Wait! Only The Baby Was Supposed To Die!

-
I sometimes wonder how the "women's rights" groups (NOW, NARAL, Planned Parenthood) can look at themselves in the mirror.

I just can't understand why it is an important "right" for all women and young girls to have immediate access to methods of killing their unborn children. Why do they want them to hurry so... is it now the "right to choose quickly"? Whatsamatter... afraid they'll change their mind? Why is it so bad if they do?

When we find out that simply making girls wait one day before killing their babies results in many of them KEEPING their babies, the "women's rights" groups are not happy at all. (See this post)

Then, when some sick SOB invented a way to kill babies with a pill, the "women's rights" groups were ecstatic. So much so that they worked and worked to make it as easy to get as aspirin... you know... so they could "choose" even more quickly. (Now see this post)

Now, when we have the mother's dying along with the babies, these "women's rights" groups are nowhere to be found.

As usual, Michelle Malkin brings it home to us:

[[ Health officials are investigating whether there are any links in the cases of four California women — at least two in Los Angeles County — who have died since 2003 of massive infection after taking the so-called abortion pill, RU-486, and a follow-up drug.

RU-486, prescribed under the brand name Mifeprex, was approved by the FDA in 2000 over the strong objections of many abortion opponents. In recent weeks, opponents of the RU-486 regimen have renewed their call for the passage of Holly's Law, which would take the drug off the market in the U.S., arguing that there is no way it can be administered without risk.

The proposed legislation was named after 18-year-old Holly Patterson of Livermore, Calif., the first U.S. woman to die of infection after a nonsurgical abortion in 2003. The procedure is often called a medical abortion... ]] (Link to LA Times article)

Way back in 2003, Michelle was on the case:

[[ Planned Parenthood's outspoken activists remain stone-cold silent about Holly Patterson. She's the teenager who died of tragic complications from taking the abortion drug cocktail RU-486, which she obtained from a northern California Planned Parenthood clinic in September. Holly and her unborn child suffered a painful, bloody and prolonged death.

Patterson was seven weeks pregnant when she received the chemical abortion regimen. After seven days and two desperate trips to a hospital emergency room seeking help for intense cramping and bleeding, she succumbed to "septic shock, due to endomyometritis (inflammation) due to therapeutic, drug-induced abortion," according to an Alameda County coroner's report. The silence of the abortion lobby speaks volumes:

Ho-hum. Just one (sic) more innocent casualty in pursuit of the almighty "right to choose." Nothing to see here. Move along... ]] (LINK to Michelle's column)

Go figure...
