Evil now saunters across this planet, as if slaughtering alive unborn HUMANS is just fine if it leads to ‘research’.
Theoretically, that is true. Someone who was not otherwise planning to have an abortion could hear about this study, and could then decide to have an abortion in order to participate in the study. But that is highly, highly unlikely. The clear intent of this study is to include people who are already seeking an abortion. It's a study run by a hospital, so they don't need to go out and "recruit" people to have abortions - they will simply ask women who come in for an abortion if they want to participate in the study.
I don't doubt your experience regarding 'criteria'. I'm saying that the document in question doesn't say that all criteria must be met.
The point is, these documents never (or almost never) say that all inclusion criteria must be met, because the people who run clinical studies understand that the list of "inclusion criteria" is the list of criteria that must be met. Click around on the clinical trials site you linked, look at other studies - they all look like this.
Finally, 'fetal anomaly' is so broad as to be the equivalent of Mitt Romney's 'health of mother'.
Well, yes. That's true, and that's a function of abortion laws being way, way too liberalized. Of course almost anything can be squeezed into "fetal anomaly."

My mind wonders at how a clinician verifies the criteria. I imagine a question like “Are you requesting termination?” would be a huge legal issue for the clinic conducting the study. That is, they would be more concerned with that child asking THEM for a termination rather than that they are asking someone else. I would expect they need those papers in Spanish or English to approve of THEM terminating this pregnancy.
My good people, for what we allow to take place, I’m afraid we’ll deserve what will happen to us.
Couldn't the University find the studies in their favorite libraries?
A total joke - on us. I just moved, but I am not registering to vote here. Why bother?
Sounds like Nazi’s. God will punish this and all of the evil of the abortion industry. Terrible.
Unless the criteria reads “or” normally that means those criteria are all inclusive. At least that is the way it works when reading statutes or laws.
One obvious thing occurred to me, this trial means there are major concerns with excessive bleeding during 2nd trimester abortions. Funny how you never read about that even from pro abortion gynecologists.
This story is unbelievable!!! Really!!!
Not one citation or source. No one was contacted for a comment.
Hard to believe this story.
My concern with the criteria list is that it is just a list with no explanation whatsoever. It doesn’t say whether there is a score given, for example, they meet all the criteria, they meet only 4, or half.
My experience is that lack of specificity will be used to the advantage of those with control.
