Ending unwanted pregnancy as easy as swallowing veterinary medicine.
By Bob Unruh

Some teens in rural America are now self-inducing abortions with chemicals intended to abort livestock, reports one of the nation’s oldest and most influential pro-life organizations.
“What kind of world have we created for these girls that they’re drinking poison and risking death in these modern-day back-alley abortions, rather than bear their child in love,” asked Judie Brown, president of the American Life League,
The grisly situation was first exposed through the efforts of Anna Anderson, head of the Care Net Pregnancy Center in Green County, Wis., who reported the trend on the Stephenson County Right to Life website of Freeport, Ill.
Anderson reported getting numerous calls and visits to her pregnancy care center from teens who either had taken the drugs or were worried about friends who had taken them.
Cases have been documented in at least three rural Wisconsin counties, she said.
The drugs, kept on farms for management of livestock under the names Prostaglandins, Cystorelin, Factrel, Gonadorelin or Lutalyse, were being ingested orally in large quantities, even though animals are treated by injection, the alert said.
Besides resulting in the death of the unborn baby, other complications that could ensue include infections, blood loss and even death.
“If I hadn’t known the woman who reported this, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Brown said.
But both Wisconsin and national veterinary associations have acknowledged the problem.
According to the American Animal Hospital Association warning, its state officials in Wisconsin “contacted the district school nurse, who verified that the district has received reports of this abuse.”
“This situation underscores the need for veterinarians to remain vigilant about storing, distributing, prescribing and using veterinary products that can pose human health risks,” the advisory said.
Brown blamed it on parents’ lack of communication with their children.
“We are currently in a meltdown situation with regard to the kinds of communication parents are having with their children,” she said. “The parents no longer are truly in charge of their children. They have surrendered control to the public school system.”
She wondered what kind of circumstances would allow young girls to not “feel obligated” to discuss with their parents an issue such as ingesting poison.
ALL had only days earlier issued a report revealing that in the last two years, 61 additional Planned Parenthood facilities have started offering “medical,” as distinguished from surgical, abortions.
Quoting Celebrate Life editor Stephanie Hopping, Brown noted veterinary medication abortions “illustrate that decriminalized abortion does not stop highly dangerous abortion methods like this. In fact, it probably encourages the use of them mightily, because this is hardly different from an RU-486 abortion, except that it isn’t done under medical supervision.”
ALL also has reported medical abortions are on the rise, based on a survey of offerings from Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“A teenager who is trying to hide the truth from her parents, and knows that the local farmer has a drug that is going to take care of her ‘problem,’ could not only succeed in killing her baby, but could kill herself,” said Brown.
“The culture of death would shed not a tear, of course, but for those of us who struggle to restore moral sanity to America, a report like this sends shivers down our spines,” she said.
Anderson’s warning reported she knew the practice had been going on “at least since this past summer when a young ‘hired’ man in our area gave a girl a medication meant to (among other uses) induce abortions in cows and horses to cause her to abort their child.”
“This is a very deadly drug for fetuses,” she continued. “According to a local veterinarian, pregnant women are not even supposed to handle the bottles in which it is stored unless they are wearing gloves. Needless to say this girl lost the baby. The drug consists of a high concentration of hormones so human ingestion of it is not poisonous to the girls but it is deadly to the developing fetus and has potentially deadly consequences for the girls.
“The news of this young couple’s success in aborting their baby has spread through the Monroe High School and possibly elsewhere, which has resulted in other pregnant girls obtaining and consuming this drug in order to abort their unborn babies,” Anderson reported.
“Some of the girls who are taking the drug are much further along in their pregnancies than the original girl. This is resulting in life-threatening complications for the pregnant girls when the drug successfully results in the placenta pulling away from the uterine wall; the baby being starved; the baby then dying; which results in spotting and uterine contractions followed by an abortion of the baby. In these more advanced pregnancies, these girls could potentially bleed to death or have a life-threatening systemic infection if the uterus is not completely emptied of the baby and other pregnancy tissues. In addition, one physician said that there could be clotting issues because of this drug.”
She warned, “Girls (and obviously their babies) are going to be dying because of this. Babies have already died because of it.
“If this is going on at our high school, chances are that it is happening at other high schools as well – especially in rural agricultural areas. Unsuspecting parents and anyone else who might be in a position to help these girls and stop this deadly practice need to be aware of this ‘drug abuse’ among area teens,” Anderson said.
It is not easy to protect your children in their online activities. Most parents don’t know enough about the internet while young children absorb new technology and information quite easy.
There are thousands of predators out there looking for innocent inexperienced children to take advantage of. The percentage of youths who have experienced such harassment online increases every year.
Here are a few Parental Control Tips and a few Parental Control Suggestions that young children should follow when they are online.. If they follow these rules no one can harm them through the internet.
