Here is the latest attack on the unborn. The “Early Pregnancy Care” project.
The purpose of this experiment? “Demonstrate the role of advanced practice clinicians in expanding early pregnancy care.”
In the pilot project, approved in 2006 without legislative oversight, Planned Parenthood sites in three CA cities suspended state regulations to use Nurse Midwives, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants to perform surgical abortions by suction aspiration.
… [T]the program sponsor at the University of CA admits that the goal of the pilot project is to expand abortion practice and access, “particularly in underserved areas.”…
As noted on Jill Stanek’s site “underserved” means “minorities.” Planned Parenthood’s “Negro Project” is more inclusive now by adding other minorities.
I imagine one of the reasons doing this is that for some odd reason doctors are not rushing to become abortionists. A couple of years ago PBS investigated what they saw as a problem the steady decline in the number of physicians and clinics performing abortions. So no doubt they will be trying to push this as something that can be done by someone other than a doctor. Yes the same people that freak if an ultrasound machine is not being operated by a doctor have not problem with this.
Once again the culture of death resorts to lying language to advance their agenda. Remember the cloning banning bill in Missouri that actually legalized it? It was fronted as a bill to ban cloning, but actually redefined cloning to not include “clone and kill.” Now we have pregnancy care to now mean performing an abortion. This is beyond Orwellian an just plain Molochina.

I guess they mean “taking CARE of unwanted PREGNANCY.”
I’m just beyond speechless. Pregnancy is not a sickness that you need “taken care of” in that way. You know, there are actual problems related to pregnancy care in the US. A c-section rate in excess of 30% is harmful to women. Our maternal and neonatal mortality rates are disgraceful. But why help make childbirth safer and children healthier when you can just opt out of the whole business entirely?
The abortion clinic near our house is called “Women’s Care.” More appropriate would be “Women Scare.”
Moving the back alley abortionist into the front hall with a vengeance.
Johanna Holmes-
if I may digress a bit–
it’s awful hard to know if our maternal and neonatal death rates are to be ashamed of or not, because of the trouble getting consistent information; my sister lost her child before most women would have known for sure that they were pregnant. Reporting problems when a death is known are another problem.
Back to topic– I still think a huge number of abortion clinics would be shut down if they were required to follow the same level of medical practice requirements as any other clinic.
Not just because they’d have trouble keeping “doctors” qualified if good records were kept to associate the deaths of adult women to abortions.
My dear Johanna,
You can opt out, so to speak, but what a sham that is. You only opt in to greater problems: higher risk of breast cancer, premature birth, infertility, depression, and alcoholism, all of which take a great toll on an already-collapsing economy and health-care system…
Those dang Catholics turn out to always be so practically right in the end.
Of course, that COULDN’T be the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If I believed that, I’d have to give up my condoms.
