Babies, my friend, hold a wonder all their own. But never do they seem more wondrous than when we speak of them in the shadow of abortion. Let us consider how this magic baby transforms before our very eyes!

The Magic Baby is Part of Her Mother’s Body?

Lisa: Hello, Doctor. I'm pregnant and suffering from terrible morning sickness. Please prescribe me something to ease it.

Dr. Jenn: I'm sorry, Lisa, but I can't prescribe that drug. It's harmful to the baby.

Lisa: What if I choose an abortion to stop the sickness? Can you help with that?

Dr. Jenn: Certainly, Lisa. It's your right to decide what happens with your body.

Lisa: If it's my body, then why can't I have the medicine?

Dr. Jenn: I can't. It's harmful to the baby.

Here, the doctor won't prescribe a drug because there's a baby involved. Yet, an abortion is deemed a right. The doctor must admit the baby is a separate body, with its own rights. A magic baby indeed!

Two Babies the Same Age, But Only One is Magic

Melinda: Thank you for being here. I can't believe my baby arrived so early. Isn't she beautiful?

Jennifer: She is. I needed to visit the hospital for an abortion anyway, so it worked out for me.

Melinda: How can you do that after seeing my baby? We were pregnant at the same time!

Jennifer: It's my choice what I do with my body.

Two babies, same age, yet only one is recognized as a baby. It's a matter of location. Inside the mother, not a baby. Outside, a magic baby transformed into a person!

Fetus, Then Person, Then Fetus Again. Magic Baby!

Dr. Williams: Nancy, we'll operate on your baby. We'll take her out, perform surgery, then place her back in your womb. Do you have questions?

Nancy: Why these forms? You need permission to treat the baby?

Dr. Williams: When the baby is outside, she has rights. If something goes wrong, I must save her life. The forms protect us legally.

Nancy: If the surgery fails, can I still opt for an abortion?

Dr. Williams: Yes, it's your body. We can schedule it immediately.

Nancy: That's a relief!

First, her daughter is a fetus without rights. Then, during surgery, she becomes a person with rights. Moments later, a fetus again. A magic baby!

Officer Daniels: Scott, you're charged with murdering an unborn child and aggravated battery. Do you understand?

Scott: Yes, I do. I waive my right to an attorney.

Officer Daniels: What happened?

Scott: My girlfriend planned an abortion. We argued, and I lost control. I hit her.

Officer Daniels: You struck your pregnant girlfriend?

Scott: Yes, I'm ashamed. I can't believe it.

Officer Daniels: She lost the baby. The prosecutor filed murder charges. These are serious.

Scott: I need a lawyer now.

The mother planned to end the baby's life. Legal for her, but murder if done by another. Is it a person or not? A magic baby, indeed.

The Plain Truth of It

In these tales, we see the shifting sands of belief. A baby, a life, is transformed by circumstance and choice. Yet, the truth remains unchanging. "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward" (Psalm 127:3). The world may twist and turn, but God's Word stands firm.

Consider the miracle of life, my friend. See the wonder in the eyes of a child. Reflect on the truth, and let it guide your heart.
