Has the Pro-Life Movement Turned Into a Terrorist Movement?
Posted by Catherine Morgan on September 6, 2007
Suzanne from BlogHer did a post today about how violent the “pro-life” movement has become. Suzanne sites these facts about how hate and terror are permeating through the “pro-life” movement.
How many actual human beings – living and breathing, with family and friends who love them and value them – have been killed by so-called “pro-lifers?” Well, Dr. Bernard Slepian was killed in his kitchen upon return from synagogue by a life-saving sniper. Dr. David Gunn was shot and killed in the parking lot of the clinic he worked in. Religious Tolerance counts 24 murders and attempted murders by “pro-life” folks from 1993-2004. Almost 150 bombings, arsons, or attempted bombings or arsons took place against clinics, many with people inside. Further, 11,449 incidents with hate mail, harassing phone calls, bomb threats, and other terrorist tactics have been employed by “pro-life” advocates.
Planned Parenthood says…
>> On August 25, hundreds of anti-choice extremists picketed near the site of the Planned Parenthood clinic as part of a “40-day prayer vigil” to protest the opening.
>> Aurora is home to some of the most radical anti-abortion organizers. Despite the attacks on Planned Parenthood from these extremists, Planned Parenthood of Chicago is determined to bring reproductive health care to a community that is lacking access to services like contraception, disease prevention, and sex education.
>> At the helm of the campaign is Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League. Scheidler made his name in 1980’s when he called for the “year of pain and fear” for reproductive health care providers and patients. He as been quoted as saying: “For instance, several years ago we tracked down a twelve-year-old girl who was going to have an abortion so that we could talk her out of it. Talking a woman out of having an abortion is not news. But tracking her down by using a private detective is” and has vowed to stop abortion “by any means necessary.”
>> Aurora is a largely Hispanic and working class community, and Planned Parenthood saw a growing health care need: Illinois ranked seventh-highest in 2005 for chlamydia rates and 11th-highest for gonorrhea, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Guttmacher Institute reports that among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, Illinois ranks 46th in the availability of contraceptive services and supplies. In Illinois, 1,558,620 women are in need of contraceptive services and supplies.
>> As in communities across the country, Planned Parenthood is stepping up to help Aurora’s families, which need health care access desperately like so many Americans. We saw this in South Dakota last year and now we’ve opened health center in the backyard of one of the most extreme leaders of the anti-choice movement. In a time when sex scandals dominate headlines, groups like us who are promoting safe and safer sex are under increased attack.
The Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora, Illinois has become ground zero in the fight for women’s access to reproductive health care. The Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora was just built and is the largest PP clinic in the country which makes it the #1 target for anti-choice groups. Anti-choice groups have sent thousands of protesters to the clinic — more people are protesting this clinic than we’ve seen for a long time, and their goal is to stop the clinic from opening. To be honest, it’s going to take all of our efforts to open this clinic, and we’re trying to rally with national support. The anti-choice bloggers are all over this, and I’m hoping we can get the pro-Planned Parenthood message out there quickly so that women in Aurora and across the country know they are safe and welcome at our clinics.
What people can do to stand with Planned Parenthood:
>> Ribbon campaign: We are asking Planned Parenthood supporters across the country stand with us by filling out a form to have a ribbon in their name tied outside the clinic in Aurora.

Thank you! For once I learned something after visited a blog on Wordprss. I am in absolute agreement that it is an oxymoron to call yourself pro-life and be violent.
September 6, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Thanks for your comment “Kokayi137″, I agree.
I hope now that you’ve found my site, you’ll become a regular reader and commenter.

I’ve see it with my own eyes. People like you who have the guts to write it down help everyone.

Thanks “PalMD” — But, I can’t really take credit for this one. I’m just relaying the message with this post…the real credit goes to Suzanne from BlogHer.org
September 7, 2007 at 1:10 am
Thanks Catherine! I think we make an excellent team when it comes to covering this disturbing issue. And I particularly like the cartoon you posted.
September 7, 2007 at 6:17 am
Hi Suzanne. You did a great job on your post for BlogHer, and it made me want to address the issue here too. This has been a problem for a long time, and it’s just not right.
Off topic…I find it quite hypocritical that the majority of “Pro-Live” supporters, are also supporters of George Bush and the Iraq war. Why isn’t a soldiers life any value to these people? I think they have a very “warped” sense of right and wrong.
