And still no explanation of what point you were trying to make in post 21. Just more evasion and suggestions to look here and look there. Forbid it that you should just state your meaning.

Evasion.

Post 22.

You've just been told that post 22 had nothing at all to do with post 21. One was about the size of the unborn child at 19 weeks while the other was about your accepted reasons for an abortion at 19 weeks. Evasion 517.

This is interesting and probably not a unique experience.

I have absolutely no clue what your problem is.

Well, this is obviously not going to be answered. "And still no explanation of what point you were trying to make in post 21. Just more evasion and suggestions to look here and look there. Forbid it that you should just state your meaning."

Quote:

Although I was aborting my baby, there was no question about the love I had for it, so giving that baby up to somebody else would have been impossible for me to do.

A titanically stupid observation. It amounts to saying, "I love my baby so much that I'm going to let someone brutally kill it rather than give him/her the beautiful option of being raised by another family and have an opportunity to live."

Just amazing to me how your liberal philosophy has led you down such an indefensible road.

Quote:

Because you have steadfastly refused to answer the question. Simple.

I think you do. You're a smart woman and you know the game you're playing. "Oh, just look at post 22 which has nothing whatsoever to do with post 21 and you'll get your answer!!" Please.

Post #21 was a description of a 19-week fetus. What is your question?

My point was how tiny and incomplete a 19-week-old fetus is.

Quote:

The fetus was not viable at 19 weeks. The mother was 15. Had she been your daughter and the center of ribald humor and nastiness at school, what would you have suggested and how would you have handled her going through the entire pregnancy?

No, all you did was evade my comments about your anti-abortion stance. It's theatrics when your abortion stance is challenged, but self-defense when you approve abortion for yourself. I can't believe you actually wrote that. You are more repulsive than even I suspected.

Quote:

I haven't changed my position.

Yes, we all now know that you approve of abortion in certain circumstances - the ordinary position of the majority. Welcome to the pro-choice club.

Quote:

Gruesome and grizzly details? You just, as the famous line goes, can't handle the truth. That is exactly what happens in a D&E abortion. Contradict it if you can.

Good Lord! Why would I contradict it? What, in God's name, is your point?

Quote:

You are so hesitant to answer questions, it's hard to know where you stand.

Anyone reading these posts and all I've ever made here has not a single solitary problem understanding where I'm coming from. Except you, or course, But that's more a matter of your refusal to see.

Quote:

But you can solve that problem now. What is your standard of when life begins?

Note to readers. You can be certain that question will not be answered.

Note to readers. There's no point in answering it for Jl since he's now self-identified as pro-choice. Anyone else interested may ask me.

Quote:

So now the truth comes out. It WAS about size equating to worth. So you're OK with dismembering an unborn baby as long as it is not large enough to be considered important?

Quote:

I would not have told her to kill her baby. I would support her and remind her that she is carrying a precious, wonderful human being worthy of life and protection.

Right again! That's 3 for 3. You are altogether too predictable.

Quote:

To save the mother's life, yes. Only a die-hard abortion enthusiast like you would fail to see that. Thankfully, it is very rare.

Quote:

That second term abortions are, as you said, "grizzly" procedures. The baby is torn into pieces. Now you are evidently OK with that, and that is really my point. In failing to oppose it, you endorse it. Finally we have a position for Athos.

Quote:

. It's theatrics when your abortion stance is challenged, but self-defense when you approve abortion for yourself

If you know for a fact that mother and baby are going to die, then you have no choice. But as I said, and it remains unanswered (as usual) by you, what about the other 99.99% pregnancies?

Note to readers. There is practically zero chance that Athos will answer that question.

You certainly jump to conclusions. No, it had nothing to do with that at all. A fetus that size does not have to be ripped or suctioned out of a uterus. Tom didn't mention at least one other method used in abortions, in the first trimester and in the early part of the second trimester.

Quote:

And regarding all the nastiness and dissing she got at school -- how is she to handle that? And once the baby has been born, then what?

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Predictably, you have no support for your statement. Tell us about that abortion technique in the second term which does not involve suction or a D&E. Your statement is just silly. I gave you a link to a med college, for crying out loud. You know more than them?

You do realize that parents handle these situations every day, don't you? It's not pleasant or easy, but it's about a million times better than your solution of having the baby killed. And ten years later, she will be glad she did the difficult but right thing. That's how life goes.

Did you read this comment by the young lady?

Quote:

I should be happy, living my life like I wanted to but I can't anymore. I'm so depressed and only have my boyfriend left. My friends have all left me, some are even saying that I made the whole pregnancy up. I mean seriously, how disgusting of them right?

How'd that work out for that poor girl? What a sad outcome.

Interesting quote.

Quote:

Alan Guttmacher of Planned Parenthood did more to promote and spread abortion on demand throughout the world than any other individual. Nearly fifty years ago, he commented, “Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal disease such as cancer or leukemia, and if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save the life.”

I haven't said she should kill the fetus. How would you handle it if your daughter got pregnant? What would happen to the newborn?

This is why I weep when I read your replies:

mifepristone and misoprostol

Are not used in the second trimester. They are not used at all after 10 weeks, and I've never heard of misoprostol being an abortifacient. Perhaps so, but I've never heard of it.

Your statement was simply wrong. " A fetus that size does not have to be ripped or suctioned out of a uterus." And I did give you a link to a med school description of abortions. Perhaps you did not read it? I know I overreact at times, but it gets very old trying to help someone understand the issues involved who, quite frankly, does not seem to want to understand. Help me see the error of my ways if that's wrong.

