Elective Abortion

Question: How many people know that most states you can get an elective abortion at 7 months pregnant? And does anyone care to know how they kill the fetus and that they have found it a scientific fact that the fetus feels pain at 20 weeks conservatively and that thousands upon thousands of babies have been killed many weeks after they began feeling sensation? Nice hah. You tell me those abortionists aren't phuking murderers. go ahead and report away murder advocating M effers. Kat, is that your hope? Is that something you tell yourself to make everything all better, or is that something based in evidence? IF so, I'd like your proof. Wishful thinking passed as basic knowledge shows YOUR ignorance dear. They keep records on this stuff, and the evidence speaks contrary to your lala land. Look in your phone book where they ALL advertise openly they perform up to 24-28 weeks. That's some sick sht. Yeah. Nice how they were constantly leaving the babies for dead, cold and alone in a bucket...before Bush had to pass the Infants Born Alive protection act after all the nurses and staff were ratting the clinics and hospitals out because it was SUCH a common practice to leave a baby to die, cold in a pan. Sick fks. No babe. The scientific data states they feel pain at 20 weeks. Go look it up for yourself. The abortion institutions are touting the 28 magic mark because it's in their best interest. The 28 weeks wasn't a set limit based on any fetal rights, hun. That was a mark when they said it wouldn't survive on it's own, and even THAT'S a lie since viability is a changing thing with scientific advancement. Now whatchgot. Yeah Sean, well guess what, lots of German babies were killed during WWII--was it worth it?, I'm not saying the Iraq war is justified, I was always against it. But where is your argument going? It's ok for you to kill babies because babies sometimes get killed in "conservative" wars? I thought DEMOCRATS voted for the war as well?! Now whatchagot.

Answer: you completely ruined your argument with your last edited comment.. shows your ignorance.. yes most states you can... however most doctors will not morally perform them unless it is absolutely necessary.. and then they actually try to save the baby.. if it can live on it's own

Question: Would an abortion be considered an elective surgical procedure? In most cases it's not an emergency, most doctors don't consider pregnancy an "illness". The medical situation will resolve itself with a little time, since a pregnancy only lasts 9 months. So would an abortion be an elective surgical procedure?

Answer: Good point. As an elective surgery, it wouldn't be covered in most insurance plans. Surely, the govt. plan does not include electives in its coverage.

Question: How do you code a complete elective abortion due to maternal rubella using ICD-9?

Answer: Well, first you would have to code the elective abortion using 635.2 Legal Elective Abortion, Complete. And then I would think you would need a separate code for the maternal rubella, like: 655.3 Suspected damage to fetus from viral disease in the mother, or 760.2 Maternal infections Coding is not my specialty, but that is my best guess.

Question: Is asking taxpayers to pay for elective abortions as Obama intends ethical? One provision of the Freedom of Choice Act that Obama promised to sign into law as his first act as president is to fund elective abortions with taxpayer money. Is this ethical as many people including the vice president Biden consider abortion a type of ending of an innocent life.

Answer: The bill says nothing about funding -- it just lifts restrictions on abortions before fetal viability. If you had read it, you would know that. Here it is in case anyone would care to: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c1…

Question: Why is abortion legal and elective up until a woman is 7 months pregnant?The fetus feels pain around 20 weeks? So how on earth could that be legal? How could someone kill it for a living? Why does no one even care? Does anyone know about fetology and abortion procedure? It's horrifying! I can say OK. a woman's choice up until even, at most 11 weeks. But 7 MONTHS pregnant and perfectly elective!!!?? The baby is kicking around, feeling his body, sucking his thumb, actually living in there, and can feel in the second trimester! Then someone just comes in and dismembers it and let's it bleed to death? That's disgusting and murder!

Answer: I am all for pro choice However, I do agree that it is wrong to kill a fetus after the first trimester...Except, maybe for special circumstances that would endanger the mothers life... but people look at it from many different views it is still not born, and breathing. It is not murder in the eyes of the law....and I think maybe u need to study fetology yourself alittle bit more closely,,,abortions are not just now happening they have been around for a very long time and what people need to understand is that even if the law changes abortion will not go away it will always happen. So if the law changes it would only force woman to go to illegal terms to get a abortion and have dirty instruments used on them. If they outlawed abortion then even those who were raped would not be allowed to have a abortion because there is no one justification for one woman over the other, it is the right to choose what is best for our bodies.

