Quotes to Note

This weekend [28-29 Apr 2012] the media is rife with the 'War on Women' -- politically partisan programming, abetted by the secular media, to show how American women are 'under attack' because some 'nuts' are trying to take abortion away from them...

Seriously?

Haven't they seen the vile and disgusting photos of Gosnell's abortion filth in Philadelphia?

Or the equally disgusting Brigham Pennsylvania dumps that are so repulsive they are finally being closed down?

Have they not heard about the THREE women who ended up in the hospital in Alabama on 21 January 2012 -- one in ICU for excessive bleeding -- and the 76-page deficiency report that resulted from the state health department?

Or that about two-thirds of women feel pressured -- coerced -- into having abortions? [Excuse me, but I thought that abortion was a sign of women's freedom... did I miss something?]

So, as a woman, I wonder why these women are promoting this curious 'War on Women'...

Please help me here... can you please answer my questions?

Why, exactly, is abortion the absolute, central core of the women's rights movement?

How, exactly, does abortion provide the only major and meaningful means to attain women's rights?

What, exactly, does abortion do that is so absolutely necessary to attain women's rights?

What, exactly, are these women's rights?

Why, exactly, is it absolutely necessary to destroy one unseen, unborn life in order to provide unseen rights for a life already born?

Why, exactly, could that unseen, unborn life not be allowed to come to birth and be provided with an adoption plan, to bring great joy to one of about 2 million couples ready & waiting to adopt?

Why, exactly, is abortion absolutely necessary to make women just like men?

Why, exactly, do women want to be 'men with breasts & uteruses' that are never allowed to function?

Why, exactly, are some women working so hard to eliminate the female sex -- aren't they their own worst enemy in this 'War on Women'?

According to the March of Dimes, "In 2001, more than 476,000 babies, or nearly 12 percent of live births, were born too soon – before 37 completed weeks – in the U.S.

“The annual rate of babies born prematurely has risen 27 percent since 1981... In 2000, hospital charges for 23,000 prematurity-related infant stays totaled $1.2 Billion. The average charge was $58,000 per baby, compared to $4,300 for a typical [term] newborn stay."1
[¹ Derived from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 2000, a component of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. The diagnosis code includes short gestation and low birthweight]

Treatment of these children through employer health plans has been estimated at $4.7 Billion per year.

One fifth of these costs may be attributable to extra cases of prematurity arising from abortion-related morbidity.

premature birth is the leading cause of newnatal death and is related to increased risk of cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, retardation, and other life-long health problems.
