Babies who Hiccup

I just read the headlines today about the abortion doctor who was shot at his church and killed. Apparently he was one of the few doctors who provided late term abortions, meaning after the 21st week. This is the part that caught my attention, after the 21st week! The babies are over 8 inches long and have eyelids and are drinking amniotic fluid, they can even hiccup. Often times you can even tell gender! How can a man spend his life killing babies? Now, I am strongly against abortion at all stages of pregnancy, but I just find it hard to believe that a highly educated medical doctor who knows way more about the human body than me could look at those babies and not feel anything. I feel sorry for this man, not just in the way that he died, but more so in the way that he lived. What a dark life, I feel even more sorry for him now. I can't believe that this goes on in America. I am not trying to bring up hurt feelings if anyone has had an abortion, I am not talking about the women who are in a tough position and society has given them an "easy way out," and they have blindly taken it and it will haunt them forever. No, I am addressing the doctors who have made a profession based around lies told to the mothers and murder committed to the babies. I think everyone has just turned a blind eye to it and has become numb to it. I think they should post an abortion video on u tube or something so that people can see what is involved. It's just a fetus right, it's just tissue not a baby right? So why don't they have any of these late term abortions on video? Because they know it would look like a massacre of a whole generation. My heart is heavy with the children that have never enjoyed their first steps, a popsicle in the heat of summer, or just a simple kiss on their cheeks. I feel as Solomon did in Ecclesiastes where he sees vanity of life and the injustice of life under the sun. There are so many couples longing for babies and so many who have lost them due to miscarriage. There are so many that want babies, and there are so many babies who die unwanted before they are even born. I know Jesus just welcomes all these babies into heaven with open arms saying, "I want you, I love you, I made you, and you are precious to me."

Ok got in my good cry for the day. It is hard to believe. I remember hearing the first heart beat of Brooklyn. That made it feel real even without seeing her. The lady who leads are Bible study works for an organization to help mothers who get pregnant keep their child. SHe said that something like 97% of mothers who have the chance to hear their babies heart beat change their mind about having an abortion. These clinics who give abortions don't encourage the mom to hear the heart beat before having an abortion. SO sad.

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
