Maybe this is why God is allowing us to reap the harvest we are sowing. James Dobson said one year, that the number of babies being sought by infertile couples was the same number as those being aborted [by a mother who didn’t want them-my comment].
So what about the mother of the children that were mistakenly implanted?
All in a day’s work in a culture of death.
“Woman Kills Wrongly-Implanted Embryos with Morning-After Pill”
Should read: “Woman Kills Living Human Beings with Morning-After Pill”
yes and what a handle....RU-486....as if a question mark belongs after the name.
despicable.
This going sound cold
Least she cut out the Middleman
Statistically, it is extremely improbable that the morning-after pill (which is a very high dose of hormonal birth control) could be abortive. The chance is not zero, but it is possible that it could be taken in such a way that it fails at preventing ovulation (depending on where the woman is) or preventing fertilization (the other most common effect) but somehow works to prevent the fertilized egg from implanting. This is technically possible, though only if taken very late relative to sex (near or past the end of the 72-hour window).
The morning-after pill has NEVER been stated to act on an implanted embryo, which is what this story claims. If this is true, this would be a scandal of massive proportions. The way this story is written makes the events impossible by known science. It’s most likely misreported and the truth is probably the woman took not the morning-after pill but an actual abortifacient like RU-486.
See. I hope this “healthcare” is affordable.
“University of Connecticut Health Center has agreed to pay a $ 3,000 fine over the incident”
pay a fine — that’s it — now move on, nothing to see here.
btw who gets fine monies, not the patient, the govt !!
What a sad story...once again the innocent are expendable
It doesn't. This woman wasn't pregnant, any more than the test tube the embyro had just come from was "pregnant". She just had an unimplanted embryo floating around loose inside her.
LifeSite is, as usual, distorting facts in the interest of maximum sensationalism. They use the term "implanted" repeatedly in the article, even though they surely know (unless they're just totally clueless about all of this stuff) that the embryo had only been *transferred*. Transfer comes first, and then the hope (in normal cases) is that implantation will subsequently occur (in a few days), but often it doesn't. Same as with natural conceptions -- a fertilized egg floating down the fallopian tube into the uterus may implant at which point the woman becomes pregnant; but very often it does not implant, and the woman never becomes pregnant.
*Nothing* causes abortion in a woman who isn't pregnant.
Wonder if she will be charged with murder since, technically, it was not HER right to choose.
One thing that we have to unfortunately keep in mind is that they have defined pregnancy to begin at implantation, so technically, they can say that the morning after pill and some forms of birth control do not cause abortions because implantation occurs 2 weeks after onception. The life a person starts at conception, so these pills (the morning after especially) do end human lives.
Just some medical clarification for those who are making wrong assumptions, INCLUDING the author of this article:
A doctor TRANSFERS the embryos into the woman’s uterus. He does not, nor can he, IMPLANT the embryos into the uterus.
Embryos in a uterus might be no good. Their chromosomes are often (roughly 50% of the time) not compatible with growth to the 13th week of pregnancy. Very often, they are not even able to implant for that reason or another, like poor uterine lining or other defects in the uterus. Most embryos finding themselves in a uterus do NOT become babies.
Implantation, or, rather, the hormones the embryo gives off thereafter is the first sign of pregnancy. While the woman being told she had the wrong embryos in her, was pregnant until proven otherwise, no test on earth in those 24 hours could have determined pregnancy in her. Technically, she really wasn’t yet.
The thing with the morning after pill is that no one will ever be able to know whether it caused an abortion or not. It is preventing the living embryo from implantation. I do not believe in such a thing, but I think people need to know the real scoop medically.
Implantation is one of the hardest tasks of an embryo. MOST DO NOT MAKE IT, even when naturally conceived.
Shameful. I guess “any” baby wouldn’t do.
What a tangled web we weave, when we try to artificially conceive.
