About Us

Ann Rose and Susan Hill have something to say. Every morning for the past several years, they've chatted on the phone and ranted about the events of the day. Now, instead of ranting to each other, they will air their opinions on the internet with Hot Flash Report which will focus on abortion, reproductive rights, birth control and right-wing sexual hypocrisy. Along with a hand-picked group of 'Flasher' columnists, they will dissect the latest spin on the news and give you a piece of their mind. Ann and Susan are both long time liberal Democrats and abortion rights activists with national credentials.

Mercy Abortions: Let me preach to the choir

Fewer than 2200/year or 0.2% of the 1.3 million abortions performed yearly are past 24 weeks.  But, the anti-abortion propagandists have successfully maligned procedures at this stage of pregnancy by calling them "Partial Birth Abortions" (not a medical term, but a political one).  Even pro-choice Democrats don't understand the reality of late abortion.

I call abortions past 24 weeks Mercy Abortions...and I'll tell you why.

For 14 years, I worked at Midtown Hospital in Atlanta, a woman's hospital specializing in late abortion.  The hospital opened in 1977 because at that time, Georgia law mandated that an abortion past 12 weeks had to be performed in a hospital.  Abortion had just been made legal in 1973 and it became the first procedure to be widely performed on an outpatient basis.  

More below the fold.

The British Parliament commissioned this study by the Science and Technologie Committee of the House of Commons.  Much like the study that  Repugnican Prez, Saint Ronnie the Reagan, directed the office of his once almost sainted Surgeon General Dr. Koop, to carry out.  Of course, that was never released by St. Ronnie the Reagan, since the almost sainted Dr  Koop was an honest man who refused to lie about the findings.  And then Dr. Koop came out in favor of CONDOMS TO PREVENT AIDS!

And then, Oh MY!  Didn't the Religi Right kick Koop's stinkin' ass out of the Saint's Club quick!

Oh, and the Koop study was finally released to the MSM by the Democraticaly controlled US House of Reps with little fanfair anywhere and no recognition by anyone on the part of the radical religious right and in their militant anti-abortion campaigning.
