The Alameda County coroner's office is investigating the case of an 18- year-old East Bay woman who died Wednesday, days after reportedly taking the abortion pill RU-486.

The victim's father told The Chronicle that his 18-year-old daughter had gotten a prescription for RU-486 at a Planned Parenthood office in Hayward on Sept. 10 to end her seven-week pregnancy.

DO NOT MESS with children; born or unborn. God has a special place for them and extreme consequences for those who hurt them.

Sad, the girl probably didn't even think she was committing murder.

I've gotten emails that we were suppose to be boycotting things MADE IN FRANCE. Here is a prime example of their conspiracy.

Incomplete abortions can cause a bleeding disorder cslled DIC (disseminated intravascular coaggulation). Here's some info:

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs when the blood clotting mechanisms are activated throughout the body instead of being localized to an area of injury. Small blood clots form throughout the body, and eventually the blood clotting factors are used up and not available to form clots at sites of tissue injury. Clot dissolving mechanisms are also increased. This disorder is variable in its clinical effects, and can result in either clotting symptoms or, more often, bleeding. Bleeding can be severe. DIC may be stimulated by many factors including infection in the blood by bacteria or fungus, severe tissue injury as in burns and head injury, cancer, reactions to blood transfusions, and obstetrical complications such as retained placenta after delivery.

How many women die each year from botched abortions? We have NO WAY of knowing. As far as I know, it is not recorded as abortion. Her death cert. probably says hemorage or infection. This is just another one of their dirty little secrets. There are many women that are dead and vegetables because of these butchers. They don't want people to know women are dying as much now as they were in the so called "coat hanger" days. The reality was that it was usually done by a doctor as an outpatient. The coat hanger crap was just that, crap.

About 5 people died awhile back taking an amino acid called L- Tryptophan and the gubmint banned it. We could have hundreds injured or dead from abortion, but thats OK. We should insist that the death toll be counted, mother and baby. These figures should be available in FIA.

Yep. If this were a vitamin supplement or herbal extract, it would be BANNED by the FDA. Nothing, however, must be allowed to stand in the way of 'reproductive rights', ie. the 'right' to kill the baby trying to reproduce in the womb.

But we can relax, because that baby is really only "The pre-embryo or embryo and other products of conception that develop during pregnancy."

No, just trying to save bandwidth for the FR. There are double posts for certain topics only because the article "titles" are different while the "subject" is the same.

It is incumbent and a "common courtesy" for Jim Rob and freepers for the poster to do a search "before" they post.

In this case, all three separate threads contained the very same "title" and "article".

Her boyfriend rushed her late Sunday to Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton, Patterson said.

Big of him. I couldn't stand to read any more after that. God have mercy on us all.

"She took a death pill. A death occured.Shocker."

Real shocker-two deaths for the price of one. Planned parenthoodlums will be demanding that someone to pay for the extra death.

Maybe the abortion wasn't his idea, Saundra. The sire has not an iota of sayso in the matter of abortion.

I'm not defending the bastard. If he suggested the abortion or was all in favor of it, he should be neutered, so no one else dies because of his unwillingness to accept responsibility for his actions.

The father in another article claims that Holly made the decision with her boyfriend, so he at least knew but did not tell anyone until too late.

I am not going to absolve either of these kids of all responsibility for their tragic decision. In too many ways, they are all three, victems of the morally twisted times we are living in and the warped, demented adults in authority, outside the family unit, that parents are forced to entrust their precious children with from K thru twelve. Where they are indoctrinated into the liberal philosophy of irresponsibility and masochistic victemhood.

In the pre-Roe vs Wade America, these young lovers would have likely married and raised their baby. There may have been a lot of cussing and discussing among the parents of the lovers, but in the end, these children would have become a family unit and the grand parents would have doted on and spoiled their grand baby aka the younguns love child.

I grieve for all who suffer from what has happened here and I despise those pro-abortion monsters who are responsible for all this unneccessary suffering.

...."that baby is really only "The pre-embryo or embryo and other products of conception that develop during pregnancy."......

I can't even read that with sarcasm and make it make sense. Can people really say this stuff with a straight face? Someone needs to have to defend that kind of statement everytime its said. I wonder if they are going to drop 1 murder charge on Scott Peterson because, after all, it was just cut bait they found. We've talked about every possible detail in the charge except that.
