UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES III
Something devised to protect
or assist can end up hurting
or injuring the person. Those
who believe abortion is murder
might feel that making abortion
illegal is the proper step to take.
This action on its face would
save thousands if not millions
of lives. The repeal of Roe v.
Wade has been advocated by
pro-life adherents for nearly
fifty years. However, abortion
has been widely practiced in
America since its earliest days.
In the 1950s, estimates of
numbers of illegal, unsafe abor
tions ranged from 200,000 to
1.2 million per year. While
the methods used were often
ineffective and dangerous,
desperate women travelled
into the back alley residences,
where they endured unsafe and
unhealthy medical procedures.
It is not farfetched to imagine
that outlawing legal abortions
will significantly increase death
and injury of young women and
their babies. Some may say that
these losses are “collateral dam
age” not realizing that until re
cently there has been a 30 year
decline in the number of abor
tions. As state governments
make abortions more difficult
to obtain, matters concerning
women’s health has moved
front and center. Some states are
beginning to monitor births and
holding mothers responsible for
any abnormality.

Ronda Rich
THE YOUNG WHO WORK HARD
Last summer, when Tink was
stranded in a foreign country
during a television series pro
duction, I was blessed to have
family teenagers pop in to help
now and again.
The Rondarosa is a big job.
There are pastures to bush hog,
barn stalls to muck, grass to
cut, and tree limbs to pick up,
constantly.
The three grand-nephews
who traded off between them
selves to help “Aunt Ronda” -
Jon, Tripp, and Nix - were 14,
17 and 20. Honestly, I didn’t
expect them to be an abundance
of help. Though they’re coun
try kids, they’re more of what
I’d call “country elite.”
They’re not kids who HAVE
to live in the country like I did
and scrape by on the Lord’s
grace. They are ones who are
privileged to live on miles of
rolling hills with creeks and
stunning views of the Ap
palachian foothills. Too, their
parents are all white-collared,
well-educated professionals.
My expectations were not
high.
What a pleasant surprise
unfolded for me as the gentle
Spring turned into
the brutal steam of
a deep South Sum- RICH,
mer. The work was 8
