This is Joshua

There is not much that we can tell you about him but he is a little baby who was aborted and probably left for dead. Life has no value in an abortion clinic and money speaks very loudly. Amid the blood, there is a tiny little baby and he looks so serene and peaceful. No doubt he felt pain and torture judging by the blood. No doubt there was no sympathy given to him as he died or was tory from his mother's womb and God only knows where he was found. He is dead because someone did not want him. Out there in the world there are millions of faceless babies who do not have a name or parents to look after them or want them or love them but Joshua can represent them all. Jesus will make it possible. Please if you can put his picture on your wall where everyone can see it and then when they ask, as they surely will, tell them about the others who are allowed do die and be murdered. Let the truth be known. Pictures of Joshua are available by contacting the houses of prayer.

Acceptable Ways to kill a child

The sheer horror of the abortion pictures is enough to say to anybody who see them that something is very, very wrong, something is being hidden somewhere, something is not talked about. There is something very sinister going on. There is a darkness surrounding the whole issue of abortion. Pro lifers are so discriminated against that they are only allowed to do certain things to fight against it. In reality, these things are so limited that the fight against abortion seems pointless, not that pro-lifers would ever stop. It seems that laws are made to block every avenue and it is rare that, if proceedings are taken in court, that a Pro life judge can be found to err on the side of the unborn child. Yet in law it says that we have a right to protest! Hospitals, too seem to be in on the darkness. we go into our hospitals to be healed, cured, mended and, in short, given a quality of life again. When we have recuperated and are made well, we are sent home. We are given tablets and pills that aid our recovery and they tell us to return in 'x' number of weeks so that they can monitor the healing process of the body. We are lucky. The hospital wards are geared towards our recovery; bright paint and curtains decorate them and cut out the once clinical and sterile world of, say, one hundred years ago. We ar encouraged by nurses of both sexes to get better and they provide the chat and the medicine that helps us. Provided, of course, that they have the resources in these days of health cuts.
While all this friendliness takes place, a few corridors away a woman has given consent to have her child killed that has never yet breathed. No kindness or friendly chat is given to the child for it is the enemy, the unwanted. The child is in the way of a career, is an accident, is a choice. The death sentence has been pronounced in friendly bright-curtained surroundings and so a date is made for the killing. The woman is wheeled down the corridor, chatted to, encouraged that she is doing the right thing,to a theatre that already smells of death. The child in her womb sucks its thumb innocently, not given any choice as to whether it wishes to live. The odds are stacked against it and it will know nothing until the salt begins to burn it, or its oxygen supply is cut off, or it feels the first bout of pain as its limbs are cut off to make it easier to remove. It knows nothing for it cannot be told, would not choose any of the ways, that are presented by the medical profession, to die, as none of us would.
Everything these days seems geared towards women's rights. While I agree whole heartedly that women should be equal, I do not agree they should be equal at the expense of a little baby. If a girl gets pregnant by a man, she can choose to have the abortion without his consent. The child is considered hers and not his. He has no rights to it, only if the woman allows. The influences of the world has charge, like a bull, at us and lucifer has gained everything that he needs to destroy the world. Jesus has told us that abortion is a blood sacrifice to lucifer. Through the millions of sacrifices that he has receive through abortion he can now influence those within the Church to go against god. We are seeing it before our very eyes! The removal of the Blessed Sacrament from the central place is just one example of this.

Surgical, and Medically induced abortions:

