The Wisdom of Solomon Lives again!

I love this! How true it is!

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I havea serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr.old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok, and what do you want me to do?' She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms. The lady was horrified and said:'No, doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!' 'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.' The doctor smiled, "there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!"(Sounds somewhat like the wisdom of Solomon; remember the suggestion of cutting the baby in half?)

What a wise doctor. And how grateful that unborn child must have been.

It actually ties in with a give-away contest running on my blog this week at Not Entirely British.

THREE prizes this time - books and a CD from LDS author/speaker Sarah Hinze. Here's a snippet from her website: "Sarah's own healing experience prompted her and her husband, Brent Hinze, Ph.D., to embark on their search nearly twenty years ago. For two decades, she interviewed individuals and chronicled what she calls "prebirth experiences," or communication from children before they are born. Her work has provided solid evidence that unborn children can warn, protect, and enlighten us from another plane of existence."
