The :Language of Nothings

In order to keep abortion legal, pro-choicers have had to turn unborn children into Nothings. These Nothings are not really there at all. They are Products of Conception. They are Blobs. They are Tissue. Arms? No! Legs? No! Fingers and Toes? No, no too Human! Too much like creatures we could care about!
We talk of animals being euthanised.  Regretted deaths, as painless as possible.
But the pain of unborn children is the last big taboo in our society. No anesthesia. Doctors are not trained to euthanise unborn babies; there is no such word in obstetrics.
They don't need anesthesia! They are Nothings! A grimace? Doesn't mean Anything! Writhing? Doesn't mean Anything! And that is from Gynecologists who cannot give the doomed unborn the benefit of the grimace and the writhings and, just in case, inject some novocaine or something in the fetus. (would any of these go to a dentist who didn't use a painkiller? I would like to dare them!)
Nothings need nothing. Not even a thought of sparing pain during dismemberment. Did I say Dismember? No! It's Extraction!
According to them, I was a Nothing before I breathed. Were you?

40 Days for Life March 5th - April 13th

It is striking how much of the truth about unborn life and abortion have been revealed already, causing abortion clinics to close down.
Prayer and Fasting - two powerful weapons in this fight.
You know good people always shake their heads and say: It shouldn't happen when they see atrocities, but if the opinion shapers have the opposing view, most people will not speak out. It is very embarrassing to stick out from the crowd.
It happened with slavery...there have to have been people passing slave markets, whose hearts grieved for the poor people in chains being bought and sold, but the majority passed by, like the Levite and the Priest in the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
Abortion is an Atrocity. But dare suggest that in the public square! And Late-Term Abortion is an Atrocity that should never be allowed. Mom's life in danger - there's always C-Section! Preterm labor where the baby might not survive - give the little one a chance instead of dismembering it alive. Handicapped? There are lists of parents who would be willing to adopt handicapped children, if the parents truly can't raise the child. Oh but don't kill a child cos it is special needs!  Why? Because it is a child, one of us, and won't be given an anesthetic while being stabbed in the chest, or his or her limbs twisted off, or burned alive with Saline.

Ceasar's Thumb

Lord Nicholas Windsor's essay on the Culture of Death

http://www.firstthings.com/article/2010/11/caesarrsquos-thumb

First Things is published by The Institute on Religion and Public Life, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society.

Excerpt:

I would like to emphasize that we must never mistake the secondary effects of this moral enormity for the primary, as this would surely be to instrumentalize the victims and fail again in our duty of respect toward them. It would be an absurdity such as if the real tragedy of the Shoah were felt first of all to lie in the social consequences. No, what we must first lament is the mass destruction of human beings who had first been deemed worthless. The fact in itself is what we must keep before our eyes, before and apart from our regard to anything that may derive from it.

Fr. Gerald Wilberforce, descendant of William, on abortion

from Lifesite News.... 

William Wilberforce would be in the trenches with us, fighting to protect the unborn, if he were alive today. Indeed, his great-great-grandson, Fr. Gerald Wilberforce, recently noted that “with the passage of time we look back in horror at how we devalued human life [through slavery]. I truly believe we will look back in years to come, repent and ask forgiveness for what we let happen to the unborn child.”

'Oh Pul-eeze!'

Thank God the media are beginning to distance themselves a smidgen from the more extreme elements of the pro-choice side!

I have been on Huffington Post recently and commenting on the Wisconsin ultrasound requirement, and my I felt like I threw myself into the lion’s den.

But when I mentioned abortion survivors like Melissa Ohden, the replies were ‘oh pul-eeze’ and ‘anecdotal’ and I realized that pro-choicers do not know that there are abortion survivors and that they, with their supporters,  are maybe beginning to become a significant group of game-changers. Doubtless many pro-choicers do not want to know – but for those misguided but compassionate people who have drank the Kool-Aid, it can open their eyes.

I explained in more detail to the ‘oh pul-eezes’ etc – directing them to the website – and they had no more to say.

These survivors have a very powerful message. They were present at their mother’s choice. In many cases, as in failed surgical abortions, their mothers accepted the pregnancies eventually and a few have become their children’s champions and supporters.

I wish there was a way to publicize them more in the Media. They are living proof that there is a baby there.

Give the Wee Creature the Benefit of the Doubt

In the USA, unborn children undergoing surgery are given anesthetics because  the Science of Fetology shows that they are pain-capable.

The RCOG - Britains’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists –say that babies do not feel pain until they are born because they are not fully awake and writhing doesn’t necessarily mean pain. (2010)

But why do we even require proof of pain before administering a painkiller?  If there is any doubt at all about pain capability, if for no other reason because of our kindness and humanity, we should give the wee writhing creature the benefit of the doubt.

Writhing might mean something. Recoiling might mean something. A mouth opening wide might mean something. Rapid limb movement might mean something. Evasive actions might mean something.

The RCOG has been forced to do abortions in public hospitals since 1967. That is almost 50 years of abortion. For those doctors, perhaps the Truth is too Terrible to face.  As Lord Denning, an English Judge, said in another context (when 6 innocent men convicted of the Birmingham bombings were found to have been framed by the police) many years ago:

"This is such an appalling vista that every sensible person in the land would say that it cannot be right that these actions (i.e. allowing an appeal to overturn their convictions) should go any further."

Perhaps the RCOG feel the same way as Lord Denning.

I worked as a midwife in a public hospital in England many years ago. Every Monday was ‘termination day’. The OB/GYN came into work angry and stayed angry the entire morning. He hated Mondays for a good reason.

I will post some researched refutations of the RCOG finding.

Pray hard for Ireland - 'The Jewel in the Crown' of the Pro-life movement

Melissa Ohden, with her daughter.
Melissa survived an abortion when she was picked out of the trash
Ireland's law will target babies like Melissa.

Pray hard for the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of the Pro-life Movement

This name was given to Ireland by Planned Parenthood. But now Ireland, cracking under pressure and jibes and mockery from external and internal pro-choice groups, and aided by well-meaning but misguided people in that they have never seen film of an unborn child struggle and try to escape the curette, needle or forceps, is about to legalize abortion behind a smokescreen law. This may undo 30 years hard work of the pro-life movement. Ireland is one of the safest countries in the world to be pregnant in, and that has been shown over and over again. Safer than the USA. Safer than India.This law is a big mistake! Please pray for Ireland!
