    So Planned Parenthood propaganda is now being published by Popular Science. Good to know.

    • Retired Ob Gyn

      As a recently retired Ob Gyn (who did not perform abortions), I can confirm that the video is factually correct in all aspects of the biology of pregnancy. Because these are not “alternative facts” or “fake news” it is therefore it is NOT propaganda.

    Popular Science thinks it is a common “misconception” that birth control is 100 percent effective? That is not Popular Scence; that is Popular Asshattery. I have never known anyone who thought birth control is 100 percent effective.

    *Votes up:* Those for the murder of innocent life in the womb, who willingly ignore the factual science that proves these days more than ever that life begins at conception, who willingly lie to themselves and others that videos like this one from Popsci are more scientific fraud and thus pro-serial-baby-murder than anything else and that those who vote it up are those who shall by their choice enter the eternal Lake of Fire after death to deserve unimaginable suffering damnation.
    *Votes down:* Those against the murder of innocent life in the womb, who do not willingly ignore the factual science that proves these days more than ever that life begins at conception, who do not willingly lie to themselves and others that videos like this one rom Popscie are not more scientific fraud and thus not pro-serial-baby-murder than anything else and that they are not those who will vote it up who have a much better chance of getting into eternal paradise if they are true Jesus disciples then those against it

    Notice how, all those for baby-murder, have already been born?

    You hear that? It’s ‘extreme’ to not want to murder your child. They want to tell you about misconceptions about conception, WHEN IT’S THEM WHO ARE WILFULLY MISCONCEIVED ABOUT CONCEIVING A CHILD! This lady is another baby murderer.. and they lie right to your face that somehow the latest embryology science does not utterly crush their brazen utterly selfish scientific fraudulent claims about how life begins at conception. This whole video is one conventient lie after another. The MOMENT the egg is fertilized CONCEPTION/PREGNANCY HAS COMMENCED as embroylogy FACTUAL science has proved! They use such DELIBERATE DISHONEST LANGUAGE, what utter DIABOLISM! God/Jesus declares LIFE begins at conception! This lady is such a WILFUL LIAR! KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED!

    Love, she said, should be said more slowly, and ran from the house. Words could not catch her as such. Honesty is so slow, that is the trouble. Pure unadulterated biological BS. They are getting desperate thus honesty evaporates like a soft summer rain.

      Actually no, this is complete honesty. Your denial of reality in order to validate your personal need for comfort is what is bullshit. I know it can seem pretty scary to face the fact that your entire life is in complete vulnerability to the systems of science, but that’s your own problem.

    What law has been passed by a state or by the Feds that applies only to men? Is it illegal for a man to have a vasectomy? Is it against the law for a man to have a procedure dealing with his testicles? Can a man be arrested for growing a beard? How about if he refuses to cut that disgusting hair that grows out his nose? Can he go to jail? Is there any procedure that applies only to men that insurance doesn’t cover? I asked my gynecologist those questions and he said I had a perfectly valid point and he thought it was totally wrong when laws were passed and medical decisions were made by lawmakers instead of the person to whom it applied and their doctor. Men can get ED meds covered by insurance. Many companies don’t cover birth control used by women. The *men* researchers who have developed birth control for men say that the men don’t want to take it. Too many side effects. Good thing the pill has no side effects on the women who take them. Why is a medical decision being made for women by a bunch of old men instead of their doctor and her? Why is this a law anyway?

      @Bakari Kafele A woman’s right to choose eh? Let’s get something straight you child of the Devil;

      Women’s rights? at least 50% of the innocent precious angels murdered in the womb are female. That’s women’s rights? This is utterly satanic ritual offering to their ‘Molech’ and ‘Chemosh” etc deities. ‘Abortion’ clinics are run by some self-admitted real world ‘witches’. Even public satanists endorse ‘abortion’ of course, but hey, why due your due diligent investigations right? Oh i know why, because your livelihood depends on you kow-towing the agenda of the Devil or else you don’t find work right? Should be a very clear indication of why the line of work you are in, only further causes yourself to further condemn yourself and curse yourself to eternal beyond words punishement.

