Liberal Symmetry

Well, the cause of RU-486/mifepristone-related deaths has been known for a year. Mifepristone induces abortion by blocking progesterone and stopping pregnancy. A second dose is needed to induce contractions.

The cause of death in mifepristone cases is Clostridium sordellii, a deadly bacteria. C. sordellii has been detected in some, but not all, of the bodies of women who have died as a result of taking mifepristone. What I didn’t know was:

• Some women who died from C. sordellii never took mifespristone. These women died after a live birth (Cesearean and vaginal), medical abortion, and C. sordellii was present in one woman’s menstrual blood. These bacteria-related deaths may suggest they have their origin in hospitals. Although, C. sordellii can “be present in women’s intestinal and rectal areas and cause no symptoms whatsoever.”
• My chances of surviving mifepristone are better than surviving a live birth. (Link)
• Mifepristone is being researched to treat endometriosis and several cancers.

Now for the part of my post that made me laugh. Abort73 is one of the better pro-life websites I’ve come across. Be aware that when you click on the link a graphic movie automatically runs. This is Abort73’s message board. Teri, a pro-life woman writes:

I was raped when I was in my teens and I had a 3rd trimester abortion that was performed by George Tiller in Wichita, KS. I have since realized what a horrible mistake I made. I have detailed my experience on my website: Tiller Patient Speaks.

Having that abortion did not un-rape me & it made my innocent son pay for his father’s crime.

One pro-choice “Guest” noticed a discrepency in Teri’s line of thinking (edited for puncutation and spelling):

Interesting, your hatred against Muslims, how you call for executing them without trial.

Do you know Muslim women do get unintentionally pregnant too, and eventually do have abortions too? I guess you are perfectly okay with abortion if the mother is Muslim. Do you know in the USA lives approx. 5 million Muslims? So you would restrict abortions only for American non-Muslims?

And I forgot liberals; you hate them too, right? And perhaps you hate niggers, chinks and kikes too, right?

So basically only close-minded, brainwashed, Republican Christians should be restricted from having abortions, and all other people can keep their freedom?

Teri apparently had an attack of the conscience because I cannot match Guest’s allegations to Teri’s website. But in a follow-up post, Teri doesn’t deny Guest’s charges and rejoins Guest with a show-stopping:

Whatever. You are obviously an idiot & until you live in America & experience a day like 9/11, then have your father shipped off to fight some [bullshit] war, I really could care less what you have to say. End of story.

Uh, apparently Teri, you did care enough about Guest’s accusations to polish up your website by removing politically incorrect content. And God bless you for it, dear. Good Christian soldiers won’t get very far in the abortion debate if they wear their bigotry on their sleeves.