Very well. The fact remains that this is a completely wrong statement. " A fetus that size does not have to be ripped or suctioned out of a uterus."

Not true. Mifepristone and misoprostol can be used.

Not after ten weeks. The baby you were referring to was 19 weeks. Do your homework BEFORE you post. Even your own link that you posted told you that. "We went to see my GP who claimed I was 16 weeks pregnant and referred me to the hospital abortion ward. At this point me and my ex had started talking again but it was wrong for me to bring up the abortion to him as it was obvious he had already assumed I'd had it. So I kept it to myself."

I really think that if you had any real interest in the truth, you would never have posted your plainly incorrect statement which you could have found out about yourself in all of ten minutes. Ru 486 is not cleared for use after ten weeks.

Mifeprex (mifepristone) Information | FDA

But does it really make you feel better to have found a non-violent means of abortion? Isn't the baby's life still destroyed? That really solves the problem for you?

It worked! I opened the door and you came charging through, blasting me with your usual nastiness, just as I knew you would!

The only door you have opened is the door of ignorance. It's hopeless. The truth does not interest you. You posted a comment that was plainly wrong. You are so intent on defending the ability of doctors to kill these unborn babies that it all just becomes funny to you. Very sad. I guarantee you that you did not have the courage to watch the five minute youtube video I linked earlier. It might have disturbed your delightful ignorance.

This girl's plight doesn't bother you at all, does it? It's all just part of your big joke. "I should be happy, living my life like I wanted to but I can't anymore. I'm so depressed and only have my boyfriend left. My friends have all left me, some are even saying that I made the whole pregnancy up. I mean seriously, how disgusting of them right?" Sorry to say it, but this girl's mistake was in listening to people who have no interest in the truth. You seem to be one of them.

Sorry, Charlie. I interned at Catholic Charities for nine months. I know exactly what happens during abortions. Oh, and I've been pregnant myself. And have never said here I'm on board for abortion.

No you don't. This comment proves it. " A fetus that size does not have to be ripped or suctioned out of a uterus." Well yeah, it actually does. Your miracle pills don't work at 19 weeks, so your own words demonstrate your utter lack of knowledge on the subject, "Charlie".

And if you don't have the courage to oppose abortions, then yeah, you're on board.

No, a fetus no matter how far along doesn't have to be ripped or suctioned out of a woman's uterus.

I thought this is a discussion site.

Poor WG. You are simply wrong. Do you not see that you are wildly disagreeing with a med school? You might as well say that you know that stents are not used in heart patients because, after all, you did a nine month internship. Oh brother. Why do you think doctors perform suction and D&E abortions hundreds of thousands of times a year. Why do you think they do that, so they can have a little fun?

Do you ever really listen to yourself?

Here is the problem. You want to be pro-abortion without having to identify as pro-abortion. If you choose to ignore it, and even passively support it, then you are pro-abortion.

ONE med SCHOOL??? Do some research, Charlie!

Yeah. Those med schools staffed with med experts don’t know anything. You have to come to this obscure web site and check in with someone who did a nine month internship to find out the truth.

You need to go onstage. You’re really funny!

As I said earlier, a fetus no matter how far along doesn't have to be ripped or suctioned out of a woman's uterus. There are other, less violent methods.

If all prepubescent males had a reversible vasectomy done, abortions would be rare.

Note to readers. WG actually believes that.

Hmm, how did that embryo come to exist? The female dreamt it and her dream came true? Or maybe it was from the Brussels sprouts she had at dinner?

And apparently Charlie -- whoops JL -- has never heard of an induced miscarriage and how its done.

So now you want to change the subject? Well, women could try keeping their pants on until they get married. But I guess your incredible plan of the government physically forcing teenage boys to have an invasive surgery seems, amazingly, to be a better plan to you.

No subject change. Preventing abortions begins with preventing pregnancies. And that begins with ... you know.... (You sound like Adam: "The woman made me do it!")

How about this? It's also because of a male's testosterone that they have to have sex. So how about giving them regular doses of estrogen?

A vasectomy doesn't have to be invasive. It's minor surgery, can be done very quickly and simply.

It’s like the old saying. Surgery done on you is minor. Surgery done on me is major.

It's painless with few aftereffects beyond the most important one. The GOP doesn't want women to get abortions, so I'm going to present this fool-proof remedy to them. Bet they'll be thrilled!

Why not force women to get a reversible tubal ligation?

Quote:

That's MUCH more complicated and invasive than a reversible vasectomy that's just a snip-tieoff and you're done. No sperm, no pregnancy! Voila! What fun we can have with no responsibilities!

Nah. Not anymore. And it’s painless with few after effects other than the important one.

I thought you liked the idea of government enforced surgery?

That's the vasectomy you're talking about. And a tubal ligation isn't easily reversed.

Quote:

For reversible vasectomies, yes!

Neither is a vaz. And only in favor of forced surgery for men?? Sexist!!

Note to readers: There is zero chance (no practically about it) that Jl is anything but a hypocritical phony who enjoys painting gruecome pictures of fetuses being terminated, all the while being pro-choice himself as he has so clearly and definitively admitted in these very pages.

I was right again! It's four for four now. And the reader can see that noticeable side order of anger accompanying the main course of evasion. But I'll repeat my statement just in case you have changed your mind.

"If you know for a fact that mother and baby are going to die, then you have no choice. But as I said, and it remains unanswered (as usual) by you, what about the other 99.99% pregnancies?

Note to readers. There is practically zero chance that Athos will answer that question." He scarcely ever does.
