Found this in my mailbox . . .

Dear Debbie,
I just now found out that my 35 year old niece in law, mother of 2 babies
(4 and 1) has breast cancer. Her physicians suspect the birth control
pill. She just found a great job after a year of unemployment. She will
probably take a year recovering. Please keep her in your prayers. I have
read your posts and see where you are coming from. Please let me explain
where I am coming from. My only sister aborted a baby between #2 and #3.
She didn't give her husband any choice, and my mother couldn't talk her
out of it. The reason: She didn't "feel" she is ready for a 3rd baby. She
has been suffering from depressions ever since, although never mentioning
it. She thinks I do not know about it.(30 years ago) My best childhood
friend aborted her first baby(40 years ago) 'cause it was too soon to have
a baby, they just got married and were having too much fun. Also, she was
working at the time while her husband was finishing his education. SHE
NEVER COULD CONCEIVE AFTER THAT (and it was in a perfectly good clinic,
in Israel, where it wasn't illegal). Both her husband and herself were
only children of holocaust survivors. With this one act they destroyed
what Hitler couldn't. 2 whole families were eradicated off the face of the
earth. The majority of abortions are NOT due to health of the mother, rape
or incest. Please take the time of reading the book of Bernard Nathanson
(a famous abortionist, who in a moment of watching an unborn baby move
away from his knife in fright, stopped the practice after years and
thousand abortions, repented and turned to God and eventually to the
Catholic Church) The Hand of God, about the truth of the abortion mills
behind the flowery words of "choice". Not everything that sounds good and
feels good - is good. What is scary is the nonchalant non thinking choices
which we are made to believe are our choices. What we don't consider is
the amount of brain washing we are subjected to in a subliminal way in all
the movies, commercials, misinformation regarding the overpopulation of
the world, and in trying to engineer a perfect person, so if she is not a
he we abort her. My sister didn't even give it another thought - had to
get rid of that burden. My friend was more worried about the difficulty
for her husband if she should have a baby before they are "ready". No
thoughts about the baby itself at the time, but for years they were
suffering and paying for it. Yes, it is a private choice. But the majority
of the women make their choices in a most uninformed way. Back to
contraception, how many men had gone through vasectomy "since it can
always be reversed" to find out that in many cases it cannot? (the reason
why we never had children) Do you feel that abortions are only performed
in rare cases, for very good reasons, and only in the first trimester?
Haven't you noticed how the down hill of the last 30 years is now "any
time even if the baby is already coming out" or if the baby was aborted
alive it must be killed by the nurse or physician?

your sister in Christ,
Ariela
