After-birth Abortion, Journal of Medical Ethics

This originated on my Facebook page...I moved it here for safer keeping.

OK... READY TO GET SICK??

An article appeared in the Journal of Medical Ethics (Published Online First 23 February 2012) wherein two doctors make the ethical argument IN FAVOR of "After Birth Abortion." After birth abortion has been quietly discussed for years by those who started Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion advocacy groups since the early days of Margaret Sanger. I have seen other articles proposing that parents should have the choice to kill their children up to age eight or ten.

This is the first time I have seen anything in a medical journal openly supporting child murder. Admittedly, I have not been keeping up on the medical issues as much as I did in the past so it is likely this is not the first such publication proffering the objective. There should be no surprise though since those who support abortion also support a society without a sense of personal responsibility. This article has been cited in a couple of editorials in left wing magazines. The writers of those editorials are mad at the pro-life advocates for commenting on their editorials! How stupid can you be!

So...

From The Article: we propose to call this practice ‘after-birth abortion’, rather than ‘infanticide’, to emphasise [their spelling] that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus (on which ‘abortions’ in the traditional sense are performed) rather than to that of a child. Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk. Accordingly, a second terminological specification is that we call such a practice ‘after-birth abortion’ rather than ‘euthanasia’ because the best interest of the one who dies is not necessarily the primary criterion for the choice, contrary to what happens in the case of euthanasia.

More FTA: CONCLUSION If criteria such as the costs (social, psychological, economic) for the potential parents are good enough reasons for having an abortion even when the fetus is healthy, if the moral status of the newborn is the same as that of the infant and if neither has any moral value by virtue of being a potential person, then the same reasons which justify abortion should also justify the killing of the potential person when it is at the stage of a newborn.

Antibiotics and Mental Illness

For many years gastric/peptic ulcers were assumed to be caused by too much stomach acid and were treated with antacids, bland food or surgery. Then in 1982 it was noted that 80% or more of such ulcers were associated with a spiral bacterium named Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It was also noted that certain antibiotics resolved the ulcers. The medical "establishment" ridiculed the finding, as they do almost every paradigm shifting break through in medicine. (Dr. Werner Forsmann and cardiac catheterization, Louis Pasteur and germ theory, to name just two.) Now the vast majority of such ulcers are treated with antibiotics.

From my studies over the last several years I am becoming more convinced every day that many, perhaps most, human maladies have a bacterial or viral origin. Chlamydia pneumoniae is commonly found in coronary artery disease. Bacteria that cause tooth decay can also cause extensive heart valve damage. Lyme spirochetes may present a wide range of symptoms from psychosis, arthritis, extreme sensitivities to normally benign environmental conditions, skin rashes and itching, liver problems and dozens more depending on where the little bugs accumulate. Even cancers are now being associated with viruses. These ideas are poo-poohed by many doctors. They have to be dragged kicking and screaming into modern medical science. (If they didn't learn it in medical school it does not exist! Don't get me started on that subject!)

Now it looks like bacterial infection, viruses, spirochetes or prions cause or contribute to many mental illnesses. This includes major depression, bipolar disorder and even schizophrenia! There have been several case studies where schizophrenic psychosis was resolved during antibiotic treatment for diseases like pneumonia only to return after the antibiotic was withdrawn. Restarting the antibiotic resolves the psychosis again! 

There are problems with the treatment of brain infections. Getting antibiotics across the blood-brain barrier is difficult. More research needs to occur into the issues of treating brain infections. Apparently any insult to certain structures in the brain can trigger mental illnesses. The insult may be genetic, infection, impact (including closed head trauma, PTSD induced cortisol overabundance, etc.) chemical damage (i.e. drugs, petroleum, pesticides, herbicides such as Agent Orange. etc.) or any other event that causes abnormalities in the brain structures

Microbes and mental illness is becoming a worldwide study, much to the chagrin of many in the "medical establishment!" If I were to prognosticate on the subject I would predict that soon many cases of mental illness will be treated with antibiotics or antivirals.

On Roe v Wade and January 22

I got yelled at when I posted this on FaceBook but dammit, I rejoice in my kids life and I mourn for the millions that have died! I have three wonderful kids! They are all special!

I can't understand how supposedly rational people can be ok with babies having their brains sucked out of their skull or being cut to pieces by the abortuary "doctor."

Today marks the anniversary of two momentous events in American and, yes, world history! On January 22, 1977 my daughter was born! She was a sweetheart as a child. Smart, active, loving and a wonder and treasure to live with. Just like her sister and brother, she was the light in my eye and the joy in my life! As a teenager she was a challenge but she never failed to light up a room with her smile and that silly giggle! She is now a successful woman with a masters degree in mental health counseling. I am so proud of her I nearly burst with pride that I am her father.

The other event occurred four years earlier on January 22, 1973. On that date the United States Supreme Court joined Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, and Mao's Red China in ordering the murder of countless millions of innocent lives. On that date the court violated their oath of office and usurped the authority of the Constitution and the States by their ruling in Roe v Wade. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao must be green with envy at the success of the United States in killing innocence! It is as black a day in history as anything Hitler could have ever dreamed! Fifty-five million babies have been shredded, chopped up, vacuum suctioned, poisoned with salt or had their brains sucked out of their tiny heads. Their only sin was to be conceived by heartless people. That is fifty-five million doctors, concert pianists, mothers, fathers, grocery clerks, college students, poets, grandkids, or race car drivers. Fifty-five million lives snuffed out at the altar of something called a woman's right to choose. Something tells me that those fifty-five million little human beings would not have "chosen" to be murdered.

As you see the celebrations on tv of Roe v Wade think about the fifty-five million dead. Then think of my Daughter. Rejoice with me in her life. Today, enjoy your children, grand children and friends be happy in their lives but remember in your heart those victims of Roe v Wade.
