Pictures Of Aborted Babies On Planned Parenthood Doors

Pictures of Aborted Babies on the "Morning After Pill."

Hey folks,

"Hey there Pete. I know that you stopped smoking. At least I think you did. But you have always been as smoking advocate. I'm just wondering what you think of this."

I do not know if I would call myself a Smoking Advocate. I am all about FREEDOM. It's Legal. The Government makes a Boat Load of money on the Taxes. It is a product for Adults. If you chose to smoke, then it's YOUR choice. It's called Freedom.

There is NO, til this very day, NO, absolute Proof that second Hand Smoke caused ANYTHING but annoyance to others. I know, I know. They have told the lie so often most just accept it as fact. Is it bad for you? Yup. Should you refrain from it? Yup. If you never start, should you never start? Yup. Is it hard to quit? Of course.

Smoking is bad for you. It DOES cause sickness and disease in some people. It is a Crapshoot. A Gamble. Like playing Russian Roulette. Does it mean that if you smoke you WILL die of some hideous, and horrifying disease? No. But there is a better chance of it than if you do not smoke.

That's not good enough for the Liberal busybodies out there. Those that think that they know better than you what is best for you. No. They NOW want to put obscene pictures on Pacts of Cigarettes. Here is the Link: AOL Health - Feds Want Corpses, Rotting Teeth on Cigarette Packages

(Nov. 10) -- Images of corpses, rotting teeth and diseased lungs will take up half the space on a pack of cigarettes, under federal proposals unveiled today.

The graphic new labels are designed to scare smokers into quitting by showing what can happen to them. The warnings are required under a law passed last year that gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products.

The FDA is proposing a new requirement that cigarette packs carry larger, graphic warning labels to cover half of the package -- both front and back. Click through to see some examples of the labels.

The proposed warnings can be seen on the FDA website. Among the most brutal: a corpse with a toe tag; stained, rotten teeth in a mouth with a gaping sore; babies surrounded by cigarette smoke; and a set of diseased, blackened lungs shown next to a pair of healthy, pink ones.

"Today marks an important milestone in protecting our children and the health of the American public," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

OK, so they want to put these picture on Packs of cigarettes to show what MIGHT happen to you if you smoke. To Show the reality of Smoking. OK. Then LETS show the reality of another CHOICE. Abortion.

Yup. I'll be all for the warning photos on Cigarettes, that depict what COULD happen to you if you smoke too much, as long as they start posting pictures of Aborted babies, on the doors of Planned Parenthood. What about on the "Morning After Pill?" This is not what COULD happen. This is WHAT DOES HAPPEN. This is the end result of THAT choice. You want to deal with Reality. Then LETS deal with Reality.

Yes it is true that some who smoke will get sick. I know. Believe me. But it is NOT true that EVERYONE who smokes will get sick. Look at someone like George Burns. My Friend Vera. Others out there. These folks smoked their whole lives and lived into their 90s and into their 100s. Yet, some people that have NEVER Smoked, still die of Cancer. Like I said, it a Crapshoot.

However, if a Woman goes into Planned Parenthood, and says I no longer want this Baby, well, the end result IS the Death and Destruction of the LIFE. I know, some think showing the pictures are hideous and outrageous. Why? THAT is dealing in Reality. That IS what happens. That IS the end result of that choice. So what's the problem?

OH. I see. It's only offensive if you do something to offend Liberals. Smokers are too stupid to know that it's bad for them. People are too stupid to know what they should and shouldn't eat. You are too stupid to know what kind of light bulbs to put in your house. Too stupid to know what kind of Car to drive, and what temperature to keep your home. But those who willing seek to MURDER their own Child? Well, they need not see those hideous pictures. "No, no, no. That is just propaganda and an attempt to brainwash some poor innocent Woman into keeping her Child. That's just wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting such a thing." {Sigh}No that is showing Reality.

You're all for it for Smokers. Why not for Murdered Babies? THAT would be showing Reality.

CT Scan Cuts Smokers' Lung Cancer Deaths by 20%

Some GOOD News For Smokers.

Hey folks,

As you all know, I was a Smoker since age 14. I Smoked the real deal. The Standard, harshest, strongest Cigarettes out there. No. I'm not naming the brand, but they come in a Red and White Box.

