Let them LIVE

My heart is broken for the unborn. Over these past 2 years my heart and mind has been drawn to the plight of pre-born babies. I have been made aware, through much reading and researching, about the apalling state of Canada's laws that do nothing to protect these babies. There is this myth that babies in the womb are only aborted in the first trimester in Canada. According to the law they are not humans until they have left the mother's body, therefore, there is nothing stopping an abortionist from stealing that baby's life away. Who are we to determine when a human being is valuable enough to be spared from death? Who are we to dare to call an abortion a "right". I have the right to vote, the right to work, to get married, travel, have children...but I do not have, and will never give myself permission to, make the choice to determine when a baby's life is valuable and whether or not I want to end it. Pro-abortionists would call me an "anti-choicer". They couldn't be more correct. If the choice is the death of a child, I am so anti-choice. I would dare to go so far as to say that I would give up all of the "women's rights" that have been hard-fought for if it meant not one more baby had to die in its mother's womb by abortion. I speak strongly because I feel strongly, and I am more confident about this issue than any other. Life begins at conception and abortion ends that life.

I struggle with sharing my pro-life views sometimes, not because I am ashamed, but because I have been so blessed to have a relatively easy life and I admit that I do not understand some of the really hard stuff that some people go through. Teen pregnancy, sexual or physical abuse, abandonment by family, spouse or partner etc. I can't imagine the hardships that women around the world have to face, and an unplanned pregnancy must be one of the scariest things of all, but I stand by my desire for women to always choose life, no matter what the circumstance. I have compassion for the people caught up in abortion in one way or another, and I want to start praying more often for them, that their eyes will be opened.

My blood boils at Enemy who has deceived millions of men and women into believing they have this choice over life or death. Just as we have no choice about when we will enter or leave this earth, we should have no option of taking the life of the pre-born.  Over 3 million abortions have been reported since 1974 in Canada. Lord, help us.

2 Corinthians 4:1-9
Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
