Thank God she chose not to abort this baby.
As I type this, my b and s-i-law are in their car, driving home from the hospital with their two day old, adopted baby boy.
God bless the birth mother; God bless the adoptive mom and dad and baby. God can and DOES bless a thousand generations because of adoption. Think of Moses.
Having not yet read the article, I’d like to say the guy is more than likely the personification of a true liberal.
Ranting and raving, huh? Got your number "prof." When it comes to missing points, both you and Amy get Perfect 10's.
I enjoyed your comments too. At least one child was saved and maybe as a result of the story other women may have second thoughts.
It's sad, but that's where to find minds that might be changed these days. Preaching to the choir doesn't accomplish much. This story might soften a few hearts that had previously been hardened by feminist dogma. Once unleashed the "motherhood" instinct is tremendously powerful, as the Reuters guy found out.
Of course, liberals are really conflicted on this point. They can clearly see that just because the Supreme Court called black slaves the property of their owners in the noted Dred Scott decision that it doesn’t make it so, yet they insist the same Court using the same logic to declare the unborn child to only be the property of the mother is correct and consistent with our moral and legal values.
Why am I not surprised with these two.Self centered, moronic, liberal progressives just enjoying life, and taking it away!
Well, they're doing it so their kids can be anchor babies and they can get tied into our welfare system with no real chance of deportation.
Of course, that doesn't mean we don't have really good medical care here. Although...it's probably easier to find an OB in Mexico than it is in certain states here.
Have you ever seen "The Last Boy Scout?"
The ending is pro-life, but the run-up is horrifying. While it is easy to dismiss these crazies for wanting to abort their first child, especially the heartless “husband” whose career is so important a child must die to keep it on track. However, on the plus side, the newspaper is read by a lot of people who think like they do. In that sense, it subtly nudges the liberal know-nothings toward the pro-life position. Thank God for the mother’s own mother, who seems to be the only sensible person in this story.
Ususally I can see where agnostics are coming from, but you've really lost me here.
First, Christians and members of many other religions believe that God has been in contact with us precisely because we need help getting it. Saying that Christianity (for example) is a bunch of people claiming to have figured it all out is like saying that everyone who uses Windows believes they figured out DOS on their own, or saying every airline passenger considers themselves to be an airline pilot.
Second, (using Christianity as an example again) believers don't think they've figured out "the Great Mystery." They believe they've heard and believed accurate information about a man who died on a cross for their sins and then was resurrected. Saying that is arrogant, or that a man leading such a group and overseeing their doctrine is arrogant, is like saying that if I love America I must think I'm George Washington, and that anyone who has served as President must believe he's just as good and important as the Founders and Framers.
i think it’s so weird that the father was concerned that the taxis in Mexico have no seat belts, but he was willing to kill his baby... and her thought of “what kind of mother would i be if i could not provide my child with financial security, health care, blah-blah-blah?” she didn’t consider, “what kind of mother would i be if i aborted my baby?” this is all very strange to me...
Beautiful!
Woohoo!
That was my first thought.
The cabs don't even have SEATBELTS!!!
I love the husband's rational. No seatbelts is a reason for an abortion. Gotta keep the baby safe or else....!!!
Can it be an accident if you don't remember it happening?
Imagine if their child ever reads that piece -- "mom, was I really that close to not being here?"
I thank God for the same thing everyday.
Excellent post.
