You have the dog ping. I’d love to hear from dog lover to weigh in on this. thanks.
I don’t think any of us, ‘here’, can understand the minds of those who perform abortions. When something is empty, something else fills the void - they are empty of GOD, so evil took its place.
I have had two dogs ‘gently’ put to sleep by the Vet, and it was heartbreaking, but they were old, sick and in pain. I miss them still. ‘Potlatch’ was one of them...
I hope you don’t mind if I tell you my long story Morgana, since you did ask, lol.
My first daughter was born when I was 19 yrs old. I’m Catholic and became pregnant when she was 9 months old, and my body was thin and not strong enough yet because I started to lose the baby in the 3rd month and was rushed to the hospital.
This was many decades ago and from that time on I was instructed to lie in bed - flat on my back - which I did for 4 whole months. My first son was born at 7 months and weighed 2 1/2 pounds. The doctor baptized him at birth and he was kept in an ‘incubator’ for two months.
At that time it was unheard of for a baby to survive at that tiny size. The placenta was not fully attached and he had not received the nourishment he needed. I was not even allowed to ever hold him until he was almost 5 lbs and we brought him home! I was still very weak myself.
I had him at home for two months until one morning I found him dead from SIDS. He was 4 months old then.
The point I’m making is that WE will do anything to save a baby - even if it is ‘inconvenient’ timing in our lives. I could easily have stood up and lost the baby if I had wished to do so.
God has plans for us in our lives that we cannot understand. My oldest daughter died a year and a half ago and I’ll never recover from that. Thankfully I also have twin daughters and a son, so I am still blessed.
