Tonight, I was able to witness a pro-life talk that was given by an amazing speaker, Bryan Kemper. And, none of my writings have been really focused on "hot topics" such as abortion. With the anniversary of Roe VS Wade coming up, I believe it's appropriate to write this now.
Let's cover some facts, first.
One out of every 4 babies conceived in the United States is aborted. In more than 14 metropolitan areas, abortions outnumber live births. More than 40 million abortions have occurred since 1973. Each year 1.2 million babies die by abortion.
Why are abortions preformed?
Women choose abortion for many reasons, but the most common reasons have to do with financial issues, the responsibility, fear, and the main fact that they aren't READY.
How can we avoid this?
We abstain from sex. I know what people are thinking: "What?!? Are you serious?!" Yes, I am. Because, quite frankly, birth control is not 100% effective. Nor are condoms. If you can't handle the responsibility of a baby, then you can't handle the responsibility of sharing something so special between a man and woman. The whole purpose of why many wait until marriage, is because they want to save it. They find it something special. They want to give their spouse everything. The issue with pre-marital sex and trying to use birth control is this: You aren't giving your partner everything. The whole point in sex is to give your whole self. When you say: "I just want to give you my body, and not the pro creating aspect of me" it doesn't work.
What about rape/incest?
First, let me just say that my heart goes out to those that have been sexually abused.
No one should have to go through that. Or any form of abuse.
And second, the percentage of getting pregnant by incest or rape is about 1%.
I'm someone that believes in other options, such as adoption. There are plenty of families that are willing to adopt, that can't have children of their own. As a woman that has a condition called: Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome, I believe it might lessen my chance of having children. I'm not quite sure how fertile I am. So, to know that there's the option of adoption is wonderful.

I find abortion just terrible. We are living in our own modern day holocaust. Since 1973, more babies have died from abortion, than people that were killed in the holocaust. Did you hear that? Since 1973, more babies have died from abortion, than people that were killed in the holocaust. WHY? It's sick, and the only reason why we are 37 years into this is because nobody has taken this seriously. Nobody has been a voice. As Christians, we need to come together and BE a voice for the babies! We can put an end to abortion! But, we need to start somewhere.
We need to pray. We need to show others that we are pro-life. And, not only towards babies. But, we need to show love to those that are born and unborn. Even if they don't treat you with love, love them anyway. God has created life, therefore all life is precious.
If any woman got an ultra sound, they would realize that YES, in the womb there IS a baby!
And its life began at conception. When the sperm met with the egg.
______________
Month 1-
Your baby is an embryo consisting of two layers of cells from which all her body parts and organs will form from.
Month 2-
Your baby is about the size of a kidney bean and is constantly moving. Your baby also has slightly webbed fingers.
Month 3-
By now your baby is about 3 inches long and weighs nearly an ounce. Her tiny and unique finger prints are in place.
Month 4-
Your baby is about 5 inches long now, and weighs 5 ounces. The skeleton is starting to harden.
Month 5-
Eyebrows and eyelids are now in place. The baby would be 10 inches, if the legs were stretched out.
Month 6-
The baby weighs about a pound and a half. The wrinkled skin is starting to smooth out as the baby puts on baby fat.
Month 7-
By now your baby weighs bout 3 pounds and is more than 15 inches long. The baby can open and close its eyes, and follow a light.
Month 8-
Your baby weighs about 4 3/4 pounds now. The layers of fat are filling him out, and the lungs are developed.
Month 9-
By now, babies are usually 19 inches and weigh about 7 lbs on average. But, it varies.

You can't tell me that life doesn't begin at conception when ALL of this takes place starting from day one. You can't tell me that it's RIGHT to kill a human life.
How do you think the baby feels about this? They deserve a shot at life.
Please, be voice. Help bring an end to abortion.