Induced abortion are performed in the first two months of pregnancy when the baby is about one inch long. Over 90% of abortions are performed during the first three months. They total about 1.2 million per year in the USA. About 140,000 second trimester abortions are performed per year; they represent 9% of the total. Third-trimester abortions: Medical intervention to terminate pregnancies during the third trimester is quite rare. The estimate for this is that 1% of all medical terminations of pregnancies are done at or after 21 weeks (1994 data). At this point, the physician and patient have only two reasonable medical options:
D&X abortions. (a.k.a PBAs): The cervix is dilated. The foetus is delivered feet first. Its brain is removed. This shrinks the foetal head, and kills the foetus. The foetus can then be removed with less damage to the woman. About 0.04% of all abortions involve a D&X procedure.
Hysterotomy: This is major surgery, essentially identical to a Caesarean Section. It involves significantly higher risk to a woman than a D&X.
Partial Birth Abortion: Description of the D&X procedure: These are generally called "D&X" procedures, an abbreviation of "dilate and extract", or "Intact D&E", or "Intrauterine Cranial Decompresssion abortions". The procedure is performed during the fifth month of pregnancy or later. The woman's cervix is dilated and the foetus is partially removed from the womb, feet first. The surgeon inserts a sharp object into the back of the foetus' head, removes it, and inserts a vacuum tube through which the brains are extracted. The head of the foetus contracts at this point and allows the foetus to be more easily removed from the womb. The exact number of D&Xs performed is impossible to estimate with accuracy. Many states do not have strict reporting regulations. Pro-life groups uncovered an internal memo by Planned Parenthood which estimated that up to 60 (0.24%) of the more than 25,000 abortions performed annually in Virginia were D&Xs. If this figure is accurate nationally, then there would be up to 2,880 D&X procedures per year in the U.S. Why are D&X Procedures Performed? This is a topic that is rarely discussed: 1st Trimester: D&Xs are not performed during the first three months of pregnancy, because there are better ways to perform abortions. Also, there is not need to follow a D&X procedure because the foetus' head is quite small at this stage of gestation and can be quite easily removed from the woman's uterus. 2nd Trimester: D&Xs are very rarely performed in the late second trimester at a time in the pregnancy before the foetus is viable. These, like most abortions, are performed for a variety of reasons, including: She is not ready to have a baby for whatever reason and has delayed her decision to have an abortion into the second trimester. As mentioned above, 90% of abortions are done in the first trimester. There are mental or physical health problems. The foetus has been found to be dead, badly malformed, or suffering from a very serious genetic defect. this is often only detectable late in the second trimester. 3rd Trimester: They are also performed in late pregnancy. The most common justifications at that time are: The foetus is dead. The foetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would place the woman's life in severe danger. The foetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would grievously damage the woman's health and/or disable her. The foetus is so malformed that it can never gain consciousness and will die shortly after birth. Many which fall into this category have developed hydrocephalus. In addition, some physicians violate their state Medical Association's regulations and perform elective D&X procedures - primarily on women who are suicidal depressed. There appears to be no reliable data available on how many D&X procedures are performed for each of the above reasons. The physician is faced with two main alternatives at this late point in pregnancy: a hysterotomy, which is similar to a Cesarean section, or a D&X procedure.

Abortion:

Abortion, termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by, the death of the foetus. Some abortions occur naturally because a foetus does not develop normally or because the mother has an injury or disorder that prevents her from carrying the pregnancy to term. This type of spontaneous abortion is commonly known as miscarriage. Other abortions are induced that is, intentionally brought on because a pregnancy is unwanted or presents a risk to a woman's health.

Abortion Methods :

