2nd-trimester abortion help(Researchers Kill 110 Babies to Determine Which 'Device' Works)

A low-tech, hand-held vacuum aspiration device works as well as a more expensive electrical unit for ending second-trimester pregnancies, say researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. They compared the two devices while performing second-trimester abortions on 110 women with an average gestation of 16 weeks. Manual vacuum aspiration was used on 73 women and electric vacuum aspiration on 37 women.

No difference in procedure time The study found no significant differences in procedure time between the two groups of women. There were no reported complications.

Manual vacuum aspiration is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for first-trimester abortions, but had not been tested for second-trimester abortions.

Good news for developing nations Now that we know the low-tech device is safe and effective, it can be taught to doctors in developing nations to help reduce the prevalence of unsafe abortions and complications, senior author Dr Paul Blumenthal, associate professor of gynaecology and obstetrics, says in a news release.

The electrical aspiration devices and the power required to operate them are often not available in developing countries. - (HealthDayNews)

Dear God, that is sickening.

Why don't they just go to Walmarts and by vacumm cleaners. I'm sure that would be cheaper and just as fast.

Unbelievably sick. Johns Hopkins admits that it is an experimental torture/death chamber for unborn babies.

Well isn't that nice. I'm so happy that irresponsible parents in third world countries can rest easy knowing that, although they are baby killers, they are just as efficient at baby killing as the rest of us.

You might need them. There are a few pro-choicers trolling about on FR.

Gee whizz...must have taken some real "Brain surgeon" types to figure this stuff out...

In another study to determine whether a 9mm or a 40S&W bullet fired into the human skull would kill the human has concluded that both are equally capable of achieving the desired outcome...

I have said it before and I will say it again...If you do not want a child tell him to keep it in his pants and keep your knees held firmly together...

Well, this ought to make the sustainable development folks happy. I've read where they want to get the world population down to 1 Billion people from the 6 Billion it currently is.

Yeah, just like Laura Bush and Condi Rice are "trolling about" the White House.

Someone dumped another pregnant cat off at our farm last week during the night. I took it to the vets to have it fixed and abort the kittens which feel to be about four weeks gestation.

The vet refuses to perform such procedures on cats. It's cruel and against his ethical beleifs.

I told him that the mother's life was in danger if he did not spay her. He asked, "How's that?" I told him that there was a .22 pistol putting her life in danger and that was certainly a lot cheaper. I asked him how he felt about that ethically?

He spayed the cat and she has a nice home now.

Strange that in order to find an ethical reaction toward abortion you have to go see a veterinarian with a cat..................

There's really no way to do that without killing a whole lot of people, which seems to be their plan.

Next, on the Adolf and Josef show...

Remember Arnold is for 2nd trimester abortions.

"I support a woman’s right to choose. I support the state’s current family planning programs, and as governor, would make no changes to this policy."

I do not support partial birth abortion. I am in favor of parental notification, but I believe there must be a mechanism available where an individual can seek counsel from an outside entity, perhaps the courts.
