A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said, "Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together."
So the doctor said, "Okay and what do you want me to do?" She replied, "I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this."
The doctor thought for a little while, and after some silence he said to the lady, "I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too." She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued, "You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms."
The lady was horrified and said, "No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!"
"I agree," the doctor replied, "but you seemed to be OKAY with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution." The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!
Love says I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person. Abortion says I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.

God, that was one of the best posts I've ever read. I have a son of four and my wife lost a second baby when our 1st child was 2; she had a miscarriage but I still can't stop thinking about the child we lost.
Hello Matsutaro! Thank you for dropping by here. I found this must-read a very good article too and that's why I thought of sharing this to all. Very simple story but the message is very much practical.
