"To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven," so goes a verse of Scripture in Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament. And also unto everything there is a reason or a method of reasoning.
What I will divulge may shock some conservative thinkers but in my opinion, to accept the abortion holocaust one second longer would be more repugnant even still.
While I was still in nursing school in 1998, I postulated a theory I kept quietly to myself. The other night this idea popped back up and with the advent of time, technology and the Internet, I decided to investigate if my wild idea was possible. To my relief and amazement, I found my theory had been proven true and was in practice. The theory shows abortion is no longer needed or acceptable. Modern medicine and science now CAN avert this tragic "option."
Follow me down the scientific highway into where impossible meets possible. From this day forward, erase "unwanted pregnancy" and such semantics from your vocabulary because I'm here to tell you they no longer exist.
Since the dawn of man and woman there lurked the question, "Am I pregnant?." Many a woman found herself asking the question and the answer was YES. We all know the woman looked high and low for the answer and the solution, if yes, was not the answer she wanted to hear.
Fast forward 1973. The solution we were told finally was Roe vs. Wade. What the premature leftest ideologues haven't told you lately is they were and are wrong.
Skip to 2006 and think post birth control, move beyond the coat hanger and all that stale rhetoric we've all heard ad nauseum. Start thinking revolutionary thoughts like fetology, advanced physiology, 3 & 4D Ultrasound and ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies).
What is ART? What isn't it? What ART is, basically all the reproductive technologies such as ICSI (cytoplasmic sperm injection, circa early 1990's) IVF (in vitro fertilization, circa 1977) and GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer, circa late 1990's). Also under this umbrella falls donor eggs and this is where my wild theory comes in, Donor Embryos or ET (Embryonic Transfer).
Yes, you read it right. Not the flying Spielberg ET kind, we're talking the terrestrial human embryo from one woman to another.
Hear me out. And yes, I am a Christian Conservative Southern Baptist Woman to clear your confusion.
After my abortion in 1998, (the biggest mistake of my life!) I was in nursing school at the time. I had been the type before I had an abortion that I felt it was wrong and I considered myself pro-life I thought, "I'd never do that, but if Suzy Q down the street does it, I won't judge her." Post abortively, that changed. I began to study what I had done and researched abortion obsessively. I thought, we live in a time of medical miracles and we can't solve the ancient dilemma of "Am I pregnant?" I thought this can't be.
As of 3/16/06, I found out my "wild theory" is true and in practice today. Women don't have to abort any longer! It is a choice now, but it's a choice that doesn't have to be made any longer because due to advances in medicine since 1973, we can now prove abortion is an old, outdated medical procedure that needs to be chucked into the trash can where it belongs.
Please research this and see for yourself! If I can theorize and find viable proof abortion is avoidable and now 100% preventable, then of course Planned Parenthood knows this as well, right? Why aren't they converting every abortion clinic into PTC's (Pregnancy Transfer Centers) and thus, truly living out their much whined about philosophy? Why aren't they using their resources for the betterment of mankind by training abortionists who are already qualified practitioners to practice ET instead of the killing they do. Why not take what is evil, and change it for good use. Why don't the so-called pro-choicers really offer a living viable option that doesn't cause an unnecessary death but instead gives choice to other women that seek children?
It makes sense to me. I'll tell you why, bear with me. Like I said, I know this is difficult for hardliner types to swallow but I know what it's like to be a desperate woman too. I had two teen pregnancies, one abortion and one extremely high risk pregnancy at 30 years old. I've been on all sides of this issue back & forth, day after day, night after night, month after month. I've also been poor struggling to get through college, and I have also lived through the nightmare of laying on the abortionists table and trying to live with that 24/7 for 3 years.
Before you say I've gone off the deep end, think all of this through. Better an embryo to adopt a womb than a tomb, right?
Planned Parenthood sells women the notion they have to "plan" their parenthood. OK, when the birth control they sell women fails, then the opt for Plan B or sell the woman an abortion. No other options are presented, don't kid yourselves. Oh, but wait. What I'll tell you (they won't) with that lovely abortion you'll get one of the following or more unpleasant (avoidable) side effects: severe pain, post traumatic stress and post abortion syndrome, severe depression, weight gain, "cutting," increased risk of drug and alcohol abuse and a 9% increased risk of suicide (above women who are non abortive), increased risk of breast cancer later in life, disturbed sleep resulting in development of possible further health problems, possible endometriosis, premature birth and incompetent cervix in subsequent pregnancies with higher morbidity & mortality rates than non abortive women. Immediate risks include infection, hemorrhage, uterine puncture and laceration, intestinal puncture and laceration with possible colostomy and hemorrhage, sepsis, bacteremia, toxic shock syndrome, possible blood transfusion and yes finally even death.
