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 :)

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:)
