Motherly Love

I often marvel at the love mother's have for their children. It is so simple and so sweet. The expression on their faces as they watch their child so innocently sleeping. The skillful manipulation they use to get their children to do some thing. All the love they give.
When I was young I was a bit neglectful of my daughter but I always loved her dearly. I worked full time jobs and went out occasionally with the girls. I had her when I was 19 and the marriage with her father didn't last long. He decided that to get me to answer him he would slap me with gusto across the face. The first time that side of my face swelled up and I was so shocked I couldn't speak. That was the first time. I over looked forgave him. The second time I had my baby daughter in my arms and I packed our things and moved immediately. He insisted on my accompanying him to see a priest. The priest finally declared: "I'm sorry Sir, I can't help you She made up her mind." And that I had. Motherly love is strong.
I have been my daughter's advocate ever since. I have stood by her side and explained to people about her learning disability. I have defended her, helped her and been there for her.
What I find hard to understand is brutalizing a child. Killing them in the bath tub, running the car into a river with three little boys in it, or the gal who used a chemical to put her daughter to sleep and she died? Or the one that left her baby in the back seat of her car and went in to work a 8 hour day. These stories and more make me think more favorably about abortion. I would rather hear of a fetus not living than a child being born, feeling love and acceptance and then being killed by their own mother. What do you think?

I had my first born son when I was almost 17. I lost two children long before the should have been born. I have children with special needs. I cry everytime I hear of a parent taking the life of their child and more so when it is a child that suffered first.
I think that we should teach more education about preventing unwanted children and self respect that will keep people from staying with people who put their children at risk. I think that if a person isn't ready to be a parent, they shouldn't have to be. Adoption and abortion are and should be choices when birth control fail.
Think of all the unwanted babies that became unwanted and tortured children.

Exactly. Unwanted and tortured. This is why I also think women should be given the option of abortion. Adoption too is good.

People are so against abortion sometimes that they forget to look at two important things: That pregnancy ends with a child that has to live with the fact that it was born. It can be a blessing or a curse. And that if they really want to reduce the number of unwanted children and abortions the easiest way to do that is to help end unwanted pregnancies through education, contraception, and other supports.

@TLChimes -- You said it sister! Education is very important. I think a lot think it won't happen this time and it does. I wish that abortion wasn't such a horrible thing and, of course, the longer a woman goes the more of a fetus there is. Sad but even education isn't always of any help. People now days do as they people and think nothing will happen.

I firmly believe that not everyone is cut out to be a parent. Too many psychos out there that can't be considered parent-material. Just sick!

So very true, my friend. I think abortion is so much better than letting a child grow on the outside world and then take its life. It is a sad thing but so much better than the alternative.
