She’s Having a Fetus
Evangelical Outpost ^ | 12-3-2004 | Evangelical Outpost

Posted on 12/16/2004 6:28:24 AM PST by Jeff Blogworthy

Overheard at a local shopping mall:

Jan: “Marsha! How are you girl? I haven’t seen you in ages.”
Marsha: “Hey Jan, you’re looking great. How’ve you been?”

Jan: “Just peachy. Hey, guess what? I’m going to have a fetus!"
Marsha (excited): “That’s wonderful! Oh, I’m so happy for you. Now we both have parasites growing in us.”
Jan: “Yeah, but you’re having twins. I’m so jealous.”
Marsha: “Oh, I only have one now. Greg didn’t get his promotion so we decided to selectively reduce one of them.”

Jan: “Aww...well, that’s a valid choice. I was hoping to have two fetuses because this one is going to be used to harvest organs for Alice. It took us forever to find an IVF facility that would help us with a ‘designer fetus’
Marsha: “I’m glad everything worked out. So when is it due?”
Jan: “My doctor says I’ll be delivering sometime in July.”

Marsha: “No, I mean when’s it due to become a human.”
Jan: “Oh, well, Bobby and I draw the line sometime within the first few weeks after birth.”
Marsha: “Hmm, Greg and I think it occurs in the third trimester but I can respect that. It’s a valid choice.”
Jan: “Hey, what happened to Cindy? I heard she was having complications with her pregnancy. Did she ever deliver her fetus?”

Marsha: “She did. Back in September. But the baby was born retarded so, you know, she did the right thing and took a trip to Holland.”
Jan: “That is so like Cindy. She has always been so compassionate.”
Marsha: “Oh, I know. She was really thinking about the child. I mean, what kind of quality of life would it have?”

Jan: “Exactly. It’s just a shame that she has to go all the way to Europe.”
Marsha: “Tell me about it. Until we get rid of Hitler, though, that’s what we have to put up with. At least Cindy has the money to travel. Just think about the poor women that have to resort to back-alley euthanasia.”
Jan: “You know, I cried for two weeks after that evil man was reelected.”
Marsha: “Me too, girlfriend. I don’t know what those Red State voters were thinking.”
Jan (mockingly): “The election was about moral values.

Marsha (rolling her eyes): “Yeah, some values they stand for.”
Jan: “Hey, I hate to run but I have to finish up my Christmas shopping. You know, it's depressing how commericalized the holidays have become.”
Marsha: "Haven't they, though? People have completely forgotten the 'reason for the season.' Well, it was great seeing you again. Give me a call sometime."
Jan: "I'll do that. Hope you have a great Christmas."

Marsha: "You too. Bye."

Sad, but probably true.

"Now we both have parasites growing in us."

I went to that link and...words just fail me. What's just as weird is the slogan there reading "Abortion is not a sin".

If you don't believe in sin, or don't believe abortion in particular is a sin, why bring it up? I've never heard anybody walk around saying, "Elk hunting is not a sin".

I have to think they know it's wrong but just can't admit it.

Every time I hear logic like this I wonder if that's how those of this mindset try comforting mothers with stillborn children. "I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, but hey, it wasn't a real person anyway, right? so cheer up, you haven't lost anything!"

Yes, Jeff, they do. I have worked with and heard exactly those words, or 'it was just a blob of tissue' spoken as the woman recovers or is in the process of losing her child. By a Catholic. In a Catholic Hospital. By several people, for many years.

Worse, the baby that was cut out of her mother's uterus after she was murdered was and is called a 'fetus' and did not qualify to be reported on the Amber alert!! It took hard work to get that child announced on Amber alert network because they called it, still call her a 'fetus'.

She was put on... she was found... two people in custody...someone 'several states away' reported the info needed to find the baby... watch the news for more.

When Yahoo had its clubs several years back (about 2000), I sometimes snooped at one called Abortion Celebration--if you can believe that name. These are some of the quotes I found at that club all except the last one which was posted at a pro-life club. Anyway, it was a real eye opener. Don't read if you are easily offended.

"I agree a woman should have the right to abortion on demand at any time during her pregnancy."

"BEFORE my last abortion I was given a 9 page report on my options. . ."

"I have never been in that position, but considering how little thought it takes to f__k, you should put just about that much consideration into aborting, because childbirth ain't some magical thing. It's the result of f__king. If it was so f__king magical, sex would last longer than it does (for many people, heheheh)."

"I feel no regret for the two abortions I have had."

"We need to start enacting some Social Darwinism here. We are the only animals that do not have natural enemies, nor destroy derformed young. And yes, we ARE animals. We ARE primates."

"When I suffered a positive pregnancy test in the summer of 1991, I did not for one second even consider any option except the abortion of the cancerous mass from my body."

"When I refer to a child in that way, it's bratty little bastards with mothers who think they're entitled to some sort of special treatment just because they accomplished a task that I do several times weekly, which is F__K."

"I call children crotch fruit, snot goblins, f__k-trophies, sproglinas, vomit comets, etc., because most of them ARE!"

"This is why I want my uterus ripped out and deposited in the nearest trashcan."

"Yeah, I just LUVS when my body balloons up to Jabba the Hut size, only to s__t out something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a lemon! WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?! There are reasons why I want a tubal ASAP."

"yeah, okay...I get jealous when people get all sorts of special treatment for a bodily function."

"Just start rubbing your tummy and loudly say, "Ulcer wants Pepto!!!" Or run potty saying happily, "Butt wants a dumpie!!"

"The baby does not really feel it and its fast! There are enough of us stupidcruel people anyway. We need to stop worrying about us and worry more about animals. I mean look at us taking away their life for cloths, food, beat'n fun and all. They have feelings and feel pain too! So abortion is so good! We dont need more people to come on earth to abuse our fellow earthlings! Its a cruel word out there! Jen. ABORTION RULES BABIES SUCK!"

It is a real convo. It's just not word-for-word, nor is it reflective of just one convo, but piecemeal of what our world says today.
