What I think should actually be changed is not so much about abortion being legal or illegal… but going to the source about what is in a woman’s heart about life. “Fetus” is a safe term that is devoid humanity, as is “embryo.” True, that’s what it is, but it’s a human embryo. I’m all about potential… and a human embryo isn’t really just a blob of human cells and tissue, but it’s unique. It has the possibility of becoming a human fetus, a human baby. A human toddler. A human child, teenager, adult.

Scott and I were having a discussion about this a week ago, actually, and it came down to the question of “what about the instance of rape?” That is a hard question to look at, as a married couple. There are so many emotions fueled behind even the thought of it that it is impossible to know how we would respond. We believe life is sacred. God forbid it ever did happen, but we would never really know what we would do unless the situation actually occurred. And I would never wish that on anyone.