      Also, got to love how those for baby murder, have already been born, and of course never minding the fact that “fetus” in Latin means “offspring” as a definition to when a woman is pregnant with child, and the word ‘fetus’ has been diabolically redefined by the language hijacking satanists and thus used by the wifully ignorant and uneducated to make themselves feel better about murdering the unborn, tell me oh supposedly wise “BuddyL”, WHEN does one SCIENTIFICALLY cease being a “fetus” and suddenly gain their inherent dignity and rights as a male or female member of mankind being a creation of God?

      Tell me “Buddy”, WHEN did you, Charles Lewis III, gain your “Humanity?” When did you cease to be a “fetus” that could be terminated, guilt-free, and suddenly become a male/man being that had the fundamental God-given right to live? And if murdered, would carry the heaviest penalties for your murderer under the law?

      “Planned Parenthood” Killed over 970,000 unborn babies in baby murder Molech altar sacrific temples a.k.a. “Clinics”/”Health Centers” worldwide last year, but hey.. that’s not genocide right?

      Without the right to life, all other rights of man are meaningless.

      “Planned Parenthood” again today murdered over 1000+ innocent boys an girls as any honest diligent study into the factual stastistics show.. but that’s not important to the nation(s) who have chosen satan as their god… no mainstream media wants to talk about it. Countless young females getting pregnant who choose to keep their child but have no baby father around, and no one wants to talk about it. Elderly, sick, disabled are being “euthanized” because sicko satanist men like Bill Gates think they are too ‘expensive’ and no one really wants to talk about it. Highly accurate statistics prove that almost all sodomites were sexually abused growing up, but the sodomite media doesn’t want to talk about it. The list goes on and on and THESE are just SOME of the major reasons why Jesus rained down fire and brimsone on such abominable nations.. when they forget God… and give Him the middle finger.. ooo boy… …they have no idea how what they think will not come.. is coming indeed.

      The Selective Service Act. More commonly known as the draft. Young men have been involuntarily been conscripted into military service and sent into to combat where their physical and mental well being were put at risk. Over the ages hundreds of millions of men have been killed or wounded as they were forced to fight for their tribe or their nation.

      @John Plaza If SSA hasn’t changed yet, it soon will. Read an article not long ago about changes being enacted to the SSA that would require young women to sign up. Something that would become inevitable once women were placed in combat positions..

    • John Plaza

      September 24, 2019 at 2:41 am

      @leodavinci1 A there has long been rumblings about including women in the SSA but nothing has come of it and nothing will anytime soon as neither party wants to address it. No action has been taken to date. Regardless if women are included, which they probably will be eventually, it doesn’t effect my point that men have been forced by their societies to sacrifice their mental and physical well being in combat since the beginning of humanity.

    None of this addresses the most fundamental misconception which is behind conservative feelings on abortion: that God injects a soul into the cell at the moment of conception, making a blastocyst a valid human being.

    • Martyr4JesusTheChrist

      June 23, 2019 at 6:47 am

      @Bakari Kafele ​ Bakari Kafele _”The reason this is a never-ending debate is that both sides absolutely insist on believing in their own made up version of what the other side wants and why. “_

      Ultracrepidarianism and thus intellectual suicide, expected from a YouTube channel like yours.

      _”..It is one of the most blatant and long-lasting examples of the sort of rhetoric that has polarized the country so extremely and pushed both sides to extremes.”_

      Amazing how the ones for baby murder have already been born eh?

      _”.. The insistence that the other side is malicious, and refusing to just listen to what they are acutally saying is, in short, the reason for a reality TV star being in the White House right now.”_

      Oh right, as if your YouTube channel is demonstrable evidence of someone with someone with so much ‘authoritative credibility’ on the matter eh? Former baby-murder doctors disagree, i’d rather but trust in their direct experience, then some ultra fool who supports the very organization that seeks to reduce the population of medium to dark skinned folks;

      Doctor Who Did 1,200 Abortions Tells Congress to Ban Them – 5/23/13 —- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53tzMV9OmvY

      _”…Personally, I’m pro-choice (or maybe even pro-abortion, there are enough people around already!)”_

      Of course you are pro-murder, so once again, isn’t it so amazing how those for murder in the womb, have already been born eh?

