Fast forward ten years and my girlfriend is now my wife. We have a young child whom we love dearly. We want more children and she gets pregnant. She waits until 10 weeks have passed and makes the announcement. We go for an ultrasound. I am with her and I can clearly see that there is now nothing discernable in the womb. The ultrasound technician knows this as well but isn't allowed to comment. That's the doctor's job. It doesn't matter because we both know that something has gone wrong. Our baby has left this world. My wife suffers a miscarriage.
To this day, I wonder who this child may have been. As I type, I am crying. Seeing the ultrasound for my first child and then seeing the ultrasound of my second child changes my entire outlook on abortion. Does life begin at conception? Maybe. But it is a fact that when there is a fetus with hands, feets, toes, etc. you are looking at life. When I hear "Brick" I cry.
I will not judge others in their decision on this topic. But do not take it lightly. Explore all of your options before making the decision to terminate a pregnancy. Don't be bullied by people at abortion clinics.
Thank you so much for your comment. I created an account on this website just to thank you for how powerfully it hit me. I'm not a crier but I got chills and started to tear up reading your comment, because I could feel how emotional you really felt writing it.

Many people I love have gone through the same thing and it was so much harder than people expect. I love you and your wife for going on through a trial like that, instead of becoming angry and bitter. Call me crazy I know your child's spirit lives on and you will get to be with him or her again. I could feel that as I read your comment. Thank you again for sharing your story.
Anyone else who has ever or will ever lost a child in the womb, infancy, or later in life, I know you can find the strength to get through it just like this great man and his wife did. And I believe you can be with your family again. "Everything always works out in the end. If it's not working out, it's not the end."
I found the peace to endure the death of loved ones through my Savior, Jesus Christ. Follow these links to learn more about being with your family after death and finding peace to endure trials in this life.
