Lunch Break: Baby survives morgue refrigerator
by LauraLoo

I have to admit this is one of my greatest fears and have to believe other people think likewise. What if the medical professional who declares you dead ends up being wrong and there you are, stuffed in a refrigerator?

Jill,
This reminds me, you posted a few years ago the story of the woman who was told her baby had no chance, but she just wanted to hold her baby anyway. After the baby just wouldn’t die, they hospital finally decided to treat her. She went home a few months later weighing 8 lbs!

Lunch baby? Refrigerator? Jill, are you trying to be punny? This is a bit dark don’t you think? :(
Ezek 16:4-6 4 And as for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt or swaddled with bands at all.
5 No eye pitied you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for your person was abhorrent and loathsome on the day that you were born.
6 And when I passed by you and saw you rolling about in your blood, I said to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I said to you still in your natal blood, Live! AMP
LauraLoo, I saw this yesterday on AOL/Huffington post, and thought of you. (I was lazy) and didn’t do anything, but figured you’d find it. :)
What if the medical professional who declares you dead ends up being wrong and there you are, stuffed in a refrigerator?
Then hope you have some warm clothes and some good eats and drinks in that fridge.
Hard to believe that the PROFESSIONALS would declare a child dead when she was not.
I heart miracles!!
Hi Doug.
Doug,
Thanks for thinking of me, even though you didn’t do anything. ;)
More than clothes/eats/drinks, I would like some oxygen.
Another child God miraculous allowed to survive – the reason for the post.
LauraLoo
Oh and Doug?
I like you too.
But I refuse to discuss abortion with you.
Been there. Done that. Bought the tshirt.
Doug,
I don’t like you. I don’t like anyone who thinks it would’ve been legally permissible to have my daughter killed in utero.
Carla – you’re right – this was tending toward a miracle.
LauraLoo – good point about oxygen. That and maybe a nice Creme Brulee…
Xalisae, it *was* legally permissable for you to have an abortion. I’m glad you had your choice. You were free to continue the pregnancy, or to end it, as you saw fit.
Yeah. And there you go. I don’t like anyone who values the life of my child(ren) so very pathetically little. Feel free to thank me for toning it down to “I don’t like you.”-it’s a mild paraphrase of how I actually feel about you. You can attempt to be as cool and suave as you like, but snakes can seem pretty calm, too. Just don’t ask me what I would do to one if it ever bit my child.
That’s not the way it is, X. You wanted to have kids, and in no way am I saying your kids are worthless nor anything else that’d you feel was negative.
How would you feel if somebody had forced you to have an abortion?
Then you can understand why women don’t want to be forced, either way, and why pro-choicers don’t want them to be, either.
That’s not the way it is, X. You wanted to have kids, and in no way am I saying your kids are worthless nor anything else that’d you feel was negative.
I beg to differ. That is MOST CERTAINLY the way it is, since at the time I was pregnant with my daughter-the only time in my life abortion was ever presented to me AT ALL-I did not want to have children. I would rather have had a child with someone who wanted to have a child with me, quite a bit later in my life. I thought that was what I had at the time, but finding his feelings after becoming pregnant made me not want to be pregnant anymore; and at least not by him. But guess what-TOO FLIPPIN’ BAD FOR ME! What I wanted does not mean my daughter’s life has less value or that it’s okay to view her life as disposable, as you are clearly doing here, and continually insist on defending this view to me after years and years and years. You honestly can not fathom how outraged your callous and flippant attitude toward this issue and by proxy my child’s life makes me at you. You really can’t.
How would you feel if somebody had forced you to have an abortion?
Umm…like my child had been killed, because she had if that were the case, and that is not fair TO HER. That’s what you don’t get: This isn’t about me, or any other pregnant woman. It’s about the life of the children.
No, I can’t understand how any parent can take a stand against their child and demand the legal ability to kill that child, and I don’t ever, EVER want to be able to do so, because then I’ll be just as depraved as you lot.
Lunch baby? Refrigerator? Jill, are you trying to be punny? This is a bit dark don’t you think?
I am absolutely certain that was an unintentional typo. I have corrected it.
Please do not assume the worst every time you see something that doesn’t look right, people. Good grief.
Did I type Lunch Baby? :-O I meant Lunch Break: Baby…
Thanks for fixing the unintentional typo K! LL

