<<<<<<Have you ever seen a dismembered Child? I'm baffled that you can "stomach" the killing of innocent children. >>>>>> You guys are baroque. Again: have you ever seen a menstrual period? Lots of them contain aborted embryos. Have you ever seen an embryo of about six weeks? I have. It looks like a blood clot with some fat in it. Or gristle. How do you feel about ru486? About first trimester abortions? Do you refer to a fertilized ovum when you ask "have you ever seen a dismembered Child"? Do you agree with below that "overpopulation is a myth"? I think you make an exception in the cases of rape and incest. Am I remembering correctly, or would you, like PROLIFE, force a raped woman or child to carry the embryo of her rapist to term?

or inconveniencing a woman for a few months the choice seems clear to me that statement made me angry and I'll tell you why it isn't simply a matter of inconveniencing a woman for a mere few months. it is a HUGE step that effects a woman, her health, her life and her future Every time a woman is pregnant, which happens an estimated 200 million times every year around the world, she risks a sudden and unpredictable complication that could result in her death or injury, and the death or injury of her infant. At least 40% of all pregnant women will experience some type of complication during their pregnancies. For about 15%, this complication will be potentially life-threatening, and will require immediate obstetric care. {M. Koblinsky, "Mother and More: A Broader Perspective on Women’s Health", in M. Koblinsky, et al., eds., The Health of Women: A Global Perspective. Westview Press, Oxford, 1993} there are many health issues involved: pre-existing health problems, miscarriage, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, smoke, high temperatures, radiation exposure, prescription medications, nausea and vomiting, chronic fatigue, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, bleeding gums, toxemia, swelling/fluid retention, dizziness, low blood sugar, gestational diabetes, RH factors, group B strep, amniotic fluid complications, placental complications, cervical infection, anemia, breech delivery, pre-term delivery, cesarean and those are only the health issues. it doesn't even begin to address the social, psychological and personal issues so maybe to you it is a mere inconvenience, but to the woman who will be going through this process, it is a life altering decision
