Second letter to Nikhita...

This is my second letter to Nikhita.

My first letter was read, criticized and commented by many of my fropper friends and I wish to thank all of you for extending your opinions.

I have been prompted to write this second letter, by some of our friend’s comments, culminated by the comment from our friend, Satya_GN.

Dear Nikhita,

First of all, I took the privilege to write the first letter from the stand-point of a brother. If I were your brother, I would have done everything possible to stop you from going for the ‘abortion’ at this stage, leave alone going to the court. I would have convinced you to go through it all, would have given all the support you would have needed to go through the pregnancy and finally I swear, if I were your brother, I would have offered to adopt the child immediately upon its birth, regardless it is born normal or abnormal.

My dear Nikhita,
Let us take all the morals, sentiments, cultural values, human values, whatever values you think I am talking about.
Let us assume the court gave the verdict in your favor.
Say, you could go ahead aborting the child.

Now, Imagine this…
You are in your 6th Month of pregnancy.
How do the doctors carry out abortion is as below:
From the 20th to 23rd week of gestation, an injection to stop the fetal heart can be used as the first phase of the surgical abortion procedure to ensure that the fetus is not born alive. Then a surgical abortion procedure such as D&C or D&E is done to remove the dead fetus out of the womb.

Of course, Nikhita, you are currently going through tremendous emotional and mental turmoil, which nobody would imagine to go through. You have a child inside you, which has a possible congenital abnormality (as per the diagnosis of the doctors). You might have to live with a handicapped baby for the rest of your life. You might have to spend all your savings in treating this child. You might have to sacrifice a lot just for this child.

Your emotional status is not going to be any better after the abortion, in case if you got the court verdict in your favor. The doctors would have to practically ‘kill’ the baby inside your womb and suck the dead body out. You would not be able to forgive herself from this guilt of killing the child, for the rest of her life.

If the baby didn’t survive, it is in God’s hands. We humans are well trained to believe that and move on. But, if that guilty feeling creeps in and takes root, it could even drive you to the point of suicidal frustration.

Once again, I would like to clarify to you and all.
I am not writing this like a lawyer or like a robot.
I too have emotions and I too understand the feelings of the mother-to-be, very well.
My first letter was strongly worded only because, I am serious in expressing myself to the mother-to-be and it is still absolutely your prerogative to answer these questions, in the way you wanted to.

Finally, as a brother, I am extending all my BLESSINGS to the mother and the child for the best of their health in their lives.

I am requesting all those who read this and the earlier letter, to pray for the mother and child at least once a week and help the MIRACLE happen.

THANK YOU ALL and THANK GOD…
