Brace Yourself

Because this is not going to be easy to hear.

My mom showed me a list of companies that support Planned Parenthood. Turns out that some very big organizations and some of my favorites support PP. There's a whole big list but I'll just write down some of the biggest (For the full list click here).

AT&T
Johnson & Johnson (Ironic, right?)
Gap
Nike
Pepsi
Yahoo!

And the two that ripped my heart out....

Adobe :(

and

Starbucks D:

I already have Photoshop Elements so I'm not going to stop using it but I am going to stop buying any Adobe products.

As for Starbucks.... unless I get a gift card from someone, I will no longer be able to have my white chocolate mocha frappuccino.

It is so hard to give these things up, but sometimes you have to do the right thing. I am no longer giving money to companies that help support Planned Parenthood. Will you join me? If you all help spread the word about all these companies, maybe we can get a petition going and send it to Starbucks!!! Post it to your blog, facebook, twitter, etc. Once you have shoot us an email, post on our wall on FB, tweet us, or leave us a comment (Links to our social networks are right beneath our blog header).

My Heart Aches

Last night around midnight I was reading blogs about people who have lost their babies. I don't know why I do it to myself, I always end up crying, but I love to read letters that mothers have written to their children who have died months, even years before.

But something stood out to me that one woman wrote that made me say a rosary at 12:30 in the morning even though I was super tired.

She was talking about how her baby didn't have anyone with him when he died. His mom started hemorrhaging and blacked out and his dad stayed with the mom.

And then it hit me.

With every abortion that is performed, there is a baby in pain. Without a mommy or daddy to comfort them. Without doctors trying to save them. Alone.

But then something else hit me.

They aren't alone. They have Jesus and their guardian angels and their heavenly Mama with them. I just prayed that they feel the love of all three of them, that they are all comforted. My heart aches to think of all the babies who have lost their lives to abortion and to other causes, as well.

May God have mercy on us.

Just Try to Stop Us

Here's a cool story.

An amusement park a little bit away is having a "walk for life", hosted by our local pregnancy resource center. It looks really cool and I wish my family and I could make it, but we can't :( I did get to design a poster for it, though!

Today while I was trying to print it out so I could give it to someone who is going to blow it up, I was having issues with the printer. It kept on stopping in the middle of the print, and I probably went through 5 or 6 pieces of paper, which is a HUGE waste of ink and paper. I was getting really discouraged, and after a while it crossed my mind "maybe God is stopping it because something is wrong with the poster".
"Oh that's ridiculous," I told myself. "How could I misspell something so simple?" After another failed print, though, I double checked, and sure enough, I forgot to add some facts that I needed! As soon as I did that it printed!

But then I realized I printed the wrong one.

So I tried again and again, but the printer was acting up again. I decided to take a break and go paint my nails (hehe), and when I came back to try again I was sure it would work, but it didn't. I started thinking about God stopping it for some reason again, but my mind jumps from thing to thing so it went from "I misspelled something" to "God doesn't want me to participate in this". But after a while, He cleared my mind. Of course He wants me to do this, I thought. He cares about these babies more than anyone. So I decided that someone else was stopping the printer-- Satan.

I clicked print and restarted the computer, and while it restarted I said a series of prayers. I ended with "God, kick Satan's butt."

Legit, as soon as I finished and did the sign of the cross, it started printing. And it printed the whole entire paper.

Why am I telling you this, I may ask?

On our pro-life journey, many things are going to try and stop us. People, pressure, printers, etc. But we can't back down. We have to keep on trying to spread the word: abortion is taking the life of an innocent child! Many people really think that the baby is just a blob of cells, but we have science and God to back us up that it's a living person.

I really think that the end of abortion is near. Together we can do it! Just try to stop us!

Our Job Won't Be Over

What if abortion ends in our lifetime? Can you imagine how awesome that would be?

But our job wouldn't be over yet. There would still be you teen moms, single mothers, and even married ones who need help.

