YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Unfortunately the next game that will be played to circumvent the intent of the bill will be to say a woman’s life will be threatened due to Post -patrtum depression and no doubt other trumped up flim -flamery. No I am not kidding. Such machinations have occurred before.

Good news, there are lots of anti-abortion bills cropping up all over the place. I think this is very good. People try to dehumanize the issue–saying prochoice. It is a choice, a choice to kill your child.
As a Physician–when I did my training in the Neonatal intensive unit–where we routinely saved the lives of very young infants. It became very clear to me the disconnect there is in our society today. On the one hand–people want every life saving measure possible. As a doctor it was very rewarding helping to save those infants and see them do well in the long term.
On the other extreme, the same age babies-- 28 weeks --are being aborted.
The thought of it sickened me. How can we save some babies and discard others as if they were nothing?
This was one of the steps–that brought me closer to Catholicism–and that life is a gift–and should not be destroyed.
I also happen to love that Poem about Life by Mother Teresa.

Have a good day.
