3-2-1 Contact segment Ultrasound/Child Birth (Growth/Decay)

Posted at May 2nd, 2010 by admin

3-2-1 Contact segment from Growth/Decay. You will see a pregnant mother going to the hospital to do an ultrasound and to see how it works. You also will see a birth of a child. This is from 1980. Eventhough technology changes, the procedure is still the same today.

Duration : 0:5:21

    This seems almost primitive now….. you can get what looks like an actual photo of your baby in-utero these days. You get video and pics and all sorts of stuff now. This kind of thing is just a part of being pregnant now

    Notice how the …
    Notice how the technician almost called it a “baby” (at 3:02) before correcting herself and calling it a “fetus”. This was abortion propaganda by not calling it a “baby”. This was when the feminists were still trying to get the ERA amendment ratified by 3/5th’s of the states making abortion a Constitutional protected right.

    I thought the girls on this show were gorgeous. Probably the main reason I watched

    I “blame” this show

    a computer-electrical engineer.

    10? Teen-age?

    Hell, I was just 4 years old, but I still knew what was going on with Trini. Yow!

    Did see her in the “KISS” segment. I wonder if Gene Simmons got a piece of her.

    And Lisa’s real …
    And Lisa’s real name is Liz Moses, and she’s probably 50 or so as well.

    Too bad Liz / Lisa and Trini / Ginny can’t stay in their 20′s forever!!!

    Even Mark who’s real name is Leon probably has children with a wife by now….

    Actually it really …
    Actually it really hasn’t changed much; in fact, for some uses such as vascular ultrasound, many companies are using analog circuitry invented in the late 50′s wherein the only real changes are A/D conversion so that it may be recorded in a computer. Ultrasounds still use identical “jelly” and almost identical transducers, albeit MUCH smaller.

    Trini’s real name is Ginny Ortiz and should be pushing 50 now.

    Sad fact is, Lisa and Trini are probably married with kids of their own now!

    It’s still fun to think of how “hot” this show was.

    What guy wouldn’t …
    What guy wouldn’t over that “brown-eyed hottie”? That hottie is Trini!!

    I bet all us guys at 10 or at our teenage years watched this show just to watch her and Lisa!!

    Too bad Lisa and Trini can’t stay in their 20′s forever!

    If this segment was first aired in 1980, then the “baby” is currently pushing 30. I wonder if his mother has shown him this clip yet…

    “The reason we …
    “The reason we don’t call it a ‘baby’ yet is because it can’t survive outside of the mother. In fact, its chances inside the mother are only about 50/50″. How grotesque. Please tell me that rhetorical device is not still in use? Clearly “fetus” describes one stage in the development OF a human. There just ain’t no jive-talkin’ around that fact…

    Oh how I lusted over this browneyed babe with her luscious long hair. And I was only 10.!~ She’s probably a screamer.. looks like one.

    That “Mother to be” was very hot. Of course, this video being 30 years old, she is probably a “Grandma” now.

    I love the way they were playing the down-home mississippi blues style music after the black lady gave birth. I know she’s from the south, but isn’t that stereotyping a bit? I was waiting for them to bring her fried okra and kollard greens for dinner.

    Now an unborn child can survive outside the womb as early as five months along. We’ve come a long way in almost 30 years, eh?