Thanks for your comment Suzanne.
September 10, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Nah, soldiers are born, so therefore their lives are useless. Only the unborn have a right to life.

Why is it that this is true? Because we don’t have enough Planned Parenthoods in operation? I think it is because we do not as a nation have enough faith in God (or abide by His rules). To me, the division between PL and PC more and more becomes a division of those that believe and those that don’t or have at best a weak unknowing faith. Can a PC woman truly believe that she is not taking the life of her child when she receives an abortion? That’s what makes this cartoon so silly to post. (How violent is taking away the life of your very own child? - even one from rape is yours.) The PL-ers that are violent are without a doubt wrong. All violence is to be abhorred. I ended the life of my child in 1978 through abortion. I was desperate. And I understand that is true for many who seek out PP’s services. But abortion, in taking the life of your child in an instant, also damages the mother, but for a lifetime. I regret my abortion. The aftermath (almost three decades now) has been painful. I do not know any terror greater than abortion. That is why I am pro-life.
September 21, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Net,
Faith in God won’t keep you from contracting Chlamydia nor will it clear up said infection once you have it. You can follow His rules as much as you possibly can and it won’t prevent you from contracting these sexually transmittable diseases. What if you have a mate who cheats? Will your faith and obedience in God keep you from contracting any disease he/she brings home? Nope. Instead, you would need medical care, medical care of the kind that places like Planned Parenthood provides to women who would otherwise go untreated.
By the way, how did you come to believe that you have the power to know who has faith and to what extent they have it? If you truly believe in God and are familiar with His words, then you’d know that only He can discern what is in our hearts and only He has the authority to judge our faith. You made this blanket statement that abortion damages the mother for a lifetime. Well, that may have been true for YOU but it certainly isn’t the case for the millions of women around the world and throughout time who have gone on to lead perfectly well-adjusted lives after having an abortion. So, you regret your abortion. That’s just YOU. It doesn’t mean that other women should go without care simply because YOU made a decision that you are now uncomfortable with.
November 3, 2007 at 7:50 pm
And so it goes on, the stupid blindness and hipocrisy of proabortion people. Oh, if you don´t like abortion don´t have one, they say. Imagine then: Oh, if you don´t like gas chambers for jews just don´t push any into, if you don´t like infanticide, rape or robbery just don´t do these things yourself, but be tolerant of other people´s choices to gas jews, kill babies, rape women or rob. Fine logic,you tiresome fools. Meanwhile millions of babies go on being murdered and dismembered in their mother´s wombs.

November 3, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Hi Juan.
Although I respect your feelings, I don’t agree with your analogy. The “babies” you are talking about are not really “babies” and not viable outside the womb…so the comparison can’t be made. I also don’t agree that a person who is “pro-choice” is “pro-abortion”…we are for choice not abortion…there is a big difference.
November 17, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Hi Catherine.
What are then the babies I am talking about? Not babies because you arbitrarily decide so? It is exactly the same as people who decide that blacks, jews, women,slaves…are not really people but something inferior.
An unborn child is only a human being who is younger than a born child and lives inside the mother instead of outside.Who has the right to decide that people who are younger, or smaller than other people are not people and can be killed? What is the philosophical basis for such irrational claim?
What is more, babies are becoming viable at younger and younger ages, does it not strike you as incoherent to claim that babies become babies depending on the state of the technology of the society into which they are born? On top of it, to claim that one has rights or not depending on whether one is viable or not is begging the question. Why should viability, and not any other criteria, become the criteria to decide over the right of life and death. Born babies are also extremely dependent, many discapacitated adults also are…they are not viable unless they can make a huge claim on the time and money of their carers.
We know much more about the developmental capacities of the unborn nowadays than in the seventies, and everything we have learnt has increased the similarities of born and unborn children.Have a look at the book of Thomas Verny on the secret life of the unborn child, or at the reasoning of philosophers like Rosalind Hursthouse(atheist) or Francis Beckwith( catholic).The reality of the unborn as a member of the human species is a fact and all ethics about abortion should be similar to the ethics about infanticide.
The central issue is that human beings are not “born” when they are born but are individuals alive from nine months earlier. Members of the human species and alive. They hence have rights over and above the wishes for confort, career, etc…of mothers, fathers or relatives whose lives are affected by their arrival.

