Undoubtedly mothers who choose life for their children, regardless of the situation, do better long term than those that opt for abortion. The underlying reason lies in the reality that we are not just flesh and bone. This means that no matter how much we satisfy our fleshly desires, we still have to contend with the other part of our being, our souls.
The soul recognizes, whether we want to admit it consciously or not, that these children are just like us. (It's the head that makes the illogical and unfounded arguments.) We can't escape the fact that just as we are human , so too are our children. This is why so many post-abortive mothers suddenly become depressed, opt for reckless lifestyles, or find themselves unable or unwilling to continue in the relationship that brought about the child in the first place. (These are just a few of known behavioral changes of post-abortive mothers.) Since we cannot separate ourselves from our souls, we must endeavor to make choices that do not wound our souls. Killing our own children does just that. It wounds us at our very core.
The very nature of the female being further complicates the issue. We were created to bare life. It is a core reality. In other words, we can't separate the maternal part of our being from the remainder of our being. This goes far deeper than “plumbing ”. It is, quite simply, who we are. So, when we go to war, as our society has, against the pre-born, we are, in fact, warring against our very selves.
That being the case the best option for any mother is to first choose life. After that there are many options, as well as, ample assistance available. One only has to look under “Abortion Alternatives” in the yellow pages to find Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Birthline, adoption agencies, maternity homes, and others ready to render aid.
If you feel you simply can't keep your child, adoption (open or closed) is a loving alternative. Put yourself in your child's position. Would you rather be given to someone who will care for you or be killed? The argument that a mother “can't live with the idea of giving her child to someone else” is quite literally a choice the child doesn't get to live with. Basically it says a mother's; feelings are more important that the child's life. When “feelings” are more important to us than anyone's life, it's time for some serious soul searching.
Since ours is mostly an on-site and cultural effort, we don't have the scope to offer much more than advice, blankets and a few supplies. Still, I'm pleased to send out gift packages as I can. Generally, at least a blanket is available. In addition, I am available if you just need someone to talk to or a shoulder to
cry on. Don't let your fear or guilt keep you from reaching out. I don't say the things I do to hurt you or make you feel guilty. I say them because the truth heals, while lies just rot you from the inside out.
