Setting: the state operated federal human reproductive rights birthing clinic in a central California town.
Please sit down Mrs. Robinson, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. It seems that even though your pregnancy has been normal all these months, your chil.., er, the fetus has developed a problem. We've run a series of genetic tests and unfortunately, they reveal that your fetus has a genetic defect. A mutation has occurred which alters the genetic structure of your fetus and creates a condition called muscular dystrophy. This is an incurable, untreatable disease that makes it impossible for your baby's muscles to develop normally. Your child will be severely handicapped from birth. I'm sorry.
Sobbing, but the pictures and videos you showed us... our son looked normal and so beautiful. His face and eyes and nose and little mouth and ears and his little toes and fingers. He looks so normal and perfect. He looks just like his grandfather and we love him so much. Sobbing.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Robinson, There's nothing we can do. Boys with this disease rarely are able to walk or function normally. They usually die at a very young age. They'll sometimes live to twelve or thirteen and with rare exceptions they'll live a little longer. Rarely do they reach adulthood.
Sobbing, but isn't there anything you can do for my poor baby?
I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do.
Can you refer me to another doctor so we can get a second opinion?
I'm sorry, but federal law does not allow that.
Well, can we pay for a private doctor to help us?
I'm sorry, but federal law does not allow that.
Sobbing, but what will we do?
Well, since your baby can never lead a normal life and will never be a productive member of society, the law requires us to terminate your pregnancy immediately.
Sobbing, but sir... isn't there any other way? Can we appeal to someone higher up?
I'm sorry, your case was reviewed by the birthing board last week, and it was decided that your pregnancy should be terminated immediately... and that's why we called you in today.
Sobbing, but what about my husband? He doesn't even know...
I'm sorry, but federal law does not require spousal notification.
Sobbing, but... but... I'm seven months along. You can't do an abortion.
Don't worry, Mrs. Robinson, we have a safe and painless procedure that we perform hundreds of times per month in cases like yours where the defective fetus must be removed in a late term pregnancy.
Sobbing, what do you mean?
First, we position the fetus so that it will deliver feet first, then we deliver the fetus up to its head. Then the birthing technician inserts an instrument and removes all tissue and matter from inside the defective fetus' skull. The skull is collapsed and extracted and it's all over. Very simple, quick and painless. We'll have you back on your feet in no time.
Sobbing, I want to go home and talk to my husband.
I'm sorry, but federal law does not allow that.
Sobbing.
Ok, Mrs. Robinson it's time to go to the birthing room.
Sobbing, but, sir, I want to call my Pastor and have him pray for us first.
I'm sorry, but federal law does not allow that. We cannot recognize mythical beings on government property, nor may we allow religious cult practices or ceremonies. Prayer is definitely not allowed on public property.
Sobbing, but, but my God... please Jesus...
Interrupting, I'm sorry, Mrs. Robinson, but we must go to the birthing room...
Sobbing, but what about after? Can our Pastor pick up the remains of our beautiful baby boy so we can have a Christian burial?
I'm sorry, but federal law does not allow that. We cannot allow religious ceremonies or cult practices on public property. Besides, we use all tissues and organs from terminated pregnancies. The stem cells are used in research. Your fetus' defective cell system may help us discover cures for MD and many other diseases. If any of his organs are good, they will be frozen and saved for later transplanting into children whose parents can afford such luxuries. Any remaining or unused tissues or body parts will be incinerated in our facility.
Hysterical sobbing, Dear Lord, Jesus please deliver us from such evil... The Lord is my Shepard... I shall not want..
Interrupting, please Mrs. Robinson, we really must go. The birthing technicians waiting...
That was a chilling, and possibly realistic, scenario.
God help us if these baby killers gain further victories.
Chilling, sickening. But the editor in me says they wouldn’t have called the guy a “birthing technician”.
He’d be the “tissue removal specialist”.
(shudder) Jim, I can't imagine a more chilling post. God bless you.
Ping to an INCREDIBLY disturbing, but highly probable scenario that will be played out every day if the culture of death is allowed to succeed (and Hillary and Rudy would BOTH work to support the eugenicists).
speechless
I’ll be back to respond later. I am tearfully, prayfully, speechless.
Oh, my!
That could not have been easy to write!
(Hug!)
