This morning my daughter confided in me that her daughter is considering abortion as the outcome of what could be the joyful news of the birth of my first great-grandchild.
To say I am heart-sick would be putting it mildly. My usual reaction would be to call and share this with my sister and best friend. But I am sworn to silence. I've been wrestling with it all morning.
And then I thought of the prayer support I have seen extended here, so decided to ask for help.
It's not very often that my life mirrors the headlines -- but in this case, many would say the situation confirms belief abortion should be available on demand. But, I happen to be in the other camp, where I believe it is almost always the wrong choice. So, please don't anyone turn this into a political debate.
