Yeah. I remember the first ultrasound where we saw a fetal heartbeat too.
And yet I remain pro-choice.
And here is why, moved up from the bottom of the thread:
We had a lot of emotional experiences related to ultrasounds during Mrs. Plaidder's pregnancy with PJ. Some exhilarating, some heartbreaking. That is what pregnancy is like. There are so many opportunities for things to go wrong. It is a perilous nine months, and one of the things you learn by making that journey is that conception does not guarantee life.
I know so many women who have had one miscarriage, two miscarriages, multiple rounds of failed IVFs, stillbirths...all while desperately wanting to keep the children they lost. I remember the way a friend described looking at the ultrasound that showed that their daughter's heart had stopped beating--a day before her due date. I know what a fetus whose heart stopped beating days ago looks like on an ultrasound.
All the women I know who lost these pregnancies grieved over them. No matter how far along they were. Eight weeks, seven months, nine months minus a day. The loss of the pregnancy is the loss of the child you begin dreaming of the day that test goes positive. Whatever stage it's at.
We came to the decision, early in PJ's gestational period, that we would never be able to bring ourselves to terminate this pregnancy, no matter what the genetic testing showed; so we didn't pay for the genetic screening they push on you everywhere now. It was somewhat startling to discover that when it came to us, there was nothing that could have made us decide to terminate--not even knowing that the child had trisomy-13 or whatever it is that they scare you with to sell the tests.
That is the decision that WE made. That is the decision that WE had the RIGHT to make. And what we want is for EVERY woman to have the RIGHT to make her own decisions about her own pregnancy.That is what WE learned from all those ultrasounds. For me or Paul Ryan or anyone else to tell some woman who wants to end her pregnancy no, don't do it, that's not what I would do is just as wrong as it would have been for our doctors to say you must take the test, and if it is positive, you must abort. About something this personal, this vital, this potentially life-changing and all-consuming, it is the people going through the pregnancy who MUST have the right to make the decisions. Anything else is a brutal violation of your human rights.
Conception, gestation, delivery, all these things are so much more chancy and indeterminate and unpredictable than these people want you to believe. Life may or may not begin at conception. But women going through this know all too well that conception does not guarantee birth. I know. I have spent more nights than you want to know trying to answer the question why. Why could this baby not have lived? Why was I allowed to conceive but not to give birth? Why does God, or why does nature, allow fetuses and embryos to be created which are genetically non-viable and therefore doomed never to be born? Why all this waste of potential life?
This shit is complicated, it is emotional, it is hard, it is a source of real grief for so many women. And when I see a guy like Paul Ryan tell a story like this and then look out at us with his Disney doe eyes as if that makes it all so simple...well, I am going to see if I can get through this paragraph without using any more profanity. What you saw on that ultrasound, Paul, was possibility. A possible child and an actual child are two different things. Trust me. People break their hearts on that difference.
It's all so simple to you, you arrogant...well, OK, I'm in a new paragraph now, but still, serentiy now. All right. There are many things I am sick of. One is the way the right manipulates fetal imaging for its own purposes. Because what htey are doing is playing with the heartshaking emotions attached to pregnancy in an attempt to score their bullshit political points. And that is not OK, all right? Our hearts are not your ****ing playthings, any more than our bodies are.

I haven't seen the Plaid Added in a long time. For some reason I had thought this DUmmy was a she.

1. Yes...I used reason and science...
...then I completely ignore them and base my decisions on my hatred of freedom and women.

2. I've BTDT 4 times
And I also love my children with all my heart. And I still am pro-choice, precisely because of those 4 beautiful girls I have.
That makes no sense, you are pro killing babies in the womb because you love your daughters?

