This freeper says we should end miscarriage!

[Sapere aude]

To: madprof98
Both sides should get behind a "save the unborn" movement, if we all decided to end miscarriage, like we eradicated smallpox or polio. An estimated 1/4 to 1/3 of the preborns are aborted spontaneously..that's 1-2 million preborn babies a year! We wouldn't stand idly by if a million children a year died of a new strand of smallpox.

Part of the indifference to the abortion issue stems from our disregard of human life before birth in general.

Am I missing something? I didn't know miscarriage is a disease that we can find a cure for.

[elehhhhna]

1. let's just end pregnancy altogether

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. "every sperm is sacred!, Every sperm is great. . . ."

[elehhhhna]

20. Ya know if we women would just go away life for the Reeps would be soooooo

much easier.

[ClintonTyree]

32. No,no, no.....they need women

as long as they stay in their place that is. They believe a woman's place is in the home, waiting on their man like god commanded. Women are "the lesser vessel" you see, or so sayeth the bible anyway. As long as you know your place, don't get uppity and leave politics to the menfolk, everything will be just fine with them. Oh, and don;t forget the sex, whenever and wherever they want it. Stand by your man, you know? :sarcasm:

[smirkymonkey]

39. Hear, hear.

I think there are enough people in the world already.

Sterilization for everyone!!

[NanceGreggs]

2. Yeah, it is ...

... just like 'natural causes'. When is someone going to find a cure for that?

[acmavm]

3. Hon, you really don't expect intelligence and logic from those people,

do you?

[Sapere aude]

7. No, but they are good for a laugh from time to time.

[ClintonTyree]

33. There's a blow to the theory of "intelligent design".....

if I ever read one. This guy hasn't got a clue. I seriously doubt he knows how babies are made.

[northofdenali]

35. They are the perfect argument

against "intelligent design".

Any god stupid enough to design these idiots could never create an Einstein.

[patdem]

4. maybe if we just tie women's legs together as soon as we know

she is pregnant...could that help?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

41. Strap every pregnant woman into a bed in ICU with 24 hour surveillance

and let her spend 9 months in an intensive care unit, being forced fed and carried to the potty. And only let her see religious broadcasting on the hospital television, in the hope of influencing the unborn fetus.

[Lost-in-FL]

5. So we should jail females for having "spontaneous abortion"?

What a dumb ass... erradicate miscarriages :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I wonder how this individual get to actually type on a keyboard. What an idiot!:dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

[KitchenWitch]

The lack of logic astounds me

I forget the percentage, but an extremely high percentage of fetuses which are spontaneously aborted (read miscarried) are not viable in the first place, like they are missing critical organs, etc.

[Mutley]

6. Save for injuries which cause miscarriages...

there is usually a reason why the body will abort a fetus -- there is something horribly wrong with it, or there is something horribly wrong with the mother, among many other things. I don't think it would even be possible to "end all miscarriages", but if it were, I don't think it would be a good idea.

[SmokingJacket]

8. I would guess that's ironic....

maybe an infiltrating DUer? I know there are many of us...

On second thought... the use of the phrase "strand of smallpox" is really dumb. Maybe this person is just actually dumb.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. I bet that Freeper is really a DUer

deliberately yanking their chains.:rofl:

If you believe that human life and personhood begin at conception, then you have to admit that miscarriage and failure to implant in the uterine lining are the leading causes of human mortality, dwarfing everything else. The person is maybe just pointing out their hypocrisy and selective outrage.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. I'm missing something as well. First, it's closer to 2/3' s of all

fertilized human eggs are 'spontneously aborted'. And second, 30,000 children die every 24 hours around the world and we stand 'idly by'.

[ccpup]

11. Yeah,

you're missing that obvious Idiot Gene that most Freepers were born with. Unlike miscarriage, there IS a way to stave off the embarrassing ramifications of this odd genetic mutation that causes one to drag one's knuckles, breathe with one's mouth open and makes it almost impossible to post something that doesn't start with one thinking you're an idiot and finish with them thinking that you definitely need to wear a safety helmet, knee and elbow pads, and a name tag -- complete with emergency contact number -- when you leave home. It's called Honest Information, not to be found in our MSM and certainly not at Free(ptard)republic!

