AU: Miscarried baby thrown out as medical waste....

 An Australian couple are considering legal action against the hospital and the personnel who discarded their miscarried baby at 17 weeks gestation. Following the miscarriage, the "fetus" was tested to see if  they could cause. When they contacted the hospital about retrieving their baby for burial they were shocked  to be told.....

"... by a nurse at Swan District Hospital that "it's not a baby, it's just a fetus" and that it had "probably been thrown out with the medical waste."

"There was no apology from hospital staff, no explanation as to why this couple's baby was thrown out in the waste, and no offer of counseling whatsoever."

Another couple in the US suffered the loss of their child at 22 weeks gestation and had the opportunity to have a funeral service and bury their child named Kaylee Hope.

As we all know fetus is a Latin word for offspring or young one. Ultrasound is of offspring at 17 weeks gestation. Shame on the hospital personnel.

George Bush: Visual learning experience shapes his pro life views

Story and photo from Huffington Post;

Post on this from pro abortion Huffington Post is pretty straightforward with not much editorializing. I summarized it with my comments...

In  his book tour to promote Decision Points, Former President George W. Bush tells us a story that happened when he was a teenager that shaped his pro life viewpoints. His mother had suffered a miscarriage and stored the remains in a jar to take to the hospital. She showed Bush ,then a teen,  the remains and he was stunned to see how formed the baby was at that stage and it hit him that this was indeed a human life, a brother or sister he would never meet. This had a profound impact on him at an early age that life should be respected. Bush would go on to be one of the most pro life presidents we had. It goes to show that we are visual learners and that impacted not only the individual but the eventually the nation . Mrs. Barbara Bush is often touted by the abortion supporters  as being pro choice. In this book he quotes his mother as saying that she hates abortion but could not make that decision for someone else.  This was her generation's way of compartmentalizing her thinking. She hates abortion but I don't want to tell you what to do. Not exactly pro abortion as they like to say.....why would she hate abortion and not choose it?  Probably because like her son she realizes  that it is the purposeful ending of a human life.

Utah: Intentional miscarriages now against the law.....

This is interesting for many reasons. First note that she was  a minor and  threatened by her boyfriend if she did not terminate pregnancy. Second, had she gone to an abortionist and done it that way, no legal issue for either of them....third, they describe being beaten to encourage a miscarriage as barbaric...well how barbaric to the baby is being dismembered???........and best of all no one wants to defend abortion.Planned Parenthood is alarmed.....as it interferes with their source of income but revert to their soundbites of choice and sex ed.... Another point is people are shocked because she was 7 mos. pregnant.

What is the difference between seven mos. and seven weeks pregnant....size, level of development and degree of dependence.

Note article written with a pro choice preference.....

Utah Governor Signs  Law Charging Women and Girls With Murder for Miscarriages

Critics are worried the law will open up a Pandora's box of unintended legal consequences.

March 9, 2010 

by Rose Alger/AlterNet |  

Monday afternoon, a controversial Utah bill that charges pregnant women and girls with murder for having miscarriages caused by "intentional or knowing" acts, was signed into law by Gov. Gary Herbert.
Contrary to media reports last week, the "Criminal Homicide and Abortion Amendments" or HB12, which previously also applied to miscarriages caused by "reckless" acts, was never "withdrawn" by its sponsor, Republican Representative Carl Wimmer (who is crafting similar "model legislation" for other states). After the governor expressed concern over "possible unintended consequences," of the legislation as written, Rep. Wimmer swiftly introduced a new version, titled "Criminal Homicide and Abortion Revisions" (HB462), which omitted the word "reckless." Gov. Herbert signed the new bill and vetoed the old one.
In a letter to legislative leaders on Monday, the governor wrote: "I appreciate the willingness of Representative Wimmer to reevaluate the impact of potential unintended consequences arising from the inclusion of 'reckless' behavior in HB12. HB 462 is more consistent with the true intent of the legislation and addresses those situations in which the termination of a pregnancy is intentional and is not conducted at a physician's direction."
Nevertheless, women’s and civil rights groups say the new, just-signed version of the bill is just as dangerous.
