Oxytocin is that feel good hormone that bonds a child to his or her mother. But never mind that.
Researchers in Hawaii are recruiting girls as young as 14 to participate in second trimester abortions, where the preborn baby is 18-24 weeks gestation, in order to test whether or not oxytocin can reduce bleeding in mothers during and after abortion.
The study is being conducted by the University of Hawaii and the University of Washington in Seattle – both public universities, which leads to the obvious question: is the government funding this study?
A second trimester abortion is at least a two-day procedure, where the baby is given heart-stopping medication, then either is delivered the next day or is dismembered by the abortionist. Women have died from having legal abortions this late in pregnancy, such as Jennifer Morbelli, who died in 2013 as a result of a late-term abortion. Tonya Reaves died in 2012 after a dilation and evacuation second trimester abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago. And Karnamaya Mongar was killed by late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell in 2009.
The clinical study in Hawaii is seeking 166 participants and supposedly started in October of last year and is expected to finish in July of this year. That is 166 mothers who are going to hurt by the devastating effects of abortion. That is at least 166 children who will suffer a horrendous and painful death in the name of research.
Several scientific studies have shown babies feel pain by at least 20 weeks gestation. When subjected to painful stimuli, babies will flinch, recoil and jerk away. For mothers, the risk of physical harm drastically increases the later in pregnancy the abortion happens. During first trimester abortions, the chance of physical complications are around 6 percent but increase to 50 percent or higher for abortions into the second trimester. A study on abortion-related mortality from 1988 to 1997 showed that women died from abortions at a rate of 29.5 deaths per 100,000 at 16 to 20 weeks. After 21 weeks, it was 76.6 deaths per 100,000.
This study at the University of Hawaii is seeking to abort babies 18-24 weeks gestation, putting mothers at a high risk of complications and even death.
The state of Hawaii does not fall under any specific laws, like a waiting period or parental consent, for abortion restrictions. Abortions are legal at any time and for whatever reason.
The U.S. House of Representatives had scheduled a vote during the March for Life in January of this year to ban abortions after 20 weeks but supposed pro-life Congresswomen Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) and Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) torpedoed the bill and nothing has been said about the bill since. If abortions are banned on a federal level, this sickening study would not be taking place.
The study is currently under way at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, led by Bliss Kaneshiro and Kate Whitehouse. The center does not mention they do abortions on their website nor does it mention they are housing this study and aborting possibly viable babies.
The first EPICure study in the United Kingdom recorded 4,001 babies born between 22 to 25 weeks six days and found: “311 babies survived and were eventually discharged, including two babies born at 22 weeks, six at 23 weeks, 100 at 24 weeks and 186 babies at 25.” The link shows beautiful photos of these little ones, undeniably in human form.
Babies of the same age will not be given the chance at life because of this horrific “research” in Hawaii.
The University of Hawaii needs to stop this study immediately. They are recruiting children to abort their own children in late-term abortions, a very risky procedure that ends the life of at least one person involved.
If the government is funding this study, that cash flow should be immediately cut off as government funds are forbidden from paying for abortions. There are other ways to test the ability of a specific drug to stop hemorrhaging than taking the life of an innocent child and putting its mother at risk for possibly severe physical, mental and emotional complications.

Dr Mengele would be proud of them. Also, I'm sure they've done all investigation by police into the means by which these 14 year old girls have gotten pregnant.
Too bad they didn’t have this study and experimentation 55 years ago on Hawaii unborn babies then.
For just a fraction of a moment, I said, “What on earth are they doing, giving Oxycontin to kids?!” ... :-) ...
I remember reading and hearing about the horrors of medical research conducted by the ghouls of the Nazi regime. All the way from finding the most efficient way to dispatch problem Jews at the least cost (exhaust gas, rifle bullets through front-to-back victims, burnings, and finally Zyklon B). How humane of our Nazi’s today in their efforts to make sure the murdering mother has the least discomfort in her experience.
The goal it seems is to make it so pleasant and painless in fact, she would be eager and willing to do it all over again. How compassionate.
These kind of atrocities were government sanctioned once before - Zieg Heil!
(”As ye have done it unto these...”)
Absolutely outrageous! Unforgivable.
There was a Japanese medical researcher during WWII who did the same thing over there. I think he was “Colonel Ishi”...something like that. The Koreans showed a movie about it while I was there in the early 90’s: “Sticks”.
Horrendous stuff. Killings for so-called medical research. You wonder how this can get through a department and established as a project without someone going ballistic. But, they see no problem.
Their hearts are stone...or gone.
His Spirit would not permit this.
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy,
Lord have mercy.

Let’s all vote GOP in the 2016 elections. They’ll fight for you. They’ll stop the Democrats. They’ll oppose the progressive agenda. If you stay at home the Democrats will win and bad things will happen.
Just sitting here thinking about all of the benefit I’ve derived from the GOP House majority since January 2011. For some reason I can’t remember a thing. It must be dementia. My Republican friends assure me they are opposing the secular socialist state everyday.
That's not what they're doing. They are recruiting girls who are already seeking abortions to be part of their study of whether or nto oxytocin can reduce bleeding in mothers during and after abortion.
The truth is bad enough. No need to misrepresent it.
the names here presented are irrelevant to the “story” but I had to comment on one of them just to break the hideous chill that overame me while reading of this most bizarre pagan ritual..
“he study is currently under way at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, led by Bliss Kaneshiro and Kate Whitehouse. “
which news service will be the first to gift us with a headline reading “Whitehouse does Abortions...”
It was Colonel Ishi.
I am going to FReep you something about him, and let you decide if I should post it.
Go here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02083809
The parameters for inclusion do not say that the girls must ALREADY be seeking termination. This is the actual link to the study. Nor does it say that all of the inclusion criteria must apply.
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02083809
The inclusion criteria specifies,
“Patients with fetal anomaly or intrauterine fetal demise that occurred at 18- to 24-weeks gestation”
If it was restricted to babies which had died in the womb that would be one thing. But any aborting of live babies is unacceptable. Fetal anomaly is rather a broad term and could mean anything from cleft palate to a baby with problems so severe they could not survive to full term.
I agree that the word anomaly can mean just about anything. It also strikes me that it doesn’t say that all of the inclusion criteria must apply to be included. It can be read to say that these are criteria by which they will determine inclusion. It could be one or more...or none.
The very first "Inclusion Criteria" is that the subject is "Requesting pregnancy termination."
And, by definition, all inclusion criteria must apply. That's how clinical research studies work - the list of inclusion criteria is a list of essential criteria that all study participants must have. So the page does not need to explicitly say that all inclusion criteria must apply, because that's what "inclusion criteria" means.
Requesting pregnancy termination is not defined by "when". On seeing this study, one could be requesting termination.
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.
Finally, 'fetal anomaly' is so broad as to be the equivalent of Mitt Romney's 'health of mother'.