      _”..I don’t believe in a soul,”_

      Just because you choose not believe it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, just like the way you may choose to believe no train exists when you’re walking on the tracks.

      _”..or that God cares about every conception or that a blastocyst, embryo, or fetus is as valid a person as a 4-year-old kid. “_

      Quite the super ultracrepidarian charlatan statements you make.

      However, I don’t hate conservatives and Christians passionately enough to be incapable of empathizing with them. “Fetus” in Latin means “offspring” as a chronological definition to when a woman is pregnant with child, and the word ‘fetus’ has been diabolically redefined by the language hijacking satanists and thus used by the wilfully ignorant and uneducated to make themselves feel better about murdering the unborn, tell me oh supposedly wise “Bakark Kafele”, WHEN does one SCIENTIFICALLY cease being a “fetus” and suddenly gain their inherent dignity and rights as a male or female member of mankind being a creation of God?

      _”If a person believes that what makes a human special is a God granted soul,”_

      It’s actually SPIRIT. “Soul” means your life, like ’50 souls saved at sea’ means ’50 lives saved at sea’. Man has been given a spirit and soul, the soul is the lower part of man that he shares in common with animals, which you seem to be so much more an example then using the higher reasoning of the spirit God/Jesus gave man. Your definition of ‘soul’ you’re using is the Greek pagan definition where they believed ‘soul’ was the spirit which isn’t the case.

      _”..and also that that magic happens at the moment of conception, then abortion is murder.”_

      Once again; This isn’t “Abortion” !! This is baby serial murder period and there is nothing funny about such seriously important subject matter such as this topic of murdering innocent life especially in the womb. It is as intensely serious and completely stark as life and death and the blood circulating through our veins literally. And given that this video and what it is talking about here, it’s talking about the process of taking a living very very young male or female mankind being, complete brain waves + beating heart and other indicators of its status as a living being and chopping it into pieces, thus causing it to bleed to death and thus enter the world as a mess of hu-man hamburger. Yes, i’m sorry to have to be so brutal with this very hard truth but the hard raw factual indisputable truth it is.

      *Murder is murder, doesn’t matter if you are 1 minute old to 100+ years old.* The mother can give up the child for adoption or she can be like many mothers who keep their children even when they were raped because it’s still half of her, they chose life not murder. It’s murder period, and no euphemism like “Abortion” will change that. Advocating murder. A sicko euphemism for murder by using the word “Abortion”, you know what euphemism is? Here are some uses of the word;

      Cougar is the euphemism for a woman who has reached mid-life, who is single, financially secure and on the lookout for relationships with younger men—as in “prey.” —Kerry Gold, Vancouver Sun, 17 Feb. 2001

      Spin is sometimes dismissed as a simple euphemism for lying. But it’s actually something more insidious: indifference to the truth. —Michael Kinsley, Time, 25 Dec. 2000–1 Jan. 2001

      “Invigorating” is the euphemism we use most often to describe the chilly waters off the coast, but knowledgeable Maine boaters know where to find the warmer, tidal waters just right for a midsummer dip. —Ken Textor, Down East, August 2001

      If you are “let go,” “separated,” “terminated” or whatever euphemism the company uses for “clean-out-your-desk-and-be-gone,” remember that you do have rights. —Elsie Maclay, First for Women, July 1989

      Using “eliminate” as a euphemism for “kill”.

      In other words, ‘abortion’ is a euphemism to MURDER. In other words again, a euphemism is used to substitute a word or phrase considered to be less offensive than the factual proper word required, it’s a form of falsehood, deception, guile, deceit. The substituted word might, as an example, be seen as a less blunt choice, like when you use ‘dang’ or ‘darn’ instead of DAMN or DAMNED. Just like how people instead of blaspheming the name of God will use “gad, gadzooks, gosh” or will use “gee, jeepers, jeez” for “Jesus’ which is taking the Lord’s name in vain, blasphemy. Using the word “abortion” is a deceptive untoward morally bankrupt and insidious attempt to indirectly soften the hard reality of what it really is, which is murder, and thus, the word ‘abortion’ is used because people can’t handle the truth of what it is, it’s murder. Thus ‘abortion’ is a euphemism for murder.

