I believe that her husband was responsible for the brain damage, who is said to be suspect.  that poor woman, i am 20 and i dont know a lot of people my age that cry over things like this that dosent effect them, but i was VERY VERY DISGUSTED ...I WANT TO CRY RIGHT NOW JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.....They let her STARVE TO DEATH!!!! STARVE!!!!!!!! THIS WAS THE CRULEST AND SICKEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! SHE WAS ALIVE AND CONCIECE, SOME PEOPLE VALUE THEIR OWN LIVES AND THE PEACE THEREIN MORE SO THEN THE MOST HELPLESS AMOUNG US, THAT IS HOW YOU KNOW THAT SATAN HAS OVER TAKEN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD OVER.  THIS IS SICK. THEY SHOULD HAVE THO0UGHT ABOUT LIFE SUPPORT FIFTEEN YEARS BACK.  HOW WOULD THEY LIKE IT IF I GAVE THEM MY KIDNEY AND THEY WERE ALIVE BECAUSE OF IT, AND KNEW IT, AND THEN DECIDED I WAS BEING INCONVENCED, SO I WANT MY KIDNEY BACK!?!?  SOMEONE WILL BE JUDGED FOR THIS. THEY COULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT HUMAINE WAYS TO LET HER GO IF THEY HAAAAAAD TO.  LETTING HER WASTE AWAY WAS SICK.  HAVE YOU EVER FASTED FOR A WEEK?  IT STARTS TO HURT, IMAGINE, EVERY WAKING MOMENT FOR THE LAST 12 OR SO DAYS (OVER A WEEK) OF HER LIFE WERE FILLED WITH HUNGER PANGS, AND SHE HAS NOTHING BUT HER BRAIN IN WHICH TO EXPRESS HER PAIN AND MADDNESS!!! IT MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!1

I think you are absolutely correct my friend.  \n\nI just wish the folks having these abortions had to take the remains home and provide their baby a decent funeral service.  \n\nHaving some dispassionate butcher flush the remains or dump them in the trash is somehow befitting of the rest of the procedure though, low life from start to finish.\n\nI wonder what they think about when the vacuum starts whirling and the skull gets fractured.  You know the have to hear it.  \n\nDon't you love the ignoramuses who have bought the "women's right to her body" spin.\n\nIf they had at least 2 brain cells they would actually be able to connect the fact that no one is telling a woman what to do with her body in any other instance - go get your boobs bigger, smaller, have your fat sucked out, get as fat as you want, lippo, tummy tuck, face lift etc, etc, etc, .  do what the hell you want to YOUR body.  The baby inside you is not YOUR body however.  \n\nI just don't recall the protest of those procedures. Maybe it has more to do with the BODY of the infant having it's skull eviscerated than it does wanting to "control" a woman's body.\n\nI really don't know who is more simplistic, the imbeciles who came up the the smoke screen or all the liberals morons who can't see through it.

I wouldn't eat it with any of my babies, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else do so either. Mercury (including dental fillings) can be EXTREMELY hazzardous to a baby. The theory is that the mercury (and ALL metals) are passed from mother to child, so a baby can end up with very high levels that have been passed down through several generations, and it all adds up to produce a mercury poisoned child.  \nWhile my autistic daughter was not mercury poisoned, I have friends whose children WERE, and have been nearly cured by a process called chelation. \nKudos to you for being concerned.....so many expectant mothers aren't.  : (

