Yet There Is Room : A Story of Redemption

Paul Borseman, MD, OB-GYN, abortion specialist, dead, and on hold-he thought. His personal significance and all that had mattered a few seconds ago were lost in a blinding light nothingness. He didn't see the speeding truck coming at him in the wrong lane or feel himself being tossed, along with his red Miata, into a cement retaining wall. They clung there, the car a mass of red wreckage and the man inside clearly broken and bleeding. He was just gone. Gone to where he had no idea. Now what? His sense of stability and substance were becoming fluid. Oddly, he had a presence of mind and that, barely. Suddenly to his relief, a waif began to take shape. A young girl floated, or so it seemed, toward him. She claimed to have been one of his patients, one for whom the procedures he performed proved to be 100 percent fatal. And so begins his journey from life to death to new life but not without immeasurable struggles and conversations with the girl, Carlee. He believed they were in a useless debate; she insisted that her reason for their interchange was about discovery for her, an understanding of human thoughts and actions. Once Carlee fades from him, the real and painful leg of his journey begins. Since Roe v. Wade was passed in 1973, nearly sixty million abortions have been performed in the United States. Prochoice and prolife were born and have been battling for preeminence ever since. We are not privy as to what happens to those millions of preborn souls, but we can speculate. What we are privy to is that God is good and does all things well.
