Some Considerations The Supreme Court Needs To Deal With In Determining The Future Of Abortions in America 3

The political left regards supporting historically sexual practices as repugnant and immoral and feel sexual deviancy should be normalized and such behavior protected as a human right. The political left even champions the right of people to engage in practices such as gay and lesbian lifestyles, changing their birth gender to the opposite sex known as transgenderism, pedophilia, bestiality and more. Sexuality they believe must be taught to children as early as kindergarten so they will not grow up to reject all forms of sexual deviancy as a unnormal behavior. Historic religious and moral behavior is passe'. No one, even parents, should not be allowed to interfere with what consenting people, even innocent children, feel compelled to do sexually. Abortion is different for sure but is related to the political left's obsession with unsafe and even unhealthy sexual practices they irresponsibly promote. Such activities do much to degrade the morals of our nation's population into embracing a hedonistic no-morals society with no sexually related behavior standards which a civil, responsible and sane society needs to have.  Don't believe me check out these links.   A message from parents to schools -- stop sexualizing our kids | Fox News  ;  The Failure of Sex Education - 94.10 (theatlantic.com)  ; For good reasons it looks as if transgenderism is beginning to lose its luster.    Texas Considers Prosecuting Child Sex Change Operations as Child Abuse - American Action News
 
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2008), the definition of promiscuity is the “miscellaneous mingling or selection of persons (or things)”, and by ‘miscellaneous’ it is meant “consisting of diverse or various things or subjects”. By sexual promiscuity, therefore, one generally refers to a person who randomly selects various partners for sexual activities. In wikipedia (2008), it reads, simply: “having casual sexual partners at will”.  As previously noted the political left has long sought to lower sexual norms to the level now fitting the definition just cited. That drift into hedonism has fawned inappropriate sexual behavior as being acceptable. Even normal. No longer is sex between married partners the accepted standard. Couples wishing to have children and a mutually enjoyable sexual relationship is old fashioned. Hence, the rise in out of wedlock pregnancies by people not having protected sex. By not engaging in protected sex abortions have skyrocketed notwithstanding the plethora of prophylactics available. That irresponsible behavior leads to far too many abortions being used as a prophylactic. As previously noted that is good for the Abortion industry. But, not good for society or the murdered babies.  


It is a fact that far too many abortions have tragic consequences for the patient undergoing the procedure. Human Life International published an article on August 11, 2021 entitled The Risks of Abortions. In part it states this: " The pro-abortion movement has gone to great lengths to downplay the risks of abortion to the mother, but these risks are very real. This article will examine some of the common consequences of abortion. As we shall see, aside from always resulting in a dead baby, abortions are also dangerous to the mother.  [...] We have all heard abortion stories—like Abby Johnson’s—of women given little-to-no aid after their abortions. In his book Abortion Practices, prolific late-term abortionist Dr. Warren Hern once admitted: “In medical practice, there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential hazards as abortion. It is a commonly held view that complications are inevitable.”1

     Not much has changed since his admission. Women are often injured, as Operation Rescue repeatedly documents. And women still suffer both short-term and long-term effects. In a 2019 amicus curiae brief, former abortion providers Dr. Kathi Aultman, Carol Everett, Dr. Anthony Levatino, and Dr. Beverly McMillan testified in Louisiana to the need for abortion doctors to have hospital admitting privileges. They testified because they understand the frequent dangers to the mothers—dangers that are exacerbated when the abortionist cannot or will not send mothers to the hospital after something has gone wrong. [...]  In addition to the risks to the health of the mother, there is also the risk of death. According to Raymond Adamek, who has researched and written about this subject: The most recent (November 27, 2020) Abortion Surveillance report by the CDC, covering 45 years from 1973 through 2017, indicates that, out of 519 maternal deaths, 86.1% resulted from legal abortion, 11% from illegal abortion, and 2.9% from abortions whose legal status was unknown."

     The last section of the article provides a listing of the nine risks when having an abortion with a short summary of each. They are: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Placenta Privia, Ectopic Pregnancies, Cervical Lacerations, Uterine Perforation, Breast Cancer, Infertility and Future Childbearing, Psychological Risks and Healing and Forgiveness."     Risks of Abortion [Updated for 2022] (hli.org)


More could be covered but this will help us better understand the extent of the issues now before the Supreme Court. Let's hope they reach the right decision. Share this note if you agree with its contents.
