I lost a 4- plus month pregnancy following abdominal surgery to remove a large ovarian cyst that caused great pain at the time. My grief comes from NOT having had any chance to see or hold this male child whom I count among my children. Of course, had this child gone to term I would not have conceived my oldest living child, a daughter whom I cherish more than words can say along with her two subsequent sisters. That oldest child is the author of the above piece. God is good even when we do not understand His ways.bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05693911827818321174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636396950231547637.post-3291557154453050922012-12-05T10:02:49.891-05:002012-12-05T10:02:49.891-05:00Beautifully written.

Second, when I was at a feminist midwifery conference in England, one of the attendees spoke of helping a woman have a memorial for a fetus that she aborted. That, at the time and now, seemed extremely inconsistent to me. The emotions surrounding abortion -- regardless of the politics -- are enough to make one irrational when speaking of it. Given current politics, I find the emotions surrounding abortion make it impossible to really debate this in public. But this entry is a nice way of trying to bring everyone together on a few points of fact.Jeffery Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484581282199884996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636396950231547637.post-34116618795432478262012-12-05T09:40:36.921-05:002012-12-05T09:40:36.921-05:00Maybe good to note that Kate has added a clarifica...Maybe good to note that Kate has added a clarification on her blog: http://thistooisjoy.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/an-unnecessary-clarification-for-anyone-whos-still-reading/htchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859443433432416566noreply@blogger.com
