In a 1993 phone call from Texas to our office in Saudi Arabia, my wife said that she was going to get an abortion.
She said that fetal tests indicated abnormal chromosomes; and, if our second daughter lived, she would be a very special little girl.
I was on the other side of the world; and, it took many days, maybe a week, to get my passport returned, with permission to leave Saudi Arabia.
I arrived too late; and, found my wife at a hotel in Austin, Texas. She had already been given an injection, that killed our daughter. The next day, I took my wife to the clinic, for a second injection that induced a miscarriage.
Do you HAVE to KILL a baby, to get it out of your body?
If the fertilized egg has implanted the uterus or womb; and, NOT in the wall of a fallopian tube (causing a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy)…
Why not just simply give a woman the choice, to induce a miscarriage with pills or an injection, without killing the child, and leave the choice of life or death up to God, and the baby’s will to fight for life?
I was with my wife, when our son was born. When she had dilated enough for birth, she was injected with a drug that causes contractions and sent our son down for birth. The doctor then used forceps to pull our son’s head out, and two hemostats about an inch apart, to clamp the umbilical cord.
I was given the honor to cut the cord, and called out the time. The doctor thanked me, because he was usually too busy to note, when the cord was cut.
Maybe the Courts or politicians should stop trying to play God, with arbitrary time lines and sounds (from tissue destined to become a heart) that may not actually be from a fully formed and working, blood-pumping heart.
Some abortion clinics may profit, from selling baby parts. see US Supreme Court No. 19-1392 at:

There are many naturally premature babies born every year. Each one can make a small contribution to the science of neonatal care.
How many of these natural preemies would benefit from techniques learned, to extend the lives of other boys or girls, who weren’t killed during a surgical abortion?
Pro Choicers seem to think, that women’s control over their own reproductive health care decisions, is more important than a baby’s life.
If a baby is in the process of being born, or already outside the mother’s body, why kill it?
How can anything OUTSIDE a woman’s body, affect her reproductive health?
What about the mental health, of a woman who might feel guilty, about killing her child?
When I returned to Saudi Arabia, during her calls from Texas, wife seemed to become more and more out of touch and detached.
After I gave her the date, time, and flight number, of my return, my wife wasn’t at the Killeen, Texas airport to meet that flight. I took a cab home; but, she wasn’t there. There was fresh milk in the refrigerator, as if she had forgotten about my arrival and taken the kids out shopping.
I had to walk back to the airport, and get a rental car.
Her Sister, who took care of the kids, and helped me find my wife’s hotel during the abortion, said that she did not know where they had gone.
The house was a mess; and, instead of taking the trash to the curb, my wife had just tossed everything out the side door, into the car garage.
The only thing she cleaned out, was our bank account.
After the stinking food and packaging were properly taken to the street curb for pick-up, I went through a large pile of books and papers, to try and get some clue, about what happened to my family.
Weeks went by, without any sign of her, or our children.
But, from the papers, it seems that she had joined some kind of Star Child cult, and blew the extra money that I earned overseas on cult contributions, books, tapes, and vacations to resorts, like those in Sedona, AZ.
Also, in the pile of papers, was a dated ultrasonic photo of a baby in my wife’s womb.
It was plain to see, from everything between the little head, fingers and toes, that our girl was well on her way to being fully developed and born.
I say little girl, because the technician had circled the area between the legs, showing that the baby was not a boy.
My wife had also written her soon-to-be Daughter’s name on that ultrasonic photo. What expectant mother names a Daughter, that she hasn’t bonded with?
I filed for divorce; and, it looked like I was going to get the kids… if, I could find them.
Then her parents passed away, and my wife showed up, contesting the divorce.
It then began looking as if SHE was going to get custody, of our 5 year old Daughter and 2 year old Son. But, after I went to return my children from summer visitation, my wife was nowhere to be found; and, even her lawyer and sister could not say where she had gone to.
I raised my kids without any visit, phone call, birthday card, or letter from their Mother, for the rest of their lives.
What sane woman would deny the existence of her own children?
Tell me, that a woman who has her child killed, does NOT experience some degree of guilt, denial, or sanity/mental health issues.