So, yes, you're missing something, but thank your lucky stars. :-)

[Kerrytravelers]

37. Welcome to DU ccpup!

Great post! :hi:

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Repeal the Law of Gravity

It's oppressive!! It prevents man from flying!! People should be free to fly!!

[NoPasaran]

14. What's next? The "Holocaust of the unconceived?"

Maybe I shouldn't be giving them any ideas!

[Tsiyu]

19. Tee hee yeah stop it now

:rofl:

[Tsiyu]

15. My god, these people are warped

There is a reason NATURE aborts 80% of fetuses, you dumbfuck. Not to give you a safe cause to rally against (what are you going to do, lock women up and force bedrest on any woman of childbearing age having hetero sex you STUPID TWIT?)

Nature knows if you're tanked, or have bad genetic code, the fetus was exposed to pollutants, blah, blah, blah that that will be a fetus that will not survive.

You can take all the heroic measures you want, but you are messing with a system that will end up kicking your ass. A lot of deformed, diseased neonates will live a few days on the greatest medical technology we can offer and then die and leave you with a bill that will completely bankrupt this nation.

But that IS what these fruitcakes are all about, so I expect that forced bedrest to start any day now.

[sui generis]

16. he probably wouldn't be alive if we had ended miscarriage

his good twin would have eaten him in the womb.

[acmavm]

22. Oh, I was thinking you mean that the baby died and the afterbirth

survived.

[sui generis]

27. damn you're good!

;)

[Lost-in-FL]

28. Now that's mean...

but I like it!! :toast:

[sutz12]

17. Ending miscarriages would be a great idea...

most of those babies might just be wanted by the parents who suffer through that horrendous ordeal. The question, of course, is how? I fear the answer would not involve a lot of praying and such, but would have to involve nasty things like science and modern medicine.

It is always so black and white to those people. If you're not fer us, yer agin' us. Let's all pray. Maybe we can run the whole damn thing back to the fourteenth century or so.

[Minnesota Libra]

18. I would have loved someone to tell me how......

....to prevent my four miscarriages. What is a woman to do when her body just can't physically carry the baby?? Neocons are just f***** up!!!

[Lost-in-FL]

21. Check this on out...

To: madprof98

"Does a God of love and life ever support war? Does such a God understand that some innocent civilians will die when we fight to protect our freedoms? In other words, does God approve when we make the decision to kill other people to protect our quality of life?"

If this guy ever picked up an Bible and read it, he would know the answer to these questions!



And that answer to that would be???? My bad... of course... because our prophet George W Bush was told by an angel to go attack Iraq and kill al Muslims.

[Coexist]

23. are we women, then, to turn in our used tampons

to hunt for the sacred discarded ova?

Someone else can head up the Ministry of Tampax, I have better things to do!

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I think, perhaps, ziggygrey may just not be a Freeper and is pulling

one over on them. You know, how we get "extreme liberal" trolls? I think ziggygrey may be "extreme Freep" troll. :hi:

[GoneOffShore]

25. I read the editorial that preceded the post

I was amazed that they put it up in its entirety. The responses are incredible. (I only go there occasionally.)

How do they even post on that thing?

The interface is appalling.

I guess it just goes with their mentality.

[MasonJar]

26. Most spontaneous miscarriages are Nature's way of stopping

misformed fetuses from getting born.

[mandyky]

29. Miscarriage is nature's way of saying oops

this won't work - either the embryo is not forming properly or the host (mother) won't be able to carry it to term. I guess if the freepers want to bring a bunch of severely ill/deformed babies into the world, ending this would be good. However, these same freepers don't believe in WIC, medical care for all or welfare, and that has a big effect on mother and baby - diet and general health.

[Justice Is Comin]

30. That idiot

should get a job in a hospital putting wheels on miscarriages.

[Ilsa]

47. I love that response. Thanks. Made me LOL at a serious topic. nt

[Kerrytravelers]

31. What can I possibly say to such stupidity but...

:eyes: :crazy: :silly: :wtf: :argh: :freak: :spank: :wow: :scared: :thumbsdown: :shrug: :banghead: :blush: :hide: :eyes: :crazy: :silly: :wtf: :argh: :freak: :spank: :wow: :scared: :thumbsdown: :shrug: :banghead: :blush: :hide: :eyes: :crazy: :silly: :wtf: :argh: :freak: :spank: :wow: :scared: :thumbsdown: :shrug: :banghead: :blush: :hide: :eyes: :crazy: :silly: :wtf: :argh: :freak: :spank: :wow: :scared: :thumbsdown: :shrug: :banghead: :blush: :hide:


Yep. That pretty much says exactly how I feel.

