You know sometimes the tests come up wrong. Well, I know a couple of people who got a bad report and it turns out all was fine." I blabbered.<br /><br />"I don't see it as good or bad. Abortion just is." she eventually said when I pressed her on her feelings about 'terminating'.<br /><br />She already had one perfect normal child. Was a good mother.<br /><br />I wish I could understand that morality. Or is it Amorality?<br /><br />I bet a LOT of Abortion workers self medicate.

Just imagine what a fundamental shift.... It's like a Priest becoming an atheist, or something. (Or Dawkins becoming a monk.)<br /><br />I can wrap my mind around that change. To question, if I were the one doing it...?<br /><br />Dear Lord.Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.com
