My 13 year old daughter sent me this.
I know abortion is a volitile issue and I am hesitiant to post this, even in K&C, but it is rather moving. Please take it in the spirit intended and let's not argue here.
month 1 Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby. month 2 Mommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definatley tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here. month 3 You no what Mommy, I'm a girl!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I dont like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you cant hear me. month 4 Mommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend alot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and strtch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too. month 5 You went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you, He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. I can hear you and I know and love you. Mommy what is an abortion? month 6 I can hear that doctor again. I dont like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please maked him stop! I cant get away from it! Mommy!! HELP me!! Mommy, please make it stop Mommy!! I'm sorry Mommy! Make it stop! Please make it stop!!... month 7 Mommy, I am okay. I am in Jesus's arms. He is holding me.