      Clearly the pro murder of the little ones in the womb, the way they “rationalize” is evidence of already being a murderer in your heart with the added fact of condoning it while claiming it’s not murder by using corrupted laws of men to claim it’s not.

      Those who would dare claim murder of life in the womb is not ‘criminal’, they are the very ones who are the repulsive murderous criminals for advocating murder of living innocent defenceless beings. Those who would advocate murder of precious innocent defenceless very very young male and female mankind beings because they weren’t responsible during sex and thus the gov’t has legislated the murder of the innocent under the utter lie of ‘women’s rights’ (to murder their own living children) all in the name of it being ‘convenient’ because of not being responsible to think that if you are going to engage in sex at least have the maturity to comprehend the consequences or at least don’t have sex at all and avoid the whole getting yourself into of murdering innocent life, the point is it’s murder period.. and to murder innocent males and females of mankind no matter how old they are, is murder, it’s criminal period. Those who would advocate such and even sign it into law as supposed ‘women’s rights’, are truly the children of the Devil who hate with everything they are, God’s creatures, especially mankind;

      Mat 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
      Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
      Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
      Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
      Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
      Mat 18:6 *But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.*
      Mat 18:7 *Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!*

      @Bakari Kafele ​ _”It may seem hard to believe that anyone believes that,”_

      Do yourself a favour, your view is the minority in the world, stop committing scientific fraud and intellectual suicide, you obviously are not that authentically intelligent, you just rather communicate in factual ‘artificial intelligence’.

      _”..but people also believe Jesus was the literal son of God, “_

      Jesus never taught He was the literal son of God, rather He taught He was God, who put on flesh to save mankind from their sins, but of course, if you can’t get simple things correct, no wonder why you fatally get so much incorrect and not intelligent enough to discern the immense repetition of your intellectual suicide via sophistry, equivocation, obfuscation, and other forms of dishonest statements, claims, argumentation etc.

      _”…that he walked on water and ascended to heaven.”_

      500+ hundred witness saw Him after the resurrection, and there is witness testimony that He walked on water, but hey, you’re supposedly a legal historian who is supposedly authoritatively credible on such matters in your immense self-delusion to be someone you are not and to have such high aptitude and critical reasoning you do not right?

      *”There is no scholar in any college or university in the Western world who teahes classics, ancient history, new testament… any related field who doubts that Jesus existed.”* – Professor of Religious Studies Bart Ehrman, Freedom from Religion Foundation Lecture, 2014, YouTube, 51:50-52:06.

      *”Anyone who thinks that Jesus was modelled on such deities needs to cite some evidence – any evidence at all – that Jews in Palestine at the alleged time of Jesus’s life were influenced by anyone who held such views.”* – Bart Ehrman, _Did Jesus Exist,_ 2012. pg. 230

      “One of the most certain *facts of history* is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate.” – Bart Ehrman, The Historical Jesus: Lecture Transcript and Course Guidebook 200. p. 162.

      *”Frankly, I know of no ancient historian or biblical historian who would have a twinge of doubt about the existence of a Jesus **_(the)_** Christ.”* – Graeme Clarke, quoted in _Facts and Friction of Easter,_ Brisbane Times, 2008 article.

      “Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is *indisputable* .” – Gerd Ludemann, _The Resurrection of (the) Christ: A Historical Inquiry,_ 2004, p 50 [Gerd is a prominent historian who is a self professed atheist] .. he also stated;

      *”It may be taken as historically certain that Peter and the disciples had experiences after Jesus’ death in which Jesus appeared to them as the risen **_(the)_** Christ.”* – Gerd Ludemann, _What Really Happened,_ 1996, pg. 80.

