Medical

Medical abortion is a term applied to an abortion brought about by medication taken to induce it. This can be accomplished with a variety of medications given either as a single pill or a series of pills. Medical abortion has a success rate that ranges from 75-95%, with about 2-4% of failed abortions requiring surgical abortion and about 5-10% of incomplete abortions (not all tissue is expelled and it must be taken out by surgery), depending on the stage of gestation and the medical products used.

Medical abortions can provide some measure of safety in that they eliminate the risk of injury to a woman's cervix or uterus from surgical instruments. Some women require an emergency surgical abortion, and, for safety concerns, women undergoing medical abortions need access to providers willing to perform a surgical abortion should it be necessary.

CAUSES OF ABORTION

• Fear for Financial difficulty to raise the child

This is a consequence of lack of confidence in God since the most beautiful and desired for a mother should be her own son. Unfortunately this consumer and false values society we all are living in, has devalued the baby who must come to this world and with its rationalism has created a false fear. Let us see a great example: Kay James, a Public Relations Officer for PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT in the United States speaks of a terribly poor black woman, who was ditched by her alcoholic husband, who had his fourth baby on a table. "I was that baby", says Mrs. James who is graduated at the University and mother of 3 children.

• Fear to what people or parents might think or say

(When getting pregnant during the engagement). Actually, human concepts and reasonings, including those of parents or third parties must not prevent a creature from coming to this world. Life is given by God and God is above all concept.

• Fear to the 9 months of pregnancy and to the pain during the labor

Actually, the greatest mission of every woman, is to be mother and to bring children to the world. If animals that are irrational do not deny this right, Why is the woman going to be scared, if it is a natural function that corresponds to her feminine nature?

• Health problems

Let's remember Beethoven's case, the great musician who astonished with his divine music, and who is still listened by those who want to give food and breath to their soul; His mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis and his father was alcoholic.

• Rape

Rape is a horrible abuse with traumatic effects for many of its victims. For a woman who carries in her entrails a creature fruit of a rape is not helpful at all, to know that pregnancy rarely happens in these cases. Nevertheless, Should we make an innocent creature pay for his father's crime?
A raped woman who wrote anonymously to a magazine, said that she had an appointment to be done an abortion but canceled it. "I knew that what I had in my entrails was my baby. Now I have a daughter, a precious girl. I thank God daily for not to have aborted".

• Hormonal contraceptives

A Woman who takes either tablets, injections or implants, has certainly determined not to have a child and if she gets pregnant then she feels frustrated in her intentions and often she resorts to abortion. These contraceptives are one of the main causes of abortion nowadays.

WE SHUOLD BE ALARMED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.... THIS VERY RAMPANT TO US TEENAGERS...

C-H-O-W-C-H-O-W

In order to think it through we might ask ourselves this:
Would the person who died want you to kill yourself - to end your life - to be with him or her ?

Think of it in reverse.
If you were to die first, would you want your loved oneto commit suicide to be with you in an afterlife ?

As an example, my husband has made it very clear that he absolutely does not want this for me and he makes me promise. He wants me to live on and be happy and make the most of the rest of my life if we are separated by death. I would want the same for him. As long as I am taking my supplements and they are still working for me, I am sure I can keep my promise.

Other thoughts to consider:
My hubby reminded me of this one: Whatever is over there on the other side, time doesn't matter. If our loved ones are somewhere in an afterlife, they are in no hurry.

And, some fears can be healthy: We still really don't know if we would end up in the same afterlife - if the modes of death were different i.e. natural death -vs- suicide.

