Since you get to tell your story of your friend's daughter, let me tell you about my sister.
She is actually my half-sister, since her father was a rapist. Raped my Mom.
Thankfully, she was born in 1965, before the death industry had been established in America.
So she, innocent child of a rapist that she was, was allowed her God-given and unalienable right to live. She was put up for adoption, raised by a wonderful Christian family, and today has three beautiful kids herself.
Whenever I hear people try and undermine support for the right to life by diverting the debate to rare exceptions, I think of her and her family...
Good night to all....and remember, Terri Schiavo's life is the one that is about to be placed on Molech's altar. Pray for her, and keep working on her behalf....it is making a tremendous difference.
You know what the saddest part of your story is? If your mother had decided to have an abortion because she had been raped, you would call her a murderer.
that is a wonderful ending, but if your mom had wanted an abortion because of that tramatic event, would she be a murderer in your eyes?......also, as wonderful an ending that is, the same people who espouse this would take a 10 yr old illegal alien child who's parents brought her here when she was a baby and throw her back to a country she doesn't know cause her parents did something wrong..I know this is off track but it seems like all the principled people here are not so compassionate for the lives of already born children......
Beautiful!
I'm close to 50 years old and I remember a few girls who became pregnant out of wedlock and who gave their children up for adoption, and they really were profiles in courage, because to the best of my knowledge they could have aborted here in NYS, at the time. And, it's my understanding that the hospitals here were performing the abortions, calling them D&Cs. So, these young girls who suffered ostricization were heroic, especially when juxtaposed to the men who impregnated them, who suffered not at all.
Remember that scene in the first Godfather, when Michael finds out that his wife aborted his child? Even though he had whacked untold numbers of people, gangsters, really, he looked at his wife as a particularly loathsome person because she murdered her own child. A child that all of heaven and all of earth commanded and expected she would protect.
