Torn Asunder
I've always been open and honest and factual with my 7 children about abortion. I have been as gentle as one can be describing a murder. Many of them cried when they first learned what it was; some stared at me in dumb disbelief. It's a hot topic in May of 2022, hotter than usual. So, I explained what the debate currently raging is about- the possibility SCOTUS might overturn Roe V Wade. Of course, I had to delve into what the proper roles of the 3 branches of our government are- something many seem to be woefully unaware of. At any rate, I fielded a question from the 13 year old that none of my other kids had asked at such a young age: "How do abortions work, exactly? How to they get the baby out?" I tried to tell him as tenderly as I could that a vacuum tube is placed in the uterus and the baby is torn into pieces so it can be sucked out. I left out the part about what they do to the bigger babies. His eyes got a strange look in them, one I had never seen before
