Ode to one’s birth control pill: avoidance of abortion… not that abortion is bad
I found this strange little ode to a birth control pill on ProChoiceThankYous.com.
Aside from the fact the author, Sobdee X, is apparently ignorant of the fact Lutera can abort, she has a real hard time when getting to the reason she loves her birth control pill – because it avoids her an apparent repeat abortion (“another appointment”).
Not that what the abortion does bothers her, she wants us to know, it’s just the procedure itself that scares her, “the consequences her poor body would face.”
Although I thought there were no consequences to abortion. And why then the “heavy heart” from her “empty uterus”? And what in the world does “phantom blood on the walls” mean? Her phantom dead baby? coming back to haunt her?
We need a Part II!
Love/Thank you Letter to Lutera®
Lutera®, Lutera®,
I love you so much.
Each delicious pill on my tongue’s
like a angel’s touch.
You protect my eggs
from invading sperm
and your delightful side effects
make my breasts sore and firm.
Lutera®, Lutera®,
what would I do
if i skipped a day, a pill, or two?
I know exactly the terrible fate,
the consequences my poor body would
face.
Another appointment.
Those long gray halls.
That terrible waiting room,
phantom blood on the walls.
Legs splayed open.
Vacuumed out.
Though tears may fall,
it’s from fear, not doubt.
An empty uterus.
A heavy heart.
Antibiotics.
Updated medical chart.
But psh!
No way!
Uh uh!
Not me!
I’ve got my Lutera®
and she’s got me.
So every night
at 10:02,
I pull out my pack
and I swallow. Not chew.
That’s all i got now!
I pill and I pray
that you, my Lutera
is as effective as they say..

Wish she could remember to close her legs!
Gag. Tacky, tacky, tacky. Oh, and did I mention it’s TACKY?
Each delicious pill on my tongue’s
like a angel’s touch.
This particular part makes a mockery of angels.
i really thought i was beyond being shocked or even surprised anymore , but i was wrong . this is just weird and very very creepy . St. Michael , St. Gabriel , St. Raphael pray for us all especially the babies , on this your feast day , Amen.
St. Michael , St. Gabriel , St. Raphael pray for us all especially the babies , on this your feast day , Amen.
AMEN to that prayer most definitely.
I was reminded of this saint:
St. Gianna Beretta Molla PRAY FOR US
Lutera, lutera, my friend not my foe,
I’ll love you and take you wherever I go,
It’s always the fix, it’s always a breeze,
But these clots in my lungs are making me wheeze,
My stomach is churning, it won’t go away,
My mind is quite fuzzy, is it night, is it day?
My head won’t stop pounding, my heart goes ‘flip-flop’
I’m sad all the time, It won’t seem to stop.
It doesn’t improve when I think of the child
I had suctioned out
My depression’s not mild.
My legs were splayed open,
A curette stuck way in,(but no trans vag sono, you know that’s a sin!!)
A shot to the cervix, the vacuum’s loud roar,
A script, more Lutera, and shoved out the door
I’m not sure what to do with the sadness I feel,
But buck up little camper, depression’s not real!
Did I say “tears fell”? , did I say “heavy heart”
Did a ‘painless procedure’ really tear me apart?
But shhh! Don’t tell! Don’t cry! Not me!
Cause my pro abort buddies said
“That’s not the way it will be”
Don’t give fuel to the foe,
Don’t give rise to the voices,
Don’t tell them that sometimes
There are really BAD choices.
So lutera, lutera,
Be kind to my liver,
Don’t make me stroke out,
Or my gall bladder quiver.
I don’t want any rules,
I ‘ll hold on to my vice
Even if in the end
My heart pays the price.
What a sick site. A bunch of letters thanking an abortionist.
justlookingon–You’re right.
Re: Mother in Texas’ comment on angel’s touch:
Remember, always, that the demons are all angels. They are just fallen. So it’s surely an angel’s touch; it’s just the evil kind, who can also appear to be so beautiful. (Lucifer was the most beautiful angel in Heaven before his fall.)