Y how to kill boredom?? xD @ 1:23 PM

Steps

-Try to work out why you are bored.
-If you can make or do something, even if you're a child, do it. Such as, Internet, Going to the park, Or, making Arts and Crafts.
-If you are bored because you are doing something that you have done many times before, try adding something new or doing it a different way.
-If the boring thing is a physical task you need to get done, try doing it to music or listening to a book on tape while you do it.
-If the boredom is caused by feeling lazy or tired, take a nap if you can. Most people don't get enough sleep anyway.
-If you are rested and still feel lazy try to convince yourself to do just one thing.. something small or short in duration or part of a task.
-If you are bored because you feel you can't do the things you want to do then try to think up new ways to do the activity.
-If you are bored because you can't think of anything to do then start by getting physically active. This will help you think well.
-If you are bored because you are mad and can't find anything to do, call a friend to vent, maybe you'll think of something to do while you are talking to your friend and as you cool down.
-Change your thoughts. Your thoughts affect your behavior. By changing your mind about the meaning of your emotion and experiences, you will generate a different attitude. Get inspired with powerful long-range goals. Powerful goals keep you inspired. You can’t feel bored at the same time when you are motivated to build a life.
-Fire up your imagination. Create mental images to stimulate your thoughts. Visualize where you want to be and what you want to become. Use your imagination to experience a situation that you want to happen in your life. The wonderful thing about imagination is you can create anything you wish to experience.
-Talk to other people. If the person next to you is looking as bored as you are, strike up a conversation! A good topic is how boring the event is. If you have a good person to talk to, the event can pass by pretty quick. You might also learn something.
-Go through some motions. Change your physiology. Go for a walk or do something physically outrageous. Write down 10 things you can do and start something from your list to overcome your inertia.
-Journal your feelings and thoughts. One of the ways to become aware of what triggers your boredom is to question yourself and take a hard look at it. Observe and write down your feelings and thoughts for a week and at the end of it, reflect on them. You could also start a blog online.
Create curiosity. Create your curiosity on what’s happening around and inside you. You find life boring because of the repetition or a pattern of some habits or activities. Try to look at and do them differently and get yourself fascinated with other options and possibilities.
-Find something exciting, stimulating and entertaining. Read, hear, watch or do something stimulating, exciting, and entertaining. Go out, see and experience new things. Rent some movies or listen to some music. Use your new gadget (cell phone, iPod, camera, etc.)
Make a list of things you wish you could do. Then when you are bored pull it out and look at it to get you thinking about what you might do.
-Find a hobby, such as hiking, knitting, drawing, playing an instrument, or cooking. If you are particularly good at one skill, you could teach others to do it, and be helping others as well as avoiding boredom.
-Avoid boring people and situations. Get away from people and situations that bore you. You can’t just walk out of a relationship but you can give yourself some space to do things that interest and motivate.
-Start a life list and accomplish a new thing everyday.
-Volunteer at your local hospital or elderly home.
-Go on a walk with your dog or try teaching them a new trick.
-Work for money. Ask for jobs to do around the house for money or even start a business like mowing people's lawns or petsitting. Pretty soon all that money will add up and you can buy something new that will keep you entertained.
-Practice sports by yourself or with friends. You won't be bored anymore and you'll be able to show off your skills next game and feel proud of what you acomplished.
-Paint your nails an odd or interesting color
-Call a friend you haven't talked to in a while. Use conversational topics like school, music, music videos, neighbors, and odd things happening in the news.
-Walk the mall and pay attention to the people there; what could they be thinking about? who could they be talking to? what kind of people are they?
-Memorize new song lyrics
-Bake something. Note: make sure you actually have some baking skills before burning your house down!
-Watch a movie you haven't seen in a long time. Does it seem different now?
-Make a list of everything you want to do before you die. Note; this is not supposed to be depressing or suicidal.
-Make a list of everything you can do with a penny. Flip it? Put it in your shoe? Get a gumball? --Go to Home Depot? Give it to a hobo? Be creative.

Tips

Being bored is a state of mind when you are fed up and sick of what’s going on or the lack of activity around you. Complacency also contributes to feeling bored. Boredom becomes a great concern when it results in procrastination, indecision and feeling listless and jaded.

The best way to avoid feeling bored is to make your life interesting by not sticking to too many routines. Another way is by making daily progress in everything that you do. You need to pay attention to your thoughts and daily activities and find ways not to submit yourself to drudgery and taking things for granted.

Some other fun ideas: make a collage, take a bath, make your own arm warmers, play video games, go to an arcade...there's plenty to do if you just put your mind to it.

A busy restaurant will put your name on a waiting list. Don't give your real name, give a wacky moniker like "Hackenbush" or use the name of a celebrity, like "Clooney" and watch diners react when your "name" is called!

If you are easily bored, look within. A bored person might be a boring person. Maybe you need to develop yourself as a person. It's why children are so easily bored. They haven't fully developed.

As suggested above, a journal might be a good place to start. Nothing to say? That could be an indication that you have inner issues that make you such a boring person.

In his book The 4-Hour Work Week, Timothy Ferriss has this suggestion: "Once per day for two days, simply lie down in the middle of a crowded public place. Just lie down and remain silent on the ground for about ten seconds..." "It isn't enough to think outside the box," Ferriss says. "Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box."

If someone accuses you of being bored (What's the matter? Are you bored?), don't deny it. you are not buying into being bored. If you say, "I'm not bored. I'm just thinking." then people will leave you alone and think you wish to be on your own. If, however, you say "Yes, I'm very bored, you fancy doing something fun?" then more often than not the reply you get will be suggestion of something fun to do, or at least someone to be bored with, which is much less boring.

At an office supply store, you can buy a device that turns recycled paper into writing tablets. Take a stack of fresh dollar bills and make them into a tablet. Pay for things by peeling bills off the tablet. Watch the reaction.

Warnings

Sometimes you might be tempted to do stupid things to overcome boredom. Be wary of these things and know that boredom will eventually pass. There's a difference between fun and sheer stupidity. You don't want to do something you might regret.

Many people eat to overcome boredom, but you don't want to get carried away. Try using this as a chance to eat healthy foods, such as fruits or vegetables.

Don't be tempted to experiment with drugs to pass the time. This is NOT a good idea.