Excellent post.
I was HOPING the best Kel. That’s why I questioned it. I was sure it couldn’t have been intentional…. but unsure too…. I was hoping not. Sorry.
If it’s so great, why can’t you or he address my rebuttal?
-1.
I’m sure you were conflicted, but you did want to have children. It’s totally understandable – the situation with the man, and it’s sad that it works out that way, at times, but even in that situation you wanted to have the baby more than you did not, and thus you continued the pregnancy. If, overall, you truly “did not want to have children,” then you wouldn’t have.
If you do not want to have children while pregnant you kill them.
All about feelings and emotions and the whim of what I WANT!!
Come on X. THAT is the cognitive dissonance we deal with here.
And Doug gets 20 likes? LOL
It’s the farthest thing from cognitive dissonance to realize that it is indeed all feelings and emotions. Marty’s point is well-taken; if, on balance, the pregnancy is wanted, then it will be willingly continued, conflicting emotions notwithstanding.
From our available options, we choose or attempt that which we want the most, or that for which we have the least distaste. Decisions may be easy, they may be hard, but short of being compelled against our will, that’s the way things go.
For whatever reason – if one thinks that the unborn life is the most important thing, and/or one thinks of the unborn as “children” to the extent that abortion is held to be unacceptable, then one won’t choose to have an abortion, and pro-choicers are fine with that.
Why should I not get 20 “likes”? I’ve seen posts with 30+, 40+, and my point is well-taken too: imagine the woman with a wanted pregnancy who is forced to have an abortion against her will. Pretty doggone bad, huh? You can see why women don’t want to be forced, period, whether the pregnancy is wanted or unwanted, and why pro-choicers don’t want them to be.
So in “Doug’s World” of “all feelings are equally valid,” if a woman is forced to kill her own child, it is just as bad as if a woman is “forced” to continue a pregnancy to term and give birth to her living child, even one she does not have to raise.
If Doug really believes pro-choicers are “fine” with people thinking of the unborn as “children” and holding that abortion is “unacceptable” then I’m thinking he really isn’t reading the other comments here by fellow pro-choicers who absolutely despise the pro-life message and seek to silence it in every forum possible.
I find it very interesting that Doug claims a process like pregnancy, a biological process which naturally terminates in either a miscarriage or in a live birth, is something that is “forced.”
Why should Doug not get 20 likes? I mean, hey, doesn’t it just give you hope that at least 20 other people on this board alone can know that the human being in utero IS, in fact, a human being, but can still be so utterly devoid of empathy for that being who stands to lose his or her life in an abortion?
Doug is a brilliant example of what abortion has done to society – it has unnaturally pitted the mother’s interests against those of her child, her own offspring. It seems that some, consciously or unconsciously, view the “war on women” as being waged not by politicians but by the growing, existing human fetus. That way, no one has to change. No one has to re-think their own behaviors or actions or examine their consequences. They can just have a little “procedure” and go back to repeating their same patterns and lifestyle choices. Who cares if they have to kill a couple non-sentient beings to do it, right?

Kel, didn’t say they were “exactly equal.”

What I said is that pro-choicers are fine with somebody choosing not to have an abortion based on their beliefs, as above. That is true. If it’s not true for a given person, they they are not pro-choice.

Nope, that wasn’t what we were talking about. I am talking about legal force, or the attempted use of it, against a woman, either mandating that she have an abortion against her will, or that she continue a pregnancy against her will. There are any number of biological facts at hand, none of which I think you and I disagree on. (Of course) that’s not the same as society’s position on things and/or our legal system.

How many hits does Jill’s site get per day? As stated before, I’ve seen posts get over 40 votes, if not over 50. It has nothing to do with claiming the unborn are not “human beings.” I agree that they are, and would argue with anybody who disagrees just as strongly as you would. You said, “empathy,” and indeed that is some of why I’m pro-choice, owing to the definition of the word itself.

This is like saying that Kel is a brilliant example of a faction of society that seeks to take away some of the rights women have. It’s not that society “is pitting the pregnant woman against the unborn,” it’s that not all pregnancies are wanted in the first place, and it’s pro-lifers against women who want to terminate pregnancies. It’s also not that “the fetus is waging war.” That is silly. Being unwanted is not the same as being “an enemy combatant” in this case. Who cares if non-sentient unborn beings are killed? Well, obviously people do, to varying degrees, some of them to enough degree that they would not let women retain the rights they currently have. The question is if society has a good enough reason to take away those rights.
Doug, dear fellow… with all due respect, I really do have to join in marvelling at the unusual number of “likes” you’re getting, and at a point so late in the thread, at that! Given your historical number of “likes”, it’s rather startling, and it suggests (forvive the colourful phraseology) that a new “nest” of abortion-tolerant “lurkers” has decided to swarm here! :) Are you quite sure you didn’t bring a “fan-group” with you?
Paladin, this does seem to be a “voting thread” versus some that don’t get that much activity, even all the way through. I think part of it is that there have not been a lot of new threads, fast, that push it off the “front page” as far as Recent Posts.
As for my army, yes, the Pro-Choice Action League is here, as well as the Defenders of Women’s Rights, the Anti-Misogynists, and the Pan-Galactic Straw Bosses.
I just think it’s sad that the goblins supporting abortion on this thread can’t even fathom that someone can buck up and do the right thing even if it really isn’t what they wanted out of life or what they want to do. That is a flippin’ disgrace.

X, :) re the “goblins,” but you’re getting to it…. “What they wanted” = yes, or “what they want;” it comes down to what we want. By your logic, you could say that “good people support slavery, because that is what I want, even if it’s not what other people wanted out of life or what they want to do.”
