We didn’t bake a million cupcakes, just a batch of 24. Ida picked carrot cake and cream cheese icing. For a 7 year old, she’s pretty incredible! In our town of 1100 people, we found people working in their yards, walking down the street, and just getting home from work.
The committed Catholics were the most receptive to a birthday celebration for aborted babies. Many others were just surprised that on a beautiful sunny day in Illinois we would even mention these little lives that are snuffed out way too early. Hardly anybody talks about abortion. Everybody avoids it. Even I would rather not think about little babies being killed by mothers, fathers, grandparents, and “friends”… But our 7 and 3 year old girls sure have a lot of questions! Really, if we are honest, who doesn’t think abortion is absolutely crazy?