      *”That Jesus’ followers **_(and later Paul)_** had resurrection experiences is, in my judgement a fact. What the reality was that gave rise to the experiences i do not know.”* – Ed Perish Sanders, _The Historical Figure of Jesus,_ 1993 [Ed Perish Sanders is a prominent historian who is a self professed atheist]

      – Swedish Scholar, a former professor at a prestigious university who authored one of the most comprehensive works ever written in the field of dying and rising gods called “The Riddle of Resurrection – “Dying and Rising Gods” in the Ancient Near East” in it’s relation to New Covenant faith, he concludes his book by stating the following;

      *”There is, as far as i am aware, no prima facie evidence that the death and resurrection of Jesus is a mythological construct, drawing on myths and rites of the dying and rising gods of the surrounding world. While studied with profit against the background of Jewish resurrction belief, the faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus retains it’s unique character in the history of religions.”* _(the proper word here is ‘faith’ since only God/Jesus offered the one and only faith to which when satan corrupts it, it becomes religion)._

      _”..People believe in reincarnation,”_

      As one who came out of witchcraft familial background, not all believe in reincarnation, but hey, you’re allowed to pretend and/or deceive yourself to be so much more well learned in such matters than ourselves, who have studied world religions for over thirty years.

      _”..and that star alignments predict the future.”_

      God/Jesus mocks that.

      _”… Humans believe a lot of crazy stuff.”_

      Which you are part of of that pool and in severe insane spiritually blinding hypocrisy, have fully deceived yourself you’re not part of that when you actually are.

      _”On the scale of it, believing that being human begins at having a full complement of DNA isn’t that much of a stretch.”_

      Equivocation and meretriciousness at it’s finest.

No one would consider for an instant that a mother has a right to decide whether her child lives or dies /after/ its born.
      To an anti-abortionist, there is no difference

    Love all the virtue signalling…from both sides. Funny though, a woman can terminate her pregnancy whenever, BUT a man can not terminate his responsibility to pay child support if he does not want to be the father, of a child a woman decides she wants to have. Oops that’s right, a man has no say on this issue, because it’s not his body, just don’t forget to pay that child support, because you don’t get to decide the woman should have an abortion.
    oh and btw those cells are alive, so that whole thing about needing to have a heart to be alive, is TOTAL BS! The minute that sperm and egg combine, that bunch of cells are ALIVE!
    btw I certainly wouldn’t want a 10 year old girl raped by her uncle to be forced to have a incestuous baby either!

      @Charles Polk and yet here you are parroting and regurgitating the typical soothsayer Pro Choice nonsense, while couching it in patting yourself on the back for equating YOUR definition of “rational”, while thinly veiled vilification of those that find a governance of individual…society and culture through the lens of “Religion”. The idea that the rationality of Religious ideology is anymore flawed than the rationality of various Social Ideologies, is laughable. All you are doing is towing the Pro Choice line, ala read between the lines of attempted magnanimous virtue signalling!
      This idea that the Anti Abortion position is simply and wholly a “Religious” doctrine, is spun by political pundits and the LAMEstream Media, and is idiotic!

      @Tommy Lee No, I’m an adherent of the principles of the enlightenment that said that the imposition of religious beliefs on those who may not share them is immoral.
      This is precisely the reason we have the free expression clause in the first amendment. Jefferson said that protection extended not only to freedom OF religion but to freedom FROM religion. The argument about banning abortion based upon the POTENTIAL of a human life is based on a religious belief, not a rational one. No one should be able to impose that belief on another person through the power of the state. Period.

