“Your grandmother convinced me not to have you”

Postabortion woman Marlena Moore wrote the following tragic letter to her aborted baby, who she named Joshua:

“No one talked with me about you. I remember you in the silence of my heart. There, in my heart, was your funeral and grave, the only place I could find to remember you until now. Yes, I wanted you, son, but your grandmother convinced me not to have you.”
