Pro-life Ping
This is one of the only blessings that can come from such. I am childless myself. Adoption is not an option now. It is hard when people ask very personal questions like, "Are you guys trying?", "When are you planning on starting a family?", "So, you just don't want any kids?", and so on. It's hard for those with kids sometimes to see the anguish that those of us(who can't have them but who want to have one very bad) go through. I've long stopped complaining and try to deal with it the best I can, trying to prepare so that I may get a child someday. It still saddens me though, when I see some with children who take it for granted, acting like it's like going to the mall. They have a great privilege to be a mother or a father and should appreciate it every day of their lives. I know I will if I ever get that opportunity.
Here's a story you might like. A number of years ago (about 22) my brother-in-law came to me and said that his partner was preganant and they were considering an abortion. He knew I was a Christian and he asked me what I thought about it. I said to him that it really did not matter much what I thought rather what God thought about it (this is what he was really asking for anyway I believe). So I told him God says that it is murder to kill another human being. some 7 months later they had a little girl. They called here Mel after me. She is now 21 and absolutely beautiful. Makes me choke up everytime I think about it.
Any way we need to be honest - we don't have to be mean just tell the truth.
God Bless

Amen and amen!!

I am adopted, and I think one should just not bring it up.
Bump for this. My son and I returned last week from the Republic of Georgia where we attempted to encourage adoption of the many Georgian children living in orphanages right now. My son was adopted from the Republic of Georgia some 9 or 10 years ago.
Who cares if signs with dead babies antagonizes the opposition? No matter what the pro-lifers do.... Abortionists are gonna hate us. Besides, these are not "dead babies" as such. They are live fetuses (human beings) in the womb. And these type pictures are necessary as to convince the middle of the road individual who may not really understand that it's a LIFE we're talking about.
