Abortion the Cheap and Easy Way

When slightly knowledgeable people think of early-term abortion methods, they typically think of a vacuum cutterage machine that purees an unborn child like a strawberry fruit smoothie before the bloody mixture is vacuumed out. However, the pureeing part is often not necessary. Newborn infants are well-known for having soft bodies and even soft heads. In the early stages of pregnancy, an unborn baby is so soft that he can simply be sucked through a tube. The power of the suction alone will tear apart and crush the child, like putting a new baby on top of a pool drain. And a cheap, handheld device used to abort unborn children this way is becoming increasingly popular in the United States—despite never being certified as safe.
Electric vacuum aspiration machines exist for this purpose, but so do the cheaper manual vacuum aspirators (MVAs). MVAs are cheap and easy to use, making them popular for use in the Third World. They are small, light, and require little maintenance and no electricity. What better device to use for eliminating children in the remote villages and rural areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America? You don’t even need a doctor. Plus, instead of having the proceeds go to some Communist Chinese manufacturer, they often go to our very own, North Carolina-based Ipas, an offshoot of Planned Parenthood that is a leading maker of MVAs.
“Because the technology is low-cost and does not require electricity, for example, its use can help make post-abortion care and safe legal abortion available in community-based health care settings, including in remote areas,” Ipas itself says. “MVA [manual vacuum aspiration] can be performed as an outpatient procedure, without the need for operating-room facilities, by physicians or by trained nurses, midwives, nurse practitioners and other midlevel providers. These qualities help reduce delays women often face in obtaining needed care, which contribute to poor health outcomes.
”MVAs aren’t used just in the Third World, but in the United States as well. Says Ipas, “Many providers find MVA particularly suitable for very early abortion (before 7 weeks since the woman’s last menstrual period) because its gentle yet effective suction allows for significantly less disruption of the products of conception than typically occurs with electric vacuum aspiration, making it easier to confirm pregnancy termination.” That means the baby’s body parts are more readily identifiable because they are left more intact than after electric aspiration or cutterage. (Please note: You, dear reader, are a product of conception.)
In fact, MVA prevalence in America is on the rise. “Its use in the United States and other industrialized countries is increasing as providers recognize the benefits this low-technology technique offers even in sophisticated health care settings,” says Ipas. [Entire Article]
My Comments:
I debated whether or not to post this article because it is so graphic, but this is the reality that is going on in our society today and I believe that all people should be made aware of this reality and the intensity of the evil of abortion. This is what we are doing to our children today -- sucking them up in vacuum tubes which tears them apart and crushes their skull and skeletons, and soft, supple bodies. If mothers were told truthfully what an abortion was, would they really want to do it? Would they want to have this gruesome procedure done to the life growing in their wombs? Would they want this intrusive instrument of death invading their bodies and damaging their own organs, their psyche, their very souls? But how do we motivate them to listen to the truth, to accept and respect life, to learn that each one of is created in the image and likeness of God? How can we encourage others to treat their bodies as something sacred and life as a beautiful gift from God instead of something to be sucked up through a vacuum tube and conveniently disposed of? These are questions I pray about daily and look to God for guidance and direction. If we do nothing, then we how can we expect things to change? The small ways in which each of us shares the truth with our children, our family, our friends, our community, and society can make such an immense difference. I can't help but think of Mother Teresa's own words: "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." Leaders are too busy playing politics -- we must open up our hearts to others before it is too late.
