Second child on the way for Brooke Shields

Los Angeles, California (AHN) - Brooke Shields, who has currently been criticized by fellow Hollywood actor Tom Cruise for using anti-depressants after her first birth, is pregnant again. She is expecting a child with a screenwriter husband Chris Henchy.

The news follows the announcement from three weeks ago that Katie Holmes is also expecting a child with Scientologist Tom Cruise. Cruise has recently been on a media debate over postpartum depression therapies.

In an interview, the actor expressed his dismay towards Shields for using drugs to remedy the depression she felt after giving birth to her first child. With the help of Scientology, Cruise recommends a healthy diet and exercise to fend off the baby blues.

Shields lashed out back at Cruise, stating that he has no first-hand knowledge of what it feels like to suffer from postpartum depression.

Shields, 40, wed Henchly in 2001, and their daughter Rowan, was born in 2003. The actress is currently wrapping up her Broadway run of Chicago this week.

Brooke Shields Follows Celine Dion With Second Baby

By Terry Venderhaven

HOLLYWOOD, October 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Movie star Brooke Shields is pregnant with her second child. She already has a daughter with her husband, TV writer Chris Henchy, conceived by in-vitro fertilization. Presumably this second child is also an IVF baby, although news sources did not reveal this information.

Shields wrote about her experience of severe depression following the birth of Rowan Francis in 2003 in her book Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression. Australian researchers revealed in August that women who conceive through IVF are four times more likely to suffer from post-partum depression and early parenting difficulties as compared to women who conceive naturally.

IVF creates children outside of the loving union of a man and a woman.  Furthermore, the lives of the embryonic children conceived by the IVF procedure are under severe threat since the latest statistics have revealed that over 85% of embryos transferred in the procedure die in the process.  With over a million children having been born via IVF, that would amount to nearly six million embryonic children killed with the procedure.

I wonder how many of her children were flushed down the toilet or are now frozen in an embryo Gulag?

This is where scientists get the embryonic stem cells, from throw-away children at IVF clinics. The snowflake adoption program is saving some of them from impending mutilation and death.

Frozen? Why would she undergo another IVF if she still had frozen embryos left over? And why would she flush her embryos down the toilet if she obviously wanted to be pregnant? This current pregnancy could be the result of frozen embryos. I can understand being against IVF, but I don't understand why you are always specifically picking on Brooke Shields. There are plenty of other celebrities who have undergone IVF....

IVF baby factories and Embryonic stem cell research is NO laughing matter.

At the present time there are over 400,000 human embryos on ice in America. Many more flushed down the toilet when those embryos are implanted 3 or 4 at a time in the woman who pass the unused/unimplantable embryos when they menstruate.

It's the uninformed who give conservatives a bad name.

About 80% of all naturally conceived zygotes also fail to implant.
