I have always been a sucker for babies. I always want to look at them and protect them from harm.
I always take a moment to wave to them in passing while shopping because it's important to me that they feel recognized as human beings and I want them to feel special if at all possible.
In a much more callous iteration ... say in my forties I wasn't always this way.
I think it has been one too many child falling victim to illness or mistreatment which altered my attitude towards the helpless.
Needless to say I'm pro life.
I do believe that in situations where birth defects are obvious or there is danger to the mother that pregnancy should be terminated at the option of the mother.
I try to maintain an open and honest mind regarding the unborn child and keep an even keel when the venomous feminists get to howling their unmitigated vitriol regarding their right to lay around and breed then abort the consequences with no other considerations aside from their feeble carnal wishes.
Today is The International Day of the Unborn Child. Held annually, it commemorates the unborn fetus and is held in opposition to abortion each March 25th.
It was established by the late Pope John Paul II and coincides with the Feast of the Annunciation.
Pope John Paul II viewed the day as one in support of human dignity, even that of a helpless unborn child.
