The 'Coercive'
Truth
by
Jack Kinsella
Sunday, March 13, 2005
A new imaging
technology just developed has pro-abortion forces literally screaming,
"No fair!" and calling its use by pro-life advocates 'coercive'.
It is called 4D imaging, and it allows doctors and parents to look
inside the womb of a pregnant woman and see the image of a baby in
"real-time 4D" rather than the more difficult
to read traditional "2D" image.
The clarity of the image resembles a high quality photograph. That's
what has the pro-abortion lobby screaming its head off. It is now
possible to 'see' the baby in the womb. It isn't a case of simply
interpreting fuzzy images on a screen that resembles a 1980s video game
anymore.
The 4D images show a picture of the baby itself. The baby's facial
expressions are clear to the untrained eye; the baby can be seen
smiling, sucking its thumb, and expressing emotions like surprise or
fear. The parents can watch the baby move and kick and stretch and yawn
-- and suddenly, it isn't a blob of amorphous tissue anymore.
It's a baby.
According to the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade, "We need not resolve the
difficult question of when life begins." It referred to the unborn
child as "potential life" that is unworthy of legal protection until
the moment of birth.
That all changes when a woman views a 4D ultrasound image of her child.
Ultrasound technology shows the child as fully human and unique. A
British ultrasonographer has collected images of unborn children from
the 12th week walking, leaping, stretching and kicking in the womb.
Susanne Martinez, vice president of public policy at the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America, told The New York Times that the use
of such images by pregnancy centers "is coercive."
In an unintentionally candid statement, Martinez accidently let her
slip show.
"From the time they walk into these centers, they are inundated with
information that is propaganda and that has one goal in mind. And that
is to have women continue with their pregnancies."
Got it? From Martinez' perspective, when women are persuaded to
continue with their pregnancies and not to seek abortions, it is a bad
thing.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America -- formerly the
National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League said that
ultrasounds have medical legitimacy, but "shouldn't be misused to
badger or coerce women by these so-called crisis pregnancy centers."
The sonogram cannot 'badger or coerce' anyone. It is a picture. It may
be a picture of a living being, but it is, itself, a picture, an
inanimate thing, incapable of doing anything more than transmit
accurate information. An eyewitness account, so to speak.
Accurate information has no agenda, it simply is. What scares the
pro-death crowd is the fact that once women see the baby living in
their womb, abortion is revealed for what it is -- the murder of a
living human being.
Since virtually every woman who has seen the 4D sonogram has expressed
horror at the idea of going ahead with abortion plans, one has to
wonder about those who do NOT.
The Nancy Keenans and Susanne Martinez' of this world who know the
truth, but refuse to acknowledge it. The kinds of people who, having
seen the truth, want to suppress it for fear the truth might be
'coercive'.
Stop right there for a second and think that statement through with me.
Consider the state of doublespeak that exists when such a statement can
be uttered by a national figure without comment.
Nobody is alleging the 4D photos are NOT accurate representations of
the baby. The accuracy is unchallenged. They are 'coercive' because
they are TOO accurate.
In a nutshell, 4D sonogram imaging exposes the abortion lobby for what
it is.
It still stuns me, even after more than thirty years, that there can BE
a pro-abortion lobby. As a father, I never questioned what was in the
womb -- it was a baby from the second the doctor announced the funeral
arrangements for the rabbit.
When the baby kicked, I used to try and picture it turning, rolling
over; I couldn't imagine how anybody could doubt that life begins at
conception.
But more than that, I was once a baby, and before that, I did my time
in the womb. If my mother had been in an automobile accident, for
example, and her 'fetus' sustained injury, would my body not bear those
scars a half-century later?
How could anyone argue that there was a time when they existed in the
womb, but then argue they weren't them, yet? It makes one's head swim.
The abortion fight is nasty beyond comprehension, because the fight is
over a practice so hideous that I've never heard it described in public
-- by either side. No national news network would carry it for the same
reason they wouldn't broadcast a video tape of an actual suicide or
murder.
In the 21st century, the 'truth' isn't what's true. It is what people
want to BELIEVE is true. Because the pro-death lobby WANTS to believe
they are acting in the best interests of women's rights, no amount of
evidence can convince them to the contrary. No 'women's-rights' group
of which I am aware has ever openly said what women demand the right TO.
We hear all the time about a 'woman's right to choose' but NEVER in the
context of whether or not to choose to do the deed that creates
pregnancy. A woman's 'right to choose' involves the right to kill the
product of the act of choice that created it in the first place.
The New York Times reported on the new technology:
"A survey by the Heidi Group, a Christian evangelical nonprofit
organization that advises such centers on fund-raising and
administration, found that those using counseling alone reported
persuading 70 percent of women considering abortion to abandon the
idea. In centers with ultrasound machines, that number jumped to 90
percent, said Carol Everett, the group's chief executive."
The pro-abortion lobby is terrified of the new 4D sonogram technology
because it will afford women the right to make an INFORMED choice -- so
much for the 'pro-choice' label.
There is only one 'choice' they support. And if there is only one
acceptable 'choice' -- is that not the equivalent to no choice at all?
Consider this gem of doublespeak, also from the New York Times article:
""Many of the groups that oppose abortion also oppose the birth control
pill and most forms of contraception, except maybe rhythm method," said
Ms. Martinez of Planned Parenthood."We're very concerned about what
they do. It's part of the constant battle to keep the facts out in the
public."
Note that this comment comes from one of the most vocal opponents of
allowing prospective abortion clients from learning any facts about the
baby they are about to kill.
We live in an age of double-speak that would have surprised even George
Orwell. In his landmark book, "1984", one of Orwell's characters tells
another;
"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of
thought? In the end we shall make thought crime, literally impossible,
because there will be no words in which to express it. . . Has it ever
occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest,
not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a
conversation as we are having now?"
In this generation, it is a crime to speak out against homosexuality.
Christianity is hateful, and the Bible is 'hate-speech'.
Abortion is 'progressive' and is enshrined as a human 'right' while the
human against which this 'right' is being exercised is hidden behind a
veil in the name of "the fight to keep the facts out in the public," to
quote Planned Parenthood. (How's that again?)
The label, 'Fundamentalist Christian' is a pejorative euphemism for
'fanatic'. 'Truth' is 'coercive' while admitted deception is
characterized as an effort to preserve 'facts'.
And the people who favor an alternative to abortion are pasted with the
negative label of 'anti-abortion' while those who favor no choice at
all enjoy the label, 'pro-choice'.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come,"
writes the Apostle Paul.
Indeed. In this generation, the only thing as perilous as being in the
womb is being too helpless to plead for your own life.
Ask Terri Schiavo.
"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination
unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT
BLOOD . . ." (Proverbs 6:16)
