Plenty of women who seek abortions have their intimate medical details released to the press, with the full consent and enthusiasm of progressives. Those are women who were unable to procure abortions and died as a result, or who went to Catholic hospitals to give birth and died.

Bridgette Dunlap and Petula Dvorak would have us believe that privacy hinges on whether or not the women actually obtained the abortion, or whether the medical practitioner wanted to perform an abortion. That is wrong. If the women whose recent deaths have been exploited to advance a pro-abortion cause can be named in the media, then women whose deaths highlight the dangers of legal abortions may also be discussed.

Apparently the media abortion lobby has decided to adopt the Dunlap “privacy” argument to cloud the issue of the practices of the Carhart clinic.

Just as the whole Fluke push for free birth control was sold to young women as “being in control of their own bodies,” as if their legs had just been spreading on their own all this time.

All the left can do at this point in history is change the subject, but they are practiced at it. Which is why we are arguing about Chuck Hagel and immigration and gun control instead of noting the rotten economy and skyrocketing prices of gas and health insurance – or that the Norks and Iranians will soon have the capacity to hit us with nuclear missiles.

I just love it when I get “dislikes”. I’m disappointed with myself if I don’t. LOL!

Can you name a single instance in which an adult who died as a result of a botched medical procedure never had his name released to the public?

Can you determine that the Morbelli family does not consent to the release of her name?

By the way, if you click on Stacy’s link to my blog, I referenced two women whose names were released to the public after they died in childbirth; even the name of the toddler daughter of one of those women was released. (Bet you didn’t expect that!)

The seven women below are just a small representation of the countless women who have died because they did not have access to safe and legal abortions. Most of these women died before Roe v. Wade offered them a safe alternative. However, women continue to die and suffer injury due to current restrictions that particularly affect young women and poor women.

Our government is now controlled by conservative leaders who are extremely hostile to women’s reproductive rights. If more retsictions on abortion are enacted, and especially if Roe v. Wade is overturned, this list of lives cut short could grow to include our daughters, sisters, mothers, best friends, wives, partners, granddaughters and other special women and girls…”
NOW doesn’t consider Obama conservative, but it does consider the readers of the website to be ignorant. It’s a good bet.

OKAY, I fixed it.

Here’s the deal… I used to be more accepting of the “choice” side of the abortion argument. The main reason why I could accept it was that, back then, abortions were still fairly rare, and I seriously doubted women would come to see abortion as a slightly more inconvenient form of birth control.

It made no sense that that should happen. It was unthinkable that women could be so moved.

But over a few measly decades, abortion has become a holocaust in the inner cities. They are no longer rare. They are probably more common than weddings and bar mitzvahs combined.

So here is what I’d say to the people who produced that page at the NOW website:
=======================

I tell you what, I’ll just stupidly accept whatever number of women you claim were killed, maimed, injured, harmed, …hell I’ll even throw in inconvenienced, for good measure. Go back thirty years, include them all.

That will make it a really big number, right?

Now compare that to the number of abortions over that same time period.

Sorry, but the dead babies win, by a huge factor.

All unfounded allegations. If you are aware of some covered entity that failed to abide by HIPPA strictures then name names and file a qui tam complaint.

Otherwise you are just posing.

As per above, protestors are not covered entities. Hank is full of s—.

Ms. Fay, is it arguable that HIPAA even applies, since abortion clinics are not considered medical facilities when it comes to meeting standards of cleanliness and so on that real hospitals and medical facilities are required to meet? I’m not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV, but I’m curious, and curious if HIPPA applies if the abortionist does not have to meet AMA requirements for licensing, peer review in the event of unforeseen death, or other standards governining the medical profession?

Thank you.
