‘Safe abortion’ guidelines issued
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a second edition of “Safe abortion: technical and policy guidance for health systems.” This document is updated from the original 2003 publication and runs 134 pages.
The new document details various methods of killing unborn children and the very best way, as recommended by WHO, to kill them.
“It is a horrific read,” stated Scott Fischbach, Executive Director of MCCL Global Outreach. “Following these guidelines will assuredly kill women and their unborn children, especially in developing nations. Some of the recommendations, WHO admits, are based on very low evidence. They are truly reckless and deadly.”
One such recommendation is for a pregnant woman after 12 weeks gestation to self-abort by taking up to five vaginal doses of misoprostol to induce uterine contractions. For a woman who lives in an area without adequate health care to follow this recommendation is simply irresponsible. It is impossible to predict all of the dreadful complications the woman could suffer.
The guidelines include four main topics: estimates on unsafe abortion worldwide, the latest clinical recommendations to perform abortions, recommendations for “scaling up” services, and advice on policymaking and legislation. The last of the four areas is not one usually found in medical advice documents, but WHO stresses the application of a “human rights framework” to advance pro-abortion policy making and legislation — especially for young women.
Through the years WHO has done good work for millions of people to protect, advance and enrich their lives, but these deadly guidelines to advance and promote abortion take the organization in the exact opposite direction.
“The solution to illegal abortions and high maternal mortality rates is very simple: provide a clean water supply, clean blood supply and adequate health care,” Fischbach added. “Statistics confirm that these save women’s lives — not the legalization of abortion.”
MCCL GO is a pro-life global outreach program of the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life Education Fund with one goal: to save as many innocent lives as possible from the destruction of abortion.
