Mother Mary (Mama Mary) and My Little Joan
Do you ever have a moment when something really grabs your heart, you know, all of a sudden you think of something that you just have to talk about; you just need someone to understand what you are trying to say? Well this is it for me, this is my moment.
I was scrolling past the pictures I've posted on my blog and I came to the picture of the Pro-Life Rams (pro-life group at our college) hammering crosses into the ground at ASU. Over 2,000 crosses were hammered into the ground to represent the 3,300 babies that are aborted in our country every day. A very visual image was created with the "Cemetery of the Innocents" display. As I looked out across the field with all of those crosses it really hit me. These tiny, precious babies who are aborted aren't even buried. They are not even buried! These innocent babies are not even buried!
The remains of aborted babies are picked up by a medical waste truck, to be thrown away like garbage. I know this is not something anyone wants to hear, it's not something I even want to think about, but it is the truth, and that is just one of the reasons we have to stop abortion, we have to! A baby is a gift from God a baby is not medical waste. How can we let this happen?
I know that most of you who read my blog feel like I do, and I'm thankful for all of your encouragement and support. I know that many of you work hard and stand up for the pro-life movement. However if there is someone reading this blog who wants to do something, but doesn't know what to do or where to start, here are some suggestions. Please pray for an end to abortion. Vote for an end to abortion. Speak up about the ugly truth of abortion. Buy a pro-life bumper sticker. Do something, because anything is better than nothing.
I started my blog to help spread awareness about the life options that are available. I pray that this blog helps someone make a life choice. I pray that someone who reads this blog will guide someone else to make a life choice. I don't know if this blog will ever help anyone, I want it to, I pray it does, but at least I know I'm trying to do something. I will not give up, I will not be silent. What if? What if we promoted the pro-life message in such as way that everyone got it? That everyone understood that a baby is a baby, not a choice. Wouldn't it be amazing if no one would choode to have an abortion even though they are legal. That as abortionist would see that he or she are taking a life, not a choice. Wouldn't it be amazing if no one would choose to have an abortion, even though they are legal. That an abortionist would see that he or she are taking a life, instead of saving a life, that instead of being called an abortionist, they would want to be called a doctor. You are probably thinking "dream on, sister" and maybe, probably you are right. But I will not give up, I'll keep trying. I want people to know about the help that is out there. I want people to know that abortion is not their only option. I placed brochures about adoption in our Church vestibule. I also carry them with me. In the early morning hoursm, my husband and I pray for the unborn on the East Coast, because we know that abortions are already in progress. We pray throughout the day for all the unborn everywhere, for their mothers, and for their fathers to say "NO" to abortion and "YES" to life!? We pray that the abortionists will walk out and say, "NO MORE. I will not take another baby's life, not today, not ever!" Please pray with us for the unborn, please pray for the baby girl or baby boy's mother, their father, and also pray for the abortionists. Please pray for an end to abortion.

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
