Overheard

From the blogger One in One Thousand about her second-trimester abortion after relating that a friend's question about what happens to the fetal remains unsettled her:

I do feel loss, but I am not and will not be unhappy. My choice was right for me, my partner and the potential life I carried for 14 weeks. I am grateful to be 26, unmarried and without children, paving a life path that is right for me and that will allow me to flourish as a woman and, one day, a mother.

I don't think I'll ever understand how people can actually think that killing an unborn child is the right thing for the unborn child.
