With at least 1 out of 4* occupants destined to die, isn’t the womb the most dangerous place to live? (*WHO)

The WHO statistic is disquieting, isn’t it?

Nowadays it’s difficult to know what percentage of pregancies end in spontaneous abortions (miscarriages), and what percentage from induced abortions (terminations of pregnancy).

It seems that the spontaneous ones are mostly due to chromosomal problems, while the induced result from human choice. Whatever the reason, both are tragic. Very understandably, the events sum up to a huge rollercoaster of emotions for those intimately involved.

The womb should be the safest place to live. After all, when a lady is pregnant, the baby is the most delicate and vulnerable of us all.

Ultrasounds are amazingly detailed these days, and also show that detail earlier and earlier in the pregnancy.

Seeing the skull, the spinal cord, the limbs, as well as the beating heart, touches us in a most amazing way. We are usually full of wonder at these sights.

Whenever my wife has been pregnant, my reflex desire has been to love and care for them both.

The sanctity of each human life

This is a precious principle. I think it should apply from conception to death, the bookends of our lives. Some of this is reflected in Psalm 139 written and preserved from 4,000 years ago. For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
[14] I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
[15] My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
[16] Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalms 139:13 (NIV) (http://www.laridian.com) What are your thoughts?
