A recent article in Ms. magazine describes pregnancy as more like a disease than a natural part of a woman’s life.

The headline states: “Pregnancy and Childbirth Endanger Women’s Lives and Health: ‘Pregnancy Is Not a Benign Condition.’”

Reading the piece, the message becomes clear—the abortion industry will say whatever it has to say to convince women that abortion is a necessary. It will use fearmongering and scare tactics to persuade society of the need for abortion on demand.

The article in Ms. magazine dehumanizes pregnancy by labeling it a “health risk.” And to be clear, women should be made aware of the health risks associated with pregnancy, and what they can do to protect themselves and their unborn babies.

Women likewise should know all the information about the risks that abortion poses. We can and should protect both the life of the mother and that of her unborn child, because both lives are sacred.

The abortion industry will continue to pedal its product to women in crisis, at the same time growing its bottom line.



Here's an excerpt from the applicable article:


“Pregnancy is not a benign condition,” said Dr. Warren M. Hern, director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic. “Women die from pregnancy.”

In 2019, 754 women died from pregnancy-related causes in the U.S. Another 50,000 to 60,000 women each year suffer severe harm to their health due to pregnancy, labor and childbirth.

“They die from hemorrhage, infection, pre-eclampsia (which can lead to fatal seizures), obstructed labor, amniotic fluid embolism, thromboembolism, a ruptured uterus, retained placenta, hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma,” Hern explained, “and many other causes that fill the obstetrics textbooks.”

The United States has the worst rate of maternal deaths in the developed world and has been increasing in recent years. The maternal mortality rate for 2019 (20.1 deaths per 100,000 live births) was significantly higher than the rate for 2018 (17.4), and almost twice the rate of the U.K. (9.2).

“Pregnancy itself poses a ‘serious health risk,’” said Hern. “A woman’s life and health are at risk from the moment that a pregnancy exists in her body, whether she wants to be pregnant or not.”
.
.
Even if uncomplicated, pregnancy takes a tremendous toll on the human body. Pregnancy can cause nausea, fatigue, tender and swollen breasts, constipation, body aches, dizziness, sleep problems, heartburn and indigestion, hemorrhoids, itching, leg cramps, numb or tingling hands, swelling, urinary frequency or leaking, varicose veins, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Pregnancy takes over the entire body, affecting your cardiovascular system, kidneys, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, skin, hormones, liver and metabolism. It increases blood volume by about 50 percent and depletes calcium out of the pregnant woman’s bones.



Here's a thought: if it's so dangerous then why aren't you telling young women to use safe sex or keep their legs together. Why doesn't PP and the democratic party push a bill through Congress to provide free contraceptives? Answer: because it's a political weapon to use against the GOP and a means of keeping single women voting for the democrats. Not to mention the cash cow for the democrats and PP.

Actually, having dealt with several pregnant young women that have REFUSED to seek medical care any information is good information. I just spent 5 hours this last weekend trying to get some one to get checked out. It is dangerous. It doesn't have anything to do with abortion. Or politics.

??? What do you mean, it doesn't have anything to do with abortion? I doubt that many if any of those pregnant young women have any intention of carrying their babies to term when they know they can get an abortion and the problem goes away like it was a wart on your butt. When an abortion is an easy way out of a pregnancy, where's the deterrent to having unprotected sex? I do not understand why we don't have a greater emphasis on contraception to prevent an unwanted pregnancy over an abortion after the fact.

Oh, but they do carry them to term.

Sometimes they use drugs right up until they go into labor. Sometimes they think that baby daddy can provide the middle class life they see on TV from prison. Sometimes they forget how far along they even are because they don't have prenatal care.
I don't know where the hell you think money for all these abortions comes from.
 
Oh, but they do carry them to term.

Some do, some don't. There's a heckuva lot of abortions in this country every year. Especially when they can get childcare credit and ADP money from the gov't, plus food stamps and all that.

A lot of it comes from donations and from the taxpayers.
 
More proof that the cult of woke and radical American leftism seeks the suicide of the human race. There's a damn good reason our distant ancestors used clubs to court their wives and never let them out of their caves.

I'm not seeing that.

Yanno,

If every time you walk out the door you are sifting through people and categorizing them, you're done.

Okay. Dunno what that means, but okay.

The article mentioned in the OP is intended to scare young women into getting an abortion over keeping their baby. No mention of using contraceptives to prevent a pregnancy in the 1st place, and no mention of abstinence. Instead, this is a blatant exercise to promote abortion for money and politics.

It's intended to show the risks of carrying the baby to term. It's a bad attempt to demonstrate " solidarity" and to show....fuck all to large groups of people that aren't going to care.

It's not a sex Ed class. I'm not sure why you expect some type of abstinence/contraception information to be included.

At this point, any information is good information. One would hope this information would lead women to seek prenatal care. Unfortunately, it's not going to make it to the right people.

I'm still not sure where all the money is going to come from for all the abortions.
 
It's intended to show the risks of carrying the baby to term.

IMHO, it's intended to influence young women to get an abortion.


I'm not sure why you expect some type of abstinence/contraception information to be included.

If you're going to write an article about the dangers of childbirth then does it not make sense to discuss the possibilities of abstinence and contraception? That absence makes the article look more like a scare tactic to get an abortion.

OK. The article does not say that though, which is another strike against it IMHO.

The same place it does now, from donations and the gov't. Which is a backdoor way of telling people to vote for the democrats cuz they'll give more money to PP for abortions.

It doesn't say: Don't smoke meth while pregnant either.

Although, I will state ANY time there is anything saying that one will legally be unable to obtain an abortion it is a ugly for the Democrats. Exactly the same way it works for losing gun rights for Republicans.
 
Have you been pregnant?

Can a doctor be medically qualified to treat a pregnant patient if he or she has never been pregnant themselves?

Can a psychiatrist treat a patient if they themselves have never been diagnosed with the same mental condition?

There are these things called medical books, they are full of medical information. If you read and comprehend these medical books to the satisfaction of a university, some will say you are actually qualified to treat conditions that you yourself have never had.

How crazy is that?!

Read the Hyde Amendment.

He's not a doctor either.
 
So can I and I have three children.

Then you're probably aware of the many significant complications connected with pregnancy.

Of course, there are potential medical complications from abortion procedures as well.
