HERS Gives Gynecologists Female Anatomy Lesson

HERS Gives Gynecologists Female Anatomy Lesson:

12-Minute Video To Save More Than $17B/year

The sex organs are removed from another woman in this country every minute of every hour of every day. A statistically insignificant number of men have their sex organs removed, even though the rate of cancer in the male and female organs is nearly identical.

99.7% of the women in an ongoing HERS survey begun in 1991 reported that they would not have proceeded with the surgery if a simple anatomy lesson had been provided to them.

The female reproductive sex organs are internal…the functions are not visible. Consequently, what is often referred to as the most over-utilized and unwarranted surgery remains the most commonly performed non-obstetric surgery in America, at a cost of more than $17B/year.

A new 12-minute female anatomy video from the HERS Foundation makes the female organs and their functions visible. “Female Anatomy: the Functions of the Female Organs” provides an essential component of the educational process.
Doctors must be compelled to provide a DVD of this video to every woman prior to asking them to sign a consent form for the removal of their female organs.

Can you imagine a country where the sex organs are removed from 622,000 mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends each year? That country isn’t in Africa or Asia or South America. It’s the United States of America…simply because they were deprived of 12 minutes of information.

    This is part of a conversation I had the other day with another hysterectomized women. The question is?
    Is it possible that OB/Gyn Doctors?, are unaware of UTERINE ORGASM?, or that they think it is possible to experience uterine orgasm without a uterus?
    The answer is clearly NO, it is not possible that they are this ignorant.
    The legal medical malpractice by OB/Gyn’s of lying for profit constitutes FRAUD. The criminal OB/Gyn’s must be embarrassed and forced legally into a cease and desist of this criminal activity by being given an anatomy lesson, and changing the laws.
    The sooner the better, save a life, sign the petition.
