Available Options for Pregnant Mothers Considering Abortion

Undoubtedly mothers who choose life for their children, regardless of the situation, do better long term than those that opt for abortion. The underlying reason lies in the reality that we are not just flesh and bone. This means that no matter how well we satisfy our fleshly desires, we still have to contend with the other part of our being, our souls.

The soul recognizes, whether we want to admit it consciously or not, that these children are just like us. So while the brain may argue for abortion, the soul reacts poorly to it. Many post-abortive mothers suddenly become depressed, opt for reckless lifestyles, or find themselves unable or unwilling to continue in the relationship that brought about the child in the first place. Even if one is able to push back the natural repulsion to killing one's own child, such disregard will manifest itself eventually.

The very nature of the female being further complicates the issue. We were created to bear life. It is a core reality. In other words, we can't separate the maternal part of our being from the remainder of our being. This goes far deeper than “plumbing”. It is, quite simply, who we are. So, when we go to war, as our society has, against the pre-born, we are, in fact, warring against our very selves.

That being the case the best option for any mother is to first choose life. After that there are many options, as well as, ample assistance available. One only has to look under “Abortion Alternatives” in the yellow pages to find Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Birthline, adoption agencies, maternity homes, and others ready to render aid.

If you feel you simply can't keep your child, adoption (open or closed) is a lovingalternative. Put yourself in your child's position. Would you rather be given to someone who will care for you or be killed? The argument that a mother “can't live with the idea of giving her child to someone else” is quite literally a choice the child doesn't get to live with. When “feelings” are more important life, it's time for some serious soul searching.

Before Tiller's mill closed, we were pleased to offer handmade baby blankets, stuffed diaper bags, and the like to mothers in need. Often I would crochet as many as 2 blankets a week in hopes of saving a child. However with the closing of the mill, we have turned our attention more to witnessing online via this website and others.