Induced abortions are performed using one of several methods. The safest and most appropriate method is determined by the age of the foetus, or the length of the pregnancy, which is calculated from the beginning of the pregnant womans last menstrual period (LMP). Most pregnancies last an average of 39 to 40 weeks. This period is divided into three stages known as trimesters. The first trimester consists of the first 13 weeks, the second trimester spans weeks 14 to 24 and the third trimester lasts from 25th week to birth. Abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy are easier and safer to perform while abortions in the second and third trimesters require more complicated procedures and pose greater risks to a woman's health. In the United States, a pregnant woman's risk of death from a first-term abortion is less than 1 in 100,000. The risk increases by about 30 per cent with each week of pregnancy after 12 weeks. A variety of drug-based abortion methods may be carried out under a physician's supervision. In a method commonly referred to as the morning after pill, a woman is given large doses of oestrogen (a female hormone) within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse and again 12 hours later. Depending on where a woman is in her menstrual cycle at the time she takes the oestrogen, it will either inhibit or delay ovulation, or it may alter the uterine lining, preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. Typical side effects of the morning-after pill may include nausea, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness and fluid tension. Within the first seven weeks of pregnancy, a combination of two drugs can be given in pill form to abort a foetus. A pregnant woman first takes the drug mifepristone, also known as RU486, which blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain the pregnancy . about 48 hours later, she takes another drug called misprostol. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin (a hormone-like chemical produced by the body) that causes contractions of the uterus, the organ which the foetus develops. These uterine contractions expel the foetus. Misoprostol can also induce abortion when taken with methotrexate, the anticancer drug that interferes with cell division. A physician first injects a pregnant woman with methotreate. about a week later, the woman takes misoprostol to induce uterine contractions and expel the foetus. Both of these drug combinations effectively end pregnancy in 95 percent of the women who take them. Some women experience nausea, cramping, and bleeding. The most serious complications such as arrhythmia, oedema, and pneumonia, affect the heart and may cause death. In two procedures known as pre-emptive abortion and early uterine evacuation, a narrow tube called a cannula is inserted through the cervix (the opening to the uterus) into the uterus. The cannula is attached to a suction device, such as a syringe, and the contents of the uterus, including the foetus, are extracted. Pre-emptive abortion used s smaller cannula and is performed in the first four to six weeks of pregnancy. early uterine evacuation, which uses a slightly larger cannula, is performed in the first six to eight weeks of pregnancy. Both types of abortions typically require no anaesthesia and can be performed in a clinic or physician's office. The entire procedure lasts for only several minutes. In the pre-emptive abortions the most common complication is infection. Women who undergo early uterine evacuation may experience heavy bleeding for the first few days after the procedure. Vacuum aspiration is the procedure. Vacuum aspiration is the procedure used for abortions in the 6th to 14th week of pregnancy. It requires that the cervix be dilated, or enlarged, so a cannula can be inserted into the uterus. Progressively larger, tapered instruments called dilators may be used to dilate the cervix. During the procedure , the cannula is attached to an electrically powered pump that removes the contents of the uterus. In some cases, the lining of the uterus must also be scraped with a spoon-like tool called a curette to loosen and remove tissue. This procedure is referred to as curettage. Vacuum aspiration may require local anaesthesia and can be performed in a clinic or physician's office. Minor bruising or injuries to the cervix may occur when the cannula is inserted. Dilation and curettage (D&C), performed during the 6th to 16th week of pregnancy, involves dilating the cervix and then scraping the uterine lining with a curette to remove the contents. A D&C often requires general anaesthesia and must be performed in a clinic or hospital. Possible complications include a reaction to the anesthesia and cervical injuries. Since the development of vacuum aspiration, the use of D&C has declined. After the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, abortion becomes more difficult. One method that can be used during this period is dilation and evacuation (D&E), which requires greater dilation of the cervix than other methods. It also requires the use of suction, a large curette, and a grasping tool called forceps to remove the foetus. D&E is a complicated procedure because of the size of the foetus and the thinner walls of the uterus, which stretch to accommodate a growing foetus. Bleeding in the uterus often occurs. E&E must be performed under general anaesthesia in a clinic or hospital. It is typically used in the first weeks of the second trimester but can be performed up to the 24th week of pregnancy. An induction abortion can also be performed in the second trimester, usually between the 16th and 24th week of pregnancy. In this type of abortion a small amount of amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds the foetus, is withdrawn and replaced with another fluid. About 24 to 48 hours later, the uterus begins to contract and the foetus is expelled. When this method was first developed, physicians used a strong saline (salt) solution to abort the foetus; today they may also use solutions containing prostaglandins or pitocin, a synthetic form of a chemical produced by the pituitary gland that produces labour. Heavy bleeding, infection, an injuries to the cervix can occur. This procedure is performed in the hospital and reuqires a stay of one or more days. Abortions at the end of the second trimester and during the third trimester require major surgery. Two such late-term procedures include hysterectomy and intact dilation and extraction. In hysterotomy, the uterus is cut open and the foetus is remove surgically in an operation similar to a cesarean section, but a hysterotomy requires a stay of one or more days. Abortions at the end of the second trimester and during the third trimester require major surgery. Two such late-term procedures include hysterotomy and intact dilation and extraction. In hysterotomy, the uterus is cut open and the foetus is removed surgically in an operation similar to a cesarean section, but a hysterotomy requires a smaller incision. Hysterotomy is a major abdominal surgery performed under general anaesthesia. Intact dilation and extraction, also referred to as a partial birth abortion, consists of partially removing the foetus from the uterus through the vaginal canal, feet first and using suction to remove the brain and spinal fluid from the skull. The skull is then collapsed to allow complete removal of the foetus from the uterus.
