Dr. Bernard Nathanson talks about abortion stigma

Former abortionist turned pro-lifer Dr. Bernard Nathanson talks about the stigma and the negative responses of other doctors when he became an abortionist:

“I was publicly identified with a cause which in the past had been associated with the stereotypes of failed, defrocked doctors or the filthy old women in grimy kitchens or hotel rooms. Through in the radicalism of the late ‘60s abortion was crossing over into acceptability, I felt that I was being eyed with the same circumspection as one who had come down with active TB.”

Mary Kenny Abortion: The Whole Story (London: Quartet Books, 1986) 194

There is still stigma today within the medical community towards abortionists.

Former abortion worker: no patient walks out with a smile

From former abortion clinic worker Jackie:

“It didn’t matter how confident they were when they walked in, I can’t recall a single patient that walked in with a smile on her face and walked out with a smile. They come in confident or they come in devastated, they go in the procedure room and then they go into a recovery area for about an hour, so when they walk out it’s just varying degrees of quiet sobbing to complete hysteria. We have to give them sedatives and oxygen masks. It’s very evident on their face and in their body that they lost something.”

Midwife and student watch baby born alive after abortion die

From a European report on babies born alive after abortions.

Midwife M.J. tells her story. She and a male nursing student were handed white sheets rolled like a ball and told to check for instruments. They discovered, however, that inside was a baby still breathing.

We opened the sheet, removed all the compresses and discovered a lot of clotted blood: we discovered within the blood, a mass, that was a fetus, and he was still breathing. We were shocked.

It all felt so frigid! The nursing student and I talked and agreed to say that he was alive and that we had to do something immediately. So, we wiped and washed the little body and wrapped him in a “cloth diaper.”

We delicately placed him on the tray and covered him. I do not know what his gestational age was, but he was a boy and his members were well formed. Another nurse arrived, and she saw us near the fetus. She said we did well and we took this opportunity to question her:

“What happened to the mother? “She did what she had to do to abort and lost a lot of blood by expelling the fetus. She is now in the operating room and it is unclear if she will make it!” My colleague and I stayed near the fetus who was breathing heavily with increasing spaces between each breathe. It felt like time had stopped. We were there to look at him, this little living being, talking to him and stroking his little body through the drape for 45 minutes at least. … He finally stopped breathing and we left him on his tray.

American Journal of Psychiatry on abortion

From a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry:

“Negative emotional response [to abortion] involving guilt, sadness and regret” is seen by some psychiatrists as a “part of the normal spectrum of response to abortion.”

It’s true that this is an old reference, but there is more recent research to back it up.

Pro-Choice slogans didn’t bring comfort

From one post-abortion woman:

“Although pro-choice slogans gave me the courage to choose abortion, there was no comfort for the pain, suffering, and confusion that followed. I was faced with the harsh reality that I had done something horrible and that it could not be undone.”

Datos y fotos sobre el Aborto durante las 4 o 5 semanas de embarazo

A las 4-5 semanas de embarazo, se puede provocar un aborto con una pildora o atraves de succion. (aqui informacion sobre el aborto por pildora embarazo http://www.embarazoinesperado.com/pastillas-aborto.htm) Esta pajina habla sobre el aborto atraves de cirugia. El aborto por succion es usualmente el procedimiento mas usado en este periodo del embarazo. Durante este procedimiento, primero se dilate el cuello uterino de la mujer, despues se injecta nestesico en la vagina, y finalmente se introduce una canula de succion que succiona al embrion y a la placenta. Despues el utero es raspado para remover cualquier materia que quede. Los proveedores de abortos les llaman “productos de la concepción.” La canula de succion arranca las partes del embrion o lo succiona entero y despues este muere en la botella de sangre.

Los riesgos de un aborto a las 4 o 5 semanas son los misos riesgos de un aborto hecho mas tarde en el primer trimestre.

-Infeccion

-daño al cuello uterino que puede resultar en aborto espontáneo de un embarazo mas tarde

-cicatrizes en la matriz que pueden prevenir un futuro embarazo

-Perforacion o corte de la pared uterina o cuello uterino que puede ser leve o severo

-depresion o sentimiento de culpa a causa del aborto

Un ultrasonido es recomendado para comprobar si usted tiene una condicion potencialmente fatal llamada embarazo ectopico. En este tipo de embarazo, el bebe se forma en las trompas de Falopio. Si usted tiene esta condicion y tiene un aborto, el embrion no sera removido. En su lugar, el embrion sequira creciendo en las trompas, que terminaran por rasgarse. Esto puede causar hemorragia fatal.

