If Abortion Is ‘Health Care’ Why Did Planned Parenthood Sue To Let Non-Doctors Administer Them?

How many times have we heard the phrase ‘reproductive health care’ kicked around by the left?

If this really was about women’s health and not about profiting off of the fears of pregnant women, shouldn’t the people who even want your barber to be credentialed insist that only the most highly-trained medical professionals be permitted to perform such a delicate procedure?

After all, nobody wants a repeat of the abortion slaughterhouse Kermit Gosnell set up that was every bit as unsanitary and dangerous to pregnant women as the apocryphal ‘back alley coat-hanger abortions’ that led to the Roe decision in the first place.

And yet, Planned Parenthood just won a case in Alaska where they sued for the right for NON-DOCTORS to perform abortions.

Why is this a dangerous precedent? Because there’s a lot that can go wrong in any invasive medical procedure… and that risk only goes higher when you have someone with inferior medical training.

Under this ruling, non-physicians can now commit chemical abortions, as well as surgical aspiration abortions (both most commonly used in the first trimester). Despite the claim that this is a necessary ruling for women, it actually puts them at increased risk.

A 2013 study from the Ryan Residency abortion training program at the University of California San Francisco, abortions committed by non-physicians are more likely to end in complications than those committed by physicians. With aspiration abortions, the most common complication was incomplete abortions, meaning parts of the preborn baby were left inside the mother’s body. This can lead to life-threatening infection and death. The abortion pill likewise has been found to be four times more dangerous than first trimester surgical abortions, and increases in its rate of incomplete abortions as gestation progresses. — LifeSite

So… Planned Parenthood fought a court case that actually made life more dangerous for their clients?

In an election that has so much to say about the ‘rights of women’ this seems like it could be a relevant issue, doesn’t it?

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.

Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.

This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
