When my little brother (let's pretend his name was George) was about 4 or 5, he asked our mom how he got here. Mom said something like, "Well, we'd wanted and prayed for another baby for a while, and one day, God made sure a little 'George seed' started to grow inside Mommy. And when you got big enough, we went to the hospital so the doctor could help get you out."
I thought that prayer was a necessary part of the process of becoming pregnant! It turned out that I learned what abortion was before learning how sex worked, so for a while I was really confused about why someone would PRAY FOR A BABY, then not want it when it actually showed up inside her.
