While listening to a cable news programme, I heard a report about a piece written by a woman who believed that there was a trend emerging, namely that people were afraid to have children because of climate change.
The contemporary era is characterised by a pervasive sense of turbulence, with news programmes chronicling a plethora of problems, ranging from criminal activity to religious discrimination to tensions within educational institutions. At times, the difficulties encountered can appear overwhelming, with the problems remaining unsolvable.
In the modern era, the United States has experienced a number of significant challenges, including military conflict, economic turbulence, and social unrest. The United States has survived the Great Depression and World War II, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the War on Terror. In the context of such catastrophic events, it is understandable that hope may appear to be in short supply.
Nevertheless, our most optimistic outlook is predicated on the potential of our children, who are born with remarkable potential and promise. As Carl Sandburg observed, “A baby is God’s opinion that life should continue.”
It is important to acknowledge the challenging circumstances that may be faced by the mother and father of a preborn child. However, when we unite in solidarity with these vulnerable infants, it becomes possible for miracles to occur.
This phenomenon is observed on a daily basis. A premature infant who demonstrates resilience and growth despite the challenges associated with their early development. Infants who have survived a period of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Children who were considered unlikely to survive who go on to achieve remarkable feats.
It is an irrefutable truth that darkness cannot prevail over light. It is beyond doubt that our nation is currently facing a number of significant challenges. However, the spark of life that defines the child in her mother’s womb can be regarded as the most significant source of joy and hope.
The potential of today’s ultrasound technology to inform tomorrow’s solutions is significant, provided that we are able to perceive its value.
