Considering that the authors are directors of <a href=\"https:\/\/ramlink.collegiatelink.net\/organization\/SURJ\">Students United for Reproductive Justice at Berkeley<\/a>, this is not surprising.\u00a0Abortion is portrayed as\u00a0&#8220;a common reproductive health care decision,&#8221; rather than as ending the life of one&#8217;s own preborn child:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8230; Medication abortion, an option available to pregnant women before ten\u00a0weeks, is a simple, safe process that can be done in the woman\u2019s home. This form of abortion usually feels like a very heavy period. Some women report feeling empowered by having control over the process. But when a student seeks this common option, they are faced with confusing and unnecessary hurdles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For many women, a medication abortion\u00a0isn&#8217;t just &#8220;a simple, safe procedure.&#8221; And\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/fda-undermines-state-pro-life-regulations-with-new-chemical-abortion-protocols\/\">the FDA only just recently changed the time frame of seven weeks to ten weeks<\/a>, which\u00a0may have been done for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino\u00a0discusses the procedure in a video series from Live Action. As the video notes at the end, risks range from mild to fatal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdominal pain<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Maternal\u00a0death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QOjhK5hfEhU]<\/p>\n<p>Those symptoms don&#8217;t sound like &#8220;a very heavy period.&#8221;\u00a0A woman goes through not just cramps, but contractions, to expel her preborn child. Also unlike a &#8220;very heavy period,&#8221; a woman may have spotting and bleeding for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t just take the word of a former abortionist. Abby Johnson, a pro-life advocate and former director of Planned Parenthood, went through a medication abortion herself.\u00a0She has described it in both her books, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/10\/20\/abby-johnson-planned-parenthood-kept-me-in-the-dark-on-my-abortion\/\">her accounts<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MedicationAbortion-AbbyJohnsonChapter.pdf\">harrowing experience<\/a> can be read online.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/category\/womens-stories\/abortion-by-pill-stories\/\">Countless women<\/a> have had <a href=\"\/news\/the-truth-about-ru-486\/\">horrific experiences<\/a>, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalrighttolifenews.org\/news\/2013\/09\/pro-choice-woman-angry-about-not-being-sufficiently-warned-about-chemical-abortion-dangers-and-side-effects\/#.Vw7o4mAw_lJ\">those who support abortion<\/a>. Another mother <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2012\/05\/21\/mother-of-disabled-son-i-knew-i-had-to-abort-him\/\">thought she was doing her disabled son a favor<\/a> by having a medication abortion, and while undergoing the procedure, didn&#8217;t feel so thrilled with her decision.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Berkeley students don&#8217;t stop at claims of &#8220;empowering women,&#8221; desiring instantaneous access to abortion &#8211; without any waiting or counseling:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Because Tang does not offer abortion services, students with SHIP have to pay the $300 deductible and 10 percent of the overall cost for an out-of-house procedure. Some pregnant women, such as Anuva, are told they must visit Social Services to talk about their options before getting a referral, even if they are certain of their decision. This practice shows that Tang doubts a woman\u2019s ability to make her own medical decisions, forcing her to talk with professionals at Tang and at the clinic about her decision. After visiting Tang twice \u2014 once for the pregnancy test and once for the Social Services counseling appointment \u2014 she can book an appointment at a nearby clinic. After one visit to that clinic, among a full schedule of classes, she can return again to terminate the pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The editorial reads similarly, casually noting that &#8220;medication abortions&#8230; have been legal for many years&#8230; and are not invasive.&#8221;\u00a0They also bemoan the process as &#8220;jump[ing] through insurmountable hurdles to get a legal abortion.&#8221; Really? Discussing other options and requiring a waiting period is &#8220;insurmountable&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0editors continue:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">But by providing the service itself, the Tang Center would save women who want an abortion from the agony of hacking through a jungle of referrals and bureaucracy that only serve to complicate an already difficult decision. An\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailycal.org\/2016\/04\/01\/350799\/\">op-ed<\/a>\u00a0recently published in The Daily Californian correctly points out that these complications significantly affect a woman\u2019s emotional and mental health. At an institution where students and administrators have championed the importance of mental health to academic success, any process that harms the emotional well-being of students should be reformed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;An already difficult decision&#8221;? I guess the editors haven&#8217;t heard that\u00a0Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards <a href=\"\/news\/switching-tactics-abortion-used-to-be-difficult-but-now-it-isnt\/\">thinks abortion is really no big deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While much is made of these obstacles affecting a woman&#8217;s &#8220;emotional and mental health,&#8221; what\u00a0isn&#8217;t pointed out is that having the\u00a0abortion affects a woman&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theunchoice.com\/psychological.htm\">emotional<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theunchoice.com\/pdf\/FactSheets\/PsychologicalRisks.pdf\">mental health<\/a>\u00a0as well. Even if a woman is fortunate enough to not require hospitalization after undergoing a medication abortion, and while her bleeding eventually stops, she may suffer from the abortion in other ways.<\/p>\n<p>It is obvious\u00a0that the radically pro-abortion group at Berkeley prefers to\u00a0ignore these facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month,\u00a0the undergraduate student senate at UC-Berkeley passed\u00a0a resolution demanding the student health center provide medication abortions on-site.