3. Two kids, two ultrasounds
I cried when I saw the heartbeat. That was my baby's little heartbeat.
But I wanted those babies and I chose to have them. I am fully pro-choice.
If I ever start reading DU and they start making sense to me, I will know that I have lost my mind. These people are so backwards. They will fight to death to protect the right for women to kill the unborn because they feel like it, yet they will cry themselves to sleep every night over cop killers who are receiving justice for their crimes. That's right execute the innocent and spare the guilty. :banghead:
-
They say abortion is not wrong yet each of them couldn't bring themselves to abort their own? is that what this thread is about? :???:
-
They admit that their children are obviously alive, obviously children, yet SUPPORT the CHOICE to kill other children based on feelings. That is the compassionate left for you. :mad:

Yep that's what it boils down too. Morals are relative. Is it any wonder liberals slip so quickly into tyranny and genocide considering their views?

The ONLY issue those DUmbasses are "Pro-Choice" on involves killing a child. That should tell you everything you need to now about those morally-degraded ****tards.

Some statements are idiocy and others just a display of evil.
This one is the most vile combination of both.
**** you,you miserable cretin. :bird:

A child is nothing other than a possible adult. Yet we don't kill children on that logic, well not yet anyway.

Oh, no, they are basically pro -choice on anything sex -based. They are only anti -choice on things that really matter, like honor, decency, morality, Christianity, the Constitution ... anything that might limit their ability to be selfish and irresponsible.

It will never be wrong to tell someone that abortion is immoral. Preventing someone from doing something that is immoral trumps human rights (as you define it). To not understand this is to have your conscience seered so that their is no morality in your life. You and your fellow liberals have crossed that threshold, and you'll have to live with the consequences.
What you saw on that ultrasound, Paul, was possibility. A possible child and an actual child are two different things. Trust me. People break their hearts on that difference.
What you saw was an actual child. That something could go wrong between that point and the day of birth is a possibility. Until you understand that simple, yet indisputibly true, concept, you'll never really be human yourself.

I think they're saying that even though they can still hear a heartbeat, that life doesn't matter because choice. Apparently, in bizarro land, choice trumps life no matter the evidence. That's what they tell themselves so that their fragile consciences aren't bothered by a worse slaughter than the holocaust.
-
Everyone here knows why I am pro-life. DUmmies, if you're lurking, look around and you'll find out why.
Now, Plaid Ass, when you saw that heartbeat, what did you think? Did you HONESTLY think, "Wow, that's my zygote!!" If you say yes, I call a big truckload pile of BS on you. You. Called. That. Baby. Your. Child.
Why? Because it IS a child. Not a "perceived" child. These women (and men) who grieve for their stillborn babies are doing that because they are just that-babies. They take care of them, do things to help them develop in every sense. Have check ups to make sure the child is fine. Why? Because there is something there called true, unconditional love. When the babies die, it breaks their hearts because of that unconditional love.
My wife's pregnancy was a high-risk (because of twins). We opted to take the triple screen. Took it on Thursday, got the results on Friday. We were told that both children would have severe Down's syndrome. We never thought, that entire weekend, about aborting. Monday came, they did the test wrong, and the boys were fine. But, if God decided (or the hand of fate, if you prefer) that we were to raise severe Down's syndrome children, then so be it.
The difference is because we believe in the sanctity of innocent life. We have TRUE decency, compassion, respect, love, and honor. You are vile, loathsome, apathetic, ignorant, and downright evil.
The saddest part is that your kind will NEVER understand where we are coming from. You will never know decency, respect, honesty, humility. And I feel sorrow for you and your soul.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person in the universe.

I remember seeing our daughter on the ultrasound for the first time. I thought to myself, "Hi, Ellen!" (I was thinking about a Blackwater security team back then, too, to provide overwatch on her dates.) How someone could murder a perfect little human being is waaaaaay beyond me. The primitives are interested in one thing only--blood sacrifice.
-
You people (DUmmies) aren't normal.
-
A fetus is not a "possible child" it is a child, period. One the egg is fertilized, it has its own DNA, separate from the mother. Yes, it is sheltered in the mother's body, but it is separate, and serious consequences can occur if the child's blood mixes with the mothers.

The first ultrasound for my 14 year old son was the most breathtaking. The ultrasound tech was able to catch so many clear shots that it was amazing. I looked at this child and clearly saw how his legs were made, how his body was built, and even what his face looked like.
My first thought, at the end of 6 months of pregnancy, was that looked just like me. When he popped out, I was right. An unbelievable experience to be sure.
It never occurred to me, though, to end his life...

