Pro-Abort Women Lament Dearth of Vocal Pro-Abort Men
Newsweek featured a conversation among liberal feminists about the future of the abortion movement.  Surprising to me was a recurring lament about the shortage of outspoken pro-abort men. 

How schizophrenic. How hypocritical.

What, now that they're losing the abortion battle they admit they can't handle it on their own?

They need men's help, seriously? 

Over 37 years ago feminists outlawed giving fathers any say whatsoever when aborting children they may want while forcing fathers to financially support children they may not want – and feminists are now calling on men to help uphold the status quo

Feminists are demanding that male pro-life legislators butt out because they have no ovaries while demanding that male pro-abort legislators intervene – on what grounds?

Feminists decry male pro-life activists outside abortion mills but ignore that most abortionists inside the mills are men...

Pro-lifer G.N. commented on my blog:
    Pro-choice men have been effectively neutered by the feminists. Now that they've created an army of lap dogs, they decide that they really want attack dogs.

    It's easier being a pro-life male. We get to be and act like men ought. And we get great women who aren't at war with their own nature, which means they aren't at war with the men who complement that nature and whose nature is complemented by women's.

One other reason pro-abort men may have trouble taking initiative. It must feel pretty slimy to grandstand killing one's own progeny.

Questions to ask about Hospice PDF Print E-mail

In Alabama, there are at least 140 hospice groups. With this many, when you consider all hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical facilities, it must be difficult to find enough well-qualified medical personnel.
 
It is also extremely difficult for the state health department to inspect this many hospice groups.
 
Another concern is that, because of the nature of hospices, that they become a "get rich quick" business, with an eye to the income rather than quality health care for the patient.
 
The average daily hospice rate is $107.00. Only 30 patients could gross over $1 million per year.

Since no meals or housing are provided by hospices, there are few expenditures.
 
Check the link at ADPH --
http://www.adph.org/providers/Default.asp?id=522 -- or in your own state for information about hospice groups
 
Consider the social services offered by the hospice.
 
Check with your state health department to determine if any adverse actions have been taken against a hospice group.
 
Find out in how many counties in your state is the hospice located, and if they are adequately staffed to provide the care needed in every county.
 

Determine how experienced their doctors are in caring for terminally ill patients. Palliative care is quite different for the terminally ill as compared to care for others.
 
Ask for a list of references and contact them.
