She had been taking a drug for her morning sickness when they found out that it causes birth defects–and her unborn baby was one of them. When the doctors advised abortion, “Sarah and her husband, both devout Catholics, refused. Sarah believed her son had ‘a special mission.’” He was born with a crippled arm, became a priest, and served as a personal assistant to Saint John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. “Now with old age,” he says, “my mother is the happiest woman in the world, one would say, because she has a son who is a priest.”

It’s great that she’s happy that she has her third son, but** I sure hope she’d be “the happiest woman in the world” even had he chosen a different vocation**?

(A Catholic publication, and they misspell the name of Mother Teresa? Heads are gonna roll in the fact-checking department!!!)

Why wonder about something that did not happen? It isn’t very nice of you to say that.

I think it’s a really cool story. I am glad that my mother opposes abortion. My brother was born outside of wedlock and my parents were broken up. When my mother found out she was pregnant, one of the nurses asked her “is this going to a problem”? and my mother said “not for me”. I am incredibly confused about the “pro-choice” logic. They claim that there are unwanted kids, then claim pro-lifers don’t want to do anything for the kids after they’re born (in spite of the fact that we are more likely to help with charities than pro-choice folks, but whatever:shrug

I can’t understand the pro-abortion crowd either. I was adopted as an infant in 1958 and am glad abortion was not widely available then.

I can understand a scared and pregnant young girl pressured by a boyfriend or parents giving into that pressure and then asking forgiveness later; we are all human and sometimes make the wrong choices. But when it takes 10 years for an infertile couple to find a child to adopt, it becomes clear what a senseless loss of life and great human tragedy abortion is. I just shake my head at the illogic and inhumanity of the pro-abortion movement.
