Part 1:  Pro-Choice/Pro-Life/Pro-People Part 2:  It's Okay To Drown Your Baby When... Part 3:  The Murders Of Liberty & Babies Part 4:  Rewarded For Bad Behavior I hope you've taken the time to read Part 1 (especially if you have abortion in your history) and Part 2 before you venture on to this Part 3. I value clarity over agreement and wrote them in this order hoping that you would understand my heart behind this "issue."  If you have read Part 1 , you already know that I have compassion for people who's lives have been touched by abortion and that I will not judge you.  If you have read Part 2 , you understand I believe there is a little living soul inside the mama before that fertilized egg even snuggles into its place in the uterus.  This belief is why I need to write this Part 3: I feel utterly helpless, frustrated, frightened, outraged, and heartbroken.  This is the reason I've come out about being pro-life: The Obama a

Part 1:  Pro-Choice/Pro-Life/Pro-People Part 2:  It's Okay To Drown Your Baby When... Part 3:  The Murders Of Liberty & Babies Part 4:  Rewarded For Bad Behavior "It's okay to drown my baby if..."

Whatever your views, I hope you'll read Part 1 first, especially  if you have abortion in your past.   I value clarity over agreement, so my only hope in writing these posts is that you will come to understand why my heart is so completely broken over this: Before our modern medical equipment can even detect a heartbeat, I believe that little baby has a soul and is just as much a person as my 7 week old baby who's in my arms as I write this. Because I believe this to be true, I was devastated when we lost our baby Hadassah when I was just 6 week pregnant...   And bec

Part 1: Pro-Choice/Pro-Life/Pro-People Part 2: It's Okay To Drown Your Baby When... Part 3: The Murders Of Liberty & Babies Part 4: Rewarded For Bad Behavior Compassion has kept me  silent on this. I feel deeply empathetic to people who have had to make this agonizing decision . If it were me, whether I regretted or defended my choice, I would feel icky every time someone with a proud posture,  trying to win an argument, said anything against it.  So in an effort to be loving, I've said nothing. And then today while the kids were sleeping, I followed a link ... I read an  article  that would probably be controversial to both pro-choice  and pro-life folks.  I loved it.  The author echoed my feelings so perfectly, though with a much  different tone than I would have taken.  So I started to share it on Facebook ...  ...Then changed my mind...  ...Then changed my mind again and posted it...  ...Then changed my mind again and deleted it.
