Born Alive!

Imagine this….

You are a baby at 22 gestational weeks. You are happy and content “safe” in your warm, dark world. You are soothed by the rhythm of your mother’s voice and her movements. One day, much to your surprise, a harsh saline injection is introduced into your sanctuary. You have just been poisoned. This injected saline burns your tiny delicate skin and begins to wither and corrode your body. After several hours, the walls around you being to tighten and expand, again and again. After many hours, you are delivered. You are struggling. Your skin, and eyes, and insides are burned from the saline. You can barely breath. You are cold. But, no one helps you. No one comforts you. No one tries to warm you. No one tries to help you breath. And suddenly, without warning, without provocation, your tiny life is snuffed out. You were unwanted. You were aborted. But, against all odds you survived the abortion! You were a fighter. You were BORN ALIVE! But, instead of racing you to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where you could be given a chance at life, you were MURDERED.

Did you know that on average 66 babies a year survive abortions and ARE BORN ALIVE??? http://www.bornalivetruth.org/index.php

An Abortion film, 22 Weeks, was released in January 2009 http://www.22weeksthemovie.com/ and is based on this TRUE story http://iwka.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/22-weeks-the-story/ of a 22 week old baby boy who was born alive after a saline abortion.

Watch “Born Alive” – A short film about aborted babies who were actually born alive after an attempted abortion. http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=7030bd098cca768e72d111&skin_id=801&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=text_url

The thought of this should make one’s stomach turn! The “Infants Born Alive Protection Act” was enacted on August 5, 2002. http://www.nrlc.org/Federal/Born_Alive_Infants/index.html. However, there are still numerous reported cases of physicians disregarding this Act and terminating the life of a surviving baby. This is beyond even partial birth abortion! This is the MURDER of a delivered, living, breathing child!

God have mercy!

Blood Money

Abortions for money???
Since when did murder become a business?

"I was trained by a professional marketing director in how to sell abortions over the telephone. He took every one of our receptionists, nurses, and anyone else who would deal with people over the phone through an extensive training period. The object was, when the girl called, to hook the sale so that she wouldn't get an abortion somewhere else, or adopt out her baby, or change her mind. We were doing it for the money." -Nina Whitten, chief secretary at a Dallas abortion clinic under Dr. Curtis Boyd

The "Right to Choose" vs. the "Right to Life"?

During my research on abortion these last several days, I have come to realize I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is so saddened to read these articles and stories about abortions and to see the pictures and videos of the end result. I have concluded my research many times simply in tears. I fear, that people are becoming calloused to the sin in the world and simply cannot fathom the notion that so many are in support of abortion! Their arguments (which I am hoping to be able to refute in posts to come) are so selfish.

Of course I believe in freedom of choice! I am not a domineering man trying to lord my authority over women and have control over them and their lives. I AM A WOMAN and I too agree with the majority of male pro-life law makers who are attempting to combat abortion. They are not trying to take control of a woman’s right to choose, they are attempting to take control of a woman’s right to murder! The *majority of woman have the freedom to choose not to conceive an unwanted baby in the first place. (*Taking into consideration that there are children conceived as a result of rape and incest). One should always consider that a possible outcome of engaging in sexual relations is the conception of a child and when one engages in these activities, they have already chosen! That child growing within their mother’s body was not asked to be created as a result of a foolish and selfish action. And that child certainly should not bear the brunt of their mother’s choice by being slaughtered. What of the child’s choice? What of those future women that are being aborted? Don’t they have a voice? Don’t they have the “right to choose”? Abortion is a selfish act that allows women to continue to live in their sin and “escape” responsibility for their actions.

My heart grieves for the lives of aborted babies. That tiny life that depends on its mother for growth and protection is torn from its sanctuary and sentenced to death for no fault of their own other than existing! Most pro-choice advocates do not deny the fact that a “fetus” being aborted is alive…they will tell you themselves that life begins at conception or fertilization, or the first brain wave etc. However, this does not seem to concern them. Their only concern is for their rights, their right to choose. How could anyone ever see the right to choose as more important than the right to life?

