Last week, we got to hear the heartbeat of our child. My Beloved has been doing well-nauseous in the evening, but she is coming out of that as she is beginning her 2nd trimester. She is the greatest. And God is good. All the time.
It has been a busy time this last week because of report cards. Then next week is Literacy week and parent conferences. After that, there will be a little breather. Yay!
Sorry for this rather uninspiring post, but I am tired and I need to go to bed.

The perpetuation of life and the value of life itself continues with the heartbeat of your yet to be born child. My thinking says the child is already born. The child was conceived in love,grows with love, and will come into this world having experienced this already manifested love. Being born within the body is further matured by being born after leaving the safe place within the mother. This is the birth as defined by most. Life is precious. I admire those who honor the very beginning of life by understanding, believing, and knowing that life truly begins at conception. God creates these lives. We are only His tools to honor, love, and obey his commandments to protect these growing babies while in the womb. We honor God by honoring his gifts of life.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I do not agree that the child is "born" prior to leaving the womb.
Is the preborn life precious, and needing protection my mom and society, absolutely.
Perhaps you could further explain your position. Maybe I am misunderstanding you.

" Having From Birth Specified Qualities" Is one of the the definitions in Webster's Dictionary. The actual birth is as we all accept and know. I suppose my comaprison of being born at conception is a part of my argument against abortion. There is a tiny little person, the moment conception happens. The qualities of the formation of the person are what I see as these "Specified Qualities." Indeed though, the actual birth and being born are as we all generally as the leaving of the womb.
Is your (or Webster's)definition of "born"-having from birth specified qualities? If so, I don't think this helps the case of protecting the unborn.
Or so I would think. I think you would do better to argure for the "tiny person" in the womb as valuable, separate from the mother, and deserving not to be killed.
A Christian philosopher (can't remember the name) once put it this way: "you did not develop from an adolescent; you once were an adolescent. You did not develop from a toddler; you once were a toddler. You did not develop from and embryo; you once were an embryo."
The embryo is in an early stage of being a human being, and part of the defintiion of the embryo usually entails being inside a womb and I would agree that it has secified qualities (they do have a separate DNA, after all), but it is still unborn, and precious.
Thanks for posting,

Absolutely correct.. You have a gift.... May it prosper to save the lives of many unborn children.
Thanks, though I would not necessarily call it a gift because I have worked hard in trying to refine my pro-life perspective. I owe it mostly to the hard work done before me by Scott Klusendorf at prolifetraining.com (though I think this has changed), and Greg Koukl at str.org
My hope is that other prolifers would refine their positions so they stop appearing as religious goofballs in the media because most are not, and the world begins to consider the arguments and persuasiveness of the prolife position.
--This, I think, is especially important in the society we live in and even in the professions we live in that do not take God, the Bible, or religion seriously. We need to offer them something different when we can and I think the clearly thought out prolife position can do that.
