‘Cause its a bit messy, on that side of the aisle:
A mother who decided to abort her son because he may have inherited a life-threatening kidney condition is overjoyed that he survived the procedure.
Jodie Percival of Nottinghamshire, England, said she and her fiancee made the decision to abort baby Finley when she was eight weeks pregnant.
Percival’s first son Thane died of multicystic dysplastic kidneys — which causes cysts to grow on the kidneys of an unborn baby — and her second child Lewis was born with serious kidney damage and currently has just one kidney, the Daily Mail reported.
“I was on the (birth control pill) when I became pregnant,” Percival, 25, said. “Deciding to terminate at eight weeks was just utterly horrible but I couldn’t cope with the anguish of losing another baby.”
A short time after the abortion, Percival felt a fluttering in her stomach. She went to the doctor for a scan and discovered she was 19 weeks pregnant.
The news story concludes by stating the baby is expected now to live a normal life – in other words, the baby they tried to kill today over worry about tomorrow, is goinng to be fine. How many women abort a baby for this reason? And how many of them would have turned out fine.
You see, life isn’t a cut and dried thing – and, also, none of us are even promised tomorrow, so there isn’t too much advantage in worrying about it. We should deal with the things of today, today; deal with tomorrow’s problems, tomorrow. From what we can gather the preganancy, itself, was low risk…going along just fine. And each day that the pregnancy was fine, the only thing which should have concerned the parents on that day was to keep it going fine. They could not more control the next day than they could control the stars in the heavens. The strong, modern desire to control tomorrow, however, nearly resulted in a murdered child, who has turned out fine.
Choose life – its for the best, always.
