Today my wife and I saw the first ultrasound. There were all the necessary appendages and parts that make...well...a human. That was a human on that screen. A human. It rang throughout my head repeatedly while we watched that little bundle of "cells" roll around in there. That simply does not look like just a little bundle of cells. It isn't: it's a human being with the ability to move and interact with outside forces. When we tried to look at the face it intentionally turned away from the sensor that allows you to see the baby and wouldn't turn back around again allowing us only to see the back. I can see the Thompson obstinance surfacing already.
How can our nation allow, condone and defend the blatant and obvious killing of the unborn? What is wrong with us? How can this happen? That is all I thought about when we were looking at that screen. My wife and the midwife were cooing about how I must be excited that that was my baby. Sure. It's my baby. I'm having a baby (via my wife of course). I'm totally adjusted to that fact. Of course it's my baby. I wasn't thinking about it being my baby but was thinking rather about the fact that there was no possible way of believing that it could be anything else than an obviously human baby!
Simply seeing that ultrasound made it all the more obvious. This lends credence to the clear statistic: most women who see an ultrasound don't get abortions. No wonder the abortionists are scared of the ultrasound. It is simply too obvious that what's in that womb is not just a biological ordeal. It is clearly not just another machine among more machines. Naturalism simply doesn't hold up under the ultrasound.
This simply must stop. I am on the verge of being prepared to do whatever is necessary (shy of taking away more human lives) to defend the unborn human lives that are shamelessly destroyed every day.
If it does not stop there is only one obvious result: human life will be devalued to the point that MY life will no longer hold any value and YOUR life will no longer hold any value. This is naturalism pure and simple, the belief that life is simply just a pile of pulsating flesh and nothing more, that it is just a machine.
We must not stand by watching friends,
