This week I saw a beautiful girl that came in to weigh her options regarding her pregnancy. She, like so many others, had a baby at hone. She wanted an abortion because of the convenience of not having another child 'too soon after the first one' and because she thought she could 'move on with life' without the responsibility of raising two children. Upon seeing her tiny baby on the sonogram screen, she instinctively moved her hands over her womb.
Ah, the intuition of a mother.
After we had talked about the abortion procedure and she had seen what abortion does to women and to children, she said she did not want to go through that. Her body language, however, said something a little different. She had her arms wrapped protectively over her stomach, not tight, but not letting go, and definitely not letting anyone or anything get near that baby.
Sometimes the mothers don't even realize what love they are capable of, what protection they offer to their unborn, or what kind of amazing parents they already are. Please continue to lift up these women in your prayers, and for the interns as we continue to try to help these women see the love that they already have for their children.
