With the advent of February, many individuals begin to reflect on matters of the heart. A considerable number of people get engaged or married during the month of St. Valentine. Therefore, it is an opportune moment to extend love to those on the margins of society, namely the vulnerable who, regrettably, may have been neglected by those who were supposed to love them.
Those who fall into this category include preborn children. They are completely dependent and, tragically, subject to unfathomable violence. The advent of 4D ultrasound technology has provided irrefutable evidence of the humanity of the unborn. This technology offers a window into the womb, allowing us to observe the smiles, hiccups, and somersaults of unborn babies in breathtaking detail.
The expression of love towards preborn children can manifest in a multitude of ways. It may entail extending a gesture of benevolence to a pregnant woman who is experiencing challenging circumstances. Whether one purchases baby clothes or offers babysitting services to older children, one’s efforts to demonstrate compassion to pregnant women are a noteworthy representation of love.
Another way to demonstrate love is by contacting your public officials, whether by email, phone, or in person, to express solidarity with pregnant women and their preborn children. It is often necessary for legislators and government executives to be reminded of the miscarriage of justice that has been carried out against unborn babies. Each law that protects preborn children and empowers their mothers in a life-affirming manner is an exemplar of love in action.
The act of sharing content on social media can also be indicative of a sense of care and concern. Memes can provide encouragement to pregnant women, demonstrate the miracle of the child in the womb, and educate social media users about the cause of life. With the use of a smartphone, it is possible to disseminate information about fetal development to a vast number of individuals.
Visiting an elderly friend or relative, attending a sporting event featuring children with special needs, preparing meals for a time-starved mother—all of these actions can be a sign of love in an often cold-hearted world.
It is therefore recommended that a commitment be made this February to affirm life by reaching out in love. It is possible that the more love one gives, the more one receives in return.
