Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Dear Mom,

Well, it’s been almost four weeks. Crazy how time flies, isn’t it? You still don’t know I’m in here yet. The angel told me you’d find out pretty soon, because you’ll be missing something. She said that while you are looking for it, you are going to start thinking about me. I am so excited, and wow, I just can’t wait!

Love,

Blob

Dear Mom,

I can tell you know about me now, or at least you think you know. The angel said that you have been wondering if I might be in here, but you still aren’t sure. Sometimes, I get a funny feeling, and I wonder if it’s when you are thinking about me. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like things get all tense. Are you okay Mom? Hope you feel better soon.

Love you,

Blob

Dear Mom,

Why have you been crying? The angel told me that you and Daddy have been yelling at each other. Are the two of you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? I hope not, but I am sorry if I did. Please don’t be mad at me.

I love you so much,

Blob

Dear Mom,

I have some really really great news! You know that I’ve been busy in here for twelve weeks now, and guess what. I’m going to be a girl! Yes ma'am, I am going to be the most beautiful little girl any Mommy has ever had. I am getting so big that you just wouldn’t believe it.

Your loving daughter,

Blob

Dear Mom,

The sweet sixteen is here. Yep, I am sixteen weeks old and I am getting pretty good at stuff in here. My arms and legs are working great. Did you feel it when I poked you with my foot this morning? I hope it didn’t hurt you. It feels good to move my arms and legs.

Love,

Blob

Dear Mom,

What were you and Grandpa arguing about, and why have you been crying again? I hope Grandpa isn’t mad at me. Did I do something to make Grandpa unhappy? I hate it when you are sad Mom. It makes me feel all icky when you are sad. I haven’t heard Daddy for a long time. Is Daddy okay? Continued...

Be consistent with medicalese
Peter writes: What's wrong with "fetus?"

Nothing is wrong with it, if you are prepared also to call the pregnant woman a "gravida". It is dishonest to use medicalese for one and not the other -- it helps to dehumanize the unborn.

For lbwjrh... P.S.
You could also write to the author of this column. I have corresponded with him before, and know that he reads the emails that are sent to him. I have read his book, and a big part of it is about getting help after an abortion, so I'm pretty sure he would find people who want to help you. Just a thought.