November 17, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Hi Juan — Like I said I respect your opinion, I just don’t agree with it. To me…cells in a petri-dish are no more a baby than cells from menstruation…both capable of eventually becoming a baby, but neither are. I guess we will have to agree to disagree, but thanks for your comments.
November 20, 2007 at 4:32 am
Well,Catherine, you just want to avoid the issue,
cells in a petridish!It depends what kind of cells.
But really, how many abortions, thousands throughout the States, hundreds of thousands throughout the world, are about highly developped foetuses,i.e.unborn children and not about “cells in a petridish”? Have a look if you dare to confront your defense mechanisms of avoidance, at the many photos and videos in the web of late abortions.
As for the cells, nobody raises a moral problem about an appendix removal, they are just cells, and part of the body of the mother as the proabortion slogans says.The problem is These Cells are a human being in the same sense that the bunch of cells you or I am are the totality of our physical existence as human beings and to destroy them is called homicide, not surgery.
Incidentally proabortion is the correct expression, exactly for the same reasons that one can say people are pro-death penalty if they say things like: I personally dislike the death penalty and would not pass one or execute it, but I believe in freedom of conscience and let others, through State mediation, have freedom of choice to pass death penalties.
The problem you, prochoicers, have is exactly to JUSTIFY why you can deny to the unborn and ON WHAT BASIS, their obvious biological membership of the human species. I am afraid you have not even begun to address the issue seriously.
But,I was once proabortion and it took many arguments, evidence and, above all, life experiences to force me to readdress my convictions. I know these emails won´t change your set convictions, but I also know that the mind and the heart store these words and work deep down even against the conscious thoughts of the person, so I will leave it for now. Just try and Reason to yourself your position on middle and late abortion, the vast majority of abortions, and LOOK inside the womb. We now have pictures of the little WHOS who live there.
Best wishes

very well put Juan - i too was mislead as to what ‘choice’ meant. it took a marriage to a very strong pro-life ambassator to open my eyes as to what life means. I think that the majority of individuals who are pro-abortion simply are uneducated as to what abortion is and how it effects the woman afterword. once individuals truly are educated on the issue…it’s almost incoherant to me as to why they would continue to support the act.
and I would like to know what the difference is between ‘choice’ and abortion…if you are pro-choice…aren’t you inherently pro-abortion? what is the alternative choice?
January 22, 2008 at 7:23 pm
“what kind of cells”
This leads us down the path of reductio ad absurdum. Does life begin when sperm enters egg? Encounters egg? When egg and sperm actually become one? When a certain number of cells is reached?
How about the unique sperm that is to fertilize the egg? What if it is, er, wasted?
Do we have a funeral for a miscarriage at 4 weeks? Do you have to baptize a lump of bloody products of conception no larger than a pea?
January 26, 2008 at 11:50 am
i would like to thank Juan and Net for revealing the truth. I can’t ever understand that even after people discover the truth, they ignore it and remain stubborn in changing their minds and accepting what is real. I am 17, still in high school, and every day at lunch, i hear these girls talk about “i am 100% pro-choice, and shoot, if i got pregnant, i’d have an abortion, no doubt!” and that just blows my mind! how can people be so selfish as to take a life of another to “better” their own?? it doesn’t work, so why bother? every human has natural human rights, no matter how small. a child is a child at conception. if it has the potential to be fully developed, why wouldn’t you call it a human being? and by the way, did you know that if a pregnant woman is murdered, the murdurer is charged with a double homicide, but if a woman freely chooses to KILL HER BABY, it’s fine. i had also just recently had to research the beginnings of planned parenthood, and i could not believe the results! here are some sites to visit so you can see for yourselves: , . i hope that everyone can have to opportunity to learn and discover the truth, then maybe there can be some peace in this world, just maybe.
God Bless

One question that has always struck my mind is on the beaches of Florida there are many sea turtles nest. Here they lay their eggs on the beach. The only thing that bothers me is that Florida surround the nest with signs saying “do not disturbed. They surround them with signs because if distrubed the sea turtles will be killed. My question is why do we protect baby sea turtles more than we protect our own babies in our wombs?
thank you
March 11, 2008 at 1:34 am
Pro Life all the way, you equal trash if you seriously get an abortion because “you dont want a kid” or the typical “i wasn’t ready” your KILLING LIFE END OF STORY. Pro choice is for retards and karma is a bitch you can’t escape that and god is watching everything has its price go ahead kill another innocent child you stupid feminist pmsing dumbasses.
