The panic is temporary. The fear is temporary. The crisis is temporary. The days when you wake up thinking “how did I make such a huge mistake” are so few in retrospect.
You have nine months for all that, but then it gets good. Still difficult, don’t get me wrong, but so so good…
By now it should be obvious to all that I am no fan of abortion. But perhaps the biggest reason why is because it sidelines the strength women have and capitalizes on panic and fear. Whoever, on any issue at all, said that fear is a good reason to do something? And most abortions are done for that reason: Fear of a future a woman can’t see or yet understand, fear of a lack of finances, fear of what people will think, etc. etc. etc. The fear is temporary, the strength is permanent. This is why helping women find strength to carry on in face of a crisis is an act of compassion.
