Thought of the day
I hear on the radio today from a charitable group that one in four children in Afghanistan don’t make it to their fifth birthday… and I couldn’t help thinking–what’s the abortion rate in this country? The same statistic probably holds true here. Except kids here don’t make it to their first birthday.
I’m aware I’m not making any friends with that thought. Who wants to be the pro-life drone who takes every international catastrophe and compares it to abortion in Canada? Still, that’s what popped into my head and I thought I would share it here.

Those kind of thought happen to me regularly. I am glad it is not only me.
I’ll be your friend, Andrea!
My first child was born in Malawi Africa 35 years ago. That night 6 children were born and my husband and I realised that, by the time she was 6 herself, almost all of those children would have died. Malaria and cholera took a terrible toll on babies in Malawi then. Wasn’t thinking about abortion in those days, but I certainly would now.
You are making friends, rest assured (without counting this one)!
