University of Hawaii
Carrying Out Controversial Abortion Experiments on Minors
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.7 Apr 2015
The Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children at the University of
Hawaii is currently recruiting
pregnant girls and women to participate in second-trimester abortions to
measure their bleeding during the operation, with and without antihemorrhagic
drugs. According to the Clinical Trials website, run by the National Institutes of Health,
participants must be at least 14 years old and 18-24 weeks pregnant.
The controversial study, led by Bliss Kaneshiro, MD and Kate
Whitehouse, DO, will monitor bleeding during D&E abortions to determine the
effects of the drug oxytocin, commonly used to minimize blood loss and decrease
the risk of hemorrhage.
The clinical trial, called
“Effects of Oxytocin on Bleeding Outcomes during Dilation and Evacuation” began
in October 2014 and is a collaboration between UH, Society of Family Planning
and the University of Washington.
The Society of Family Planning funds a number of similar
research projects, such as experimenting with the dosage of Misoprostol, a
uterine contracting agent, prior to surgical abortions at 13-18 weeks and
exploring umbilical cord injections to produce fetal death prior to late-term
abortions.
In the UH study, researchers will carry out a “randomized,
double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials,” to determine the effect of
oxytocin’s use on uterine bleeding, meaning that they will either provide or
deny intravenous oxytocin to the women.
Reports suggest that some doctors are
concerned that withholding oxytocin during surgery may put patients, especially
teen girls, at risk.
“This study is reminiscent of Nazi concentration camp
experiments. I pity the poor women who are being treated like lab rats,
especially those who are denied the drug to reduce hemorrhaging,” said Troy Newman,
President of Operation Rescue.
Dilation and evacuation
abortions are surgical procedures that involve dismembering the pre-born baby with
forceps, scraping the inside of the uterus with a curette to remove any
residuals and finally suctioning out the womb to make sure the contents are
completely removed.
After the abortion, the corpse of the fetus is reassembled
and examined to ensure everything was successfully removed and that the
abortion was complete.
The study is hoping to attract up to 166 test subjects and
is expected to conclude in July 2015.