First of all, let me say how sorry I am that this has happened to your family.  Losing a baby is one of the hardest things that can happen to a family that is looking forward to loving him or her.\n\nNothing I can say is going to make this alright for you.  Nothing.  The pain is too new.  It hurts too much.\n\nMake sure that your sister (or sister-in-law as the case may be) is seeking counseling or in a support group.  Grief and the hormones that assault a woman after labor can be overwhelming.  If you think post-partum is bad for the average mother, imagine how bad it can be when compounded by a loss.  Make sure she has great support and is taking really good care of herself.  This is a critical time for her.  It's hard for all of you, and I don't mean to discount that in any way, but it's harder on her because hormonally she has some things happening that the rest of you just don't have to deal with.\n\nI hope you'll save the rest of this for when you're ready for it.  \n\nI think this is one of the hardest questions to answer. This is what nearly cost me my faith and my sanity.\n\nI've lost three babies and have no living children. I have wanted children since I was very young. I always though I would be a mom.\n\nI believe in God and I don't believe that babies die because they are bad or because of any wrong they have done. I don't even think it is a judgement of their parents.\n\nIt's hard to know who to blame when it happens and you want to blame someone. And I did. Mostly I blamed myself, and I thought of a million things I should have done differently. It was those sinus pills I took or all that caffeine I had before I knew I was pregnant, or it was the time I slipped and fell in the grocery store.\n\nSome people will say Satan took your baby and some will say God took your baby. So let's answer that first. It's an answer that needs a little background.\n\nSatan brought sin into the world. Sin brought death. In that way, Satan is responsible for death. It is his domain, and God allows it - for now.\n\nJesus came to redeem us. He conquered death. So even though Satan takes us out of the world (through death), Jesus takes us to be with God through redemption. \n\nBabies are sinless. They go to heaven.\n\nOf course I would rather them be here with me. I miss them. But I know that they are safe and that God can keep them from ever feeling hurt or sadness. They have joy now that I cannot imagine. Even though I miss them terribly, I don't have to worry about how they are doing. I know they are safe.\n\nIt took me several years to process everything and really feel better. There were a couple of verses that helped me.\n\nBut Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6:68-69 \n\nNo matter how angry I was at God, I still believe in Him. Where else would I go?\n\n\n“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” John 1227-28\n\nWhat if it was for this purpose that I came to earth? Losing my babies was the single hardest thing I have ever dealt with. What if the purpose of my life is to deal with that well? How I come through shows my love and devotion to God in a similar way to how Jesus showed His love and obedience - by gracefully facing the trial before me.\n\nHe who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32\n\nIt was hard to be mad at God for not sparing my children when I thought about how He didn't spare His own Son for my sake.\n\nGod was parted with Jesus for a human lifetime. I am parted with my children for a human lifetime. Because of the gift of salvation - God's sacrifice for me - I can live eternally with Him and

i don't know where to begin....my mother in-law ate the top of my wedding cake while my husband and i were on our honeymoon, therefore we did not even have a piece to save in the freezer for our first anniversary, the wedding cake was a gift from my husbands aunt (so my mother in-law never even paid for it, which would have made it a little more understanding) also, right before we got married and i was trying on my dress she made the comment that my husbands first wife was busty and could not have fit her chest in a dress like mine. she also made the comment that if my husband and his ex were still together they'd have another baby by now..... the list continues on... i swear that woman needs to stick a foot in her mouth.

If we had to listen to everything we hear we'd never eat,drink or breathe again!My philosophy is...i don't need  to have periods anymore and its a pretty safe way of avoiding motherhood again,so to be honest,i'll keep going until my doctor tells me not to!

it's thought not to be. it's just a variation on the kind of bacteria all women have. 10-30% just have it instead of the kind that isn't as harmful to babies.

Sounds like an old wives tale to me.  I'd never heard such a thing until this post and I fed my children watermelon (when they were old enough to have solid food, anyway).\n\nEdited to add: I see some people are saying that it's because they could choke on the seeds.  No offense intended to anyone, but it's sort of a "no duh!" situation - if someone's handing their *infant* watermelon without having taken the seeds out then, well, someone needs parenting lessons!

I don't know why others do it... but my mother has this disease. It is a mental health disorder as well as an eating disorder. Not only does the person who has this order go through it but everyone close to the person does too. It effects everyone. I have two daughters who see their grandmother going through this. One doesn't want to eat too much because she doesn't want to get fat.... which is a genetic problem in my family.... and I have one who over eats because she doesn't want to be as thin as her grandmother. In my own opinion, this is a sickness.... that needs to be brought out more so that more people can avoid this and be aware of it.

LOL,  no it is a load of garbage what you have been told. Breast feeding is positively encouraged by all doctors, nurses, etc in the UK it is not and never has been forbidden.
