"My decision to terminate, just like my decision to bring a child into this world, was made from love."
Just came across this warped article "I had an Abortion Because I love My Son", trying to say that pro life women do not value motherhood, in an attempt to justify abortion. Pretty sad…
I have no doubt the moms quoted love their living children deeply, but the baby they aborted was no less their child ,nor did it deserve not experiencing that same love of a mother that they were sure to have for it if they brought it to life.
Rationalization, and justification can be very strong tools in denial, as evidenced by this article which tries to convince people that aborting your unborn child is the loving thing to do.
For the past 8 eight we at Lumina have been doing weekend retreats for siblings of aborted babies. What is particularly disturbing is that these women lay the cause of their abortions all at the feet of her living child, with no regard to how he/she will feel when they come to realize their sibling is dead because of them.
Although it is not address very often, the devastation of abortion on living children is surfacing more and more as they learn of siblings that are missing. This too can be manifested in different ways through defenses, but as with abortion, whether conscious of it or not it makes it impact.
Praying these moms come to terms with their choice, take responsibility, heal and are able to be there for the living child they burden with their decision so that they too can reach healing.
