Anti Abortion? FUCK YOU!

[thesummerqueen]

Because we haven't come up with ways other than the ones the anti-abortionists like to use to scare people to terminate pregnancies that minimize pain?

I'm simply taking the article as factual. That's what it said.

It is based on the disputed argument that a fetus may feel pain at that stage.

Julie Schmit-Albin, who heads Nebraska Right to Life, told the AP in a Sunday interview that the tragic outcome was better than an abortion:

"We acknowledge the tragedy that occurs with a poor prenatal diagnosis for the baby. But isn't it more humane for the baby to die in a loving manner with comfort care and in the arms of her parents than by the intentional painful death through abortion?"

I don't see anywhere that I can immediately click on here at work without further digging to confirm that Julie Schmit-Albin is a doctor qualified to make those determinations.

Fair enough. I defer judgement. None of the situation is without pain for the parent either. A friend went though a still birth. I think it was the most traumatic experience of her life. She's deeply scarred. Not helped by the mishandling of the medical care (she was left alone for 20 minutes with the dead fetus lying on the bed beside her).

I started ranting to Void on chat and he unbanned me and told me to go at it.

Shit like this makes me froth at the mouth.

How did you get banned in the first place?

[thesummerqueen]

I asked for it.

I would have been fine, trying to concentrate on other things, but I clicked on the link for the post off of my twitter feed and almost had a Lewis Blackian apoplectic fit.

Surely I'm too righteously sexy to be banned for other reasons.

parasite |ˈparəˌsīt|
noun
an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

Species is not relevant to whether a thing is a biological parasite: A fetus is an organism that is within another organism and is surviving by taking in some of the nutrients of the other organism.

Fair enough. I defer judgement. None of the situation is without pain for the parent either. A friend went though a still birth. I think it was the most traumatic experience of her life. She's deeply scarred. Not helped by the mishandling of the medical care (she was left alone for 20 minutes with the dead fetus lying on the bed beside her).

Honestly, the pain that the fetus/baby experiences before it (relatively) quickly dies is not so significant as the pain of the mother going through the nine months of carrying it while it developed, birth, and then dealing with it dying in pain or being born dead. To say nothing of a father watching his mate endure what pains are associated with pregnancy, birth, and then dealing with it dying in pain or being born dead. And I would bet my left ankle that there wasn't a single person in that room that wasn't affected by watching such a helpless being die without any way to help it (save killing it early, as I would have done if there was a knife available to me and I had to watch it).

While I hope to never fully understand the pain of your friend, I do empathize.