T i p s:
Tip #1:
Children should always tell their parents if they receive any kind of strange message that is scary. Child molesters are not stupid. They will try to carefully approach a child, and if the child resists the shelfish molester will almost always use stupid threats to scare them.. Children should never accept instant messages from strangers and by all means they should never accept mysterious invitations to private chatrooms.
Tip #2:
Children should never use their real name unless they are 100% sure who the person they are giving their name really is. Instead they should use a nickname.. They should never Tell anyone their passwords or login information or other sensitive information like Phone numbers, school name, family name, address etc. They should never tell their age to an online stranger.
Tip #3:
Children should never agree to meet a stranger live. The internet molesters will do anything to persuate the young child to meet them. Even if the person suggests they should meet in a public place, children should never accept such invitations.
Tip #4:
Children should never send their photographs to a stranger over the internet. It’s a good practise to never accept photographs or other files too, unless they are pretty sure who the person on the other end of the line is.
S u g g e s t i o n s:
Teach Your Children.
Spend some time with your children while they’re online. Ask them to show you their favorite websites and talk to them about the dangers of surfing on the internet. You should also teach yourself how to report an internet crime (e.g. child pornography or internet harassment). You may want to visit cybercrime.gov for more information.
Is your childern’s school safe?
Your children may have access to the internet when they are at school. Make sure the school has an internet monitoring software. If they don’t suggest that they immediately install a parental control software or even an simple internet filtering software. Most schools have software that permit only certain educational webpages and resources to be accessible via their computers. Make sure your children’s school meets these criteria.
Learn more about your children’s friends.
Do you know your children’s online friends? Take some time to meet them and even meet their parents. Talk to your children’s friends about the dangers of the internet highways and recommend to their parents to install a Parental Control Software if they haven’t already done so.
Install Parental Control Software or Internet Monitoring Software.
Software Technology offers a convenient solution to parents by presenting various types of parental control software. These Software Programs use sophisticated methods to filter the websites that can be viewed on your browser.
You can specify certain rules (filters) and disallow various types of websites from opening.
Many Internet Parental Control Software include E-mail filters that block certain types of e-mail and allows you to filter junk e-mail out of your inbox.
Internet monitoring software records all the online activity by creating snapshots of the visited websites or by creating logs of the chat room conversations and instant messaging conversations.

While the Internet has certainly brought a wealth of information, convenience and has a made the world a much smaller place, the Internet has its liabilities and especially so for children, teens and all minors. The responsibility of protecting children from online dangers lies with parents. There are several steps you can take to provide Internet safety for kids.
One solution, which some parents choose, is to completely restrict their children from using the Internet. This solution while keeping your children safe is not always the best option. One, the Internet is here to stay, it is an important part of everyday life, and its use is a skill that is often required by schools and in the work place. Also, if you just tell your kids that they cannot have or use the Internet then you eliminate the opportunity to teach them how to use it safely. So, if they do use it when they are away from you, (which believe me does happen, even with the best of kids) at a friends house or school then they will not have the tools they need to stay safe. Having talks and discussions with children about the risks is very important, and as a parent you should set certain limits and keep the conversation open in regards to Internet safety.
The following are 5 hands-on steps you can take to teach, limit and restrict children while they are online and therefore provide Internet safety for your kids.
5 Steps to Internet Safety for Kids:
1. Have a conversation with your kids. Explain to them, in as much detail as their age will allow some of the dangers that exist online. For example, that strangers in chat rooms, are just that, strangers. That they should never agree to meet anyone, give out their phone numbers, personal information like address etc. The same conversation that you had with them about not talking to strangers applies even more so when online, so use that and extend it further. Remember that most of these steps will only apply to computers you have at home. When your children are away from you they will have access to other computers and that is when those conversations will be the guidance that ensures their safety.
2. There is software available, which can help to protect your children from any content that is not appropriate for them. Software like, Microsoft Windows Vista Parental Controls, helps parents to manage, monitor and administer the use of the computer by children. The software, Windows Live OneCare Family Safety, filters certain chosen information and even a child’s searches can be blocked by filtering certain keywords.
3. All web browsers allow for parental control settings. You can make personalized adjustments from the browser to set limits that you desire and to insure your child’s safety.
4. You can increase children’s safety by creating Limited User Accounts for your children from your Administrative Account. This restricts children from changing system settings, installing any new software which includes chat programs, games, etc. You can see the help section of your Operating System for detailed instructions on how to create User Accounts. This is a simple process and the instructions are step by step.
5. Be active and be a snoop. Yes a snoop, keep track of the websites that your kids are surfing. You can view all websites that they visited in the History List or Cookies from the web browser. You can even see the email addresses, correspondence and downloaded files. If you see something inappropriate or dangerous take the necessary parental actions. Sometimes we want to be our children’s friend but we have to always be parents first.
Always remember that these are concrete steps that will provide Internet safety for your kids and protect them while they are online and still allow them to get the benefits of using and learning to use the Internet.
