Women gives birth after NHS nurses send her home from hospital
From the UK Telegraph. (H/T Secondhand Smoke via ECM)
Excerpt:
It was a bitterly cold night in January when Geraldine Weller gave birth in the car park of a London hospital. Three hours earlier, the maternity unit had sent her away. Midwives who said they were short-staffed had confidently told her that it would be “ages yet” before she went into labour. They maintained that view even as her husband made frantic phone calls, reporting from their Surrey home that the baby’s head could now be seen.
In desperation, the couple ignored advice to stay put and drove back to the hospital. With her husband shouting into the security cameras of the maternity unit for help, Mrs Weller stepped from the passenger seat. As she did so, she gave birth to their first child, catching the newborn in one leg of her pyjamas.
She says: “We just huddled together. My husband came back and wrapped Henry in a bath towel, and finally one of the nurses came out and said: ‘What’s this?’ ”
[…]Last month, a survey of 25,000 women who had children in England last winter found that more than one in five was left alone during childbirth at a point when it worried them.
The rest of the article features eyewitness comments from midwives working within the system. Naturally, no real names were used because the NHS sanctions anyone who speaks out against their government-run health care system. The same kind of government-run health care that the Democrats want in this country.

Analyzing four bad arguments in favor of abortion rights
The post is here.(H/T Rational Theism)
Excerpt:
As a bioethics student, I’ve encountered several challenging arguments in favor of abortion. In my research on the subject, there have been several authors who’ve forced me to think about the issue more deeply and to sharpen my arguments against it.
But there are also some pretty bad arguments out there. In popular-level discussions about abortion, you’ll often hear pro-choice advocates use arguments that completely miss the point and that show a lack of familiarity with the arguments on the pro-life side. In this post, I want to point out four such arguments and show how they’re really nothing more than red herrings.
- The first bad argument for abortion is the idea that you can be personally against it, but you shouldn’t force your beliefs on others.
- The second bad argument for abortion is that a woman can do whatever she wants with her body.
- A third bad argument is that it’s a women’s issue, so men have no right to tell a woman that she can’t have an abortion.
- The last bad argument for abortion is that it should be legal because women will keep having abortions even if it’s not, and we should at least ensure that they will have them in safe environments (instead of in back alleys with rusty equipment).
