I wonder.
I wonder how many faithful fathers never got to meet their children. The cheater decided she rather abort than carry the child to term.
I wonder.
No statistics exist on this matter. So, I wonder. I am sure it happens. Cheaters are famous for dodging responsibility. A child is a huge responsibility.
This is the unseen side of grief around abortion. The men are kept out of this side of the equation and may never know the full story.
Notice how this is not talked about in churches. I will never forget the pastor telling women on Mother’s Day about men not being “father material.” This was spoken as a way to show compassion to women on this difficult day.
Did he ever pause to consider some disturbed adulteress might take that as justification to abort their child?
I doubt it.
Divorce is hard. I am told having mutual children in the mix makes it more difficult. Yet I do not know any godly man or woman who given a choice would prefer their child to be dead in this.
