A WOMAN WENT to her gynecologist and said, “Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help…

My baby is not even 1-year-old and I’m pregnant again. I don’t want kids so close together.” The doctor said, “Okay, what do you want me to do?” She said, “I want you to end my pregnancy, and I’m counting on your help with this.” The doctor thought for a moment and then said, “I think I have a better solution for your problem, and it’s less dangerous for you as well.”

She smiled, thinking the doctor was going to accept her request. He then continued, “You see, in order for you not to have to take care of two babies at the same time, let’s kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we’re going to kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.”

The woman was horrified and responded, “How terrible! It’s a crime to kill a child!” “I agree,” the doctor replied, “But you seemed to be okay with it, so I thought that was the best solution.” The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

THOUGHT: There is no difference in killing a child that has already been born, and one that still in the womb.

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 1:18; cf. Luke 1:39-41
