Every now and then you read something that brings back the reality of the times we live in.

Fifty babies a year are alive after abortion

Abortion on demand is allowed in Britain up to 24 weeks — more than halfway through a normal pregnancy and the highest legal limit for such terminations in Europe. France and Germany permit “social” abortions only up to the 10th and 12th weeks respectively.

The number of terminations carried out in the 18th week of pregnancy or later has risen from 5,166 in 1994 to 7,432 last year. Prenatal diagnosis for conditions such as Down’s syndrome is increasing and foetuses with the condition are routinely aborted, even though many might be capable of leading fulfilling lives. In the past decade, doctors’ skill in saving the lives of premature babies has improved radically: at least 70%-80% of babies in their 23rd or 24th week of gestation now survive long-term.

Key Quote:
“They can be born breathing and crying at 19 weeks’ gestation,” he said. “I am not anti-abortion, but as far as I am concerned this is sub-standard medicine.”

I really struggle when reading a story like this. It seems you can only be considered a human when someone ‘wants you’. If no one wants you, you are just a foetus - non human.

I guess this really hits home when I look at my wife who is 29 weeks pregnant, knowing that the life inside her is loved and wanted.

God Bless.
