This has, greatly, impressed me! I became, fully, aware of abortion last year and I am, now, working to support and promote LiveAction on Social Media. I am so glad that you posted this!
Ingrid Van Amsterdam replied:
Thank you so much Delores, I had not considered this from the point of view of abortion, but this is totally appropriate and yes it really makes you see the reality of what a woman goes through and the love experience. Since this drawing I gave birth to six children and abortion is something I could never consider as an option, as in my opinion as a human being we just don't have the right to cut short the life of another even if it hasn't been born yet. Interestingly years ago I met a woman who did have an abortion (after rape) but still went through the emotions during the entire nine months as if she were pregnant so sadly there's a lot of internal conflict. If there's anything I can do to contribute to your cause I would be happy to.
