A Young Woman's Personal Story of a Miscarriage


I came across a sad but well written personal account by a young woman who had a miscarriage. She wrote of her feelings of abandonment and her questioning of why had God allowed this.

She does not share her gruesome details of the event itself but the circumstances suggest it happened at home in a bathroom. She is fortunate she does not live in a state with draconian laws against abortion and that it happened before anti abortion activists are successful in banning all abortions. She would be faced with the investigation I have talked about here. 

First would be the question of how she disposed of the fetus. One can assume most of the time an early fetus is flushed down the stool. If there were a law, as has been attempted in at least one state, to require a "funeral" for the fetus she would be in violation. One woman was successfully prosecuted for something called "improper disposal of human remains." This would have to apply to all miscarriages if it applied to all physician or medical induced abortions.

In an anti abortion state or nation she would have to prove she did not have an abortion. Since she admitted she knew she was pregnant she may well have visited a doctor. In a anti abortion state/nation we can assume the doctor would have reported this to law enforcement. This would have to be done because law enforce is charged with providing safety for all citizens. The fertilized cell becomes a citizen in the religion of anti abortion. A missing citizen triggers an investigation.

We don't yet know which level of law enforcement would be assigned the duty of investigating this missing person. If her doctor were in one state and she in another the logical answer would be a federal agency. The FBI is such an agency. If all parties were in state it might be either state or local officials.

An investigation would involve questions about the unfortunate woman's interest or knowledge of abortion. Did she belong to an abortion rights group? Had she visited any sites that provided information on how to do home abortions? To confirm her answers her phone or computer would need to be examined. 

Am I speculating on these requirements? Not if history gives us insight into the future. The measures I have predicted have all be proposed by some anti abortion groups and have been carried out by some local law enforcement personnel.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