I Smoked about a Pack and a half a day until I was around 26 I think. I quit. For Three and a half years I did well. An occasional Dream, urge, whatever, but I stayed steadfast. Until one day, perhaps the, most definitely one of the, worst days of my life. A friend of mine was Smoking and I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Hey, you think I can get one of those?"

"Uh, Sure? Are you sure?"

"Yeah. After Three and a half years, one is not going to kill me."

Well? In about 30 minutes, there I was, at the store, buying my own pack. It was as if I never quit. I got up to two to THREE Packs a day. I smoked until Last Year without much thought about it. Then I got sick. I went to the Doctors and they found this little annoying lymph node in my Lung. I was also diagnosed with moderate COPD and The early stages of Emphysema.

Well, I just do not accept all that. I have a Son, one on the way. A Wife. A Niece. Family. Responsibility. I do not have time to get sick. I do not have time to deal with stupidity. So I quit smoking again. Not to mention the MONEY I have saved buying the stuff, I feel much better.

One thing I DID learn, is that the Second time, was SO MUCH HARDER than I could have ever imagined. Now I understand when some people say, "I just can quit." they are telling the truth. A lot of the time, MOST of the time, when someone is diagnosed with a Smoking related Sickness, it is too late to do much about it. Until NOW. According to Live Science - CT Scan Cuts Smokers' Lung Cancer Deaths by 20%

Screening heavy smokers with a computed tomography (CT) scan can catch tumors early and reduce deaths from lung cancers by 20 percent, according to a new clinical trial.

"Overall, this study provides strong evidence that older patients who are at high-risk of developing lung cancer could benefit from CT screening, and that's a significant finding," study researcher Dr. Claudine Isaacs, a director at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University, said in a statement.

The National Lung Screening Trial study enrolled 53,000 men and women ages 55 to 74 starting in August 2002. Participants were required to have a smoking history of at least 30 "pack-years," which is calculated by multiplying the average number of cigarette packs smoked a day by the number of years the person has smoked. They were either current or former smokers who had no symptoms or history of lung cancer.

I had more than 30 Pack Years. I could have done this. But this is GREAT News folks.

Researchers separated the people in the study into two groups: one received three annual low-dose helical CT scans - helical scans may give doctors a better view internal tissues than regular CT scans - and the other received three annual standard chest X-rays.

The people in the study were screened when they first enrolled in the trial, and at the end of their first and second years on the trial, and then researchers followed up with them five years later.

Of the people who received the CT scans, 356 had died from lung cancer as of Oct. 20, whereas 442 people in the X-ray group had died of the disease, according to the study.

This means the scans reduced lung cancer deaths by 20.3 percent, the researchers said.

Now of course, some have to pooh-pooh any possible advances.

There are several disadvantages of using a CT scan, however, the National Cancer Institute said. The screening process produces false-positives, leading people to seek treatments for suspicious findings that turn out not to be cancer - an anxiety-inducing and costly endeavor.

There are also negative health effects of repeated exposure to radiation, as well as potential surgical and medical complications in people who may need extra testing to diagnose lung cancer.

I do not know about you, but if getting these tests, reduce my risk of DYING from Cancer by %20, then SIGN ME UP. But the COST is what some will argue. Like Obamacare. You will probably NOT be allowed to get this under Obamacare. It would be deemed too expensive.

A more complete analysis of the results is set to be released in the next few months, researchers said.

The study was published Nov. 3 in the journal Radiology.

Can't wait to read it. I'm judging nothing, nor anyone. If you Smoke, then you Smoke. Try the "Electronic Cigarette," it REALLY does work. Or try the Patch, ask your Doctor if any of the Medication out there will be right for you. Do whatever it takes, just try to stop Smoking folks. It really is not worth it in the long run. But do NOTHING until you are mentally ready for it, or NOTHING will work. YOU have to want it for YOU.

IWA For Sunday 013110

OK. So an update. I am officially quiting Smoking TODAY! I have been playing with it for the past week and a day. It's time to just give it up all together. I went from 50 or so a day to 11. I made it until about 3 pm yesterday without one. But then I did. I felt a little sick, and VERY Pissed off at myself for having one. Truth is, I was not even really craving it. It was there, SO? You get the point. "Hey I did great today. I made it all the way to Three o' clock. I can have one now." Nope. Not a game anymore. I really do not want to speed up the process. I want to be active and around as long as possible to see Joshua grow up.

Go get your gogo Juice, I'm going to fill my cup. Mine is Seattle's Best "Cinnabon" www.seattlesbest.com Be right back.
