A blog post<\/a> that is making rounds on social media gives a voice to the private grief carried by the most unsung members of the pro-life community: pregnancy center nurses. I\u00a0spoke with the author, who is a nurse at Human Coalition Raleigh<\/a>, a women’s care clinic serving abortion-determined women with life-affirming care. She asked to remain anonymous, so we’ll call her “Emily.” Emily is a Registered Nurse who has a certification in ultrasound technology.<\/p>\n

Nurses like Emily spend their time capturing images of preborn children wiggling in their mothers’ wombs. The nurses help to date the pregnancies and, most importantly, give parents a “window to the womb,” allowing them to view the magnificence of nascent\u00a0life in real time. Ultrasounds only last a few minutes, but sonogram photos capture stills from the experience and remind parents of the life they cannot yet see.\u00a0For some parents, these images are the only ones they will have to remember a life that ended too soon, either in abortion or miscarriage.<\/p>\n
