Final Blog Entry:
Parts of Chapter 8 seemed very interesting to me. One thing that stuck out was the scientific imaging of abortions in Bernard Nathanson’s The Silent Scream. After reading this part of the chapter, I found myself looking up images on Google to see how I’d react. I found myself looking and looking, searching page after page. I was in this concept of “practices of looking.” Abortion never seemed right in my eyes to begin with. However, once I saw the images of an aborted child, I couldn’t believe what I my eyes were seeing. It literally was horrifying. I became sick to my stomach. Scientific images or just images in general do play a major role in the way we think and act. These images have made me become even more against abortion. I hope to never see images like those again. I didn’t post any pictures either because it wouldn’t be appropriate.
