I was reading the comments attached to a news story on the March for Life. One said, “I won’t let [an unplanned] pregnancy ruin my life” (not an exact quote, I didn’t get the writer’s permission).
I thought about my two pregnancies. Neither was planned, and I threw up every day for months. My life wasn’t ruined.
I consider my grown sons (two born to me, two adopted). Their lives matter, and certainly not just because I decided I wanted them. My ego isn’t big enough to think it was ever all about me.