Women are willing to risk all that for a supposedly legal and "safe" abortion? Doesn't sound too safe to me. And no, this is not included on the informed consent or patient rights forms a woman sees and signs before the abortion. This is why I testified for a 24 hour wait in MO known as HB 156 that is now in effect which includes Doctors must do a face to face meeting with a woman before the procedure to inform her of her risks. Oh, you didn't know abortionists routinely never meet the patient until she is up in the stirrups ready to be aborted? Yeah, that's true and most of the time they don't even know the patients name, age, birth date and medical history before they perform this invasive procedure on their patients. I don't call that safe either.
Still believe this "choice" lie? If it's a choice why do they choose to not tell women these risks? Remember the Allen Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, releases most of the above statistics as well as pro-life organizations so no matter which side of the fence you're on, the data all shows the same thing, abortion is murder on woman & child. They know knowledge is power and they keep certain things from indigent women so they don't know every option like adoption. They also know with true informed consent, women that see the ultrasound of their babies before the procedure don't abort. That of course hurts the bottom line and their bank accounts, and they can't have anybody messing around with that, women's health or not! When a woman learns the truth, she doesn't abort, plain and simple. Then the abortion industry loses money and eventually dries up so it's just better to keep their clients in the dark, literally.
For 33 years the abortion industry has continued to perpetuate the "lie" to women to separate them from their pocketbooks. Why don't truly liberated women wake up and smell the coffee? I have been "educated" as much as these women on the left side of the isle, and I can read between the lines. If they care about women, why aren't they teaching abstinence and teen pregnancy prevention? No, simply America Planned Parenthood's answer as it has been for 33 long, hard, bloody years is not primary prevention and medicine, but tertiary treatment and the "band-aid" method of trying to pick up the pieces of a woman's life. The band-aid stops the bleeding but doesn't heal the scar let me tell you. I found that out the hard way.
Women get desperate but they don't have to resort to the desperate act of killing. If women are so smart, why aren't they educating themselves fully about their bodies and how to avoid pregnancy naturally if that's what they choose to do? If a pregnancy occurs, there is ET as I have illustrated.
Believe me, I am not one for surrogacy organ transplantation and the like, but if we're talking abortion, I'd rather see ET performed than a pre-meditated medical murder. If the medical community insists on playing God, then at least do it responsibly.
Transferring an already burgeoning life is far more humane than killing it. This is 2006 — we aren't neanderthals anymore, right?
In summary, I am happy to share this innovative technology with you. Further research needs to be done, but we may have hit pay dirt here. If we can essentially end abortion through medical means instead of using abortion to end pregnancy, then why aren't we doing it? Think about it. There are many infertile couples waiting in line for a child. If these abortive mothers don't want their embryos, there are 10 couples waiting in the wings to adopt the embryo instead of killing it.
Think of this as the next step in pioneering the modernization & progression of adoption. This also adds scientific and empirical data needed in the political arena to ban abortion as well.
And I'm going to spread the word to my Representatives and Senators how supporting the abortion bans make sense when technology like ET is available and ready to use to eliminate abortion.
For me and many other Americans, the time for abortion to be banned has come and it's not as far out as you think. No more excuses and no more Roe vs. Wade, end of story. The only thing left to do is for conservatives to euthanize Roe vs. Wade, euphemistically speaking, instead of in practice on mankind like we saw what happened to Terri Schiavo.
The abortion solution is in our hands, We just have to implement it next into our minds.
Bump!
Very interesting article. I applaud her for her honesty.
Please Freepmailme if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
What on earth is this woman talking about? How could you possibly peel a placenta off one woman's uterus, and stick it into another not pregnant, not enlarged, not supplied with blood vessels uterus, and have the placenta instantly attach, no lag in circulation to kill the baby?
Not to mention finding enough women who would take on another, possibly diseased, woman's pregnancy.
Mrs VS
Wow.
I'm with you...this strikes me as crazy ranting, although I hope I'm wrong.
Wow is right. At least she comes out and perhaps sarcastically points to the future. Didn't say I agree with her, but I do appreciate some measure of honesty in the coming future of social engineering.