We would have to start organizations who help these woman. If someone had a child with special needs, they might need equipment, information, etc. on how to care for the baby. Single moms will need jobs, baby items, and maybe even housing.

While we're working on making abortion illegal, we should also be thinking of ideas on what we should do once it ends, because our job won't be over. Maybe if we show America the alternative to abortion- adoption- and give these young woman some encouragement, these single-mom centers will become a reality and abortion nothing but a dark past.

I plan on writing a letter to the president about this. Will you all help me? If you think of any ideas on what we can do after abortion is illegal, please email them to 4lifesavers@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Until Abortion Ends...

There is a website called I am Whole Life, which is an awesome pro-life website!! Check it out!

Anyway, they have this thing called "until abortion ends", which I committed myself to a few years ago. Basically, you give something up until abortion ends. I gave up my favorite ice cream, moose tracks.

Please consider joining this awesome campaign! You can even submit a video or story to them and let them know you're on their side!

Until I'm finished with my adoption posts {Which I had all planned out but stupidly forgot to write down, so now I'm digging them up in my brain}, here are some quotes and a video for you :)

We're getting there!

Hello everyone!

We haven't posted anything in *goes to check* almost two months! Sorry about that! We've been busy. I have a letter idea and a few post ideas, I just never get around to doing them....

But, today as I sat down at the computer, I saw a headline on my mother's news page the caught my eye.

TOUGH ON ABORTION: North Dakota passes most restrictive abortion bills in nation.

I hurriedly clicked on it, and what I saw makes my heart soar. To read the full article, click here {I suggest you read it. There are some great quotes!} If you wanna skip that, I'll tell you what it says:

Last week, Arkansas made it illegal to have an abortion over 12 weeks. This week, North Dakota made a rule even stricter: you can't have an abortion over 5 weeks. This will make gender-selected and genetic-affect abortions impossible, since you can't tell what sex your baby is or if it has any special needs.

Other states are doing things to help make abortion illegal, too. Oklahoma introduced a "personhood bill", which will ban abortions by defining human life as beginning with conception.

You see, readers? We're getting there! Little by little we are working to make abortion illegal! I just know that someday people will look back on this dark time and say, "people actually did that?", just like we do now with Hitler killing thousands of Jews.

Here is a list of future posts I intend to write (If some things don't make sense to you, just bear with me until I write the post).

March for Life 2013

Here's a short little video I made about the March for Life :)

I hope you like it!

A Truth About Planned Parenthood

I saw a blog post* the other day, and I read something that made me really angry.

So, apparently, it's only illegal in 4 states to have a gender-selective abortion, which means in all other 46 states of America, if you're pregnant with a boy but want a girl, it's legal to abort him... just because he's a boy.

But mostly, girls get aborted. Wait, what? That's right- Planned Parenthood, apparently on the "woman's side", ends the life of a lot of woman. In fact, most gender-selective abortions are done to baby girls.

If someone from PP is reading this, could you please tell me how this is fair to woman?

Here is a video where someone in Arizona, one of the states where sex-selective abortion is illegal, who went undercover to two clinics.

 

This whole gender-selective things disgusts me, and it makes me 10x more passionate about life. Nobody should have their life ended because they're the "wrong gender". These little babies need people to stand up for them, because obviously a lot of people don't. The March for Life is tomorrow. It's a great chance to stand up for those who can't! Even if you're not going, you can still make a stand. I put together a short list of simple things you can do tomorrow, so that even though you're not going on the March, you can still show you're for life.

• Pray. Obviously, this one is one of the most powerful. Prayer can do extraordinary things! Pray for all the unborn babies, for the people on the March, for all the people who have ever had an abortion, for all those considering an abortion, etc.
• Fast. This is like another form of prayer. Give up breakfast, maybe, or lunch, and while you're hungry say, "God, I'm giving this small suffering for all the babies in danger of abortion."
• Make a poster. Hope and Charity aren't able to go on the March this year due to weather, but we all still got together to make posters (Pictures to come). We made big-ish ones, but just a piece of paper will work just as well. Email pictures of your posters to us at 4lifesavers@gmail.com
• Adopt an unborn baby. I know this sounds a little strange, but there is a prayer you can say to spiritually adopt a baby who is in danger of abortion. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of [baby’s name] the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” I adopted mine over a year ago, and I named him Matthew.

