1. It does not matter if you were on birth control, if you forgot just this once, or if you didnât think at all. It does not matter if it was your husband, your boyfriend, or someone who was really working those olive corduroy pants. You are pregnant. And you are the one that is freaking the f*** out.
2. Tell someone else who will support you. Tell a friend, a family member, post it on Reddit, or whisper it to your cat, Miss Poke. Know you are not alone in this.
3. Google is your best friend and worst enemy. Avoid any website that uses the word âlife.â They will not help you. Also avoid all images. All of them. Even if it promises to be a cartoon drawing called âOlivia the Ovary.â They will not help you either. Read medical articles. Know your options. Treat it like applying to grad school: too much information and you drown; too little information and you drown. Tread lightly.
4. Make the appointment. Donât be offended that the person on the phone doesnât give a shit. Take the nonchalance as a sign that it is no big deal. It could be a teeth cleaning. A very deep teeth cleaning.
5. The time between making the appointment and going to the appointment is the worst. Stay busy. Drink heavily. You are not showing yet. Talk to Miss Poke some more. Drink some more. You are still not showing. It will be over soon.
6. In the waiting room, donât assume anything about anyone except that they arenât assuming anything about you. Read the packets. Well, skim the packets. They will repeat it all again later.
7. It will cost around six hundred dollars. Consider the cost of raising a child. Consider the cost of that Beyoncé concert ticket you almost bought. Now, let it go.
8. Donât be offended by the leading questions. The nurses are concerned about your safety. It only sounds like a Lifetime movie. Answer honestly.
9. Technology that tells you exactly how far along you are now exists. And it is terrible. You want to be zero days along, negative days along, but listen when the nurse says, âsix weeks and five days.â Donât dwell on this number.
10. If you say nothing, you will see nothing during the ultrasound. The nurses are humans, not monsters, just like you.
11. There are going to be other people in the room. Donât wonder why one chose neon green nail polish. Donât look for fear in the eyes of the puppy dogs dotting their scrubs. Theyâre professionals. They chose to be here, just like you.
12. You know the medium-sized metal bowl you use to mix pancake batter? The bowl your parents stored Halloween candy in? That bowl will also be in the room. It is for exactly what you think it is for.
13. They are dilating you only to the size of a pencil. But it feels Montana wide and big enough to smuggle kilos of cocaine. Be in awe at the depths of your body.
14. There will be a pain like someone sucking or pulling out your insides.
15. There will be a noise like someone sucking or pulling out your insides. Be mad that the Dyson guy did not put his energies elsewhere. Focus on the classical music playing in the background. Imagine if Bach ever knew what it would be used for.
16. Tell the doctor where you work. Redefine the meaning of small talk. Listen to her as she raves about the new Vietnamese sub shop off Grand. Watch her nod at the nurses. Let her rub your arm and tell you itâs all done.
17. Feel tears well up as they remove the tools propping you open. Let the tears go. Donât sit up until they tell you. Feel lightheaded. Dress slowly and leave the room.
18. In the next room, listen to the instructions from the nurse with the soothing Caribbean accent. Assume she is in this room because of that nice accent. Eat the animal crackers. Drink the apple juice. Realize the tears were about hormones and relief. Breathe deeply.
19. Go to the bathroom and look at the chart that depicts how much blood is too much blood. Wonder at the verbiage, âa scant amount,â âa surplus.â Steal some extra pads from the basket by the door.
20. Go home. Relax. Eat a big meal. Process your emotions. Take a shower. Talk with your friends. Cry with your friends. Make inappropriate jokes about how you were âkillinâ itâ today and laugh with your friends. Eat a pound of chocolate. Listen to some Bon Iver. Take aspirin. Listen to some ABBA. Dance with Miss Poke. Watch a movie. Take your antibiotics. Buy a new dress off Zappos. Use a heating pad. Call your mom. Reread a book from your teenage years. Do whatever you want. Maybe make a list of all the things you learned.
21. Name it Chelsea.
If you are thinking of an abortion, talk to God and surround yourself with anyone and everyone who will talk you out of it!!! You would never be sorry you didn’t do it!
That’s the only advice anyone needs!
Whatever you do don’t ever consider the helpless innocent life that you are planning to extinguish.
