Sick days and more

So far every one in the house has been sick but me. I have been the caregiver of three different sick people in the past week. Thankfully they have all been on different days. I just hope that I am not next.

Just to get it out there, I am against abortion. The reason I mention this is because of a magazine article I read today. It has really bothered me. It was in the latest issue of Elle. It was called The Choice. Let me sum up. A woman wants to have another child but not a third, does artificial insemination and gets pregnant with twins. Well that is something that happens a lot when you use fertility drugs. So after she looks at all sorts of different numbers and looks over the budget she decides to have a "selective reduction". What does that mean? Well it means when you get pregnant with more than one child you kill off what ones you don't want. Normally just one of the babies. Draw back is you still get to deliver the dead one when you deliver the one you let live.

I don't have a hard time getting pregnant, I just can't seem to stay pregnant. I have had way too many spiritual experiences with my children, including the ones I miscarried, to do such a thing. With my last miscarriage I went to the doctor to see what was wrong when I was bleeding at seven weeks along. They did an ultrasound, didn't see any signs of bleeding, but they did pick up the heart beat. It was very strong. Two weeks later I lost the baby anyways. I have felt their spirit near me every time I miscarried. I know that their little undeveloped bodies had a spirit in them before they died and I know that they are waiting for me in heaven.

When they do a "selective reduction" they do it between 11 and 13 weeks. So if I was able to hear my baby's heart at seven weeks you can be darn sure you can hear it at 11 weeks. What kind person can really be ok with stopping a heart beat? Can you really be ok with it in the long term of things?

If you plan on having an abortion or a "selective reduction" know this, one day you are going to be faced with that child. You are going to have to look at that angelic face and explain why you didn't want them, why you didn't love them enough to let them live. If you want to kill them I hope you are ready to tell them why.

My advice, don't worry about money or what people think. If you really can't support a child, you have other options. You can have the baby adopted or if you have a willing family member you can give them guardianship over the child until you can take care of the child. You can even leave a child at a hospital, police station or fire station with no questions asked. But you do need to hand the child over to a person, you cannot just leave them in a bathroom or something. Think about your options. You have many roads before you, please don't choose murder.
