About 8 months ago I would of never thought of even writing this. I am 31 weeks pregnant with (what the doctors tell me) is a beautiful, healthy baby girl. I love her more that I thought I could, even before I met her. I used to believe in Pro-choice, however, now that I have felt her moving and have seen her function and all her little organs alive with life I can honestly say I would NEVER NEVER abort my child. They are alive from the moment of conseption/fertilization whatever you would like to call it. It is still life.
Tomorrow will mark the 28th anniversary of the darkest day in America's
history-When abortion on demand became the law of the land. I was at
that time pregnant with my first son. In March of this year he will
celebrate his 28th birthday. I am so grateful God gave him to me. In
my 32 years of marriage to my high-school sweetheart, God blessed us
with 5 children. We now have 6 grandchildren..What a blessing! I have
spent many nights crying for the sin of abortion that our country
allows, condones, and even glorifies. I have written many letters to
the editors, to my representatives. I have tried to forget about this
gruesome practice, but I cannot. I have taught my children the sanctity
of life. I have even seen the fruit of my efforts when one of my
daughters became pregnant although not married. She did not even
consider abortion and we have a very precious grandson today because she
knew despite the first bad choice the only choice for her child was
life. I will be joining you in prayer tomorrow-for our country, for our
new president, for our sins as Americans to allow this to continue. May
God bless you in your work.

I don't know if you will print this or not, but i had to give my two cents worth. I am the mother of 3 beautiful babies, two boys and a girl gone home to God, on top of that I am a counselor for the New Hope organization in my area. We counsel crisis pregnancies. But this is what I think. How can any one call themselves a Christian, and support abortion? One of God's commaandments is Thou shalt not kill! What is the difference between killing a child in the womb at 18 days, when the heart is beating, or at 12 weeks, when the baby can suck its thumb, or killing a child 18 days outside of the womb? There isn't one! Why are protesters being persecuted for exercising their constitutional right to free speech, and peaceful demonstration, when physisians who have spent 8-10 years learning how to care for the living, kill untold thousands everyday? One of my friends says that God will get them in the end, but what about all the lives snuffed out until then? I've asked girls what would have happened if their mothers had aborted them, that usually changes their minds about the subject. This is a practice that has to be stopped!
