Wade, abortion clinic bombings, the March for Life, and the most divisive issue ever to hit the U.S. Congress, ancient (and archaic) medical doctors had their own (often barbaric) ideas about how to perform the ever-controversial abortion. Check out our gallery of 6 of the most primitive and absurd methods used during ancient times to terminate an unwanted pregnancy: Post from: BlissTree 6 Ill-Conceived Abortion Methods From Ancient Times: A Photo Gallery (Source: Healthbolt) Healthbolt blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3914938 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:46:28 +0100 3914938 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3676635&cid=t_153392_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Ffilm-review-christy-turlington-tackles-womens-health-issues-with-no-woman-no-cry-documentary%2F This post originally appeared on our sister site TheGloss, and was written by TheGloss Editor-in-Chief Lilit Marcus. During the opening sequence of her documentary No Woman No Cry, Christy Turlington admits that she’s led a pretty charmed life, but something happened the day that she gave birth to her daughter and there were complications: “I went from invincible to powerless.” Though Turlington got medical care and both she and her daughter were fine, she realized how fortunate she was to have access to quality maternity care. The experience sent her on a new kind of journey, not only of motherhood but of a mission to learn about maternal health around the world and try to raise awareness about women’s health issues. Her travels took her from Bangladesh to Guatemal...

That’s not the language NPR uses in other such cases. In 415 NPR stories on abortion, I found only one reference to “abortion advocates,” in 2005. There are far more references, hundreds more, to “abortion rights,” “reproductive rights,” and “women’s rights.” And certainly abortion-rights advocates would insist that they are not “abortion advocates,” they are advocates for the right of women to choose whether or not to have an abortion. NPR grants them the respect of characterizing them the way t...

Pro-choice groups are up in arms. After all, says NARAL Pro-Choice America, “In the current insurance marketplace, private plans can choose whether to cover abortion care—and most do.” If Congress enacts subs...