Yes, I realize the demons were angels, too. But when you see “angel’s touch” the image it invokes is not that of a demon, but of a HEAVENLY angel, which is what I was responding to.
Justlookingon,
Ooooh. You are talented!!
I like it.
;) thanks, Carla. Just a little ditty. I did forget the following line —-
the pro aborts say, “this is all about you –
when we give information, just swallow, don’t chew!”
I would agree with mama3…protection “from invading sperm”….hmmmm…
I don’t think they were invaders…they were “guests”. If you don’t open the gates, the invaders won’t get in. “Guests” on the other hand are welcome.
I heart little ditties.
Ignore the pain
Your head we fill
Swallow the lies
Swallow the pill
If you ever hurt
about the killing
Don’t call us for help
We aren’t willing
We care about women
We care we say
Will that be Visa or Mastercard
today?
Carla,
You’re talented, too.
I love it justlookingin and Carla! You guys rock! When you get a chance jli reprint your poem with the added lines. I have a couple of dittys I thought of:
Pro-choice means choosing:
Cervical Dilation
Curette Mutilation
Vacuum Cannulation
Suction Evacuation
Fetal Parts Observation
Garbage Incineration
Women deserve better than abortion, (choosing to kill their unborn babies).
Carla -Love it!
I popped over to the site to take a peek. Here’s some of what I found.
“I swear I thought about killing myself just so I wouldn’t have to endure it”
“We have honesty and faith and trust and statistics and sympathy on our side. And what do they have? Rhetoric” {she was going on about how wonderful and loving pro aborts are which brings to mind this quote from the ”abortioneers” blog that I’ve seen floating around (tell me if you feel the love) - “i hate those f—— right wing christian groups, be they fundamngelicals, or crotch sniffing catholics.” ]
“ I must say I don’t know how I survived that procedure and I have no idea how you perform them every day.”
“…Because abortion is such a quiet, dirty thing. No one wants to remain silent but we don’t want to shout it from the roof tops either.”
“The hardest decision to make while a ticking time bomb—with parental notifications, and trimester calendars, fear of future infertility—counts down inside of your body. ”
“I couldn’t possibly have been a mother at that age….even though I sometimes take a moment, thinking that now at age 36 I could have an 18 yr old….Thank you for helping me know that giving birth in a foreign country at that age wasn’t the right decision” [this speaks to lingering regret – and who made the ‘choice’……her or the doctor?]
Anyway, the fundamental question that i ask, and that will never be answered by a pro abort is, if abortion is such a wonderful thing, if it empowers women, if a woman’s right to choose trumps a baby’s right to live, etc. and so on, why is it such a hard choice as described by the pro aborts above? It should be as easy as choosing what to wear in the morning. “oops, I’m pregnant – no worry, gonna head for the abortion clinic”……why all the tears, and soul searching, and ‘prayers’, and agonizing, and REGRET?
sidewalk protesters may make a woman uncomfortable for the 90 seconds it takes to walk past them, but pro aborts supply them with a lifetime of regret (well, maybe not for about 96 teenagers) So, who’s hating on whom?
One of the letters said:
“and I watched terrified, trapped women come in with their lives falling apart.”
So aborting the baby mean they weren’t “Terrifed” or “Trapped” and “their lives” WEREN’T “falling apart” anymore?
I’ve read some of the other letters on that site. I just see so much PAIN! They think they’ve “escaped” something “worse”, but all I see is underlying pain…and more pain. Maybe they’re not aware of it, but it’s there, underneith all the “thank yous” and vague senses of “relief”. It resounds in almost every single sentence and almost every single word.
Here it is Prolifer L – with all the lines. Like your ditties - concise and to the point!

Awesome justlookingin. Love it.
Glad I no longer have to worry about that mess
I’m living a life of post-menopausal zest!
If abortion’s a “terrible fate,” it’s not a choice. Freedom. Woo hoo.
Great talents here!!
I agree. Awesome poetry about a terrible thing.
the world is a very sick place these days….
I had posted this about a year ago but here is a link to a song I wrote about the abortion experience. The lyrics are hard to hear so I wrote out the words below
Step, right in? miss. Please have a seat.
Sign these papers that you agree, to terminate your pregnancy.
And murder, the baby. Don’t murder the baby.
Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t murder, the baby.
Lie down on the gurnee. Raise up your knees.
We’re going to start an IV. Let us know if you feel any pain.
While we murder, the baby. Don’t murder the baby. Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t murder, the baby.
We won’t leave no baby ears. No baby eyes no little baby nose.
No itsy bitsy baby fingers. No cute little baby toes.
When we murder, the baby.? Don’t murder the baby. Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t murder, the baby.
You won’t have to know. We’ll turn the ultrasound from your face.
So when we grab your baby. You won’t see her little heart beat race.
While we murder, the baby. Don’t murder the baby. Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t murder, the baby.
Take some more of these pills. They make the baby come real fast.
Looks like the abortionist is gonna be late. We’ll stuff your baby in a plastic bag.
When we murder, the baby. Don’t murder the baby. Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t murder, the baby.
Slide? the scissors up the spine. To the bottom of the baby’s head.
Poke them in, then open wide. Suck your baby’s brains out until he’s dead.
When we murder, the baby. Don’t murder the baby. Don’t murder, the baby. Don’t MURDER, MURDER, MURDER the baby.

