Our son (10): ‘Mama, I’ve heard a word and don’t know what it means.’
Me: ‘Which word is that?’
He: ‘Abortion.’
Me: ‘Well.
If a woman doesn’t want to have a child, she goes to a hospital, and the doctors, with an operation, take the baby out of her tummy, when the baby is very very very small, months before it would be born.’
He (heavily thinking): ‘Take out?’
Me: ‘Yes.’
He: ‘But… then the doctors need to do it very very carefully to make sure the baby doesn’t get hurt..’

Ok. A topic maybe for later.
