Seriously, I’m asking. I am certainly pro-life. I acknowledge that, and I see things through that lense, that worldview.
But can anyone, pro-choice or pro-life watch this girl recite her poem and not feel a sinking sense of pain?
That is what I felt.
She spent way too much time describing how she would have taken her little girl to the museum to see dinosaur bones, she would have put stars on her ceiling, she would have measured her height. She would have… She would have, but her little girl is dead. She wraps it up by saying “This is my body.” But we have just been very thoroughly reminded that the dead body was not her own. It was separate, and it is gone.
Abortion: pro-life, pro-choice. It is not a success story.

Gut-wrenching. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” I’m reminded of the article by J. Budziszewski, in which he writes, “[I]t seems baffling that the sacrament of confession can be inverted to serve the ends of advocacy.” This video seems designed to illustrate his argument.

There will be other children, some time in the future, motherhood will come when chosen. So many find out differently…too late, much too late. Their only child was the one they refused.
Difficult to watch…
Choice is all about the self. It is a lonely world when focused on the self only.
“But I would have supported her right to choose, to choose a life for herself, a path for herself. I would have died for that right, like she died for mine. I am sorry, you came at the wrong time. I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed.”
Those are wrenching words. It’s one thing to lay your life down for someone else, it’s an insidious other to lay someone else’s life down for your own.
No greater love do we have than this, to lay down our lives for our friends. THanks, KC, for pointing out that she compelled someone, without asking, to lay down her life for her own. Twisted logic.
She has disabled the comments, I suppose, because she got some that were not in approval.
