Perhaps you’re right. I have no proof that she was telling me the truth, any more than someone else does that she was lying. Though joking about killing babies, and that in front of your child, certainly doesn’t sound any better.

I’m afraid you might have missed the point of this post if you thought I was intending to make an argument for the pro-life stance. I’ve done that on other posts (search “abortion”), but this post was meant to mark the tragic anniversary and mourn those precious babies that were killed.

That is the straight faced comment I would give some nosy clerk who asked me what I was using the pine shavings for too. She was trying to shock you into not being nosy and succeeded.
That is most definitely not what they were used for. I have not worked in that kind of clinic, but I have worked in Veterinary and health clinics where minor surgery was performed in janitorial and in reception and NEVER seen pine shavings used in any of them.

If you want to be pro life, do so on the merits of the arguement (ie all life is sacred, new born babies and newly concieved fetus are equivalent, etc) not on hearsay made up stories of the horrors to be found in an abortion clinic.

I completely agree with you. You’d like my pro-life posts.

That is just sickening. I don’t know how you finished your shift, honestly.

[...] Joy had two comments that I really liked, but when pushed came to shove, lighthearted comments pale in site of our country’s serious tragedy. She said about Thursday’s post on my story about the lady at Walmart buying pine shavings, [...]

Thanks for sharing this, Ronnica. I meant to come by yesterday – but time got away from me. As I read this, my stomach lurched into my chest.

Yesterday was such a crazy day for me and I thought about reading your post multiple times as I knew you would post about Roe V Wade – I didn’t even have time to post on my own either.

I am so thankful to have found a kindred spirit in the blog world. It is so hard for us to imagine a conversation like this being so casual as it breaks our hearts to the core.

Thank you for sharing this with your readers. You have such a great heart for the unborn and I am appreciate you.

Yes, it is a sad day, made even more so by the real possibility of our new leader making abortion easier yet. I also believe God grieves deeply over this sin. The world needs a revival and needs it soon!

Thanks for sharing that.
Wow. I don’t think I would have been able to complete that transaction. I would have had to have someone take over the register for me – or send her to a different register.

The mouthy side of me thinks I would pull the bag of shavings off the counter, tell her that it’s for hamsters and say, “It might do you some good to hold those precious bloody baby parts in your hands for a few minutes before you toss them aside like they have no value. I’ll bet your heart could absorb a life better than cedar shavings.”
