Abortions at home are safe - pilot study (http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,,1710735,00.html)

Women who are less than nine weeks pregnant can safely have medical abortions at home, according to the head of a government-backed pilot project.

Abortion services for the 20,000 women who seek a chemically induced abortion every year could be transformed should the Department of Health's official evaluation of the pilot confirm initial findings. But it is also likely to provoke controversy from anti-abortion campaigners who will claim that home abortions would make the procedure easier and therefore lead to more women having terminations.

That's great news! Being able to do the procedure at home would certainly cut out a lot of costly steps. Heck, you could just include the necessary chemicals in every standard home first aid kit-- bandaids, gauze, and some liquid abortion. Avoiding multiple trips to a doctor might help women who are reluctant to get an abortion make the right choice in the comfort of their own home.

A few months ago I was darkly joking. I said that the abortion movement had finally found a way to their goal of not having babies born at all. Kill the mothers. I wasn't so much joking as being prescient.

As it was a short step from the initial six months of Roe v. Wade to PBA, so is it a short step from "nine weeks" to "What the heck, 36 weeks too."

:thud:
I'm sorry, this is disturbing, highly disturbing. Great, the women in their study had no complications. What about women who do, and you know there will be many. Why must abortion become this all protected procedure that is not held to the same standards as anything else?

Truly a sad, sad day has arrived.

Delightfully morbid as usual. :evilgrin:

Wade to PBA, so is it a short step from "nine weeks" to "What the heck, 36 weeks too."Following the trajectory of the proabortionists, the most effective method would be to wait til' the kid is born, then add an ounce of strychnine in the formula. Yep. That'll do it. :uhh:

I'm so glad to know I can safely murder my unborn child in the comfort of my own home now. I guess the libs are serious when they say a woman shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by a pregnancy. :rolleyes:

[adstrinity]

OH! I so want to make a coat hanger remark!!!

Anyway, doesn't the pill provide for a lot of abortions between weeks 1-5? We're talking a way to kill the baby for the next four weeks. GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT....ugh. One can see the formed child at two months. Oh, I'm sure this will do a world of good for the mental health of the mom, seing a fully formed small transparent person they have to piece back together or still see breathing before he or she dies....

One thing that came to mind ... don't the pro-abortion supporters chant the mantra of legal, rare, and for the health of the mother? Isn't this an indictment that the REAL issue is a push for CONVENIENCE abortions NOT those needed for the "health and safety" of the mother? I mean, if it was a health and safety issue, WHY would they want to allow women to do it at home??

The whole abortion argument is a LIE. They do NOT want abortion to be rare, they want it legal for anytime, anywhere, and any reason, and the "health and safety" tagline is the candy coating so the pill will go down more smoothly (pardon the pun).

:unsmile: The pro-abortion wackos have no concern for the safety of women. This do-it-yourself abortion will no doubt be a lot more complicated, & present far more complications, than the snake oil salesmen hawking it would have unsuspecting women believe.

:unsmile: I fail to see how abortion would ever be the right choice, but especially not for a woman who is reluctant to have one. Do you think every woman who gets pregnant should have an abortion?

[DoctorDoom]

Bill Clinton in his 1992 campaign promised to make abortion "safe, legal and rare" (his megabitch wife has also used the phrase). Like every other thing he ever said, he lied about this.

It is "legal" only because the SCOTUS, via Roe v Wade, wiped out every state law prohibiting it, but it is NOT safe and it damned well is not rare. And XXX-42's administration was rabidly pro-abortion (http://www.ictks.com/rush/books/clintondocs/clint_abort.html).

[DoctorDoom]

That's great news!Fortunately for you, kid, your mom didn't make that "choice".

Despite what they may say, Planned Parenthood and other gazillionaire abortion <del>mill</del> clinic operators certainly don't want it to be "rare."

Sorry, but I don't see much difference between aborting a baby in the privacy of her home by means of a coat-hanger, or aborting a baby in the privacy of her home by means of some chemical substance.

Safer? How do we know? Because some abortionist tested the chemical substance on what? 172 women? Oh, boy. and extensive research, no doubt. :rolleyes:

[DeclinetoState]

I'm sure letting women <del>snuff out</del> abort their children at home will make the procedure safe, legal--and rare.
