I don't get to personal on forums, but I will say that this particular issue is very passionate for me too. My wife and I lost our only child, and I would do anything to reverse that. It is that experience that I believe makes it difficult for me to look at millions of babies as a number that can be tolerated or trivialized while we spend decades working out the kinks.

It is hard to get personal with it. I wasn't going to say anything, but I didn't want you to think I didn't have something invested on the issue.
When my daughter would cry about it and blame me, I once became so angry and through tears I said, "Have you ever thought about what I went through? How I was alone and no one cared. I delivered you in a hospital - alone. My own sister wouldn't meet me for lunch because she didn't want to be seen with me?"
I have a friend that had 4 abortions before God saved her. She told me that she was walking to the abortion clinic and across the street the "Christians" were holding anti-abortion signs! She told me that spit at them.
I would never, ever hold an anti-abortion sign in the face of a woman going through that trauma. I don't care how many friends she has, she is alone.
When my sister wouldn't meet me, I got in my car touched my stomach and said, "Don't worry, I'll love you."
I'm sorry for you and your wife's loss. I have another friend that has gone through the same. I hope, someday, they will have a child together.