      @Charles Polk “The argument about banning abortion based upon the POTENTIAL of a human life is based on a religious belief, not a rational one.”, that is nothing more than parroting the stereotyping of the Anti Abortion crowd, and isn’t remotely true holistically.
      “No one should be able to impose that belief on another person through the power of the state. Period.”, and that is what the typical Pro Choice crowd uses as their idea of “Rational”….smh, yet it is utterly hypocritical, because it is the “State” that the Pro Choice crowd wants to be protected by to be allowed to killing a infant upon birth, and at anytime they deem appropriate. It is trendy to vilify and chastise the embrace of the Religion of Christianity.
      “No, I’m an adherent of the principles of the enlightenment that said that the imposition of religious beliefs on those who may not share them is immoral. “, and that is just you patting yourself on the back virtue signalling. If you knew anything about “Enlightenment” you would know WHERE those “Principles” HISTORICAL progenitors and purveyors couched that ideology from. Ironically the following of the doctrine of “Enlightenment” is usually a parallel of Religious doctrine, simply because “Principles” are predicated on “Doctrine”!
      Both sides of the Abortion issue are just people chasing their tails, because they don’t know how to be dispassionate in examining the scope of it, simply because they don’t want to recognize the PETTY flaw and DRIVE of their side winning CONTROL of what is done about it!
      “This is precisely the reason we have the free expression clause in the first amendment. Jefferson said that protection extended not only to freedom OF religion but to freedom FROM religion.”, pure contextualization applied to an issue that isn’t remotely simple enough to be pigeon holed that way, but hey it speaks to those, who heard it from some popular political pundit…zealot who spun it up on some talk show, that resonates with them. oh and Period. smdh

      @Tommy Lee What about the position that restricting a woman choice at the moment of conception is rational?

    • Tommy Lee

      June 26, 2019 at 12:39 pm

      @Charles Polk so a living organism regardless of complexity shouldn’t be a consideration of “choice”? Let me put it another way; What about the position that restricting a growing child’s choice at the moment of conception is rational? This whole agenda about “Woman choice” is nothing more than pandering to what is the TREND of being Politically Correct, and is never a SCOPE of the COMPLETE context.
      Why don’t men get the same consideration at the moment of conception? A man doesn’t get any consideration of “Choice”, he will either be required to pay child support or he will be breaking the law, he doesn’t have an ability of wanting to participate in a “Choice”, why restrict a mans choice at the moment of conception, or is that not “rational”?
      Yes I’ve heard it’s about it being a woman’s body and carrying a child for nine months, I can appreciate how easy it is to fall to demagoguery to debating this issue. And yet the woman’s body had to receive sperm to close the loop of “Choice”!
      And yet I certainly would not advocate forcing a girl/women to have a baby produced from rape or incest, she was not given a “Choice”.

    I have heard all of these debates back and forth, but I have not heard two questions brought up or answered. Hopefully this will help to give clarity on these two questions, as people only seem to be looking at one small piece of this puzzle.
    1) Where do you drop off the hospital bill and the prenatal care bills for carrying and having this child? If I have no right to decide if I am having this baby or not, then whoever made that decision should pick up the tab. And no I am not having the kid at home, as any medical professional will tell you, there is always the chance of complications, so the safest place to have a child is in a hospital.
    2) I hope these states are giving a list of baby drop off stations, because if I was not determined to have the child (for whatever reason – financially, emotionally, mentally, etc) then I surely would not determine to keep it after I have it. So I would assume that there is a list of places that the child may be dropped off (Governors office, Legislative office?) so that these people can ensure that the child will be cared for in a loving and nurturing environment for the next 18 years. As a person once said, “having a child makes you a parent, like owning a piano makes you a pianist.” Not everyone is capable of being a parent, or their current situation may be possibly harmful to one or both of them (woman / child). So I would assume there are individuals standing at the ready to take on these children and raise them to be possitive and productive citizens. Considering how many children are currently in foster care, it should be a breeze to take care of (yes this is sarcasm).
    As for women not having sex unless they want children, I want to see men try that little maneuver first. Let me know how long that lasts. It is not my right (or yours) to tell someone they have to have a child, unless you are willing to stand up and take the child on and raise it. You have to be willing to solve the whole problem, not just the initial part.

    • Keith Folger

      June 23, 2019 at 6:46 am

      If you want a list there are 10s of thousands of people on wait lists to adopt children. Call Catholic Charities, the wait list is years long. Why do you think so many people spend thousands of dollars for foreign adoptions? There are not enough babies in the US to meet the demand.

    • Kerry Prine

      June 23, 2019 at 12:38 pm

      @Keith Folger Actually, there are children available for adoption all the time. Unfortunately, in this country the cost is very high to adopt, and with our system, there is always a chance the birth mother can come back and get the child back through the courts, so people would rather go overseas to adopt, because once the child is here there is little to no chance the original parents will come back looking for the children.

