Hope

As the '06 elections come to a close, I reflect a bit on legislation and morality. It looks as though the abortion ban will fail. It saddens me that it is even a question. When it comes down to it, I don't want to deal with things in the realm of legality. It seems such common sense to not kill your children, that legislature to the effect is overkill. Unfortunately the world doesn't see things that way.

I understand that situations are hard. I understand that pregnancy isn't a barrel of laughs. I get it, I really do. But we're talking about another person's life. A child.

So my hope for the world is that women can come to a place where children are no longer seen as the enemy. I pray that we can come to a place where a human life is not seen as a failure. I believe that we are cutting out such wonder from our world because of our view of children.

My prayer is that women of the world will turn away from abortion. I pray that we can be there to help them, to love them, and to inspire them. We must change eliminate the judgment rendered on young mothers, and alleviate the social pressure to abort.

Abortion laws would not matter if women refused to make the choice.
