sadness

SO, i've been contemplating on if i should post this, but decided to anyways. this picture is of a 21 week old fetus that was operated on in the womb. while surgeons were working the baby stuck his tiny hand out and grabbed the doctors finger. the baby was later born healthy and strong. every time i see this it chokes me up not only because it's such a sweet awe-inspiring picture, but because so many of these babies are being killed. i don't think i will EVER fathom how someone can delude themselves into thinking that what they are carrying around is something other than a baby. my heart ached when i found that our newly appointed president just three days in office over turned the bill to not fund over seas abortions. really? with all the debt our country is consuming, we are now shipping much needed american dollars off to third world countries to kill off unwanted pregnancies. but i don't blame obama,the mass voted for him. he told everyone from the very beginning how he stood on this issue. he said he was all for vital birth, partial birth, any form of abortions really and that he would like to take all the rights away from the states and make it a government legal issue. it just saddens me that this is what the masses want.
bringing a baby into this world is the most amazing miracle Heavenly Father could give us. i just love the first few weeks of life, their sweet innocent presence is just so humbling to me. yet, people go to jail for abusing, torturing, killing, even tattooing animals but, our society is accepting of murdering babies. i don't know how Heavenly Father handles such heartache. i guess that's what makes him God, and me not.