March 11, 2008 at 10:33 am
Well not all feminists are pro choice there is a website i believed is called feminists for life. Another thing is that if you Mary call them stupid feminists you are pretty much proving there point. That we can get angry and do harmful and violent gestures. The truth lies before them if they don’t want to accept it then that is there choice, but it saddens me to see that there are women out there that don’t believe that it is a baby. Not all pro lifers are violent just some of these people give the pro life movement a bad name.
The truth will set you free!
March 13, 2008 at 9:44 pm
YES- thank you amandarose. can we all just accept what is real? or what? and i just wanted to say that just because some pro-lifers have gone crazy with bombings and whatnot that does NOT mean that the pro-life movement is becoming terroristic. there are more peaceful pro-lifers than there are violent ones(they need some help, let’s face it, they’re pretty crazy)
prayer is the most powerful weapon i believe! i pray that America (and every country in the world) will stop killing the most innocent and vulnerable people: the unborn.
PLEASE
March 18, 2008 at 12:30 pm
I have to ask one question to pro choicers. Are you not being violent if you kill someone. I have read both books of Norma McCorvey or better known as Jane Roe before and after her conversion from pro choice to pro life. In her first book she wrote about her early and harsh childhood. She also wrote about what ahe did before she converted to the pro life movement. She never mentions in her first book “I am Roe” about the cruelty that happens in abortion clinics. In her newest book after her conversion “Won by Love” she writes the reality of abortion clinics. One scene of her book is the part room. After the abortion the abortionists has to find all the parts of the “fetus” (baby) before they put it in the parts room. They freeze the parts in a white freezer. None of the abortion clinic workers liked to go in there if a the parts missed the jars or bucket they would leave it there. My mother also read in the book that a group called operation rescue found a “fetus” skull (baby’s skull) in one of the jars. If that is not violent i do not know what is. I also agree that prayer is the most powerful weapon. I whole heartedly agree Bridgette.
Speaking from the Truth
March 18, 2008 at 9:34 pm
A unborn group of cells won’t have a chance at survival until after week 27, then it is a 90% chance.It is my uterus therefore it is my jurisdiction. Men can not possibly be pro-life because they will never be faced with that decision. If a 15 year old is raped by here father and becomes pregnant, should be forced to carry the cell full term? What if someone is raped and becomes pregnant? Should they be forced to carry the child? The answer is no because that choice to take her right to say “no” away was taken therefore, she should decide whether or not she carries those cells. It is a woman’s choice and only a woman’s choice. I am extremely well educated on the topic of abortion. I work at a rape crisis center so I am also well educated about what rape does to a person. Survivors of sexual assault are not in a healthy place after that. Many survivors have addictions to substances as a result of the assault, in fact, they are 5 times more likely to develop substance abuse issues (Minnesota Victim Assistance Academy). Forcing them to carry some cells is ridiculous. Maybe, you people should really think about what it might be like to have to make a decision like that. I can’t imagine it would be easy. Try to imagine being sexually assaulted and carrying some cells that were created out of so much hatred for woman and the desire to control us. I doubt that men are faced with the choice of an abortion…ever. Maybe if we stopped teaching abstinence only, our children wouldn’t be forced to make that choice. Maybe, if we educate males, they would learn how to treat woman the right way. Don’t crucify someone else because it against your religion, it may not be against their religion. End of story.
March 19, 2008 at 3:28 pm
So you don’t blame the man for getting a woman pregnant? You instead would blame the lump of cells or whatever you call it. You also said “Should they be forced to carry the child?” it is in your comment. Then that proves that it is not your body. If it is a “child”. I have another question if we teach people about smoking do they stop? Some do but many don’t also if we tell people to stop drinking and driving do they? Again some do but many don’t so even if we gave classes or education avaliable the temptation is there. Men will still be attracted to women and young girls. Sex is a very powerful thing. I would have to admit im 16 years old and in my junior year of high school. I know if i was raped or sexually assalted and got pregnant i would be tempted to have an abortion. Not because i would want to kill someone, but because i would be embarressed. I know in my heart that i would not want to kill a baby. You said it in your comment that it is a child then it is not your body.