Question: Does Biden agree that tax payers should pay for elective abortions as Obama intends with FOCA? Bidem says he is perosnally opposed to abortion and Obama wants to not only make the full range up to partial birth abortion legal. So does Biden agree with Obama that it is good policy to have taxpayers pay for elective abortions.

Answer: Mary Alice you are so sorely misinformed. Obama intends to over turn every law that has been in place to protect the life of the innocent and those who are morally opposed to abortion. He also has stated that he feels that to supply aid to a child born as a result of an attempted abortion is in "essence undermining what the woman intended". Google it. the FOCA will do just that. I also am aware of the title x law and that planned parenthood is funded by tax dollars, to that, I am so angry.How dare the government use the money I pay for someone elses so called CHOICE. Health insurance companys also pay for abortions as mandated by law if they are fully funded. I think personnaly that Biden opposes most of what Obama wants to do but if it means getting in office and the history books well then like any good Democrate, he keeps his mouth shut.

Question: Where can I get an elective abortion other than a clinic or planned parenthood? I am 9 weeks pregnant, and since finding out I was pregnant, my boyfriend of four years has been terribly emotionally/verbally abusive, and started to threaten me physically. Last week I moved out, and would like to terminate the pregnancy. I have been to my OB/gyn twice already, I have an appointment next week. Can OB/GYNs refer me to another doctor who provides elective abortion services? I do not wish to go to a clinic. Can my doctor help point me in the right direction? Or does anyone know if private practices and hospitals perform abortions? Well thats why I was planning on talking to my doctor also, to ask to be referred for some sort of counseling as well, its a lot to deal with emotionally. I just am not sure if a regular OB/GYN can help point me in the right direction for termination?

Answer: Don't make such a big decision out of anger or frustration.

Question: Will those proudly complicit in abortion enter the kingdom of heaven? By "complicit in abortion," I mean women who have had elective abortions and anyone who has paid for elective abortions, counseled women to have elective abortions, argued publicly for elective abortion, or voted for political candidates or supported political parties pledged to elective abortion. By "proudly" I mean those who have not repented or offered penance for complicity in elective abortion. Quite a few people, probably a majority, are complicit in abortion in one or more of these ways, including many of my relatives. Will they be welcomed into heaven?

Answer: Absolutely not. It's a mortal sin, and being complicit in an abortion=automatic excommunication because it's such a huge sin! To not repent from this heinous crime.... Well, anyone who does it and is unrepentant about it dies with a mortal sin on their soul. St. Catherine of Siena even had a vision of abortionists and those who had been part of an abortion burning in Hell. I'm glad I've never been complicit in abortion under any of your definitions, and I never will be.

Question: So an abortion is just a medical procedure? Even though the vast majority of women who have sex do so electively, enough without precaution, doesn't that mean they've already chosen, with the possibility that the end result is a baby? I thought healthcare meant treatment of illness and disease and preventative diagnostic care. Is therefore, an elective abortion treating a 'disease'? Clearly not. So, why define it as a medical procedure? It sure 'cures' a problem, though not a medical one. Illtrix, if nobody stands up for the rights of the unborn, their battle is lost. Grow some self-restraint and responsibility and this problem goes away. To the 4th poster down, you're very wrong. A fetal heartbeat is detectable in the 1st trimester. I witnessed my own daugther's. That's a life. Period. Illtrix, your D & C analogy is a convenient medical 'cover'. I make this issue my business because I care. If nobody stood up for blacks, would the Civil Rights movement have gone anywhere? At least they had a voice. Babies don't, but by your logic, people who are against something de facto should "mind their own business". Vegas - did you read the detail? It says "MOST" - I'm excluding rape victims in this analysis.

Answer: I think it's pretty clear that the drawn and quartered fetus is it's own body and should therefore be able to decide what happens to it. I've seen video of fetuses trying to escape the forceps. The only thing I can compare to that is seeing that journalist get his head cut off.

Question: how many weeks can you have an abortion until? How many weeks can you have an abortion until, without a medical reason? I guess I'm trying to say, an elective abortion? I would need to get it done in Connecticut or New York, or Maine or the part of Canada next to Maine. Please help. Thanks. I have only been in Maine 2 weeks for school and I don't know which province of Canada I live next to, SORRY.

Answer: In Pa it is up to 24 weeks with no medical reason. You would have to call a clinic in your state to see what your laws are. NY is 24 weeks ME is 14 weeks CT is 15 weeks
