wow this is an amazing conversation. i admire those of you who are heroically trying to back those unborn babies. unborn babies.....humans.
i know someone who cares for children who have no brains or very little brains from being born that way. i admire her strength and courage to fight for these children she loves. they were not born to her. she accepted them this way. as humans they deserve the care she provides for them. yes....even though they have 1/4 of a brain or no brain at all they are humans and deserve all the love and devotion a normally functioning human receives.
i saw the picture of the baby gripping the doctors' hand. it was emotionally touching and disturbing at the same time. it made me cry for all of those babies who were not considered alive and were aborted. it made me cry out of happiness that this baby's mother cared enough to protect her child. even the rough and tough cowboys in our family were touched. that meant something to me. it meant that even men were open hearted enough to realize that child was alive (just like the monkey at the zoo is alive).
i have a friend who was raped and had an abortion. she hates herself for it. that was 10 years ago and she still carries that burden. at the time she had the abortion she thought the baby was just a fetus and wasnt alive because that was what she was taught in school. a year later she had an abortion again because the guy she was w/ wanted her too. she didnt know there was anything wrong w/ it. she was taught it was a form of birth control. years later she learned the truth. now she is suicidal because she feels she murdered her children and no one ever bothered to educate her from the beginning. no one ever bothered to teach her both sides of the story so that she could make her own decisions. shes infertile now. she will never have children of her own and lives w/ that constant pressure every day of her life. she told me that she wishes she had given birth and given her children for adoption. that wouldve been love.
be informed before you make a decision. know the truth.
