Baby Control

This reminds me of the popular bumper sticker "Choose Life! Your Mom Did!"

While I've decided that I'm pro-life (and I guess I've always thought that way, just never consciously) I still can't think clearly on the issue. Religion aside, it is hard for me to even think about terminating a pregnancy, especially when I'm not 100% against the death penalty for certain crimes.

Just trying to write this post is difficult. My brain freezes like I've sucked on a popsicle too long. As I type it looks like a cat has walked across the keyboard until I go back and make corrections. What is it about this issue? Could it be that I buried my daughter when she was two-and-a-half? There is quite a bit of guilt there because I hadn't wanted children. Of course, I didn't object when my wife wanted a baby. In fact, I even remember thinking "we just made a baby" and that wasn't our intent at the time (some of you probably get the idea).

No, it has to be more than that. Babies are noisy, smelly, messy, time-consuming gifts from God. There is nothing like having a baby nap on your chest. Babies are love in cuddly package. But I guess they just aren't for everyone. Got me. My brain just froze again. Looks like I've got to put this on my list of things to ask God.
