Some excellent thoughts from Kelly Crawford at Generation Cedar:

Before the socially acceptable option of choosing life, children were in a category of “spiritual, supernatural, miraculous”.

But now that we are in control of this once supernatural gift, children have moved to a category of “possession”–things that can be acquired or not. And not just that, but possessions often seen as liabilities.

A possession is altogether different from a heritage.
