So, did you not understand my reason, or did you just not read it? We were once excited parents too. I can assure you that the ultrasound changed everything.

To be honest, I did not consider this situation Frink. I certainly did not mean any hurtful disrespect by my off the cuff comment earlier in this thread. I like shock humor, but not at the cost of hurting people feeling in that sort of area.

What FF said.

My comment was originally made for the famous person thread, then I decided to post it here instead. But no, I didn't read your comment at the time of posting, but you had mentioned that situation in the past.

I do sympathize, it must be a horrible thing to go through.

Not trying to sound overly insensitive or anything, but I still don't think that has a bearing on my comment about seeing fetuses as symbolic of new life. Your situation really sucked. But a lot of ultrasounds do bring many parents a lot of joy and exciting images to share with their friends. My whole point was that the fetus, being one of the early stages in the development of brand new humans (exciting stuff!) doesn't have to be seen as a morbid symbol of death and political controversy. Your personal experience doesn't nullify my point to any degree. It is unfortunate that babies die, I've seen dead babies, but I still find babies cute.
