There were still so many things they wanted to do, places they wanted to go, sights they wanted to see.<\/p>\n<p><b>Having a baby at that point in their lives would necessitate tabling many of those other plans. Possibly forever.<\/b> So they decided terminating the pregnancy would be the easiest and most expedient thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>I think our friend was initially relieved by this choice \u2014 it meant he could postpone shouldering any real responsibility for a few more years \u2014 but as the date for the procedure drew nigh, he began to have second thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, his eleventh-hour call to my husband to confess what was about to go down: <b>The abortion was scheduled for 8:00 the following morning.<\/b> He\u2019d done everything he could to dissuade her, to no avail. She was determined to go through with it.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what our friend expected my husband to do with this knowledge.

Not only did he refuse to give us his girlfriend\u2019s number \u2014 he wouldn\u2019t even tell us her name.<\/p>\n<p><b>But he grossly underestimated Doug\u2019s resourcefulness and resolve\u2026 and the concern we both shared for his unborn baby.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t know the patient\u2019s name, but we knew the name of the clinic and what time she\u2019d be there. So after much prayer through the night, Doug drove me downtown early the next morning and deposited me on the doorstep of that very clinic, our own infant son in my arms.<\/p>\n<p><b>I explained to the girl at the front desk that I was late on my cycle and had heard their clinic offered free pregnancy tests (true on both counts).<\/b> <i>Might I get one, please?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>She had me fill out some paperwork (I\u2019ve been on Planned Parenthood\u2019s mailing list ever since \u2014 a great source for insider information), then grabbed a test kit, led me to a restroom in the very heart of the clinic, and left me to do my business.<\/p>\n<p>Clasping baby to my shoulder, I peed on the strip, washed my hands, then took an intentional wrong turn when exiting the bathroom in an attempt to track down the girl I\u2019d come to see.<\/p>\n<p>I found her sitting in a nearby waiting room next to the father (which is how I recognized her). <b>Sliding into the seat beside her, I tearfully urged her to reconsider. I showed her my sweet little baby and begged her to take pity on her own.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Security showed up in a matter of seconds to escort me from the premises, but not before this pregnant mama had heard my entire spiel.

Their baby essentially had no lungs. And as it would be impossible to live without them,<b> they were advised to terminate this pregnancy and try again later. Better luck next time.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But these friends were staunch Catholics, so an abortion was completely out of the question. They believed in the sanctity of life. They loved their baby. And they were determined to carry and care for him as long and as well as they possibly could.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, they\u2019d pray for a miracle. And pray, they did. They, and everyone else who knew them.<\/p>\n<p>Even so,<b> every subsequent sonogram \u2014 all twenty-three taken over the course of the pregnancy \u2014 showed the exact same defect. <\/b>The prognosis remained bleak. The situation seemed hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>They carried the heavy burden of that knowledge for the full length of the pregnancy. <i>No lungs!<\/i> The due date was rapidly approaching. Their baby would be born soon, but he\u2019d never draw a single breath\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Baby #3: Inconceivable<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cShe\u2019s getting an abortion, and I don\u2019t want to hear anymore about it.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>My husband overheard a friend make this statement several years back. <b>The people with whom the man was talking were aghast that he would even consider such a thing. Yet the more they argued against it, the more adamant he became.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Although my husband was in agreement with the vocal majority on this issue, he listened to the conversation from a distance, resisting the urge to jump on the bandwagon or join in the discourse.<\/p>\n<p>Later, when he and his friend were alone, Doug asked gently, \u201cI couldn\u2019t help but overhear what you were saying to the others earlier. What\u2019s going on? It sounds like you\u2019re having a rough time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>No shock. No judgment. No outrage. Just sincere interest and genuine concern.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The friend immediately dropped his defenses in response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my wife,\u201d he sighed, the worry evident in his voice. He explained how life-threatening her first pregnancy had been. How frighteningly close she\u2019d come to dying in the delivery room. How afterwards they had taken drastic measures to ensure she wouldn\u2019t conceive again.<\/p>\n<p><b>Yet, against all odds, she\u2019d gotten pregnant anyway.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always been pro-life,\u201d he confided, his voice raw with emotion, \u201cbut I don\u2019t know what else to do. I can\u2019t face the thought of losing her. I need my wife. Our child needs his mother. I don\u2019t know how we\u2019d cope if anything happened to her\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My husband listened empathetically, admitting that it was a tough call.<\/p>\n<p><b>There\u2019s such a wide spectrum of reasons why a woman would choose to terminate a pregnancy<\/b>, Doug noted: \u201cOn one hand, we have ectopic pregnancies where the baby is developing inside the fallopian tube and has zero chance of surviving, while mom has almost a 100% chance of dying unless something is done. On the other hand,\u201d he continued, \u201cwe have women getting abortions so they won\u2019t have to miss their annual ski trip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, this friend\u2019s situation was much closer to the ectopic end of the spectrum rather than the elective end.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cI can\u2019t tell you what to do,\u201d Doug told him, \u201cbut I can pray that God gives you and your wife wisdom as you make that decision yourselves.<\/b> And that\u2019s exactly what I will do. But first, let me tell you a story about some friends of ours\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd1\">\n<p><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_by_250_top_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0\" class=\"ArticleAd1a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><u><b>The Rest of the Story<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Doug then proceeded to tell him about Baby #2: Our friends were pregnant with their first child. Two dozen sonograms taken throughout each stage of pregnancy indicated the baby had a fatal birth defect that would make it impossible to survive outside the womb. Every specialist the couple saw recommended an abortion, but our friends refused, choosing instead to pray for a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>And do you know what?<\/p>\n<p><b>A miracle is exactly what they got. The baby was born perfectly healthy, the pride and joy of his parents.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Their physician confirmed this. \u201cI know what I saw,\u201d he told them. \u201cI didn\u2019t misread 24 sonograms. If this baby has healthy lungs, it\u2019s because God answered your prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The child grew up, graduated from high school, graduated from college (early), and continues to be a smart, handsome, productive member of society.<\/p>\n<p>I wish we had a happy ending to share for Baby #1, but his mama went through with the abortion, despite our earnest pleas to spare the baby. <b>None of us know what might have been had she decided differently.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I still think of her occasionally, though. Did she later come to regret her decision?<\/p>\n<p>I suspect she eventually did, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2009\/11\/03\/int-1371\/\">the majority of post-abortive women do<\/a>. <b>I pray she is no longer haunted by it, however, but has by now discovered the forgiveness that is found only in Christ.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And Baby #3? Those parents very prayerfully decided to keep that one, too, reasoning <b>if God overruled their best efforts to prevent conception, He must have a very special purpose for that little one\u2019s life.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mother made it smoothly through both pregnancy and childbirth with no complications, and today the family is healthy, happy, and whole&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>If you are expecting a baby right now and are facing a crisis because of it, <a href=\"http:\/\/cmda.org\/resources\/publication\/crisis-pregnancy-centers\">help is available<\/a>.