    Not sure what the section on ectopic pregnancy was supposed to communicate. When the woman’s life is threatened abortions are permitted. Maybe the author needs to learn some more. Two methods of birth control are 100% effective: abstinence and vasectomy/tubal ligation. Think I smell an agenda.

    • Charles Polk

      June 23, 2019 at 10:19 pm

      It was meant to communicate how stupendously ignorant those anti-choice legislators passing these laws are. In this case the ideology and irrationality of an anti-choice legislator was so strong that he added an amendment to the law for a procedure that doesn’t exist, I suspect to head off the possibility that a woman might ask for an abortion to safeguard her health in the case of such an ectopic pregnancy. If that doesn’t clue you in as to the ideological “agenda” of the legislators passing these laws, nothing will.

    • John Plaza

      June 24, 2019 at 1:14 am

      @Charles Polk My point exactly. While claiming up front to provide unbiased information to both sides on conception they were in fact targeting the proposed legislation and the “stupendously ignorant anti-choice legislators”. Be honest. Don’t be deceptive. Don’t pretend to be unbiased and then present a biased video.

    • Retired Ob Gyn

      June 24, 2019 at 3:02 am

      FYI – Other than abstinence, there is no form of contraception that is 100% reliable. Vasectomy failure is very rare, but it does occur. Tubal ligation failure is more common than vasectomy failure.

    • Charles Polk

      June 24, 2019 at 4:34 am

      @John Plaza John, statement of fact doesn’t constitute an “agenda”, its just a statement of fact. If those facts disagree with ones opinion, I guess you could say the facts themselves are biased. I frequently run into exactly this argument from global warming deniers. If a documentary states that it will talk about both sides but points out that only a tiny minority of climate scientists disagree with the consensus view that global warming is real and its human caused, then the deniers automatically pull the “its a biased documentary” out of their collective hats. By their logic, the only way it COULD be unbiased would be pretending that both sides had equal or nearly equal scientific support, even though that isn’t true.

    WOW I really thought it will be genuine but it clearly has an agenda. All we need is to educate ourselves.
    1- How likely these contraception methods fail when used properly??? less then once in a 100
    2- Sure no problem with that, but I guess if you planed the pregnancy you wouldn’t wanna terminate it duh. the point is this BS crap about sexual revolution is just another word for irresponsibility.
    3- Same point as the 2nd one.
    4- Same point as the 2nd one.
    5- Really I have no problem with you at that point it’s a 3 mm to 4 mm cluster of cells sure, but the picture used at 3:40 is simply misleading ( just google 6 weeks embryo and do some research) kuz you can clearly see distinctive cells being formed ; not a ” heart” per say but surely something that pumps blood, unless what we were taught in school was total BS.
    6- wow did you even read the bill; it says there is no repercussion in the abortion if the woman is in danger. This is clear to me that they didn’t even bother looking that up so why would they bother looking the rest up???

    1. How easy is it to prevent pregnancy?

    Extremely. Don’t have sex. If you don’t want kids, don’t have sex. It’s that easy. No sex, no pregnancy. Sex is for married couples joined under God aware their activities could produce a child they will love and raise.

    2. When does pregnancy start?

    Right away. The question is, when does life start? The seed is life. There is an old testament verse were God allowed a man to die for spilling his seed on the ground as apposed to in his wife. Life starts at the seed. It’s alive as it swims to the egg. It would be no less of a travesty to reach into the woman while the seed is trying to swim to the egg than to abort the child. There is always life in the process that you are NOT welcome to kill.

    3. When do pregnancy tests work?

    Irrelevant.

    4. When do people realize they’re pregnant.

    Irrelevant.

    And the rest of the video is pretty irrelevant as well.

    While this could qualify as a slightly informative film about pregnancy, it steers well clear of the crux of the issue. Not when does a woman become pregnant, but when when do we consider the unborn a person with all the rights of any other person. The fact that it never mentions that leads me to believe that they are ok with performing an abortion at anytime. Successful premature births and laws that equate the killing of a pregnant woman to two deaths support the idea that a “clump of cells” becomes a person before they leave the birth canal.

    The question of abortion has always been when does this shift from a medical procedure to murder.