Pregnancy Resource Centers

Hi everyone!
A couple of days ago Faith and I went to our local pregnancy resource center to volunteer. In our area, a bunch of churches give out baby bottles that people fill up with change, and all the money goes to this resource center.

Our PRC is awesome! I didn't know all they did for life! I mean, obviously the baby bottle thing was cool, but it goes far beyond that.

All of the boxes we labeled and organized!

They have parenting classes. A little baby boutique so that the mom's can come every four months. Car seats, cribs, blankets, diapers, formula, toys. Ultrasounds. And everything is for free.

 

Thanks to the wonderful free ultrasounds, 93% of the abortion-minded woman who come in there decide to choose life and keep their baby! And then PRC supplies them with all the necessities (Look above). Isn't that just awesome?

 



But they rely only on donations, because they aren't government funded.

 

If you have a local pregnancy resource center, donate some of your money, or volunteer there! I bet they need it.

Believe It- Cimorelli

Cimorelli is one of my favorite bands. They just came out with a new EP, and one of the songs on it is called "Believe It".

I feel like this song really speaks to what we're trying to do. "Shout it out, loud and clear". We need to speak up for those without a voice! "Believe it! Believe it! Cuz the whole world's standing next to you, and the whole world's watching over you". Even though we're just teenagers, the world is looking at us. Let's give a positive example to everyone around us, and help them realize that a person's a person no matter how small.

99 Balloons

This is a beautiful but sad video called 99 Balloons. It's about a little boy, Eliot, who was born with Trisomy 18, which is a similar to down syndrome but the children usually don't make it to birth. Eliot did, however, and his parents made this video about him. He lived for 99 days, and at his funeral they released 99 balloons signifying his life. It's so sweet.

Why am I posting this on here, you ask? Well, most people would abort a child with special needs like this. But Eliot's parents didn't, and look how much joy he brought them! Every life has a purpose. Look how many people Eliot impacted!

Letters and Emails

Hi everyone!

Sorry for our absence ;)

I'm currently working on my first video. I'm so excited for it to be finished, but it might take a while because it's a stop-motion lyric video, which means I have to make the video by taking pictures.

It's been annoying to me because I want it to be finished so I'm doing something for Lifesavers, but I also want it to look as good as possible so I'm taking my time on it.

But that doesn't mean that any of you have to wait to get in action. Start now!

If you click here, it will take you to the White House website. It will have all the contact info that you need to write a letter or email to the president. I'll put it here, too:

Address:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

 

They don't have an email on there, but click here to go to a page where you can email them.

 

I plan on writing a lot of letters/emails, but first I have to figure out what I'm going to say in the first one..... :)

 

Until I finish the video... maybe even before then, because I have some posts planned,

PS. Guess what? We only made this blog about 10 days ago but we have over 200 views. Thank you! Keep on spreading the word!

A Sad, Sad Comic Strip

Earlier today I was reading a comic strip and there was one comic about abortion, and it had a man and God, the man asked God why he didn't send us a cure for cancer etc,  and God told the man that he did but we aborted them.  That made my so sad, can you believe that we could be killing are cure for cancer are presidents, inventors.  Please help the fight against abortion!

We Will Fight

So, as many of you know, here in America the presidential election just occurred... and President Obama won.

Now, I had a feeling Mitt Romney was going to win, but since that didn't happen, we have our work cut out for us.

The president is definitely pro-choice, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on Lifesavers. With God's help, anything is possible. We will continue to go and fight for the unborn, and hopefully Obama will have a softening of heart and help to make abortion illegal.

LET'S DO THIS THING!!!
