Nice one, Joe.
My pleasure, friend.
So...after 69 years on the planet, I finally get to put some letters after my name:
re_nortex, OZKO
That's actually a lot more prestigious than a mere PhD! :-) Thanks!
OZKO! It has a nice ring to it.
It looks like a fantasy ferris wheel.
IATZ. My what a foul-mouthed hard-hearted creature you are. Buh-bye.
Not really. This was one of your posts on this thread...
I just get tired of stories being posted repeatedly. This is one of many. Why do you ask?
It's not about you. Many of us wouldn't have seen it had it not been reposted. You're the one trying to stop FReepers from posting. That's something the Prez of a HOA would do.
I won't keep you away from your critical tasks any longer. Shouldn't you be measuring your neighbor's shrubbery and writing angy letters to city hall?
No, I’m not into measuring; I’ll leave that up to you. But, thanks for your kind thoughts.
Yet you remarked on the number of times this story was posted.
Counting, measuring...whatever.
I’ll leave that up to you
I don't care how many times this is posted. I was glad to see it; had it not been reposted I would have missed it.
But, thanks for your kind thoughts.
Back atcha.
“This was written by someone with an agenda-—his feelings and morals don’t match his actions. He knows it’s murder, but goes along with it?”
Of course this story might not be true (I hope it’s not true, actually) but I clicked the link and Life Site News says it is a reprint from American Thinker. I think those are two pretty reputable sites and I imagine they would have verified the truth of the story, or at least the identity of the author, since the med recs would be confidential.
But please realize there have been many stories about these “selective reductions” and this is not such a rare “procedure” anymore.
One infamous one was printed in the NY Times (I think, or something at least that well known) and the authoress portrayed herself as rather remorseless over what she had done. I always remember the line about if she had triplets (I think it was triplets reduced to one, who had been born by the time the piece was written iirc) she’d end up being the type of person who bought giant jars of mayonnaise at Costco.
Hubby and I recently joined Costco and while we were there I saw those giant jars. I said to hubby “see those, a woman killed her child just because she didn’t want to buy them”.
And it is a fact that men, even husbands, have NO SAY in whether of not their children are born. I suppose this man could have gone to court, but other men have, and they have lost. Abortion is legally a constitutional right and that is just about that.
I’ve always wondered what the child of that Times article would think of his mother when he grew up and learned she’d had his sibling(s) killed.
Number Of Abortions Since Roe V Wade: Just Under 55 Million (One Child Every 30 Seconds Since Passage)
January 23rd, 2012 Posted By Doc Holiday.
(LifeNews) — A new estimate published by the National Right to Life Committee indicates there have been an estimated 54,559,615 abortions since the Supreme Court handed down its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions.
Although the March for Life took place today, yesterday was the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions — companion cases from Texas and Georgia that struck down pro-life laws protecting unborn children across the country.
In a new document, “Abortion Statistics: United States Data and Trends,” NRLC education director Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon estimates that there have been 54,559,615 abortions since 1973 based on data from both the Centers for Disease Control and the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a former Planned Parenthood research arm. Guttmacher receives numbers directly from abortion centers themselves and is the prime source for more current figures because the Centers for Disease Control has never tabulated accurate numbers of abortions. The CDC relies on figures from state health departments, some of which rely on voluntary reporting — and it hasn’t had data from some states such as California and New Hampshire for more than a decade.
“Because of these different methods of data collection, GI has consistently obtained higher counts than the CDC. CDC researchers have admitted it probably undercounts the total number of abortions because reporting laws vary from state to state and some abortionists probably do not report or under-report the abortions they perform,” O’Bannon says.
