Love will echo throughout Eternity

If you haven’t watched Call the Midwife, you will at least want to watch one episode after reading this magnificent review by Abigail Johnston.

No Half Measures

There are some TV shows that I could watch over and over and over. During this pandemic and while I’ve been forced to be more inactive due to my cancer treatment, I’ve watched several TV series from beginning to end multiple times. Call the Midwife, is one of those shows.

It’s hard to articulate all of the reasons why I love Call the Midwife. The fact that the focus of the show is mainly on midwives who work with and support women laboring to bring their babies into the world is a big reason. The fact that nuns are part of the storyline and their commitment to the “religious life” is front and center in a humanized and poignant way is definitely another.

    Love Call the Midwife cos my mom was head nurse on a baby floor who was very pro-choice, and opened up great chat with my DIL from the UK about women’s agency over our own bodies.

      There is a lot of controversy. My mother and I had some of those conversations. I never got pregnant, so I never had to personally make a choice. It’s hard to know what one would do in those circumstances. The extreme poverty and unsafe conditions on the show, illustrated how difficult the decisions were.

        It’s a tough one for sure, but my belief is that it’s MY decision about what to do with my body.

          Yes, and the potential child inside. I don’t think a rapist has any right, for sure. Fortunately, it is not a choice I have to make.

            The way I was raised was to believe that every child should be wanted and planned, so that’s why I had the one and he was planned. I knew I’d be good with that so it worked for me.
