Rorschach test for the Culture of Death
I have seen several reports around the blogs on Tom Cruise and his buying an ultrasound machine.
Walters then asked him, "So what do you see?" and he answered "a little baby."
I think that the ultrasound machine is the Rorschach test for the Culture of Death. Some can look at the ultrasound picture and see a baby, while others can see a tissue mass. Though this isn't consistent. Some can see a baby at one time while seeing a fetus at another. This seems to be contingent on the element of wantedness. Just the right amount of wantedness and the picture automatically transforms from just a tissue to a baby with no adjustment of the controls required. Of course NARAL which once called the 3D ultrasound a weapon, because people can't handle the truth (yes mandatory Tom Cruise movie tie in).

That's funny, I was just thinking about this today, too. Not Tom Cruise, but that wantedness makes the difference between a baby being a baby, and people thinking it's not. A friend is pregnant, and they discovered a problem with the brain early on. The obgyn's have been 'encouraging' her to excercise her option of abortion, "all personal feelings aside" they said when she objected.
However, when she went into premature labor yesterday, she was visited by a neonatologist (who specializes in saving little babies) and she (the doctor) referred to the baby as a baby.
So I think there is a line there between obgyns and neonatologists too, a dichotomy. I wonder what they do in med school during those classes. "OK, the obgyns on the left and we'll talk about terminating, you neonatologist go on the right, and we'll talk about saving the littlest of the little." Weird.
Nancy, I just said a prayer for that little baby, your friend and you. She should be surrounded by just that -- prayer and encouragement.
I think your comment about the ultrasound machine being the Rorschach test is born out by the fact that pro-life groups have been lobbying to have them put into abortion clinics while Planned Parenthood and the like have been successful at keeping them out. This is a battle that is not much publicized (and I wish I could remember where I saw several news articles about it at one time) but valid for proving the point.
And, I agree that mindset is all in how one refers to a baby. But when faced with incontrovertible evidence of ultrasound it has changed many mothers' minds when they were leaning toward abortion. A picture is worth a thousand words, eh?
I am aware that the group 'Focus on the Family' is committed to providing ultrasound machines to Crisis Pregnancy Centers for counseling the truth regarding life.
Following up on Julie and Karen, have you heard about abortionist types (pro-choicers and planned parenthooders, etc.) leading a campaign to STOP crisis pregnancy centers from using ultrasounds (ostensibly on the grounds that such centers are NOT clinics and the personnel are not medical personnel qualified to operate such equipment) It is maddening, but it has been a long time since their audacity has surprised me anymore!
Planned Parenthood runs the culture, they can (literally) get away with murder.
I just take hope on the fact that the infrastructure of Planned Parenthood will collapse in on itself under the weight of its sins. Its sins are of the worse kind- murder. The blood of the innocent babes cries out for revenge to the Lord.
Hi. I feel very strongly that change is good because it stirs up the system.
I am from Zambia and learning to speak English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "The money was a 16-by-28-foot asset that earned a number efficient, next pips, and withdraw and system construction concepts, fully not as going legal index laws, analyst stock picks."
