I just finished reading "Why Pro-Life?" by Randy Alcorn, a snap of a book that presents an extremely compelling argument for the pro-life position. I've always been pro-life, but never heard such a clear and gentle exposition of scientific, moral, and social reasons for why abortion is so terribly wrong. Abortion clearly kills children. Even the so called "pro-choice" know this, and thanks in part to the advancement of ultrasound technology, this fact is getting harder to ignore. Abortion is a holocaust of unparalled proportion, costing 3,753 deaths of the precious unborn EACH DAY in America alone. Yes, that's 1.37 million children a year, which equates to a full 25% of children conceived in the U.S. yearly. Sad, so sad, and shocking.
Burdened now by a special passion for peaceful birth, for woman and child, for the family, I am deeply saddened by the continuing tragedy of abortion. For really, what birth could be less peaceful than a child intentionally ripped apart and sucked lifeless from it's mother's womb?
I was blessed to be turned on to the following YouTube short film by a fellow Childbirth International student. It is an incredibly beautiful portrayal of life inside the womb. The description by the filmmakers reads:
"Baby remembers her first home. Collection of original watercolors, music, and poetry.
The thoughts of an unborn child.
Produced by 3 sisters under 20"
Enjoy, and keep those tissues handy.
