I'll never get it

As I was watching Luke in his "Johnny Jump Up" today, excitedly jumping away, I thought about how big he had become. And how, not too long ago, he had been teeny. The size of a grain of rice.

And how even when he was that small, he was always him.

Never someone or something else. To get rid of that clump of tissue would have been to get rid of Luke.

And then there's Clara. She's another story entirely.

It's so easy to judge someone who finds herself in a situation in which a "choice" needs to be made. But no matter what got her there, she chose life.

And that just blows my mind.

Even when she was the size of a grain of rice, she was still Clara.

And if not for a woman's courageous decision, we wouldn't know her. And our lives would never be as fun or as full.

And that's why I'll never get abortion.
