any point in life, but why kill someone because there is a chance at hardship? You do not know the future.

What if a child is going to be disabled? 

Answer: I do not think we as human beings, have any right to judge a persons quality of life. Especially from our point of strength. In that manner of thinking we may as well murder the people who are born with disabilities. I'm sure many of you will say otherwise but think, you are killing one for having an issue, why not the others?

Even if abortion is illegal abortions will still happen and be dangerous/harmful, are you okay with that?

Answer: Drugs are illegal, yes? Yes. But if they weren't there would most likely be millions of stoned, high addicts roaming around, with a crack shop on every corner. Nothing that is illegal is ever truly stopped completely, a fact I understand. Fortunately, when a law is in place, it drastically decreases the activity that it holds illegal. So in short, having abortion be illegal, though it will not fully stop women from having them, it will decrease the rate greatly. 

As for the abortions being dangerous after they are illegal, the answer to that is simple. Short history lesson; before abortions were illegal they did not use hangers, or any other household item to shove up themselves to kill the unborn. Those stories are few and far between, but have been taken, publicized, and used as a pro abortion weapon. Not to say that some of those types of cases did not happen, but the majority of "back alley" abortions were done by physicians. So in most cases of the illegal abortions, one can only logically assume there will still be "back alley" abortionists in clinics like before, just as there are illegal drug dealers. Have I made my point?

If you don't like abortion, then don't have one. 

Answer: That is almost the same as saying "don't like rape, don't rape", "don't like murder, don't murder". I know that sounds horrible, right? To get a point across you sometimes have to say things people do not like. To save lives we have to reveal the types of things that are being said to blanket the minds of our society. And, I do understand rape is a violation of a woman, but abortion is a violation of the fetus, rape is a heinous crime, as well as abortion. Now please understand we are talking about the murder of innocent life, not the flavor pizza crust you would like. Being nonchalant about such a thing is outrageous to me, this is not a personal preference this is a matter of life and death.

What if contraceptive isn't effective and now I'm pregnant /Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy. 

Answer: My personal belief is you shouldn't have intercourse unless you are ready emotionally, physically, and financially prepared. However, I do also understand sex is fun and you want to "do it", but along the way you have to realize there are consequences for every action. Consent to sex is indeed consent to pregnancy. You can try to hold off pregnancy but, if it happens, you performed the act used for reproduction and you reproduced. Sex is made for reproduction; humans and animals alike are aware of this. Though we are not animals, we do have a reproductive purpose and sex is the way to it. Don't have sex unless you are completely aware, willing and ready for the possibility of pregnancy.

Do you think men should have a say in a woman's decision to abort?

Answer: I one hundred percent believe a man should have just as much say in the topic abortion as woman. To clarify I do not believe the choice to have an abortion should be available to anybody, but the issue on weather or not they should have a say, I believe they should. After all it took two people to create the unborn child in the first place.

Its my body so it is my choice/I don't want a parasite inside me. 

Answer: No it is not your body. You made the choice to partake in activity that could result in pregnancy. You do not have the right to make a life or death choice to the new body inside that you created. 

How can an innocent unborn child be called a parasite? It's not some foreign microscopic bug that has entered your uterus while you were swimming in a foreign body of water, or a leech that is sucking your blood. It is a dependent child, that needs food and protection. Just like every one else on the planet.

What if I just don't want it/Its an inconvenience

Answer: Just because a child may not be what you want, or inconvenience you does not give you the right to be a murderer. A toddler can inconvenience a mother, or maybe she just doesn't want the toddler anymore, is it right for her to kill it?  Take responsibility.

 

There are many, many more questions I have yet to state here but, I feel as though I've said enough to give you a picture on my own personal views on abortion and the reasons people try to give to condone having them. I have also covered my responses to some of the questions I have been asked as a pro-lifer. 

Once again, please do understand that this post is of my pro-life stance. Other pro-life supporters may have slightly different thoughts than me and I am not speaking for all pro-lifers. Thank you for taking an interest in me and my pro-life education journey, and I hope you come back soon. Thank you!

First things first, what is abortion?

Now, what is abortion?

A word that is either said with pride, regret or even anger. A touchy word for a lot of people but, a word to be shouted for others. But what is the definition of the word abortion? That is what I am here to tell you but, also of the procedure that is done to provide the abortion, due to the fact there is no abortion without the procedure, correct? We will start with the definition, taken from different sources on the internet and hand held dictionaries. 

The definition. 

From Dictionary.com:

a·bor·tion

  

noun

1.

Also called voluntary abortion. the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.

2.

any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, especially during the first six months.

3.

Also called spontaneous abortion. miscarriage.

4.

an immature and nonviable fetus.

5.

abortus

Websters dictionary states the definition of abortion as follows: 
1. the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: as
A. spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation
B. induced expulsion of a human fetus
C. expulsion of a fetus by a domestic animal often due to infection at any time before completion of pregnancy
2. monstrosity
3. arrest of development (as of a part or process) resulting in imperfection; also : a result of such arrest

Now What Is The Procedure of Abortion?

There are several procedures of abortions, most depend on the term the pregnancy is in at the time. All result in the removal of the fetus, and ultimately its death. 

Medical Abortion

Usually done in the early stages of pregnancy, medical abortion is the use of medications also known as the abortion pill, to terminate a pregnancy. The pills work by blocking the hormone progesterone, which in doing so causes the lining in the uterus to break down, thus rendering the uterus incapable of continuing the pregnancy. Often times more than one pill is required to stop the pregnancy. The next medication required in a medical abortion is misoprostol. This medication is placed inside the vagina and causes the womb to contract, causing cramping and bleeding such as in a miscarriage. A second doctor appointment is often recommended to make sure the pregnancy has ended. Serious birth defects can follow a insufficient medical abortion, so in the event of a failure a surgical abortion would then be recommended.

Suction Aspiration Abortion

Common in the first trimester, suction aspiration is a procedure that a plastic tube is inserted inside a woman's uterus. The tube is connected to a vacuum pump that is about 30 times more powerful than your household vacuum cleaner. In some cases once the tube is in place, if the fetus is small enough it can be dislodged from the uterus and sucked up all in one piece from the womb. In other cases, forceps are inserted along with the tube to dislodge the baby and tear it into pieces for easier suction. A curette, which is a hook shaped knife, is then used to scrape the uterus for any remaining parts of the fetus. 

Salt Poisoning (Saline Abortion) 

This method of abortion is used after the 16th week of pregnancy (there has been cases as late as 7 months), where a saline injection is introduced into a woman's womb to kill the unborn baby. The saline is taken in by the fetus and burns them from the inside out. The fetus is usually dead within an hour, and is then given birth to within 24 hours.  

Prostaglandin Chemical Abortion 

A series of chemicals are injected into the womb, and prostaglandin in inserted into the vagina to create intense and violent contractions with the goal of crushing the unborn child, and sometimes even decapitating it. This often involves pain for the woman, and is not a preferred method among women and abortionists alike. 

Other Practices of Abortion Procedures

Often times if a baby is born still alive even after attempts to abort it, the abortionist either throws the baby away, suffocates or cuts the child to finish the abortion. 

Now that I have provided you a factual description of abortion, please take a look at "Physical Risks of Abortion".
