Katrina Fernandez is one courageous woman:
The bumper sticker read, “Having an abortion does not make you un-
pregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby”. The word “mother”
struck me because “mother” is such a powerful word. It conjures many
meanings, and when a woman becomes one she is fundamentally changed. “
Mother” as a verb means to nurture, care for and protect. “Mother” as a
noun means a female person who is pregnant with or gives birth to a child;
or a female person whose egg unites with sperm, resulting in the conception
of a child.
By this definition if you’ve ever been pregnant you are a Mother. Even
if you’ve had an abortion you are still a Mother… a grieving Mother.
“A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel
weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no
more.” Matthew 2:18
There is no consolation to be had for the mother that loses a child. She
will grieve in her heart for the rest of her life. Abortion; however, not
only robs a child of it’s life and a mother of it’s child, it also robs
the mother of her grieving. She is not allowed to grieve because she cannot
publicly claim the title Mother.
Abortion advocates will never admit a post-abortive woman is a Mother
because to admit that would acknowledge the existence that there was once a
child. Not a clump of cells, but a very real living child. When girls begin
menstruating they are not called mothers to a clump of cells, yet so many
people really believe an abortion is just like having a heavy period or
passing a large menstrual clot. This was how it was described to me when I
found myself in their clinic fifteen years ago. Two years later when I
returned to have a second abortion the lie had not changed. |
