He who puts off the hour to begin living rightly
Is like the yokel who stands at the stream with a sigh:
“I can’t get across. I’ll wait here till it runs dry.”
Meanwhile, it flows, forever flows on and rolls by.

""#aborted #fetuses are not #technically #lives and it's #harmful and not #medically #accurate to refer to them that way" and "#people who have early #miscarriages of wanted #pregnancies are still #allowed to grieve and consider them their #child" are two #statements that can and should #coexist"
""people who made the difficult #decision to have an #abortion #because it's right for them and their #situation are still allowed to grieve how things could have been if their #circumstances had been different" is another statement that should be added"
