40 years

 Today my heart and thoughts go out to all the victims of abortion

Not just the babies that were killed

but to the mamas

who killed them

The pain they feel, forever now.

"Woe to these who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light, 

and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

Isaiah 5:20

 Rosary Mom wrote about today here

Which will lead you to what this "Mean Choice" is about Here
Other posts for this cause are here

I read a couple stories from the pro-abortion site--the link there 

can be found in the link above.

I cried through them and felt sick to my stomach.

One woman wrote about her painful story, of finding out at 35 weeks along

her precious baby girl had severe birth defects and may even be stillborn

and how the doctor offered her the "choice" of abortion or adoption.

She chose abortion.

And is happy to this day for having that "choice" to kill her baby.

Gratitude is her greatest feeling, when thinking about her abortion.

Gratitude

Gratitude.

Wow.  If that is what she thinks gratitude is, 

she would hate my Thankful posts. 

I think she is fooling herself.

 

Trying to understand why she chose abortion instead of adoption,

I understand she felt she was saving her baby, if she lived at all,

from a life that is not "perfect" in the world's eyes.

But

we know, God does not make mistakes.

We know that this baby's life would have been "perfect", because she

was perfectly created in the likeness and image of God.

She has a soul, and that soul lives forever.

The good out of that is the precious little girl that was killed by her mother

I believe is in heaven praying for her mother, 

she was martyred and baptized in her own blood.

In a way, it doesn't seem fair, that this mother is blessed 

with the graces of having a baby in heaven, does it?

But she needs it, and God is Merciful.

So

We must be merciful too.

We must pray for this woman 

We must pray for the many women like her 

Who will never know the beautiful love of the newborn baby

that she killed, the gaze and smile my good friend 

got to see and feel, when her baby son, Gabriel,

 was born with severe birth defects.  

The smile that was given to her, the mother

who fought the doctors to keep him safe in her womb, 

that fought for his life, as short as it was. 

He knew her love.  He felt it until God took him home, 

Where he is surrounded by LOVE Itself. 

They will never know if their baby could have been 

a beautiful baby like Dominic, who the doctors also 

wanted to abort.  Who the doctors, at first said his birth defect 

would not be a "quality life".  

Are you kidding me?  

If only we all could be loved like sweet Dominic.

This other woman's baby only felt the pain of being killed by her mother.  

After 35 weeks of being loved by that same mother. 

I keep thinking about what our priest talked about on Sunday.

40 years.

How significant 40 is in the Bible.

It usually marks the end of something

40 years in the desert

Rained for 40 days and nights

40 days in the desert

40 years

Hopefully the end is soon
We must pray, pray, pray
and be merciful.
