Unable to understand choice of abortion

-

Abortion? There is only one person who has the right to take away the unborn child, a person's belief in a higher power, their God! Volunteeri­ng at St. Vincent's NICU for several years I had the pleasure to be privileged to be surrounded by newborn babies. I held, cuddled and walked the floor with these infants. These babies come from all walks of life, all colors, and creeds. I especially wanted to do what I could for babies who were carrying the burden from mothers that were drug-addicted. One thing I admire about these mothers is that they didn't abort their babies, which they could very easily have done. Each baby in NICU was No. 1 1 of importance to the nurses & doctors.

Babies are all little angels, and when I looked at them I just couldn't understand how anyone would want to end these children's lives just because it wasn't a convenient time or the manner in which a woman became pregnant. Just think of how many couples pray to have a baby and can't! There are always options for the unwanted pregnancy after the baby is born. The following is a wonderful proverb:

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrate­d you, I appointed you a prophet to the nation”. Jeremiah l:4-5 Suzanne Filotei
