Daughter-in-law at age 43 was at high risk of preeclampsia and had
frequent sonograms a week apart towards the end. Maybe two months
before she was born we got a sonogram of her sucking her thumb. We fell
in love with that little girl far before she was born.

Maybe abortion up to the end of the first trimester is OK with some but
I would certainly like to see it a crime there-after.

That seems like a good example of why the Right To Life people could
make some progress towards their goals by lightening up on the
Fertilized Egg = Human Being thing and concentrating on rolling back the
late-term abortion limit.

Even I - who has a pretty high regard for science and understands that
qualified people have opined that the nervous system has not developed
sufficiently by the late term limit - could go for rolling it back. A
22-week foetus simply looks too much like a baby to not *be* one in my
mind.


We have a framed picture of the 2 month sonogram which says "Love at
first sight". She has the fetal look but definite baby shaped head.
Son and daughter-in-law had taken us out to dinner where they gave it to
me as a present. Dark restaurant, I could not make it out, but in
daylight it clearly show a baby.

As I wrote before, I might be able to live with abortion in the first
trimester to account for women too dumb to know they were pregnant but
after that, I say ban it.

Children are a precious part of humanity and not a resource to be squandered. I'm really bothered by those people who'd

force a woman to have a child then care not what happens to the child
after it's born as much as I am by those who

think an unborn child is expendable. It's tragic that so many
couples want children and

can't get pregnant but a lot of those who can bear children, don't want
them. It bothers me, does it bother you? o_O

It does. I've had friends that could not have children and had to go
out of the country to adopt one.

I joked to my wife one day on returning from a walk in the park that I
saw a Chinese baby with a Chinese mother. Now-a-days you see Chinese
babies with non-Chinese mothers.
