The Suffering Brothers and Sisters of Aborted Children
By Kristi Burton Brown
Abortion is anything but a simple choice. It affects not just the child
who dies in an unimaginable way. It affects not just the mother who
suffers through the abortion or the father who could do nothing to stop
it. Abortion affects the family at large – grandparents, aunts, uncles,
cousins, and brothers and sisters.
It can be a very strange thought to wonder why you were chosen to
live while your brother or sister was chosen for death. Why did you
survive? What would your sibling have been like, acted like, looked
like? Would he or she have resembled you? Become your best friend? Years
of memories you should have had were wiped out before you ever knew
that your brother or sister should have existed. Indeed, abortion is
anything but simple for the brothers and sisters of aborted children.
