“Women’s magazines” are full this kind of message. I don’t read them, because the articles are either a silly waste of time or meant to lead women astray.

Imho, they have an influence, especially on young women, who don't realize they are being brainwashed.

In a strange way, if you occasionally scan these voguish women’s magazines, fashion=death.

How many smiling, happy faces do you see in Vogue advertisements? They all look skinny, rich, bored, angry, scowling, and drugged out. And that’s the fashionable look.

In People magazine you can see that the fashion among Hollywood stars is to adopt African babies, or even to have a baby that you can leave home with a nanny while you go out and party. But in Vogue you can see that the real fashion for the rich establishment types is to abort these little inconveniences.

She claims that she already felt she had “failed” as a mother because her body was not able to carry the baby to term. No one on the right is claiming that so it must be feminists on the left who put that notion in her head.

In partial birth abortion the child is extracted from the mother's womb, until only the head remains in the birth canal; he is then killed by suctioning out the brains and collapsing the skull.

Has anyone ever come up with an example of this being medically necessary as opposed to the quicker procudure of the doctor giving one last tug and having a live birth?

Doctors know the law of averages..They don’t know the law of faith or the law of life.

20 week old fetus

"I chose what I believe was the path of least suffering, for myself...

No matter how much flowery prose are packed in this article, the unvarnished truth is contained in this little nugget simply gushed out for all the world to see. The facts in this case are that the doctors told her that the baby would not survive, so rather than letting life take its due course, this woman, and her husband, chose to preemptively kill their baby for the sake of expediency.

There is also an internal processing charge for each litter card they receive which must be many times the cost of postage, but I do like the brick idea. Cinder?

But I had failed her. My incompetence, I felt, extended well beyond the cervix into every fiber of my being.

Yes, she took the greatest gift God could give her and murdered it. Her explanation of murdering her child to save it from "needless suffering" is beyond incompetence. When people are outraged over dog killings by a football player and don't even bat an eyelash to something like this, we are as a country morally insane.

The purpose of this procedure is precisely to end life before it exits the birth canal at which time it would be considered murder, at least for now. As society plummets down the slippery slope, there are already citizens calling for post birth abortion.

She was afraid she might give birth to a less than perfect baby, so she killed her baby.

Typical Hollywood it's all about me POS.

I found that statement absolutely appalling as well.

15 years ago my wife and I went through some tough times the pregnancy of our 3rd child. She was not growing within the womb, and we met with specialists. One specialist recommended an abortion because she felt that the baby, if she/he survived the birth, would be a multiple handicapped child.

We chose to go through with the pregnancy, and deal with whatever came along. Our 15 year old daughter Kathryn is thriving, and enjoying life every moment of the day.

A friend of mine has a 35 year-old son--her water broke very early and she spent months flat on her back in the hospital--she couldn't even get up to go to the bathroom.

Maybe the real reason the Vogue woman had the abortion was she wanted to avoid the inconvenience of being on her back all that time.

What has typically been done in these cases is to "hospice" the babies. They are kept warm and comfortable until they die. In other words, treated like human beings.

I've seen it happen and not had the impression that the baby was suffering at all.
