Is It Spring?

We are continuing to expand our women's health clinic!

When my grandson was about 5 years old, he was drawing a large blue circle on a piece of paper. Trying not to misinterpret the drawing I asked, “Wow honey, what did you draw?” He said with a sigh, “It is a blue circle Grandma.”  How odd that Grandma could not see something so obvious!

In our culture today what used to be so straightforward and obvious has become distorted. It is common to see misinterpreting and reinterpreting definitions for many important terms such as marriage, gender, and humanity. The danger being when definitions are changed to fit agendas truth is lost and definitions become subjective. For example, the issue of life has been reinterpreted in the following ways:

• Pregnancy has been redefined as a clump of cells, a product of conception, a choice
• Children have been redefined as a financial burden and hindrance.
• Abortion is marketed as Women’s Health Care
• Chemical abortions are renamed medical miscarriages
• Deliberately killing a child in its mother’s womb is called fetal demise
• Killing preborn children is called Women’s Rights, Choice, and bodily autonomy
• Heartbeats are now labeled as Cardiac Activity
• Abortion is labeled as a mercy to the baby if a genetic defect is suspected
• Women are shamed as bad moms if they are battling addictions, poverty, or suspected genetic defects and they do not choose abortion
• Abortion is labeled as an undo button, so that you can wait for the "right time" to have children

Sometimes definitions are changed so rapidly that the agenda gets left behind. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines abortion on their website as:

For the purpose of surveillance, legal induced abortion is defined as "an intervention performed within the limits of state and jurisdiction law by a licensed clinician (for instance, a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) intended to terminate a suspected or known intrauterine pregnancy and that does not result in a live birth."

This definition excludes management of intrauterine fetal death, early pregnancy failure/loss, ectopic pregnancy, or retained products of conception. Most states and jurisdictions that collect abortion data report whether an abortion was performed by medication or surgery.

Are states and jurisdictions required to report their abortion data to CDC?

No, states and jurisdictions voluntarily report aggregate data to CDC for inclusion in its annual Abortion Surveillance report. CDC's Division of Reproductive Health prepares surveillance reports as data become available. There is no national requirement for data submission or reporting.

States and jurisdictions needing guidance on abortion surveillance may contact CDC at Contact CDC-INFO.

How do we get back to basics and call blue circles, blue circles? Ken Ham states in his book Daily Musings, Inspirations and Answers under the heading What is Abortion? “Well, for those who reject God and believe man is an animal having evolved by chance, random processes, then who decides what is right or wrong anyway? Morality would be subjective. So why would the deliberate killing of another human be wrong? How would murder be defined? Would it just be like the termination of the life of an animal? One of the things you will find is that secular evolutionists are always inconsistent when it comes to discussing morality, as they will (inconsistently) insist on some absolutes but be totally subjective in other areas. That's because when one builds their world view on man’s word, all is subjective. For the Christian how should we deal with the abortion issue? Well, to deal with any issue, we need to build our thinking on the Bible beginning with Genesis 1 – 11."

Genesis chapters 1 – 11 is our foundation defining gender, marriage, children, creation, and the value of human life. This is the basis for recognizing blue circles as blue circles.

Did you know?

There is a growing number of medical professionals recognizing the discrepancy between what is called "women’s health care" and the reality of the harmful effects of abortion. Below is a declaration from the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine clarifying their position on true patient care.

 The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine

Upholding and Promoting the Fundamental Principles of Hippocratic Medicine

November 1, 2021

Abortion is not healthcare. As physicians and other healthcare professionals, we know that when we care for pregnant women, we are caring for two distinct patients. Our duty is to protect and preserve the lives of the patients whom we care for. Our patients place their trust in us to recommend what is best for them, regardless of current political or cultural trends.

From the time the original Hippocratic Oath was introduced, there has been a clear separation of medical care from the intentional killing of human beings. The science is clear – at the moment of fertilization, a new distinct, living and whole human being comes into existence. Abortion, which is an action whose sole intent is to end this life, clearly violates the basic tenets of medical ethics.

Additionally, abortion treats no disease process and carries significant potential harm for women. The evidence is clear that abortions increase the risk of preterm delivery in future pregnancies, increase a woman’s risk of mental health disorders and suicide and increase her risk of breast cancer if she has not yet had a full-term pregnancy. These risks, and the risks of her dying from abortion related complications, are even higher if the abortion is done in the second trimester and beyond. Our patients deserve better.

Despite the politically-motivated lie that abortion is essential healthcare, the fact is that more than 90% of OB/GYN’s do not perform abortions. This is because we all recognize abortion for what it really is – the intentional destruction of human life through barbaric methods. Over the last two years, we have seen the medical community pull together to protect the most vulnerable amongst us. No one is more vulnerable than preborn children, capable of feeling pain and completely dependent on our protection in order to survive.

It is time for those of us in the medical profession to boldly defend the lives of all of our patients and demand that our preborn patients be protected and our pregnant patients be empowered instead of lied to. Women and their children deserve our support, not the destruction of abortion.

In the nearly 50 years since the Court wrongly decided Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, medical science has progressed significantly and has increasingly supported the pro-life position. It is time that the law of our land caught up with advances in medical science and supported the human rights of all of our patients.

We would be wise to heed the words of the late Martin Luther King, Jr: “On some positions, cowardice asks the question: Is it safe? Expediency asks the question: Is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: Is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic nor popular, but he must take it, because conscience tells him it is right.”



The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM) upholds and promotes the fundamental principles of Hippocratic medicine. These principles include protecting the vulnerable at the beginning and end of life, seeking the ultimate good for the patient with compassion and moral integrity, and providing healthcare with the highest standards of excellence based on medical science. Our organizations represent nearly 30,000 healthcare professionals.
