'Window to the Womb' St. Pius X High School Student Reflections

Thu Apr 2 '09 9:39 am

For most of the St. Pius X high school students this was the first time seeing a “live” ultrasound, and witnessing life in the womb.

The reflections of each student shows how greatly the Pro-life movement and “window to the womb” ministry has impacted their lives.

Reflection
“I felt a big burden lifted off my chest and a growing spirit to step forward and show the world that maybe a few people like me could make a difference…joined with so many people in prayer for a sole purpose…a sense of hope that maybe we could make some sort of impact on our world…We, working together, can change the world”

“the ultrasound was very moving, and it really opened my eyes…If I was in the situation and was thinking of getting an abortion and I saw my little baby inside of me I would definitely change my mind…I think that anyone who says that the child is just a bunch of cells and is not a baby should look at an ultrasound and try to say that once they’ve seen it. They wouldn’t be able to because they would see that it truly is a baby with a heart beat…I pray and hope that someday, maybe in our lifetime, that abortion will become illegal”

“I believe that the ultrasound presentation was very educational…not only should high school students be required to see an ultra sound but so should the women who want to have an abortion…Learning all this information made me appreciate my life so much more…I don’t understand why people support something so cruel”
“The ultrasound reinforced how special life is…so many innocent lives are lost…its not the babies fault.”

“Babies are so innocent and so full of love…they bring joy to people. Life is not a mistake but a gift, I believe that these women who go in for an abortion are scared and afraid of what is to come. The huge responsibility it take to raise a child. But what they don’t see is how much love and happiness this child will bring…they see that ultrasound, they see that love and happiness.”

“I never really sat down and thought about a child developing within its mother in those nine months of pregnancy…about how tiny we all start out in our lives, and how easy they can be taken away. Viewing an ultrasound before an abortion will save many innocent souls. God creates and makes things happen for a reason…I never thought of the pain and destruction…It is an unfair and cruel thing to do to such a gentle and pure being. I pray and hope that god takes these children that are lost with open arms and hugs them and takes them into his kingdom of eternal life.”

“I knew that a baby is formed at the moment of conception but it didn’t really register until I saw the baby on the screen. Just seeing it move inside the mother’s stomach was something magical.”

“…a baby begins, not after it has developed in the womb, but at the moment of conception…ninety five percent of women who see their babies do not go through with an abortion. Seeing an ultrasound really makes you aware of the fact that the baby is a living human being with emotions and distinct physical attributes.”

“…at six weeks you can see a heart beat…clearly a life being developed in the mother’s womb…a baby is a human being at conception. Abortions should be illegal…how is abortion not murder…killing anything at any age is murder.”

“…truly a life changing experience. Being able to see the actual heartbeat was completely amazing to me, almost mesmerizing…a true eye opener. These babies have no voice…I will now be a voice for them, and will openly and passionately join the fight against abortion. Life is a gift that starts at conception and it should not, under any circumstances be taken away by abortion”
