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).

Until abortion ends,

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.

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 :)

Random Essay

Hey everyone!

I had to write a dialogue for school "in which one of the characters explains and clarifies an important moral point rooted in one of the Ten Commandments". I decided to do commandment #6-- Thou shalt not kill-- and write about abortion. Hope you like it!


The two friends, Lizzie and Serena, met up at the door, all ready for youth group. Serena was so excited because the head of their local pregnancy resource center was coming to talk. After a Bible reading, activity, and reflection, the woman finally got up to speak. Once she finished her speech, the group adjourned.
            “That was a really great speech,” Serena said as they started to walk home.
            “I suppose so,” Lizzie replied, “but I don’t really agree with it. I think a woman should have the right to have an abortion. After all, it’s not a baby, only a blob of cells.”
            “But Lizzie, it is a baby. There are a bunch of things that prove it.”
            “Like what?”
            “Well,” Serena said, “the heart starts to beat at 18 days after conception, and everything with a beating heart is considered living. A baby’s brain waves can be detected at six weeks, and it can feel pain by nine weeks. In the just fourth week, many of its major organs like the liver, lungs, pancreas, and stomach, begins to form.

           
“Okay, but it still doesn’t look like one. And it’s inside its mothers body, and she should be able to do what she wants with her body.”
            “Just because it doesn’t look like a human doesn’t mean it’s not one. If a child with special needs is born looking different, does that mean it’s not human? Or how about a soldier whose face has been brutally burned and distorted, does that mean he’s not human, either?”
            “Well… no.”
            “And yes, it’s inside its mother’s body, but that doesn’t mean it’s a part of its mothers body. The baby has its own body, too, which you shouldn’t be permitted to kill. Besides, if you kill a pregnant woman you would be charged for two murders.”
            “Okay, so the baby’s a person. But you have to think of the life he would have,” Lizzie countered. “What if its mother couldn’t afford to take good care of him? Then he would grow up poor and starving.”
            “If she can’t afford to take good care of him, the mother should give him up for adoption. There are a lot of couples out there who can’t have kids, and adoption is their only way to have a family. Frankly, I think most teen moms should give their children up for adoption, so that their kids can have a mother and a father. It would also be a lot less stress on the birth mom.”
            “That’s true… and, since the baby is a human, when you have an abortion you would kill it, which means you violate the sixth commandment,”
            “Thou shalt not kill,” Serena finished her sentence. By now they had reached their parting way.
            “Thanks, Serena, for telling me all this stuff. I already have a bunch of ideas on pro-life volunteering work we can do. Bye!”
            “Bye, Lizzie! I can’t wait to hear your plans! See you!” Serena continued on her way home, smiling to herself.
I'm working on a three-part adoption series. It'll be coming soon!

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).

Making the hard decisions

I have some great news. Finally, I know!


So a 26-year old lady in the UK gives birth twice in 8 months. Claire Ormrod was pregnant with a girl named Alice, then she had a emergency caesarean section 25 weeks on December 6, 2011. Alice weighed 1 pound, 3 ounces, and doctors didn’t think she would survive. But she did. And 7 weeks later (despite being on the birth control pill) she got pregnant again. In september 2012 she gave birth to her son Gareth. He was born early too. He weighed 2 pounds. After finding out she was pregnant again she was pretty scared, her doctor said that she could die from this because of her last birth and to just get a abortion, but she said no. And in end every turned out okay. She is well at home with her 2 new babies. Isn't that amazing? Now she could have picked the easier/healthier way out and not take the risk of dyeing, but she didn't because she loved her baby to much. 

70% of women get abortion because the baby will effect there lives too much. And the truth is yes, a baby is going to need lots of caring for! But trust me, it's so worth it! Feeling there little heart beat, stocking there soft hair. Babies are a blessing. 

Anyways me and Charity were not able to go on the march for life, but we still made posters. How about making your own? You don't need poster board! Just paper! Get creative, put a really good pro life quote on it. Or put your own thoughts on abortion on it. Whatever! And send them in, if there really good we will put them on our blog! 

Oh and i'm Adopting an unborn baby. Don't have a name yet but I will post when I do!

*March for life photos, videos, posters to come:)

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.

Thanks for reading,

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.

I am Pro-Life Because...

Whose artistic out there? Who stands up for what you believe in? Who is a lifesaver? If you're any of these three things, then join me in my new attempt to stand up for life!! It's called "I am pro life because..." All you have to do is take a sheet of paper and write I am pro life because... On the top, and why you're pro life and the web address to this blog or our website. Take a picture of this poster and share it on your Facebook, Instagram, twitter, blog... Whatever. Even just keep it to yourself!

If you make one, PLEASE email it to us at 4lifesavers@gmail.com! We'd love to see all your posters! And, who knows, if they get really creative me might even post them on here ;)

I read a quote the other day, and it's really inspiring and totally true!! "We cannot fail, because God is our ally. When you think of it like that, isn't it wonderful?" -Mother Mary Walsh

Thanks for all your support, everyone! It truly means a lot.

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!

Sorry I/we have not posted in a while.

Speak up!

Like we said before we are just some teens trying to stop abortion. Well i have be thinking a LOT about that. And you know Obama is not just going to stop abortion because "some teens don't like it"! To stop abortion we need everybody! Because Obama does not care if its just 100 people, no no we need 1,000,00! But anyway right now we (in know way) could totally stop abortion, and that's okay (I mean its really not but you know what I mean) because stoping abortion does not mean just talking to Obama, it means talking to people who need to know someone is there for them. So if you have a friend who might/wants to have a abortion talk to them! Tell them want you would want a loved one to tell you!

~Hope*
P.s just because your not commenting does not mean I can't still tell your reading this blog;) So speak up!

Lucy Lyric Video

It is finished! Here is the lyric video to the song "Lucy" I've been making for a while. It's not perfect, there are quite a few blurry and unfocused pictures, but I think it'll get the message through. Hope you like it :)

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,
 
~Chastity*
 
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!
