Nicole's Other Notes

For my tenth vlog I decided to do something special. I didn’t want just another “what I did today” vlog. So, I took the first step in my newest projects and I called the abortion clinic- something I hope to never do again.

For a few minutes I put myself into the shoes of a pregnant 16yr old girl. I chose 16, because for my best friend’s 16th birthday a few years back I took her to get her ears pierced, and they wouldn’t let her with out a parent present. That got me thinking, why can girls get abortions with out their parents knowing, but for a minor to get her ears pierced or a tan there has to be parental consent? To be fair, our state does have some rules on needing parental consent, but it is easy to get around and our state is much stricter with their abortion rules, compared to more liberal states.

I knew about the rules and how to get around them, so the first thing I did was ask about the judicial by-pass. She gave me a phone number and after that I would have been cleared to abort with out my parents.

I then asked about the procedure. I picked 18 weeks for a few reasons. Mainly, this picture

Most abortions take place between 8-12 weeks into the pregnancy. (That is 2-4 months along)

A few facts about an 8-12week old baby in the womb:

8-12 weeks old- 

* The length of 8 cm (3.2 inches).
* The face is well formed
* The eyelids close and will not reopen until about the 28th week.
* Tooth buds, which will form the baby teeth, appear.
* The limbs are long and thin.
* The baby can make a fist with its fingers.
* Red blood cells are produced in the liver.

* The baby develops fingernails and eyelashes

(Keep in mind that the brain was formed at 6 weeks, and the heart began beating after only 18 days.)

The latest you can get an abortion at this clinic is 22weeks. (That’s just our state: other states let you abort up until delivery.) Premature babies have been born and survived at this age.

This is a 22week old baby that was aborted, burned by the saline.

Gianna Jessen was a survivor of a failed saline abortion, and her testimony is incredible. I recommend looking her up on youtube.

When describing the procedure, she made it sound like a very pleasant and easy thing, and even told me it was safer than natural birth. Wrong. 100% of abortions end in death-Death of the precious and innocent baby. However, abortion has also been linked to infertility, breast cancer, multiple other health problems, and cases of botched abortions that lead to the mother’s death. (Not to mention the emotional side of killing your baby.)

To give you an idea of how trained these abortion workers are in their lingo, when she said abortion was safer than childbirth, she called the baby a “fully grown fetus.” Who sends out birth announcements saying, “It’s a fully grown fetus girl!” Or baby showers take place while the baby is in the womb, so why don’t we call them “fetus showers?” If a baby, when it is born, is considered to be a fully-grown fetus, then at what point does it get to be a human and not a scientific term?

When I asked for alternative options she put me on hold ten minutes and then returned to give me the number to Planned Parenthood. (In other words, they don’t offer any other options.)

It’s going to be a long road ahead, trying to get the clinic closed down, but I do think it will start by informing and educating, [Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:”] as well as continued prayer.
