Update on the baby - abortion scheduled for tomorrow!

Unfortunately I have some bad news on the baby.  Last I had heard (last week), she was bleeding and they all assumed she was miscarrying.  But I knew she had kept the appointment for this week at the PRC, just in case.  Apparently she went back for her second ultrasound today, saw the baby and the heartbeat, and immediately scheduled an abortion for tomorrow. 

My heart is breaking.  I just can't fathom why someone would do such a thing, after seeing her baby inside her womb, knowing someone the baby's grandmother trusts would take care of her child.  I can't help but think the girl's single mother is pressuring her into aborting.  I know I've asked a lot from all of you, but it seems like this is the last straw.  It's desperation at this point.

God bless you all.  I'll keep you posted.

    This is so sad. But, let's remain hopeful that the Holy Spirit will infuse her mind and heart and she will not go through with the abortion. Praying with you Nicole!

    Oh my goodness. :( I just got caught up on the situation! I agree that I just can't imagine seeing the baby and hearing the heartbeat and still going through with the abortion... I will be offering my morning rosary for the baby and a change of heart for the mother. What a tragic situation! :(

    This makes me want to vomit. One of my best friends, who has been trying for nearly a year to conceive, just miscarried over the weekend. A friend of a friend of ours just had her second abortion a few weeks ago. Now this. Sometimes I do not understand God. I know He did not cause either situation, but I'd just love to know WHY sometimes. Why screw-ups like these women get pregnant, and good people like you and my friend struggle or lose babies.

    I read this while nursing. I feel so connected to Hannah and I can't imagine being so disconnected from the life inside of you. I pray she feel just a smidgen of the love for her baby that I have for Hannah. If she only knew the amazing gift inside of her...

    I will give up coffee the rest of the day today as a fast...and pray with all of you....

    I am in the process of adopting a baby with some disabilities, so thankful his mom chose life...

    I probably will also share these posts with my teen boys, how sad for the young dad that his first child may be killed at the hands of his first love...