[johnnie]

34. So now they are trying to tell "God" what to do?

Interesting.

[northofdenali]

36. Throw some chlorine into the freep gene pool.

Then add muriatic acid.

[cpamomfromtexas]

38. Most American women do not produce enough Progesterone

Estrogen and estrogenic compounds (from pollution and various products we actually use on our bodies and the environment) cause estrogen dominance and inhibit our bodies abilities to produce enough progesterone.

This lack of progesterone (and the synthetic crap doctors put women on doesn't help) causes many health problems in women, and is the number one cause of miscarriage and infertility and a myriad of other scary health problems.

Don't hold your breath for the government to do anything healthy for us. They only thing they care about big business profits and the more they crap the environment up and pad big pharma's wallets, the better.

As for me, I'm stocking natural soy based progesterone cream- I'm sure those bastards will try to limit this too. They are already trying to limit pharmacies selling bio-identical hormones (same as are produced in the body).

[DemGirl7]

40. OMG....What a Retard.....n/t

[Iniquitous Bunny]

42. What about the hundreds of millions of spermatazoa that perish...

every time a man ejaculates. They're mini-babies! The humanity. :cry: Somebody hold me please. :grouphug:

[The Flaming Red Head]

43. a friend of mine miscarried in ER waiting room of a public hospital

Universal health care for everyone would help. (or socialized medicine as though morons call it)

Dumb prick.

[NastyRiffraff]

44. How about deciding to end premature ejaculation?

Oh, that's right....you don't mess with MEN's bodies.

But think of all the innocent sperm, dying....dying. :cry:

[WoodrowFan]

45. well...

Would improving access to prenatal care help reduce the number of miscarriages? If so, then that'd be a worthy goal. Though it'd require the dreaded "socialized medicine" that freepers have nightmares about!

[Ilsa]

48. Probably not these really early ones, which are believed to be

due to genetic malformations; the pregnancy couldn't make a viable baby no matter what.
Early prenatal care mostly involves getting a list of dos and don'ts. There isn't that much that can be done unless they know that a woman has alot of miscarriages, and then they check for progesterone levels, etc.

[geniph]

46. Sure, let's get all in a tizzy about the "preborn"

and not trouble our beautiful minds thinking about the thousands about thousands of children - already-born, living children - who starve to death or die of preventable diseases every frigging week.

Once they're born, who gives a shit, eh?

[Ilsa]

49. I rue the day I took that home pregnancy test.

I found out I was pregnant one day before I miscarried at 5 1/2 weeks. If I had waited one more day, I would have figured it was a bad period. I felt bad about hte loss, but didn't feel like I would if I had lost one of my children or mate.

Is there anyone on that board that is pro-choice?

[dflprincess]

50. My eldest niece had the same experience late last summer

She knew she was pregnant for nearly a month and miscarried around the 7th or 8th week. Her doctor did run a genetic test on the fetal material and they found a defect that is always fatal to the fetus. Nothing she necessarily has to worry about in the future (spontaneous mutation), but her doctor did say this is the curse of home pregnacy tests. Once upon a time she could have just assumed she was having a late, miserable period. She said she was disappointed when it happened but she knew many early miscarriages were because of problems.

She's pregnant again and is about 15 weeks along now, so things are looking good.

[Ilsa]

54. Congrats to her! Yeah, the next one took for me about

six months later. Another beautiful baby boy.

I swear, we'd had about two weeks of 110+ degree weather here in south tx when I miscarried. It wouldnt surprise me that it had an effect, somehow, on what was going on.

Yeah, it is usually only after having multiple miscarriages that they run tests. They didn't even bother to offer with mine. I saw it, BTW, a very small mass, including the thick mucus around it the size of a pea. It wasn't a baby. It was cells sloughing away that were not going to become a baby.

[Swamp Rat]

51. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Talking monkeys. :rofl:

[HeeBGBz]

52. Such ignorance.

Methinks madprof98 should have his dick tied in a knot. That's one step towards avoiding any sexual encounters lest this idiot decide to breed.

[depakid]

53. LOL

Welp, as annoying as the occasional science illiteracy is on DU, I've never heard anything quite like that!
