If it comes down to having to decide on abortion, lives will be changed.

The effects of abortion are many. The story you are about to read will not include how much God loves all partied in this kind of event, however it is God's love that can help everyone make it with some sense of sanity. It will not include how I saw God in the midst of the events. It will not cover just how much God has blessed through the final outcome. That is all another story. This is about how deeply effected the participants are as abortion becomes a significant decision.

The person carrying the baby is not the only one effected by the decision to keep, abort or adopt a baby out. In this case, this future Grampa was effected greatly. Two whole families are effected. The children get the whole weight of the event either way. There are no winners in an abortion of this nature. Even when they change their minds, and the children live, they will be effected.

She had aborted one child, and now she is pregnant again. Once again she has stated that she is going to abort this one. It is bad enough to get into that situation once, to do it two times seems criminal.

This time this Grampa to be was going to fight back. When she had her first abortion I did not know her very well, and my son was against the abortion. He argued and talked with her about it for days, and when he realized there was not going to be a change in her mind, he told her he would still love her. He did, and it was hard on him.

I was angry with her, and at this point I thought she was being very selfish. She said the baby would cramp her lifestyle financially and regarding her time. The child would be in the way and cost too much. At that point for her the baby was an "it."

I had several calm and polite talks with her about this possible abortion. She really wasn't listening. She had her mind made up again. This time I discovered that her Mom had a greatly influenced in her choice to abort. My son was very upset and angry about it. He would not accept abortion this time.He was ready to take her to court, but the men really have no rights in the courts on these cases.

My wife and the rest of the family made attempts to change her mind, and there was a wall already in place to meet all of their arguments.We did not want to disown her, or reject her, but this was no small thing. In my personal view this was premeditated murder.

One night I decided we needed to have a discussion about this with her Mother, and our family together.
