In some ways you may be right about that, but I have found that as these women age they do think about their babies from time to time. Here’s the story of one woman:
Recently she had been browsing Facebook. Putting in names of old friends and a few old boyfriends too. She wondered whatever happened to the boy who got her pregnant, the father of her aborted baby. Here’s what she learned:
He went on to marry a beautiful wife and they live in a very fine home in an upscale area. They attend Church regularly and both kids attended in college. The oldest, the boy, was happily posting about his missionary assignment after college. Shockingly his assignment was right in her hometown.
As the woman has returned to God and Church, she could not help but marvel at what she was reading. She had come from a very dysfunctional family and the abortion was done to stop the family line. A genetic line that at the time(17 years old) she did not want continued, nor did she feel she would have the ability to deal with a son, a son that turned out like her evil brothers.
Her brothers though sowed some ‘wild seed,’ and neither lived to see their adult children. One died in a motorcycle accident and the other was shot by police. BUT...the one known child grew up to be fine young man, served in the Marines for 10 years and eventually will have a degree in Engineering...as well as a beautiful wife & two great kids.
Yes Cowgirl, she was such a selfish young girl at one time.
I am meeting with her early Sunday morning and we’re going to pray together over her guilt and grief.
We don’t know how many women have suffered loss as they get older.regret and lots of pain because they believed a lie.
