Ultrasound photos "squick" her out

| 5 Comments

3d1.jpgHere's an interesting Feb. 8 blog post by pro-abort Suisan:

I keep getting pictures of my soon-to-be twin nieces/nephews from my proud mother-in-law. The latest batch was ultrasound stills of them at 13 weeks. I know I'm supposed to gurgle with glee when I see proof of their existence....

But I can't open more than one picture. Because they truly squick me out....

Ultrasound pictures of unborn babies make my stomach turn over.

3d2.jpgWhich is not a good reaction when the proud parents point to the picture on their refrigerator, he with his arm around her waist, she with a bright smile on her round face as they say, "Isn't it wonderful?"

And all I can think of are anti-abortion protesters.

There's a disgust and a hot rage and a feeling of nausea or maybe fear I feel when I see an anti-abortion protest, even on TV. It's like watching a lynch mob, or maybe a lynching. That hot sweat of fear behind the ears. The stomach cramps. The panic of, "I don't know what I can do. I don't know what to say. I need to go be safe somewhere else."

3d3.jpgThat's what I experience when I see an ultrasound of an unborn baby. Oh please don't make me look at this. Don't try to prove to me that you have life within you. I believe you, really, without the photographic evidence. No. No. I mean it. It's OK. I'm happy that your happy, but you don't need to show me ALL of your bodily functions, right?....

But I wonder about the synapse.

I don't.

This is how far the culture of death has warped the minds of its supporters. They actually look at a beautiful unborn baby and are revolted by it! That reaction goes to very HEART of the problem we have to face in the pro-life movement: Not just save the babies but save the natural feminine natures of todays "modern" woman. Women have totally lost touch with their bodies and their identities as women. We have ro renew that in the hearts and minds of women too. Only then can we put an end to the evil of abortion.

At least she's admitting that reality bothers her.

If she's really okay with what abortion does, the ultrasounds ought not to bother her at all.

As I read the response from Susian "Ultrasound photos 'squick' her out" I had to wonder if her reaction was not so much because she is pro-choice, but because she is post-abortive. It might be very painful for her to see those pictures because the reality of life in the womb stares back at her, bringing her to the realization that abortion does take a "life".

If you had read the entire post, not just the edited version, you would have learned that I detailed my attending the removal of a mummified foal from the pus-filled uterus of an aged mare. I was not disgusted, although it was terribly disgusting. So I can deal with the aftermath of an abortion just fine, thank you.

When I see an ultrasound of a human fetus, it reminds me of abortion PROTESTORS who assume that I should feel a certain way when presented with a picture. It is my disgust at the vociferous tactics of the protestors which disgust me, and which reintroduce those emotions when I look at an ultrasound of a fetus. Because the parents of the fetus expect me to be overjoyed by the picture's existence. I'm not. I'm happy for the parents. I have three children of my own, all delivered using natural childbirth.

I also talked about how beautiful all a person's organs are, but yet we are not expected to gush in delight over seeing an ultrasound of them (which I would probably do). I don't believe in worshipping the fetus, especially in its early and most private stages. I served for too many years as a stud manager on a horse farm to know how very often those early embryos simply do not make it. Even at thirteen weeks, nothing is certain. To my mind, let's not throw a party or plan a college graduation party just yet.

And I feel bad for the parents that I cannot share in the joy their ultrasound brings them, because the pro/anti conflict has poisoned that image of thier child for me.

Perhaps it is useful to read the entire post, not just a carefully edited version, before deciding what a terrible person I am for being honest about my emotions on my own blog.

Suisan, whatever I edited out, it was for brevity, not to misconstrue your thoughts, which I did not.

Your attempt to rationalize your aversion to ultrasound photos confuses the matter even more.

You find viewing the aftermath of abortion acceptable but not the babies beforehand?

Suisan, you may not believe I have compassion here, but I do. I agree with Dawn you may have issues to deal with. There have been plenty of women who do. There are also many resources for help.