Noted also: “First” as if to imply it is routine for subsequent abortions. ?!!?
Huh, when I got a root canal I looked at all the medical info and baby killers want women to do the opposite when it comes to abortion.
Especially images like this one:
3. Google is your best friend and worst enemy. Avoid any website that uses the word "life."
If you remember that you are destroying a human life, you might not follow through on the decision the author has made for you. She wants that baby dead, and her decision for you is not open to discussion.
4. Make the appointment . . . Take the nonchalance as a sign that it is no big deal. It could be a teeth cleaning. A very deep teeth cleaning.
It could be a tooth cleaning . . . one that kills an innocent baby, so pretend it's just cleaning teeth and the baby is spinach stuck between your teeth. And then kill the baby, so Planned Parenthood can sell the parts.
6. In the waiting room, don't assume anything about anyone except that they aren't assuming anything about you.
You're all there to kill a baby, so you're with your moral equals.
7. It will cost around six hundred dollars. Consider the cost of raising a child.
Dead children cost far less. Now, let the child you are going to call "it" go, and use the money you save to buy a new dress (see #20).
9. Technology that tells you exactly how far along you are now exists. And it is terrible . . . Don't dwell on this number.
The number is just your baby's age, but you're killing your child, so that's as old as she will ever get. Mommy decided to murder her, so don't dwell on how long she lived.
10. If you say nothing, you will see nothing during the ultrasound. The nurses are humans, not monsters, just like you.
The nurses are just there to kill your baby, same as you are. They are no more monsters than you are.
11. There are going to be other people in the room . . . They're professionals. They chose to be here, just like you.
They make money by killing babies, and you are saving money by killing your baby. You have a lot in common with them.
14. There will be a pain like someone sucking or pulling out your insides.
To be precise, your baby's insides, but think of it as removing unwanted tissue, and ignore the fact that it is actually your son, who will be cut up for parts and sold to researchers who want his human body.
17. Feel tears well up as they remove the tools propping you open. Let the tears go.
You're crying over the murder of your child. It's not that big a deal, just a human that you brought into the world and then took out of the world, that's all.
19. Go to the bathroom and look at the chart that depicts how much blood is too much blood . . . Steal some extra pads from the basket by the door.
You just killed a completely innocent and defenseless person, so a little theft is no big deal.
20. Go home . . . Eat a pound of chocolate . . . Buy a new dress off Zappos.
There's nothing like a new dress to take your mind off the loss of your baby. Think of all the money you're saving by not buying maternity clothes. Buy two dresses!
Yes, convince yourself that those tears aren't your conscience tearing your soul apart because you couldn't keep your knees together because of that guy "working those olive corduroy pants."
Make inappropriate jokes about how you were "killin' it" today and laugh with your friends.
This is just so horrible on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.
21. Hail Satan.
They say brevity is the soul of wit, and you, my friend, nailed the soulessness of this article beautifully. Should I feel bad that I LOL’ed at your comment?
Infanticide 101.
Tell her about how you murdered her grandchild.
They try to say this is just like any other surgery.
People don’t cry in sadness after a surgery. They don’t cry when a tumor is taken out, or an infected piece of the body is removed.
Why cry about it if it’s not a person and just your personal tissue? See they know and the pro-aborts know it isn’t just another medical procedure.
The insanity of living with cognitive disconnect is most evident with pro-aborts who write this crap. You see it in everything they write.
God bless you. Well said.
Where’s the Hallmark card of “You were a grandma,....but now you’re not.”
And its ardly crass, you should see the cards PP puts out.
One tip is all you needl....Don’t do it.
Tip #1 - Don’t be a murderer.
22. When it turns out that you are now infertile, and you have had the only child you were ever going to be able to have, chopped up and sold for parts, be sure to blame a Republican. Because Patriarchy.
"Murderer". That sounds so judgmental. Who are we to say that our moral choices are any better than the author's moral choices? Who are we to say that life is better than death?
The author makes a case that killing your own child is the best (cheaper, and you get to celebrate with a new dress!), as long as you don't look at anything that shows your baby in her last moments of life or listen to anyone who disagrees with the author's choice to turn your baby into used parts for Planned Parenthood to sell. Liberals assure us that all moral choices are equal - as long as the choice is not guided by Christianity.
