@Zin: Amen, girl. Amen.
<3
I guess I never told you guys the main reason I'm pro-life, and why I have the utmost respect for my mother that no one could really uncover.
Until I found this guild.
I knew since I was about eight or nine that my mother had a miscarriage with my older sister, Martha, two years before I was born. She fell into a depression for several months, but recovered, thank God, and decided to try to conceive again.
When I first found out what abortion was, the words "dead baby" brought one name to mind:
Martha.
It amazed me that my mother tried so hard to conceive, and then lost her precious baby during labor, the baby that she wanted - not because it was convenient for her, but - because she loved and respected the embodiment of God's grace that was living inside of her.
Because she loved and respected the beautiful life that would kick and shove inside her womb at some points.
Because she loved and respected herself.
And whilst all of this was going on . . .
There was always the dreadful knowlege that poked me in the back of my mind: Someone's throwing their child away so willingly . . . without giving it a second thought . . .
That's why I'm so pro-life. Because of my mother. Her experience. How she tried and tried and when she finally came so close to having a precious little girl, who would have black curly hair, big eyes, and milk-coloured skin, something went wrong. And the child was gone.
How she greived over something she had no control over. And how there are some women out there who will ever so willingly and knowingly toss their child away and fail to feel any remorse or guilt.
*sigh*
Sorry I had to bombard you guys with this. I'm actually crying now. But . . . um . . . I just thought you guys should know.

La Veuve Zin I responded with something immature like "My mom would sacrifice anything for me, too bad your mom only tolerated you because she wanted to be pregnant." Well, it's true, my mom wouldn't kill her children for anything, her mom's love is apparently conditional. Sucks to be her... biggrin
Sorry, done being ghetto. XD
Right now I would have a younger brother or sister (about 6 or 7 now) but my mother had a miscarriage. It makes me sad to think about sometimes, how that child will never get to experience love or kisses or hugs or tickles or wrestling or friends or homework or anything.
And of course many people in here know my story. But that's not one I talk about a lot.
Basically I would rather know that my mother was willing to sacrifice for me because killing me was never even an option for her, rather than knowing that my mother was willing to put up with me because it's what she decided that she wanted.

My mom had a miscarriage too... We call him/her Francis, since it's not really gender specific... S/he'd be 5-ish now...

I'm surprised at how common it seems too.
As if to add more...between me and the next oldest, my mom got pregnant again but the baby was born premature and didn't survive. He was developed enough to find out his gender was male. My parents named him Joseph. I don't remember when his birthday is but I do know he would be turning either 20 or 21 this year.
I'm sad about Joseph but I AM glad my parents kept having kids. Their next child is now my closest friend in the world. Two siblings later I finally got a brother. He's the only male sib...so I kinda take it upon myself to be both his big sister AND his big brother (so I have tomboyish streak...sue me XD). He's the only other one in the house that likes video games, computers, movies and anime....we geek out together. wink
Seriously...every child my parents concieved after Joseph became so important to me. I just can't imagine a life without them...and I wish I had a life with Joseph. We would have gotten along great...I just know it.

Ame no Tenshi Oh my god! Could you imagine what it would be like to find out you were supposed to have a sibling, but your mother killed them because it wasn't a "good time" Especially if were a younger sibling. Maybe its just me, but I wouldn't be smiling. Yeah, my mother killed my older brother, she would have got me too but my father convinced her not too, and even though he walked out the door the second I was born and safe, he's still my favourite parent. Just thinking what would have happened if he'd been less manipulative...
