What if you discovered that you had an alien baby growing inside of you?
Get RID of it! Right?
But what if that Baby would be born Jason White --- and one day everyone would know him as SUPERBOY?
In the movie Superman Returns the title character (an alien from the planet Krypton) has been out in space and away from Earth for over 7 years. (Superman is played by Brandon Routh and Lois Lane is played by Kate Bosworth). He returns to his adopted planet to learn that Lois has borne their child. He is a Father. His son's name is Jason and he is being raised by Lois and his Step-Father.
This is a fanciful and fictional story -- but once again Hollywood stands on the side of keeping the baby -- in the most horrific of circumstances.
What if the baby that you are carrying -- from an unplanned or unexpected pregnancy -- is Superboy?
Or Superman?
Or Marie Curie?
Or Albert Einstein?
Or Martin Luther King, Jr.
Or Mahatma Gandhi?
or Jonas Salk?
This may seem like a nonsensical comparison or thought to you - but I believe that stories about life and birth are the best kinds of stories -- even if they're just stories.
