A pro life argument

[benjamin1973]

You are saying that we “did away with” my wife’s miscarried early-term fetuses?

I missed the part of the Bible where Jesus urged us to judge how our fellow men handle their losses in life. Lucky God has you to judge me, or He might have to take the time to do it Himself. Teach me, rabbit Joey.

Consider though that not all pro-life people treat miscarriages as the loss of a life. Unfortunately, some of the most pro life people I know ignored my miscarriages and acted as if I shouldn’t be grieving. So if you’re going to use this, be prepared for someone to point out the inconsistency in that direction as well.

Yes, that does sound inconsistent. Unless their point was something like “God wanted your child to be a saint”?

 

[Calliope]

Because it’s normal human behavior to grieve the loss of something wanted and to feel relief at the loss of something we fear or do not want. Many women who have abortions grieve the loss of their child and many women who have miscarriages offer up a prayer of thanksgiving and feel hugely relieved that they are not carrying the pregnancy to term. This also goes for their families and partners.

Nope. They just didn’t know what to say to me apparently. But made sure to say something to those with later losses or who were considering abortion.

It also doesn’t help that our large parish had no resources for us. They kinda tried but just didn’t know what to do.

Yes, that is what I mean. The outcome is the same, why is one heartbreaking and one “womens’ rights”?
