In Gods Arms

Month one Mommy I am only 8 inches long but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby. Month Two Mommy today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here. Month Three You know what Mommy I'm a boy!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too and I cry with you even though you can't hear me. Month Four Mommy my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too. Month Five You went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion? Month Six I can hear that doctor again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy! HELP me! Month Seven Mommy I am okay. I am in God's arms. He is holding me. He told me about abortion. Why didn't you want me Mommy? Every Abortion Is Just . . . One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak. .

I remember my teen girlfriends at 16-19 doing those things,,,abortions as birth control, but not adults in their 40's then trying to make the guilt go away by believe they are in heaven, I hate to burst your bubble..fetus do not have a spirit, it is not in heaven..I am sorry to inform you of that prophetically, time to deal with guilt properly, that someone was immature and made a bad decision

Actually i'm just expressing my opinion of abortion, and i feel that if a woman doesn't want a baby, then she shouldn't have sex until she's absolutely, i mean that's what i believe at least, people can believe what they want, but that's how feel about it. SO, can you please keep your opinions to yourself if they aren't exactly civil? (I mean this with no disrespect of course...)

um is that not illegal at 6 months of term? I think it is ridiculous people in their 40's acting 15, screwing without even thinking of consequences then using it as birth control first of all, shocking to hear this in their 40;s then trying to make God feel guilty that they have a spirit in the womb when they do NOT..no spirit in the womb...six months that is disgusting..
