Hi Jack!

I’m your appendix, I’m just over four inches long and love hanging out on the right lower quadrant of your abdomen where it’s warm and cozy.

I love you, as your body provides me with nourishment, oxygen and blood to keep me alive.

I look like a worm, and I’m really happy to be in here. In return I harbor and protect beneficial bacteria for use in your gut. We’re friends, we help each other out.

The other day, I heard you talking to the doctor. What’s an appendectomy? That’s a funny word.

I didn’t like the doctor, he sounds mean and cold. What’s the word “septic” mean? What is he talking about?

Oh this is strange, what’s going on, there’s light! It’s cold! It’s always been dark and warm.

What is that shiny thing? Some kind of knife???

Jack! They are cutting me out of you! Why?! I love you! I thought you loved me!!!

Jack, they are tossing me aside in a plastic bag! I’m going to die! Don’t you love me Jack? Why would you let them do this to me? I’m part of you, we’ve been through so much together.

A thinking, sentient appendix makes about as much sense as a thinking, feeling mass of cells, which is the stage at which nearly all abortions are performed.

Re-blog if you support a woman’s right to choose what to do with her own body and what will grow in it. 

This is what an actual abortion looks like when terminated at 5-6 weeks, the forceps point to the gestational sac. All other tissue is tissue, from the uterus associated with the pregnancy:

This is the gestational sac from a termination of pregnancy at 6-7 weeks.

If anti-abortion activists dealt in reality versus propaganda, maybe a real conversation on trying to reduce the number of abortions could be had, via prevention and pregnancy assistance.
