Apparently, if your obgyn also provides abortions, then they are not safe to care for a pregnant woman who is keeping the pregnancy:

Conscience rule might get overturned.

God, do I hope not. I don't want to have an OB/GYN who does abortions. I figured when I got pregnant someday I'd just go to a Catholic hospital and not have to think about it. Ugh, I already hate pelvic exams, so this'll be just another reason why I won't want to come within fifty feet of one...

Thanks a lot, Obama. How in hell am I supposed to trust a doctor to look out for my baby's best interests if this happens? I'll go in for an ultrasound and all I'll be thinking is, "Why should you care about this baby when you might have killed one the same age yesterday?"

This is so dumb that it's hysterically funny.

I saw it on Pharyngula, and it's called "Crazy Sprinkler Lady".

The other day I was thinking about how many people there are on the planet compared to different species. It kind of made me sick to think about how many of us there are compared to how few of so many of them there are. Here's a small comparison:

giant pandas                                                 1600
polar bears                                                     20,000 to 25,000
tigers                                                                less than 4,000
Blue Whales                                                  3,000 to 5,000
North Atlantic Right Whale                          300 to 350
Rhinos                                                             1600

Asian Elephants                                             25,600 to 32,750
Great Apes
Bonobos                                                         f60,000 to fewer than 5,000
Borneo Orangutan
Central Bornean                                             38,000
NW Bornean                                                     3,000
Central Champanzee                                     Up to 115,000
Cross River Gorilla                                         300
Eastern Lowland Gorilla                                maybe 17,000 at one time
Mountain Gorilla                                             700
Sumatran Orangutan                                     7500
Western chimpanzee                                     21,000 to 55,000
Western Lowland Gorilla                             possibly 100,000


Humans                                                             6,600,000,000

What are some reasons that school-aged girls who are actively using birth control, choose to continue an accidental pregnancy rather that abort?

How can you request that somebody put you on their friend's list?  For example I have "friended" someone and they have not "friended" me in return. 

Thanks.

Recently a mother of a 16 year old son asked me if her son gets his 16 year old girlfriend pregnant, would she be liable in any way for child support?  After looking into it I found that under certain conditions, she could be responsible for child support of her son's child, until he turns 18.

What do you think about this?

This is my latest post on my blog:  http://wingnutwatch.typepad.com/wingnutwatch/

Well this just keeps getting better and better.  I recently wrote about an anti-choice woman posing as an abortion consultant in the post entitled: Another Anti-Choice Scam.  In it I exposed the woman's education and credentials section to be, let's just say, less than honest.  Here is what she wrote:

Education/Credentials
Illinois Valley Community College (LaSalle-Peru, Illinois), Austin Community College and Travel Agent Degree.
Almost 20 years of on-the-job training onsite at abortion clinics and volunteering at pregnancy resource centers. Sonogram training and Post Abortion Counseling Training. Have done research with hundreds of women almost 20 years regarding abortion, pregnancy and post abortion."

Do you suppose those almost 20 years of on the job training and counseling were spent PROTESTING ON A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF A CLINIC SOMEWHERE?

Here's the part where it just keeps getting better.  I recently realized that on the web site where this woman is  a volunteer, AllExperts,  she is NOT a volunteer in the Teen Pregnancy section!  Isn't that where she could actually be helping people?  That's where young women write in with questions like, "I'm pregnant and my parents are kicking me out of the house, where can I get help?" Isn't this the exact situation the "pro-life" crowd is supposed to address?

To make matters worse, this woman does in fact volunteer in another section of AllExperts.  You can find her in the Birth Control section, telling women to STOP USING BIRTH CONTROL!

Here is her expertise  in this section:

View Profile
I can answer questions about the various methods of birth control. I can answer questions like "What would be the best method of birth control for me?" and other problems and concerns. I have researched side effects and risks of various methods of birth control. I have almost 20 years of experience working with various pregnancy resource centers. Please contact me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you would like to know more information about your situation 

What would be the best method?  Why, she tells you in every answer she gives, here are a few examples:

I don't recommend the pills. I don't recommend any hormonal method of birth control because I don't think it is healthy for women.

I would advise a natural or prolife doctor as most doctors put women on birth control without realizing the research that has been coming out recently about hormonal risks and problems.

No method of birth control, hormonal or condoms can guarantee 100% no pregnancy. The only 100% guaranteed no pregnancy is abstinence. If I were you I would just wait to see if you miss your period or have other symptoms. If so, then get a pregnancy test at a local pregnancy resource center. You can find one by calling 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org . If not in U.S. then please go to this website http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

I would be careful though, as no birth control method is 100% safe from pregnancy and no birth control method stops STD's or sexually transmitted diseases. I always recommend abstinence as there are no dangers from pregnancy or disease.

I'm not a medical doctor but personally, I don't recommend any kind of birth control that has serious side effects. In my opinion, I think that the IUD in general is not healthy for a woman's body. I believe in natural things and keeping things the way are bodies are designed. There is a chance that you could have a side effect such as you mentioned. Is it possible that you could have it removed and go with Natural Family planning? Do you need to have any kind of birth control right now the way your life is?

She's super helpful, isn't she?  Don't forget about her awesome abortion wisdom, either.

All Experts is a web site where everyday people help answer questions related to just about anything.  In the health area, there is a section about abortion.  People write in with questions all about it, from a medical stand point.  It has nothing to do with debate, for, against, etc.

The people answering the questions usually have a modicum of experience and educational background in their particular area.  Check out this woman's credentials, however:

This is my latest  blog post:

Motivation for being Against Abortion Similar to Motivation for Female Genital Mutilation

This is a recent post from ehealth which shows the contempt many anti-choicers have for women:

    Woomen are not required to become pregnant and very much can choose the courses of action that either can or can't result in pregnancy. a self centered female gives in to her primal urges because she lacks self control and then has the audacity to blame her choices on defenseless victims that result from her choices.

This is from an article discussing the motivation behind female genital mutilation:

    A more complete answer comes with understanding a core belief many communities have about women. This belief holds that women are fundamentally sexual creatures and naturally promiscuous; thus the purpose of FGM is to prevent women from succumbing to these impulses and to protect them against the sexual aggressions of others.

Seems pretty clear to me.
