In keeping with their recent “excellence in media” award from Planned Parenthood, the September issue of Cosmopolitan offers its young female audience a “Hot and Healthy Investigation” into how Texas Republicans have ruined the glorious opportunity to abort in the Lone Star State. Writer Amanda Robb hit every pro-abortion propaganda note about “clinics under attack” and pro-lifers compromising “the quality of care for women.” Or, to quote the story’s abortionist hero: “sometimes, bull[bleep] wins.”
The hero in Robb’s story was Dr. Lester Minto of Harlingen, Texas, who was getting around the new state law signed by Gov. Rick Perry requiring abortionists have hospital admitting privileges by hinting to patients that they go buy misoprostol pills in Mexico to begin a miscarriage, so he can finish off the “miscarriage management.” Robb compared him to the Wizard of Oz with one scared 17-year-old aborting Dorothy:
Dr. Minto sat down with the teenager. He took her hands. He looked like the Wizard coming out from behind the curtain, when he wisely but humbly tells Dorothy and her friends that anyone can have a brain, a heart, and courage. “I can only help you if you’ve tried something [to miscarry].”
The teenager’s name (at least for the story) was Vale, and this was her second abortion in four months. This time, she accepted the doctor’s recommendation of birth control. Robb also included the required lecture from NARAL:
“Do-it-yourself health care almost never ends well, whether it’s unregulated pills bought on the Internet or back-alley procedures that were the staple of our grandmothers’ youth,” says Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “Research is conclusive all over the world: making abortion illegal or inaccessible doesn’t make the procedure less common. It only makes it far less safe and results in many more deaths.”
Robb also insisted “Fewer than 0.05 percent of U.S. abortion patients ever need to be hospitalized. If a woman finds herself in that rare situation, the professional groups all say that she should do the obvious thing: Go to an emergency room to be treated by someone trained in emergency medicine.” There is no space in Cosmo for young women dying when abortionists seemingly can’t be bothered.
Dr. Minto’s “miscarriage management” operation — now discontinued — hardly sounds ideal, but that is Robb’s point, that pro-lifers are making “women’s health care” more expensive, painful, and risky. A poor woman named Gabriela finished her abortion without much pain relief except for nitrous oxide (laughing gas). When she emerged from the procedure, “Gabriela’s expression was murderous.” Robb (and Cosmo) didn’t see any irony in the word choice.

What she fails to recognize is that abortion results in a death EVERY 24 SECONDS. Ending it means less death, period.

miscarriage management? These people will give deceptive names to anything and everything…...
Add this one to the Newspeak Dictionary.
She knows exactly how many lives they are snuffing out.
So does this mean executions are court-ordered retroactive abortions?
Just wait until a woman is permanently injured by following some doctor’s advice to get drugs in a foreign country and use them-one good lawsuit should-hopefully-finish this trend...
…that dadburn dictionary is too damned big as it is…...
Cosmo is a lifestyle magazine for the aspiring prostitute.
Haven’t read or bought Cosmo like mags in decades. They ignore Conservative women and their advice is feminazi agitprop.
Aptly named: Dr. (De)Minto
“miscarriage management”
Just another euphemism for murdering babies.
Evil.
No other word for the baby killers.
Remember, folks, if you’re in the grocery store line and see an issue of Cosmo, be sure that you thumb through it vigorously.
Be careful, though; those pages rip pretty easily. Not many people want to buy ripped up magazines.
Cosmo is horrible. If you’re thinking of going out with a woman who reads it, dump her.
Still perpetuating the lies of the 60’s and 70’s I see.
My heart goes out to those who suffered a miscarriage and are mourning the loss of a loved one.