  20. Stephen C. Kempf

    September 23, 2019 at 8:04 pm

    At least some of the information in this video is wrong. The video states that the true heart beat cannot be detected by 6 wks after fertilization and that heart has not yet formed. This is incorrect. The human heart begins to beat between 21 and 22 days (primitive heart structure and beating present) after conception, so at about 3 wks. In fact, some recent studies suggest that beating may be earlier. By 35 days (5 wks), the major components of the heart have formed though they still have to undergo further development to achieve the four chambered structure. This structure is attained at about 8 wks. Recent studies suggest that the heart muscle tissue is not fully organized until 20 wks; however, this does not mean that the heart cannot beat. While I happen to favor sensible laws that allow abortion, I also believe that information provided by either side of the argument should be accurate. For general information on when and how the heart forms see the following diagram.

  21. Ken Newman

    October 1, 2019 at 8:59 pm

    And none of that deals with the point at which the unborn should be defined as human.

    And virtually every source I’ve found so far, (about a dozen) state that fetal heartbeats start at 6 to 6 1/2 weeks. The heart starts to form 18 to 20 days after fertilization. (The Mayo Clinic says 4 weeks) Also, brainwaves can be detected at 6 weeks or so.

    So basically, she’s full of crap. Shocking, but true…

    It’s really unfortunate how toxic the comments are. Everyone seems determined to tell everyone else what to do with their own body, claiming the moral or religious high ground. As if they understand exactly why someone is making the decisions they are making. Separation of church and state should be reinforced here. I don’t care what your beliefs are, don’t push them on others. You do nothing but alienate and contribute to division.

    But, of course, that’s exactly what those in power want. Squabble among ourselves about things that have been settled for a long time, that way ‘they’ can continue to pilfer the public coffers.

    People whine about abortion being killing, yet buy products from companies who contribute towards genocidal governments (looking at you China) or happily scarf down their factory farmed foods. No one is innocent in any of this.

When Everett Knowles hitched a ride on a Boston train, he expected to make it home in a few minutes. But the result was the final leg of a medical history journey more than 30,000 years in the making when Eddy Knowles’ doctors turned tragedy into a medical miracle.

The path from accident to surgery required an almost impossible set of conditions to line up perfectly, and then it actually had to work. On the day of the accident, the wild scramble to harness expertise and to weigh calculated risks make for an engaging story of science and human ingenuity — but the truth is that the same exact process of discovery and daring is what forged the centuries of scientific knowledge that Eddy’s doctors used to save his arm.

Scientific triumphs and medical miracles happen every day. They just take thousands of generations to be born.

When a 40-year old Ohio man named John fell in the bathroom and hit his head on the tub, no one expected it to change how the entire world approached space exploration. But John Glenn wasn’t just a business traveler in a hotel room, and the medical mystery that followed changed NASA and the space program of the USSR.

Was John Glenn’s vertigo the result of his orbit of the Earth during his Mercury Atlas 6 mission? Was it all just an accident, or did it come from his intense World War II and Korean War pilot service? And could the balance, dizziness, and nausea be prevented for future astronauts?

The resulting research into what went wrong with John Glenn, Alan Shepard, and other astronauts and cosmonauts who experienced debilitating illnesses after spaceflight pioneered the spaceflight to the Moon and beyond — and it all started when a man slipped on a rug.

The 80s may have been the golden age for both toys and kids’ TV. He Man, Thundercats, GI Joe… it was the best time in history for action and action figures. Mattel had a grand idea to combine the two into one experience: Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future would not only present a futuristic drama, but also allow the kids watching the show to participate in real-time with interactive toys.

At least… that was the idea.

The reality of Captain Power was a disastrous mismatch of concepts for the Captain Power toys and the show itself. Was the show made for kids or adults? Yes! Was it CGI or live action? Yes! Were the toys awesome, interfacing seamlessly with a television show that would be the next big thing for giant toy-maker Mattel?

No — a resounding no.

Our Captain Power documentary enters the worlds of retro gaming, 80’s toys, and television lore to find out what went so wrong… and what ended up going very, very right.