There's her answer. Maybe some scientist is heading down that path, who knows?
I am a pro-life Ob/Gyn now 15 years board certified and I can tell you categorically that this is hooey (a common medical term in Texas).
A different approach has been taken by Yoshinori Kuwabara at Juntendo University in Tokyo. His team has removed foetuses from goats and placed them in clear plastic tanks filled with amniotic fluid stabilised at body temperature. In this way, Kuwabara has kept goat foetuses alive and growing for up to 10 days by connecting their umbilical cords to machines that pump in nutrients and dispose of waste.
Kuwabara's [work] is designed to help women who suffer miscarriages or very premature births... Kuwabara is trying to give a foetus a safe home if expelled too early from its natural womb.
Crucially, both believe artificial wombs capable of sustaining a child for nine months will become reality in a few years.
Soon women won't have to kill their child to get rid of it.
This chick needs to do a little research if she really is a nurse. ET does NOT refer to embryos beyond the pre-implantation point.
Embryo Transfer
Timing
Embryos are generally transferred back to the woman's uterus at the 2 - 8 cell stage, which occurs 48 - 72 hours after the retrieval.
The Procedure
When she arrives for the embryo transfer, the patient (and her partner) will return to the Procedure Room. The patient is required to have a mildly full bladder so that her uterus can be visualized by abdominal sonogram during the procedure. She will undress, don an examining smock, assume the usual examining position, and be placed under abdominal sonographic guidance. The physician will then insert a speculum into the vagina and clean the cervix. The patient may feel one cramp as an outer catheter is placed through the cervix into the lower segment of the uterus. A fine plastic catheter, into which the Embryologist has transferred the embryos, is then placed through the outer transfer catheter and advanced near the top of the uterus. The sonographer will visualize the lining of the uterus and guide the physician in the placement of the catheter. Once the placement is correct, the embryos will be expelled from the catheter and inserted into the uterus.
The Rest Period
After the transfer, the patient will be wheeled to the recovery area where she will rest on her back for two hours. Her husband is welcome to remain with her for the entire rest period. The recovery room is equipped with a television and VCR; couples may either bring their own tapes or watch those provided by A.F.S.
Post-Transfer Medications
The patient may receive an injection of HCG after the embryo transfer to help the ovaries produce more progesterone during the embryonic implantation phase. In some cases, she will also be instructed to self-administer two additional HCG injections on specific days following the transfer. She may also be asked to use progesterone suppositories for a specified number of days following the transfer.
Post Transfer Instructions
The patient will be advised to be restful during the first 24 hours after the embryo transfer and to engage in only limited activity during the second 24 hours. She may then carry out her normal level of exercise and activity. It should be noted that physical activity or diet has no impact upon embryo implantation or conception. Once the embryos are transferred, there is really nothing a patient can do to influence the outcome of her cycle. Conception is a natural phenomenon which depends mostly upon the genetic quality of the eggs. Almost without exception "nature" will only allow genetically perfect embryos to survive in order to maximize the chances of the birth of a normal baby.
The outcome of any particular IVF cycle is determined by the quality of the embryos and the post-transfer hormonal support. Good embryos cannot be lost as a result of moving about, and there is no scientific evidence to suggest that any particular activity will cause a woman to lose a pregnancy during the implantation stage. Therefore, we believe that, after the initial 48-hour post-transfer period, the patient should go about her regular daily activities without worrying that she will harm her chances for a successful pregnancy.
During the two weeks after the embryo transfer while a couple is anxiously awaiting the outcome of their IVF cycle, the time will pass more slowly and stressfully if a woman confines herself to bed. Stress can actually be reduced by staying active and being productive. Moderate exercise may also be a useful aid in reducing stress during the two week post-transfer period.
"I am a pro-life Ob/Gyn now 15 years board certified and I can tell you categorically that this is hooey (a common medical term in Texas)."
Ahh yes...I am acquainted with the term.
When I got a dizzy feeling reading the article I suspected that was exactly the case.
You're talking about super-intensive care - heart-lung machine, blood-filtering to take the place of maternal liver and kidneys, very careful hormonal balance - for at least six months. You think any nation is going to pay the cost of this for a million babies a year?
The artificial womb is being developed to nourish clones - organ farming.
Mrs VS
But they will anyway, mark my words.
I have friends who did the same. They just weren't "quite right" afterwards. The reality they don't want you to see...
What does hooey mean.I am afraid to ask.
