Newly Proposed Legislation Forcing Doctors to Become Destroyers

Madison, WI, September 6 (CNA).-Newly proposed legislation in Wisconsin could force doctors to act against their conscience and give emergency contraception to rape victims, says Pro-Life Wisconsin.

This is more than just bad medicine if these bills are passed. A "medication" with such serious side effects should never be solely the decision of the woman. It would be medically unethical for a doctor to prescribe this to a woman - any woman - to begin with, as it has the potential to destroy the lives of both the woman and her baby.

No doctor in his/her right mind possessing an ounce of morals would prescribe this "medication" for a woman. First of all, the MAP is a megadose of synthetic estrogen and progesterone hormones and we all know that megadoses of hormones are very dangerous. Even low to medium doses of estrogen have been linked to breast cancer (which is why the majority of OB/GYN's are no longer prescribing it for their patients.) If lower doses of estrogen have been proven to be harmful to women, just think how much more harmful megadoses are. High doses of estrogen routinely produce cramps, nausea, vomiting; often serious--even life-threatening--side effects occur with the morning after pill: blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.

Calling the morning after pill "contraception" is totally misleading: While it can have a contraceptive effect, most of the literature on it confirms that it is more likely to act as an abortifacient if fertilization has taken place.

Those individuals who dare to call themselves physicians (who have taken the Hippocratic oath) after prescribing this lethal "medication" should honestly come out and reveal what they really are - "destroyers of human life."

How many Dr's would want to put up this shingle?

Let's let our pro-life physicians act according to their own consciences and not according to a set of destructive laws imposed upon them by the culture of death.

    First, your health care in this country is dictated by insurance companies, then by know-nothing lawmakers. When are people going to be able to receive quality health care based upon their health needs that does not violate their consciences nor force physicians to pracitice in a manner that is unethical?

    The majority of people in this country still value life. Those who don't should not engage in activity that results in reproduction.

    I think it is outrageous that a Dr. would be forced into prescribing this death pill for women. What are these lawmakers thinking? What makes them think they are God?

    A doctor - patient relationship is a partnership and just like all doctors don't perform abortions, not all doctors will want to prescribe this pill.

    Thank God there are still some doctors left with a conscience!

    Why do people spend all this time and money to get an education, pass the exam just for a medical practice? Insurance companies (and their accountants especially at HMO's) tell the physician what he may not do, an now no-nothing politicians tell the doctor what he must do. I think the education a doctor receives is just a waste of money. Why not just do away with doctors completely?

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the...

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the...

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as h...