La única manera de descartar un embarazo ectópico es a través de un ultrasonido. Si la clínica de aborto que usted llama no proporciona ultrasonidos antes de su aborto, considere ir a otro lugar. Un lugar donde usted puede obtener un ultrasonido libre es un centro de embarazo de crisis. Recuerde, si la clínica de aborto hace ultrasonidos antes del aborto, la clínica le cobrará, Mientras que un ultrasonido en un centro de embarazo de crisis es gratuito. (aqui puede localizer un centro http://www.embarazoinesperado.com/red.htm)

Estos centros son atendidos por voluntarios que tratan con mujeres que tienen embarazos difíciles y están considerando el aborto. Algunos centros, como el (red de cuidado http://optionline.org/?lang=es) (solo en EE.UU) esta Religiosamente afiliados. (centro de patrimonio http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide-directory) (internacional) no lo estan. Cualquier tipo de centro le dará información sobre el aborto ya sea por píldora o por cirugía, información que no puede obtener en la clínica de aborto. Tenga en cuenta que las clínicas de aborto sólo existen porque venden abortos. Incluso si el personal allí es bien-significado, pueden solamente permanecer en negocio si hacen bastante beneficio. En Planned Parenthood, el aborto representa un tercio de sus ingresos anuales. Las clínicas independientes de aborto dependen de la venta de abortos para mantenerse abiertas. Sus médicos y gerentes reciben un alto salario por abortos. De alguna manera, acudir a una clínica de aborto para pedir consejo es como preguntarle a un concesionario de Subaro si debe comprar un Subaro o un Ford. Lo más probable es que presenten el aborto de una manera positiva. A veces es mejor obtener tantas perspectivas como sea posible, por lo que ir a un centro de embarazo de crisis puede ser una buena opción a considerar. Los centros de embarazo en crisis son atendidos por voluntarios. Todos sus servicios son gratuitos. Son organizaciones benéficas que dependen de las donaciones de los partidarios, no del dinero de los que van allí. Por lo tanto, no tienen interés financiero en la decisión que toman. Algunos activistas pro-elección han dicho que los centros del embarazo se crean para disuadir a las mujeres de tener abortos. Esto es sólo parcialmente cierto. Las mujeres de estas clínicas son voluntarias y algunas de ellas tienen una mentalidad antiaborto. Sin embargo, respetarán su decisión. Ir a centros de embarazo no significa que no pueda tener un aborto más tarde. Nadie puede impedirle tener un aborto si decide hacerlo.

El embrion

Esta es una imagen de un embrión a las 5 semanas

Está empezando a adquirir una forma humana.

A continuación se muestra una imagen de un embrión a las 4 semanas. Usted puede ver el desarrollo de la columna vertebral.

Aquí hay alguna información sobre cómo se desarrollan estos embriones. Esta línea de tiempo de desarrollo fetal traza el crecimiento de un embrión desde la concepción hacia adelante.

Día 20 (menos de un mes): Fundaciones del cerebro, médula espinal y sistema nervioso ya están establecidas.

Día 21: El corazón comienza a latir http://es.ehd.org/playlist-movies.php?list=2

Día 28 (4 semanas de edad): El hueso de la espalda y los músculos se están formando. Brazos, piernas, ojos y oídos han comenzado a mostrar.

Día 30: A 1 mes (4 semanas) de edad, el embrión es 10,000 veces mayor que el huevo fertilizado original – y se desarrolla rápidamente. El corazón está bombeando cantidades crecientes de sangre a través del sistema circulatorio. La placenta forma una barrera única que mantiene la sangre de la madre separada mientras que permite que el alimento y el oxígeno pasen a través al embrión.

Día 35 (5 semanas): 5 dedos se pueden discernir en la mano. Los ojos se oscurecen cuando se produce pigmento.

Día 42 (fin de la 5ª semana): Las ondas cerebrales pueden ser detectadas y registradas http://es.ehd.org/movies.php?mov_id=33

La base para cada sistema de órganos ya está establecida y comienza a desarrollarse.

El hecho de que el bebé no se vea completamente humano no significa que no sea uno. De hecho, al referirse al embrión como “él” es inexacto, el sexo se determina en la concepción. Por lo tanto, un embrión ya es macho o hembra. Él o ella puede no parecer un bebé a término, pero tampoco un bebé a término parece un adulto. A medida que pasamos por la vida, nuestra apariencia cambia.

La decisión de tener un aborto es en última instancia depende de usted. Pero tenga en cuenta que el aborto destruye una vida que ya ha comenzado. Detiene el latido de un corazón. Destruye un cuerpo en desarrollo, el cuerpo del bebé. Y puede ser perjudicial para su vida y su salud. A pesar de que las muertes por abortos quirúrgicos temprano son extremadamente raras, una infección todavía puede ser grave. Los abortos por píldora han causado más de 14 muertes en los Estados Unidos solamente.

A continuación se muestra una imagen de la inyección de anestesia después de la dilatación del cuello uterino. Las piernas de la mujer están borrosas.

Abortion “devastated us” says woman

From one woman who had an abortion:

“Abortion seemed the most rational decision in the world. We had three children, no money and elderly parents to help. We are not religious and I believe very much in the woman’s right to choose. But it devastated us. We were full of grief.”

Doctor tells intern to strangle baby if he’s born alive after abortion

In a report on live births after abortion by the Eurpean Centre for Law and Justice, one doctor says:

At the guard in the delivery room, a woman was in labor as part of an abortion on medical grounds at 5 months pregnant. The birth was imminent, and the gynecology interns were prepared. The senior gynecologist of the guard who is about to return to her bed, approaches the interns and said in a low voice, but loud enough for me to hear: “If the child is breathing on arrival, you press hard here on the trachea [airway] until it completely stops breathing,” and turning to me: “And you, you did not hear anything.
