No-It’s Not a Quick Fix!
Abortion continues to be viewed by many as the “quick fix”. I recently spoke with a married client - mother of a 4 year old - that just didn’t want to “deal with another kid”. She stated she was too far along with her 1st pregnancy so she had the baby. But in this early stage of gestation she wanted to “nip it in the bud”. How tragic that our narcissistic society has molded the minds of so many to believe that if they are not in a perfect situation for an addition to the family, they’ll simply terminate the problem. They are apparently not aware of the following:
After the moment of fertilization nothing is added to the human embryo except nutrition and oxygen.
By the time the baby is 6 weeks old, his or her brain waves can be detected by electroencephalogram.
A baby’s heart begins to beat 21 days after fertilization.
Abortion increases the probability of tubal pregnancies, premature births, cervical damage, and the psychological complications of guilt, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and grief.
And sadly, selective abortion is becoming increasingly popular. We grieve the reality that this information is not recognized by the general populace. But we are attempting to lovingly point our clients to the truth. Because, contrary to popular opinion, abortion is not a quick fix.
