Excerpt
The importance of each child is indisputable; the rewards of every child are irreplaceable and have no equal. Behind Doris Lessing's story "Debbie and Julie," one can see how a child influences those around him or her, whether that child is born or unborn. That is one of many reasons why taking the life of a child, or not taking into consideration the life you can offer a child before physical birth is not only wrong but sad. In the story readers see how parents are influences, how the friends are influences, and how the general public is an influence of the creation and birth of a child. In the same way we can see how a child influences our lives, and the lives of those around us.
