Me again....fighting for those babies!

Someone sent me an email today asking if I was afraid I might lose readers because of my views/passion about abortion and the right to life. It took me about a mega-second to respond to her, but after some thinking, I thought I'd respond here in case anyone else was wondering the same question.

I first started journaling/blogging after our first adoption attempt failed. I did it mostly for myself. I wanted to keep a record for my child of every emotion that went with bringing him home. One thing led to another and I was seeing how much God was actually being glorified through my words in writing, as opposed to when I opened my mouth. His miracles on paper were very profound to me. Word spread and strangers began writing to me stating that my His words had affected them in one way or another. At the time, I thought no one read my blog except for me, with the exception of the times I'd drag my husband and daughter to the computer to read what I had written and asked their opinions. Although, this didn't happen often.

Most of my life, I've been very passionate about my convictions when I know it is the TRUTH. God's word is the truth. Always. I've never been one that leans towards being "politically correct". I think that phrase is a cop out for those that like to hide behind curtains that they fear and to remain in their comfort zone. I understand everyone has opinions and I certainly respect and invite those opinions as long as they are respectful, but I have rarely, if ever, changed my mind about something that I know is one of God's commandments. Abortion is murder. There is no doubt or question about it. Life begins at conception and this has been documented in medical journals worldwide.

The sixth commandment is very clear: THOU SHALL NOT KILL!

Bottom line is that if my stance on this issue makes my readers cringe and they choose to no longer read my blog, as much as I hate losing them, so be it. It's a risk I need to take. I would prefer to end up with only myself, my husband and my daughter reading my blog, then knowing that I am holding back something I feel so strongly about because I am ashamed of what others may think.

Life is really all about who we are trying to please. As much as I love my readers, when it's all said and done, who do I want to claim loves me? Who do I want to be proud of me? And who do I want to claim me as His own? Jesus is my response to all three of those questions! Anything else I accomplish in life won't mean anything if those three things don't happen when I meet him face to face. So, in case you were wondering, that's my response.

Now onto what I really wanted to say:

This short video is so worth watching. Please take a minute to do so.

Without exception, God's creations should always come first and foremost before any political issues or agendas regardless of partisanship.

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. - Psalm 127:3

"Throughout my career, I've been a consistent and strong supporter of reproductive justice, and have consistently had a 100% pro-choice rating with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America.

"When South Dakota passed a law banning all abortions in a direct effort to have Roe overruled, I was the only candidate for President to raise money to help the citizens of South Dakota repeal that law. When anti-choice protesters blocked the opening of an Illinois Planned Parenthood clinic in a community where affordable health care is in short supply, I was the only candidate for President who spoke out against it. And I will continue to defend this right by passing the Freedom of Choice Act as president." - Excerpt from Senator Barack Obama's statement on 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade Decision.

My question is, "What choice is that unborn child given?"