Don’t deny the Truth
March 19, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I also have read the earlier comments about the pro lifers beliving in the Iraq war. Well I have something to say about that.
When did the pro life movement ever say or imply that a soldier’s life is worthless. You may say because we believe in the war, but the problem with that argument is that there is a choice. What I mean is that the soldiers had a choice to join the army and navy. Unfotunately the recruiters glorify the army by lying and telling them, we will pay for your college, you will travel around the world, etc. It sounds very much like what abortion clinics say to young girls that you will be able to have all this freedom. A baby right now will be a burden to you, etc. The truth is a preborn baby has no choice in whether or not it lives, unlike a soldier who has the choice whether or not to join the army, navy, etc. One more point is that a soldier has the ability to protect and defend himself, unlike the preborn baby. Its known that when a doctor is performing the abortion and inserts his instrument, the preborn baby moves away from it. Unfortunately for the preborn baby it is back up againist and has no way to protect itself. The way a preborn baby protects itself is by moving away. Unfortunately he or she cannot move for long.
It hurts but it is True!
March 19, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I am confused as to the nature of your comment Amandarose. You say that sex is powerful and boys will be attracted to girls? And you also made several other comments that I don’t understand. Yes, but then maybe they will use condoms and birth control. Education works. It is proven again and again by countless statistics. So I don’t know where you got the “many don’t listen” thing. Texas is the #1 example. Also, abortion clinics do not tell them “Go ahead, you will have all this freedom without a child.” In fact, they try to avoid abortion and educate them on other solutions. Abortion is a last option. Maybe, if you educated yourself on the clinics themselves, you might know that. I respect your beliefs but do not for a second think you should be able to push them on someone else. It is a woman’s choice, that ONE woman who is making that decision. Not yours or anyone else’s. Instead of putting all of your time and thought into this topic, why don’t you pick a cause more worthy? Maybe ending violence against women? I also KNOW FOR A FACT they don’t tell these kids that. My brother is proudly serving in the US Air Force. My best friend is in the marines, doing recon. The recruiter told him he is probably going to be killed. Doesn’t sound like free money or a passport to paradise to me.
March 20, 2008 at 11:10 am
I believe that it is a cause worth fighting for, even if you do not agree. I will give you the opportunity Ashley to read about the abortion clinics from a person who worked about 20 years in an abortion clinic. Her name is Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe in Roe v. Wade. She wrote a book called “Won by Love.” I encourage you to read it. This is how I was enlighted and so many others as well. My mother has been in an abortion clinic so I am well informed. Also my mother has worked to help heal women who suffer from having an abortion. Many woman are abused by husbands or boyfriends when they are pregnant and are sometimes forced and threatened to have an abortion. In a way you and my mother are helping women to heal from violence and abuse. I commend you on doing that. I am not trying to push my beliefs I am trying to inform. If you read the book “Won by Love” will you please tell me what you think of it.
Let your heart be open.
March 20, 2008 at 11:22 am
I have the most open heart of anyone. If I was pregnant, I personally would not have an abortion. It is not right for me, but DO NOT take that right away from others who choose that. I will not read your book because I will not agree no matter what. It is my right to choose what is my body. It is only my right and no one else’s. I commend her effort as well for trying to educate people on all of their options. Do you believe in welfare? Do you think it is a good program? My mother is a survivor of domestic violence. When she was pregnant with me my father thought she should have an abortion but she didn’t listen and here I am. I also want to know where your facts are coming from. What would say if the woman was using substances while pregnant? What about a risk to the mother’s health?
March 22, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Ashley & all other “pro-choicers”
You ask some great questions that I would like a chance to respond to them.
1.) “A unborn group of cells won’t have a chance at survival until after week 27, then it is a 90% chance” I am sure that you can understand that a fetus doesn’t go from a 0% chance of survival to 90% magically at the 27th week. At 24 weeks the fetus has a 56% chance of survival. At 25 weeks it is a 79% chance of survival. Even using your own number of a 90% chance of survival at 27 weeks, how can we justify legal killing of these children through 28 weeks?
