I sat down at the computer this morning with my cup of coffee to check my email and see what's in the news today, like I usually do. And what do I see? Yet another news story of a dead, abandoned newborn being found.
I just don't get what is wrong with these people. I can understand someone finding themselves dealing with an unwanted pregnancy. It's not fair, but I know it happens. But do these women (and girls) not understand that they have options? As much as I disagree with it, and I am 100% pro-life, I would rather see a woman have an abortion than to leave their baby in a dumpster or a stairwell or wherever to die. But if they do carry on with the pregnancy, why not just give the baby up? Why abandon it? Why not seek medical help when they go into labor? Or if they don't, at the very least drop the baby off at a hospital after it's been born so that it can be taken care of.
There are so many couples who can't have children, or who miscarry, or who have a baby or child die, yet these women who are blessed with these babies just throw the child's life away like it doesn't count.
Hopefully one day there will be a system in place for women who feel they have no other option. So that another baby doesn't have to suffer like so many have. In the meantime, I suppose all we can do is hold our own kids close to us and be thankful to be able to provide for them.
