Baby bumbs? Why not "baby bumbs"?
September 19, 2012
(LiveActionNews.org) - Or tissue bumps, for that matter? Or even pregnancy
bumps? It is telling that the American media continually refers to famous
people’s unborn babies as just that - babies. But when these same media outlets
discuss abortion or pro-life legislation, it’s all about the fetus. When the
media wants everyday citizens to identify with and love celebrities, it
proclaims glad news about unborn babies and baby bumps. After all, even our
liberal media knows that people – most of us, anyway – love babies. But when the
media wants us to keep abortion legal, they resort to references, names, and
words that make those same unborn babies sound inhuman.
Has the American media ever
considered that, when it advocates for abortion, it advocates aborting the
babies in those celebrity “baby bumps”? Does this mean that our media
recognizes the fact that unborn babies are indeed living, unique human beings
and yet supports killing them anyway? I’d have to say the answer is yes. With
all the advances in medicine and technology, specifically, it’s impossible to
deny that an unborn baby is a separate human being.
Some liberal columnists have
come to the realization that ultrasound imaging has indeed made the humanity of
the unborn child undeniable:
… [F]amous pro-choice
journalist, Joe Klein, concedes in TIME magazine that ultrasound has changed
our understanding of the unborn. It is impossible to deny, he writes, that
‘that thing in the womb,’ he writes, ‘is a human life.’ From the earliest
stages. Joe Klein is haunted.
Robert Morrison of Family
Research Council has written an insightful article (you should read it)
concerning the abortion debate, politics, the media, and the reversal of Roe v.
Wade. He points out the hypocrisy of the mainstream media – and liberal
politicians – when it comes to the humanity of the unborn:
The mainstream media won’t
even call them unborn children. Except if they are the unborn children of an
English Duchess. Kate Middleton’s possible pregnancy has excited the tab press.
There, it’s OK to talk about a ‘baby bump.’ Or, if the unborn child is expected
by a Hollywood starlet.
Babies bump out everywhere.
Except in politics. Except in federal court briefs.
My favorite example of this
curious avoidance of the truth that everyone knows was a report by the late
Peter Jennings. The ABC News Anchor described breakthrough prenatal surgery.
‘The fetus was diagnosed with hydrocephaly, water on the brain. Doctors removed
the fetus from the mother’s womb. They put a shunt into the back of the head of
the unborn child. They returned the unborn child to the womb, where the mother
carried the fetus safely to term.’
Did we follow Peter on that
one? Fetus-unborn child-fetus. It all depended on where the human being
happened to be located. Within the womb, it was a fetus, outside the womb–even
temporarily, even preterm–it was an unborn child.
Sen. John Kerry spoke to the
problem liberals have with ‘that thing in the womb.’ In Senate debate on the
Unborn Victims of Violence Act, Kerry said we cannot simultaneously regard the
fetus as a human being and preserve ‘a woman’s right to choose.’ Kerry voted
that the child in the womb is therefore not a human being. It is the same
position that state Senator Barack Obama took in Illinois.
So John Kerry – and a host
of other politicians and media members – would rather deny actual facts for the
sake of blindly supporting an ever-expanding and ill-defined “right” that isn’t
actually a right. What? A mother’s right to kill her own child? What civilized
society would ever recognize that? Oh, right. Only a society that has gone so
far as to deny the truth of science and medicine, brought to our very eyes by
amazing technology. Only a society that would reject plain common sense for
deceit and convenience. Only a society that would choose convenient lies over
the established truth. American society.
So while it may be
encouraging on one level to hear the media blither happily on about baby bumps
and expected “children,” it’s also extremely discouraging that these same
people can so easily support the killing of these same babies. Listen to these
comments from the media (emphasis mine):
The 32-year-old former
“Girls Next Door” and “Holly’s World” star is expecting her first child…
“Hawaii-Five 0” star Alex
O’Loughlin is preparing for baby. On Tuesday, a rep for the actor confirmed to
Access Hollywood that Alex is expecting a child with his girlfriend…
With less than two months
until Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi baby boy is due to arrive, the first-time mom is
feeling the pressure…
But when the mother wants an
abortion, the baby is often demoted to fetus status. Demotion to fetus status
means one thing: you are ripe for killing. Does it really make women feel
better to know that our children are called “babies” and “children” when we
want them, but “fetuses,” “products of conception,” and “tissue” when we don’t
want them? Do we really need a cover like that to exercise our true rights? I
think not. I know not. As a woman, I reject the cover of lies that the
mainstream media and liberal politicians continually use on us.
Women, when you have an
abortion, you are killing your baby. Yes, your baby. No matter how many ways
the media and politicians try to spin the truth, we know as women that the
babies growing inside us are our own children. Children who deserve nothing but
our love and protection – no matter how they were conceived.
