This is what I was doing when you told me to clean my room.
Any excuse not to clean the room.
Seriously, though, God bless here and her family.
I wonder how many young adults are living with a mother who disposed of their unborn brother or sister? I suspect the number may be in the millions...
Such an inspiring story! It reminds us that we should always forgive another for genuinely recognizing a wrong. Zoe was very spiritually mature for doing so.
It’s also important to realize that forgiveness should only be extended to those who can unequivocally say, “I was wrong, and will never do [that action] again.” I’ve known several awful liberals in the past who beg for forgiveness for their abortions, only to go right back and get another one. I’ve seen people beg for forgiveness as a means of manipulation far too often.
There is another thought which should be considered. From a legal perspective, having/performing an abortion should be a capital crime. Would Zoe’s mother still have sought out her 1998 abortion even if it were to be severely punished? Fear of a punishment can be the only thing keeping one from getting an abortion, and I think a lot of women would be grateful if the power of the law convinced them not to have an abortion.
May God bless her efforts! I know of two people whose mother admitted to having their twin aborted. One is my age, and his mother did not regret it. The other was nine when he found out; his mother was rather proud of it. Both knew that the intent was to kill each of them, and only the incompetence of the abortionist, and their mother’s reluctance to go through the physical pain again, allowed them to live.
My ex-wife had an abortion and my(our) two daughters don’t know and I’m not sure if I will ever tell them. I know my ex won’t. I really wrestle with that. Perhaps, when they’re older(15 and almost 13 now), I will ask their mom to share it with them.
Two people, maybe three, were involved in abortion. I pray for them. One has passed. I know it affected her entire life and in her last weeks, she “confessed” to me. I hope it gave her peace. Another decades ago - I know it has haunted her. Finally a man I know and am close to. Again decades ago but I think about this child who might now be 45 and I pray for him/her and for that father. He loves the two sons he has so much. I wonder if he ever thinks about that other child.
Thanks for posting. Very powerful testimony.
