Planned Parenthood saved my life. Went in for an abortion (was on birth control that failed, so it was a double whammy), found out it was Trophoblastic disease (no embryo, only placenta-like tissue that can go cancerous)... Without the PP, I would have endured a wait three weeks for a Dr appt, and anything pregnancy related is pretty f'n urgent. If trophoblastic tissue gets migrates from uterus to liver or brains, no amount of chemo will help. After the procedure, the doctor asked if I would consider donating the tissue; there a couple forms of trophoblastic disease, and by having a pathologist go over it, they could tell me which one it was. I consented. I'm still okay with that donation. The more we can understand something, the better, and with how ignorant America is by large, regarding reproduction and it's various topics, the better the reason to support scientific inquiry.

That said, there's something that I don't get about the whole harvesting abortion for parts or rituals. The embryo is tiny in the first trimester. Second trimester abortions are iffy, and the vast major practitioners aren't gung-ho for them due to increased bloodflow to the area and risk of hemorrhage. And even then, the fetus is pretty small. Third trimester abortions are rare, despite all the publicity about them. If a woman has endured 6+ months of pregnancy, odds are she wanted that baby (or was guilted into carrying to term because people feel the need to make people do what they want)...

So to me, it makes more sense to guilt women into giving birth and then surrendering the infants to those who want to "help," rather than part out placenta and embryos for ritual use. The system they have in place requires it; if women at large are allowed to plan their pregnancies, then they deprive the military complex a bunch of boots on the ground and sound cannon fodder. They want women producing babies and staying in poverty because it makes them easier to control when you can leverage their children against them (hello CPS)

We are literally cattle to them.

Time to stampede.