2.) “What if someone is raped and becomes pregnant? Should they be forced to carry the child?” I’m glad you asked this question, and it is what made me respond to this blog. I was raped at 17 and became pregnant. I had an abortion and am still mourning the loss of that child. Why? Because I can say with 100% certainty that I could not and would not have done it if the facts of fetal development had been shown to be before I had the abortion. My child was 10 weeks in the womb when I had the abortion. Do you know what a 10 week old fetus looks like? I challenge you to check it out online. It looks like a baby. Not a bunch of cells, a baby. A 10 week old fetus has a skeleton and all internal organs and her heart has been beating since the 18th day after conception and brain waves can be recorded from the 6th week. She has fingers and toes and she can suck her thumb, squint, swallow, and make fists.
I think everyone on both sides of this debate can agree that a child with all of the above characteristics is very much alive and a human being. Furthermore, I would venture to guess that if I asked you to define when someone is dead, you would say when their heart stops beating. Following that logic, a fetus would then be a live child at just 18 days, less than 3 weeks after conception, when his or her heart starts beating. Surgical abortions are not even performed when the fetus is this young and most women don’t even take a test to determine that they are pregnant before this point.
I really encourage everyone on both sides of this debate to research the topic of fetal development. You may think you know and even if you do, what will it hurt to just take a few minutes and google “fetal development”? I think you will be surprised by what you find. I know I was.
Personally, as an immediate goal, I would like to see a law passed mandating abortion clincs to spend at least 1/2 an hour educating each pregnant woman on the fetal development of her child and other alternatives to abortion. Eventually I do believe that we will make the murder of these children illegal, in the meantime I want to see a push for education of pregnant women before they can have an abortion. I didn’t know how developed my child was and I truly feel that someone should have told me. I want to see women educated, whether they want to hear it or not, they need to know what is inside of them that they are “terminating”.
March 24, 2008 at 10:29 pm
i agree 100% with Kelly
March 27, 2008 at 8:36 am
I looked fetal development on google like you suggested Kelly and it is very fascinating.
May 4, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Don’t be fooled. On average, those who promote and profit from abortion are much more violent than pro-lifers. There are 8,519 documented acts of such violence and illegal activities. Of course this does do not include the 3,500 daily assaults, dismemberments, and/or poisonings of pre-born human beings. (See prochoiceviolence.com) These crimes include:
* 1,251 homicides and other killings
* 157 attempted homicides
* 28 arsons and firebombings
* 904 assaults
* 1,908 sex crimes (including 250 rapes)
* 106 kidnappings
* 420 cases of vandalism
* 290 drug crimes
* 1,616 medical crimes
Due to media bias, these cases just do not make the national news. The vast majority of pro-lifers denounce all forms of violence. We are hardly terrorists for helping people.
May 14, 2008 at 10:32 pm
wow. joanne, it’s sad how so very true all of that is.
July 18, 2008 at 3:48 am
First of all I would like to say that I was actually glad that I saw this pro-life cartoon above because I can get so angry at people who are pro-choice or pro-abortion but I don’t want to be violent toward anybody whether I agree with them or not and I don’t hate you if you are pro-choice/abortion. I just KNOW you are very wrong.
Funny thing… The first comment by kokayi137 (Thank you! For once I learned something after visited a blog on Wordprss. I am in absolute agreement that it is an oxymoron to call yourself pro-life and be violent.) on September 6, 2007 at 4:31 pm actually made me smile because the very moment kokayi137 wrote this I was enjoying my brand new baby only a few hours old. On Sep 6, 2007 at 12:41am I had the privilage to give birth to a beautiful baby boy (the joy of my life).
When my child was conceived YES I had the CHOICE to give him life or death. But not for a second no matter how bad things looked for myself did I think of ending his life. Once I knew I was pregnant, I also knew I had another PERSON to think of.
I am 19. I had my son when I was 18. I wanted to continue going to college, get degrees, travel the world, get married, and so much more. I was so scared because I didn’t know how I was going to afford a child or if his father and I would stay together etc. But I trusted God and I am here to tell you he took care of everything and more. I am not perfect so I am not here to tell you how bad of a person you are if you believe in abortion or choice. I just urge you to change your mind because unborn babies are just as important as the women you want to have a choice but they need us all to make the right choice in order for them to be able to have a future. Every CHOICE should be LIFE.
BLESS YOU BLESS YOU BLESS YOU BLESS YOU ALL!!!
My heart is not out to fight with you or hate you just to love everyone because everyone needs love even the unborn children.