“why all the tears, and soul searching, and ‘prayers’, and agonizing, and REGRET?”
Just because something is right, doesn’t necessarily make it an easy choice. The only difference between a wanted pregnancy and an unwanted one is the woman’s feelings on the matter. Since different women have different feelings, for some it is a hard decision. Not to mention the social pressures she’s probably getting from both sides of the debate, which can make it hard to discern if it’s what she wants, or if it’s just what she thinks she’s ‘supposed’ to do.
And unfortunately, there are some women who don’t want to abort, but get forced into it, either by social pressures or financial ones. Those are truly tragic, no matter what side of the debate you’re on.
Jayn,
Do you mean that abortion is a right choice or that abortion is a right?
Take your pick.
The only difference between a wanted pregnancy and an unwanted one is the woman’s feelings on the matter.
Jayn,
If you’ve been pregnant, you know exactly what the problem with feelings are in terms of pregnancy. A good number of feelings during pregnancy (and even when not pregnant) are fueled by hormones. And hormones aren’t always the most reliable when it comes to what women feel.
I think in the case of pregnancy a woman can’t go by her feelings. Because one day she may really “want” the baby the next day she might not.
In the end you have to go with what’s right (life) and picking the life-giving choice, whether that means keeping the baby, putting the baby up for adoption and/or getting good counsel and/or help and support.
Um. No.
Just because something is right, doesn’t necessarily make it an easy choice.
Explain this please.
This is what justlookingon said

Abortion is sold as “no big deal.” If that were true why all the tears and regret that some women experience?
“Just because something is right, doesn’t necessarily make it an easy choice”
IF something’s right, it WILL make the choice easier.
We both know that abortion is a very emotionally charged issue, and it’s entirely possible for a woman to have conflicting emotions about it. For some women, it is no big deal. Others have to do more work to figure out if it’s the right choice for them or not. Especially when the judgments come flying in about what she should or shouldn’t do (Abortion is wrong, you won’t be a fit mother, you deserve this, etc). A woman might find herself trying to talk herself into an abortion/carrying to term, when it’s not really what she wants, but what she is told is ‘right’ by others. I’ve had similar arguments with myself over far more trivial issues–why would something as important as this be different in that regard?
Having a child is a life-changing event, and if a woman isn’t sure she wants to or not, she SHOULD take some time to think about it, not jump to a decision. Abortion, as a procedure, isn’t a big deal. As a decision to be made, that’s not always the case. Especially in this political climate.
wonders if Justlookingon is writing song lyrics professionally.
That was a fast response to the lutera post and well appreciated by this pharmacist, who is seeing plenty of young women admitted to the hospital due to thrombotic events. There is a very significant association of this with use of the pill.
Some women may try to convince themselves its no big deal. And that may work for them, for a few days, for a few years… but sooner or later, you bury another family member and walk around the funeral home in a daze, and then realize: that little one was a member of this family, our family, my family, the human family.
Hi Jayn,
Abortion, as a procedure, isn’t a big deal.
If you are speaking from experience, then that is your assessment of your own abortion.
My abortion was a very big deal. One of the most horrifying things that has ever happened to me.
A woman might find herself trying to talk herself into an abortion/carrying to term, when it’s not really what she wants, but what she is told is ‘right’ by others. I’ve had similar arguments with myself over far more trivial issues–why would something as important as this be different in that regard?
What a woman WANTS versus what is RIGHT may be 2 entirely different things.
I may not have wanted to have oral surgery on my mouth, but it was what was RIGHT for my health. (not that oral surgery is necessarily as emotional as abortion, but I’m just showing that what a person wants versus what is right may not always coincide).
I may not have WANTED to be in the hospital when I was 6 1/2 years old, but it was what was RIGHT to save my life.
A woman may not WANT to be pregnant, but abortion is NOT right over all.
Pharmer:
I haven’t quit my day job. :)
Jayn.
I am referring to all activist pro aborts who want to tell us over and over that women don’t regret having abortions. They quote statistics, make websites, pay for favorable research – and then they want to say pro lifers should not counsel women because this difficult and personal decision is nobody’s business. I have illustrated this point by quoting different blog posts where the owner says how much she “loves” abortion. Even the ridiculous “Lutera” poem speaks of a woman’s regret. Heavy heart? Tears? Terrible fate? Terrible waiting room? Empty uterus?
Therefore, please explain to me – If women don’t regret having an abortion, why are they saying these things AFTER the fact. Sometimes YEARS after the fact. Abortion is not a soul saving, life affirming choice. It is bad. It is bad to kill a human.
ninek and mother in Texas. couldn’t agree more with your last comments.
I raised my children to be acutely aware of the difference between a ‘want’ and a ‘need’.
In this country, in this day and age (or any day and age, for that matter)no one NEEDS to abort a baby. Even the clinical term ELECTIVE confirms this. Elective means the procedure is not necessary. All the drivel about “I would have killed myself if I had been forced to carry a pregnancy to term” is some of the most selfish, self-serving, self centered crap I have ever heard.
um…..that last part was a little harsh. I’m not without compassion people struggling with mental health issues and/or despair. I reach out to them whenever I can…..but when your really boil it down, suicide is one of the ultimate selfish acts. The other being consenting to aborting your own child. So I am not suprised when a selfish person justifies one with the possibility of the other. God help them.
