Abortion, is there life?
One of my most emotional videos so far. Showing the undeniable reality of life in the womb.
Women, there are other options. Across the country and the world there are crisis pregnancy centers such as All Babies Cherished. A google search brings up many acredited help centers. Please listen to your heart.
If only we all could look at other human beings no matter their race, health, sex, ability, etc. and say, "You are a human being. I acknowledge that you are alive and that you have the same right to live as I have. Though I may not understand you, I respect you as a fellow human on this planet trying to overcome adversity just as I am, trying to find happiness just as I am, crying and laughing just as I am, and above all else and most importantly you are alive just as I am alive."
My mother's life was not destroyed when, at 19 years old, she chose to give birth to me instead of having an abortion as many suggested. They suggested this so that she could start a life free of a physically and verbally abusive relationship, avoid being a single parent, go to college, have a career and get remarried and have children with a man she loved. Though life was not easy for her (whose life is?) she choose to let me continue living.
Now I am 20, older than she was when she had me. She is remarried and has just graduated from college (she went back to school to be a teacher).
Maybe you will say that this is the extreme case and all women will not eventually be able to fulfill their dreams like she did, but I am here and alive to say that it is possible. This little baby is a gift to you and you are a gift to him or her. Your lives flow together...all you have to decide is whether or not you will cut short that life inside you.
To all you girls and women out there who are pregnant, life is not over when you give life to your baby; it's just beginning in a new and different way. Peace.

Regarding "Saving" children from abuse, neglect, disease, a handicap etc. by taking their life by abortion:
By saying that one is saving children from tough family situations, and those who may be born with drug addictions or HIV or a handicap, you are also saying that these children are less human or less deserving of life than other "normal" babies. Before we try to "save" those babies by killing them, maybe we should think of the beauty of their life, of the love of their friends, and their future impact on the world. Are the children with the above "conditions" who live outside of the womb, who are newborns, toddlers, teens, etc less worth to live because their lives seem much "harder" than our own. How many of us can really say they should not be alive? A tough family situation, a handicap, having HIV or a pre-natal addiction to drugs does not doom a person's life...Are we willing to tell all those people who have been born "abnormal" that they don't deserve to live or that their life is not as worthy or meaningful as our own? That it would have been better that they hadn't been born? I believe those people would disagree.
I see myself in you
In everything you do
And when you're all alone at night
You know I am by your side
Cuz I'm there too
I see me in your eyes
And I'm tears you cry
And when you fall apart
And I'm dying from a broken heart
I'm there too
I see your footsteps in the sand
As you journey on across this land
But if you should fall on your way
Then I will carry you that day
Cuz I'm there
I'm there too
Yeah I'm there too
I see your face in mine
And I know there'll come a time
When you will take my hand
And I will understand
That you're there too
When you will take my hand
And I will understand
That you're there
You're there too