Very beautiful to see you post that. I can't understand the coldness one must have in their heart to think of the child as just a ball of cells.

They aren't liberals. They are hedonists, just the same as Plato and Socrates faced. They regress to tyranny because that is the only way they can compel others to do what they, the philospher kings they think they are, think they should.
-
My mother would have been advised not to give birth to me. I was full term but underweight from malnourishment when I was born. I forget the condition that causes that, but a lot of doctors today would recommend that the pregnancy be terminated due to the fetus "not developing properly". Doctors later determined that the prenatal supplement that they had advised for mothers at the time was the problem, it was killing some babies and causing birth defects in others. I was lucky, it seems the bad stuff wasn't getting passed to me.
-
It's a baby if you want it.
That exact--EXACT--"clump of cells," however, is just a fetus if unwanted.
I'll never get used to the logical gymnastics of those two basic sentences.
-

Before the turn of the century, I would not have agreed with that, in complete seriousness. As a joke with reference to their utter lack of a clue, sure. Now, I have no choice, but to agree. They have put their faith in a necessary evil that is both, indifferent to death and ambivalent to the truth. Now, their religion demands ever greater power, more complete control. The end result can be nothing other than tyranny.

Now what I'm saying, Mrs. You're opposed to gay marriage. They don't think you should have that choice to be opposed to it. It's their way, or no way. The biggest echo chamber in the country is in the collective minds of the leftist. We have NUMEROUS differences here on the right, yet you don't see us telling each other, "enjoy your stay", etc.

Only a leftist would equate human life to "bullshit political points" As usual the "children" on the left don't like being reminded of their ghoulishness. Which party brought this topic into the election again? As I recall it was a certain former Clinton political advisor who started this bullshit.As usual you scumbags look for a wedge when you're leaders are in deep shit!

Sure. What is a life, compared to free stuff and feeling good?

I am conflicted by the sure knowledge that the world would be an immeasurably better place if the DUmpmonkeys had never been born.

It makes me wonder what it must be like for the children of people who are so adamantly for abortion.
During the pre-debate interview last night, Mrs. Genachowski said one of her smart-assed kids changed her ringtone before a Presidential briefing and her phone went off, har har har. What kind of birthday card do mothers like her send their children? "Happy birthday, you unwanted clump of cells! Love, Mom"

Exactly Smithy! These slugs are against any morals whatsoever! If it's degenerate, they're all for it! If it requires a moral choice, it's poison to them!

When morality become relative then the rule of 'Might Makes Right' becomes the only universal moral

That's true.
But it's probably okay to wish that the mother of the Die ale Sau for example had fallen down a set of stairs when pregnant with the Proud2BLibKansan primitive, sparing herself and the rest of the world.
Or the mother of the ugly depraved warped primitive, or of the skumbag primitive, or of Ms. Ed the unappellated eohippus.

That list could be a mile long! Just think how much better the world would be without NadaBraininsky or a Stinkfinger the Clown!

Well, no, I wouldn't go that far.
My Christian conscience compels me to be compassionate
So when discussing primitives who'd be better off dead--and we too, if they were dead or hadn't ever existed--I restrict myself to the bottom four of the whole lot. I can live in a world with the sparkling old dude; the oblate spheroid too but on a different continent.

I might as well ask a question. If it's so easy to say you're pro-choice, then why not have an ultrasound in the room when an abortion is being done and watch the procedure? If you feel so strongly about your beliefs then why not lay there and look at the screen? and watch your child struggle and fight to survive? after all it's just a clump of cells right? not a human being? so watch the procedure being done.

Liberal logic.
Gina, when I was still an active member of Just Mommies, some woman in my due date club said, "There are too many people in this world. People should stop reproducing." I told her if she felt the world had too many people, why did she get pregnant in the first place. Her reply was something like, 'because I wanted to have a baby'
::)

Over 44 years ago my biological parents were young and put me up for adoption at birth.
I think during my lifetime I have made a positive influence on a few people.
I was Blessed to have the opportunity at life.