There are some that say that terminating the life of a “fetus” via an abortion is equal to eating a hamburger, cutting down a tree, or even killing the germs on our hands since these things are all categorized as “life”. What a ridiculous argument. Human life should never be compared to germs and inanimate objects. Human life is the highest form of life. We are human beings and we are killing ourselves. We are killing our own babies! To me, that does not seem comparable to using hand sanitizer and stopping at McDonalds.

Life is precious. The life of every man, woman, and child is precious. The lives of the thousands of aborted babies everyday are precious. Just as precious as mine or yours. They are people. Tiny people, maybe, but “a person’s a person, no matter how small!” – From the movie, Horton Hears a Who.

Abortion is Murder!

It is estimated that nearly 1.3 million abortions are performed annually in the United States alone[1]! *That means almost 50 million legal abortions have occurred in the US since Roe vs. Wade in 1973[2]! Think about that, 50 million babies! 50 million lives terminated before they were even given a chance. 50 million helpless, innocent lives. (*Note that this number references just the United States alone. There have been an estimated 1,656 million abortions worldwide since 1973!).

There are many who have compared the work of the abortionist with that of Hitler and I tend to agree. So, one may ask the question, "Does this mean that it is good or right to take the life of an abortionist?" In a word, NO! Taking a life is wrong whether he or she is a newly conceived zygote or a 30 year old professional. If I answered “yes,” I would be no better than the abortionist myself. God is the author of life and even though we may have grievous differences with our fellow man, it is not our place or our right to take what is not ours. God is their judge (Ecclesiastes 12:14; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:12; Hebrews 4:13)!

What is Abortion?


An ABORTION is an induced elective, or “therapeutic”, extraction of an embryo or fetus (i.e. baby) from the uterus resulting in its death.

The definition includes the term “induced” as it differentiates from a natural expulsion of a baby due to a miscarriage or still birth. The term “elective” is used to describe a non-obligatory procedure that is consciously made by the individual while the term “therapeutic” is used to describe an abortion that is performed to benefit the health of the mother.

Note, that the end result of an abortion is death, termination, the cessation of life. All of these terms certainly seem to imply that in order for there to be death, there must have been life! So, why is it that so many people do not see abortion as murder?

Welcome

Welcome to my Blog, "Join Me In The Fight Against Abortion". I am a passionate pro-life supporter and I want to make my voice heard. One of my favorite quotes is from Helen Keller:

"I am only one. But still, I AM one. I cannot do everything. But still, I CAN do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I CAN DO!" -Helen Keller

I know I am only one. But, it only takes one to make a difference.

My youngest child was born at 34 weeks, a month and half early. Thankfully, he was born strong and healthy and with no real complications. However, while we were in the NICU, I saw doctors and nurses fighting to save the lives of 25 and 26 week old babies. I saw mothers and fathers watching helplessly as their baby lay in an incubator fighting for life. I saw my own baby in his isolate and thought, "God, thank-you for life. Thank-you for the life of my baby and the lives of these babies here. Protect them and heal them." Seeing those tiny babies evoked an emotion that I had never felt. I realized that abortions are performed on babies at the same age as some of my son's NICU "room mates". And yet, here the hospital staff is fighting to save these ones!

Who knows? Maybe God had us experience the NICU to show us the reality and the horror of abortions (Esther 4:13; 14).

It is my hope and prayer that God will use my voice to Fight Against Abortion. And that maybe someday...someone, somewhere will be touched and a life of an unborn baby spared as a result.

Too often, Christians see the evil in the world and do nothing more than complain and ostracize themselves from it. This is just not right! We are called to be "salt and light" (Matthew 5:14). Our very purpose for existence is to bring glory and honor to God (Revelation 4:11) and certainly, that does not include sitting idly by and watching His creation be destroyed. As for me, I can no longer sit around and talk about how horrible abortion is and do nothing about it. It's time for me to take action.

It is my goal to do everything I can to make my voice heard. To express my views and opinions. To educate and inform. To research and spread the truth. Please Join Me In The Fight Against Abortions!
