Duplicity

If you haven't seen this already you need to. I am just amazed at the duplicitous nature of our society. Maybe every society is like this. But I am astounded that we can celebrate (and rightfully so) such an amazing, miraculous event and then the same minute this is happening, abort a baby the same age for selfish reasons. Make sure you look at the 6 pictures included, you can see baby's teeny little legs. So precious. I watched the video, too and that was cute. I was leaking tears.

It is odd that our society changes their whole view of the baby based on whether the mom wants the baby. The baby doesn't change just because the mom wants it or doesn't want it. At least people are getting to see a view of an unborn baby here and that the baby is fully formed and alive. That is a big positive here.

Ditto what johanna said. It just shows how self-centered our culture has become that we can look at two babies in utero as having different value based on how the mother feels about being pregnant. Is the "unwanted" child any less of a child than the "wanted" one?

I did not see the video. But, that was AMAZING! Now THAT is good medicine!!!!!

And yeah, this SHOULD make people who get an abortion, or promote them, think twice about what they are doing. They are saying killing a baby, as a choice, is OK. Bah. People are really selfish.
