Catholic Cult- Abuse Strikes Yet Again - This Time- Symphysiotomy.

Symphysiotomy - A Brutal Practice. It is estimated that 1,500 Irish women unknowingly and without consent underwent symphysiotomies during childbirth between 1944—1992. The practice was used by Catholic anti-birth-control doctors, in "Catholic hospitals" in Ireland during this time. Some survivors were left with severe lifelong after effects, including extreme pain, impaired mobility, incontinence, and depression.Then-Minister for Health and Children, Mary Harney, ruled out a review on 19 February 2010.
The most common indications are a trapped head of a breech baby, shoulder dystocia which does not resolve with routine manoeuvres and obstructed labor at full cervical dilation when there is no option of a caesarean section. Currently the procedure is rarely performed in developed countries, but is still routine in developing countries where caesarean section is not always an option.
The procedure is not without risk, including urethral and bladder injury, infection, pain and long-term walking difficulty. Symphysiotomy should, therefore, be carried out only when there is no safe alternative. It is advised that this procedure should not be repeated due to the risk of gait problems and continual pain. It was the dismissive, & arrogant attitude of the Catholic priest on this programme that really pissed me off, but Vincent Brown - the presenter gave him a good grilling. Hope you find this interesting, & thank you for watching.

Bloody hellfire

[skyzthelimi7]

Not sure about hellfire, but it could get bloody one day; no pain, no gain. Cheers.

Skyz... I like you. lol Good luck with your mission from Canada!

[skyzthelimi7]

I adore Canada, was in St. Johns last year, Canadians are the salt of the earth; no bullshit, you tell it like it is, a bit like me. Merci bien.

I would throw a party if the Vatican City was swallowed up by an earthquake, pummeled by a meteor/s or any other act of nature. I could think of a few other places to target also.

[skyzthelimi7]

Me too, sometimes I want to burn it to the ground, but then I think lets keep it as a souvenir, reason and justice over evil & superstition; thanks for the comment buddy.

The catholic church should have it's property seized and sold with the proceeds going to thier many victims.

I watched one brilliant documentary on RTE or TV3 on this horrible topic in 2006 or 2007 when I lived in Ireland. It covered a story of several women, who underwent it as well as their families. Does anyone know what was the name of the documentary? I would like to show it to my countrymen, since nobody believes those things could have happened in 20 century.

That is just...hideous. I don't know whether to thank you for the information or to blame you for the new nightmares. I think I'll just go have a cigarette, while it's still legal.

[cynopt]

Nooooooooooooooo, why did I watch this?

[Tom Bloom]

What a brutal practice for an absurd reason. Just a note: There is a true knot in the umbilical cord visible at 2:34.

[faunflynn]

Good post. This stuff is just plain crazy. Evil to boot.

[David Keenan]

Another things to add to the list of why I abhor the influence of the Church in Ireland. Thanks to it I don't know my mother's family. In 1932 kids born to unmarried teenagers were taken & placed with 'good' Catholic families. I got beaten regularly at school. The final straw was when a priest told me he could get me an annulment from my first marriage if I said the right things. This after 6 yrs of marriage & 1 child. I've never trusted a priest or the Church since.

Does the media in your country pick on teen pregnancy issues in my country? No, it picks on the ones in your country.

Does christianity have the most believers among the country`s populations? There`s your answer as to why they pick on it -- it`s the largest. Just as the media in arabic countries picks on islam, the media in the US will pick on christianity.

Again, your point? Oh wait ... victimising yourself and getting upset when caught in the act .... mhm ....

[TheZion1948]

victimise myself ?

WTF !

im an agnostic from a jewish background i have 0 relations with christianity !

but im just sick that liberal media only blames christianity and only point the finger on christianity.

REASON WHY ?

because the socialist media is to chickenshit

[dsaasdf]

Your point? We`re not pointing this out from a different religion`s point of vie, for self promotion. We`re pointing this out because it`s the largest and most common religion worldwide and because it is predominant in civilised countries .. and such a thing, it`s FARRR from civilised, right and moral.

Now, again ... your point? Oh wait I know ... you tried to victimise yourself. No, not gonna work.

Interesting and informative video. I was obviously already aware of all the child abuse within the Catholic Church but the birthing methods is something I wasnt aware of at all. Keep spreading the information.
