Well…. We have some news…
April Fool’s! We don’t mean to scare you! Haha! We may have had a little “piece of rice in the rice cooker” scare, and needed to double check. SO, we ended up buying a pregnancy test to make sure.
This pregnancy test was a gut-wrenching revelation to our hearts. If you buy a pregnancy test today in our country (remember, we’re not pregnant), it comes with one of these (below), because if you’re potentially pregnant in our country the first thing you’re apparently supposed to do is consider killing your baby. And judging from the amount of advertising, pre-birth infanticide is not only much more convenient than traditional infanticide, it’s a cash cow. This is an abortion discount card for a local hospital.
The front roughly says: “PAINLESS ABORTION Assistance Card” “Assistance amount: $50” [Government] Appointed Hospital Painless Abortion Assistance Hotline
The back is worse. The back compares three kinds of abortion: abortion via drugs, ordinary abortion, and the “Blah-blah Hospital’s Hysteroscopy Obtain Embryo Surgery” Here’s what the columns read:
• Surgery eligibility (“medical indication”):
◦ “up to and including the 11th week.”
• Surgery time:
◦ “three minutes”
• Anesthetic:
◦ “short-term effect I.V. anesthetic”
• Patient’s surgery experience:
◦ “sweet dreams during the surgery, wake up promptly, cozy and cheerful after the surgery”
• Harmful side-effects:
◦ “very few complications, won’t affect subsequent pregnancies, can go to work the next day”
It has the address, contact info, and a website.
We were completely stunned at how convenient and appealing they have made it to have an abortion.
