PROLIFE POSTER #2

A mother’s glowing kindness and selflessness is a call from God. A woman is cared and respected mainly due to her God-given gift to bear life. Child bearing is a no easy task for women. Giving birth is both painful and rewarding experiences for mothers.God instituted marriage so that men and women can fulfill their gender roles within a family. Ideally, marriage enhances the life of a man and a woman by providing them with a community of caring and sharing, of stability and support, of nurture and welfare. The kind of gift marriage brings forth to the society is incomparable and that is why there is much necessity to keep it standing strong.
A Bill that will remove parental authority over their minor children or would devalue a husband's leadership in homes is destructive of the family as a basic unit of the society.

PROLIFE POSTER #1

Vasectomy has been given a "pass" in the general public and when people answer questions about vasectomy on Yahoo! Answers, the posts always look the same. They all say  that vasectomy has no side effects, can't affect sexual function and is completely safe. When someone point out the incidence of chronic testicular pain and the sexual side effects that men complain about anonymously in internet forums, they get "thumbs down" ratings. This is very strange.We can always find list references from the Urological literature to back up these points, yet, few seem to accept the information.
I don't understand the defense of an elective surgical procedure by people who have not had it done. It is like vasectomy has an "urban myth" attached to it of "complete and total safety". Perhaps it is because of the advertising of vasectomy as completely safe and the lack of public forum to discuss the outcome. Fifty percent of men keep their vasectomy a secret due to fears of being seen as less masculine or defective in some way after the procedure. Perhaps the men that have side effects keep their symptoms to themselves out of a similar fear or embarrassment. It is not like vasectomy is an acceptable "water cooler" topic.
Interestingly, if you get men who have had it done to talk about it, you hear a wide group of side effects and the hell of post-vasectomy pain syndrome.

A Vasectomy gone wrong

What if the "safe" vasectomy fails? Failure as in you would loose all the manly pride you have in your entire life. One will not only suffer a tremendous physical pain but also a lifelong psychological trauma.
In May 1996, Daniel Stalker reluctantly decided to undergo Vasectomy with the promises of safe, simple, painless and less invasive operation as compared to female sterilization. He felt so much pain during the procedure. Later one of his testicles then turned black and swelled to double the size. The complications has caused so much pain as he describes :
“About 20 hours a day I’m in bed, doubled up in pain. I’ve tried to commit suicide five or six times because the pain is that bad. It is manageable one minute - I could be sitting there talking - then the next second I’m doubled over in pain and I’m screaming the house down. It happens about five times a day.”

He said it was difficult for his wife, Elizabeth, 47, and his four children, Gayle, 25, Michael, 23, John, 15, and Aimee, 12. Gayle had had to come back from Australia, where she was working as a nanny, to help his wife look after him, he said.
Doctors has to remove his testicles to save his life and an attempt to end his misery - but this has failed to alleviate the pain.

Regrets comes later. Better be safe than becoming "less of a man"
