Wow, she's cute. How many great people have been snuffed out for convenience ? How many cures will never be found? How many great scientists and inventors were never born ?
I came across a story once, about a Catholic priest named Padre Pio (I think that was his name) who had a spiritual gift of prophesying, especially during confession -- he could tell when the penitent was holding back from confessing a sin.
Anyway, the story goes that he was hearing a young woman's confession, and after she finished, he told her gently that she had not confessed *everything*. She hesitated, but then admitted that she had had an abortion.
After he said the words of absolution, she asked him if he knew what would have become of her unborn baby. "My child," he said, "Your son would have become the pope."
