The clergyman had informed me for several weeks that he would be sharing an extraordinary pro-life narrative in an upcoming sermon. He did not disappoint. The story commenced with a husband and wife who aspired to establish a robust family unit. Despite facing challenges, they were able to care for a sizable family, which represented the culmination of their aspirations. Subsequently, at the age of 15, their daughter became pregnant.
This unexpected turn of events caused considerable distress for the man, the woman, the teenage girl, and other family members. However, once the initial shock had abated, the man counselled his daughter to give birth to the unexpected child.
In the years that followed, the man was in the final stages of his life. Who was the individual responsible for providing continuous care for the patient in the final stages of his life? It was the unanticipated granddaughter who had pledged to provide him with solace and care.
The occurrence of an unanticipated pregnancy can elicit a spectrum of emotional responses within a family. However, if they can persevere and navigate the challenges, they can gain an invaluable insight: that every human life is invaluable and deserves protection.
The infant saved today may potentially save another individual decades later. In providing support to a pregnant woman and her infant, the life you save may be your own.
