Choose Life… The following is the answer that Academy Award winning actress Patricia Neal gave to an interviewer who asked what, if anything, she would change in her life: “If there is one thing I wish I had the courage to do over in my life, I wish I had the courage to have the baby (the child she aborted). Alone in the night for over forty years I have cried for my child.”
