Eat that……if you can!

Is the lesson clear?

Have 15 abortions, you’re a hero. Have 15 kids, you’re a freak.

If we allow the report title as correct, they need to double the death count. The child ALWAYS dies! But of course to these morally bankrupt fools, that’s not the issue nor does it fit their agenda and template.

Question Mr or Mrs/Ms Report Writer: How many infants die worldwide annually from your “safe” or “unsafe” abortions?

From the relativistic AP:

Report: Unsafe abortions kill 70,000 annually

A ridiculous headline at best. I mean, think about it.

NEW YORK – Increased contraceptive use has led to fewer abortions worldwide, but deaths from unsafe abortion remain a severe problem, killing 70,000 women a year, a research institute reported Tuesday in a major global survey…

Except for one person, who it’s not safe for, ever.

“But in much of the developing world, abortion remains highly restricted, and unsafe abortion is common and continues to damage women’s health and threaten their survival.”

Yes, survival of the mother is key.

The report calls for further easing of developing nations’ abortion laws, a move criticized by Deirdre McQuade, a policy director with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities.

“We need to be much more creative in assisting women with supportive services so they don’t need to resort to the unnatural act of abortion,” she said.

Yes, we wouldn’t want to have to resort to that unnatural act. And creativity is the key there. Honestly, how does ‘creativity’ factor into it at all? Abstinence isn’t very creative. Neither is condoms. Unless we’re talking about sewing the damn thing up. Now THAT’s creative.

Guttmacher estimated previously that the number of abortions worldwide fell from 45.5 million in 1995 to 41.6 million in 2003 — the latest year for which global figures were available.

A key reason for that drop, the new report said, was that the portion of married women using contraception increased from 54 percent in 1990 to 63 percent in 2003 as availability increased and social mores changed. Guttmacher’s researchers said contraceptive use had increased in every major region, but still lagged badly in Africa — used by only 28 percent of married women there, compared with at least 68 percent in other major regions.

Well, I guess it’s progress….of a sort.

Memoir of a former abortion addict

By Robin Abcarian

Reporting from Denver – Irene Vilar’s house, a charming old place on a leafy block outside Denver, is a monument to her mothering. Half the downstairs has been transformed into a preschool, with picture books, educational toys and art supplies in organized disarray.

Outside, her little girls, 3-year-old Lolita and 5-year-old Loretta, are decorating the walkway with brown-eyed susans plucked from the garden. It is a scene of almost magical domesticity.

Inside, their mother, a striking 40-year-old literary agent with big, brown eyes, long, straight hair and a Spanish-inflected lilt that gives away her Puerto Rican roots, is describing how, from the age of 16 to 33, she could neither stop herself from conceiving, nor from terminating her pregnancies. Fifteen of them.

She explores her history in a brutally frank new memoir, “Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict.”

Even before it was published last week, Vilar’s story unleashed a wave of emotion in the anti-abortion community. Reactions have included pity and — at least in one blogger’s case — a call to put her behind bars.

On the abortion rights side, reaction has been muted.

“The majority of pro-choicers — and I don’t blame them — are somewhat confused,” said Vilar. Vilar believes that access to legal abortion saved her life because she would have found a way to end her pregnancies no matter what.

“Abortion exists everywhere, legal or not,” she said. Latin America, she noted, has a relatively high abortion rate and stringent anti-abortion laws. Most abortions in the region are considered “unsafe” by health authorities, who estimate that up to 5,000 women in the region die each year from abortions.

Vilar, whose pregnancies were punctuated by several suicide attempts, is aware of the horrific reaction her story may inspire. (Worried about the safety of her family, she asked that her neighborhood not be identified.) …
