Thanks for NOT Aborting Me: The New Mother's Day

DEAR MOTHER'S DAY: Not a fan. I do not remember loving moments, I do not remember vacations, I do not have those memories that other's have of their moms. No picnics, no campy Olan Mills family portraits, no adventures in the park, nothing. As an adult there were no chats over coffee, no lunches or cookie baking for holidays. It was all survival, all the time.

If abortion had been legal in the early 60's, I firmly believe that I had an 100% chance of dying an abortion death. In other words, I knew she had the propensity to abort because I have an aborted sibling.

The reason why she would have aborted is exactly the same reason women abort today: lousy husband/boyfriend, finances, depression, paralyzing fear, isolation, NO family help, etc. The only thing that's changed for the last hundred years is the law. Women have to trust in something, why not a cold, evil law since everyone else bailed on you.

Abortion is evil. Abortion is not reproductive healthcare, abortion does not promote life no matter how much proaborts tell the moms that abortion will give them their life back.

Abortion takes lives, does not GIVE life. Abortion won't make you a better mother later. It's all a damnable lie.

No, I'm not a fan of Mother's Day because as moms we should look inward to do better rather than being propped up on a throne for a day. Unborn children are dying all around us while moms get their brunch or breakfast in bed or bouquet of flowers. Even on Mother's Day, thousands of unborn children will die because their moms believed the lie of abortion.

Abortion will NEVER:

  • Pay the rent
  • Buy groceries
  • Put gas in the car
  • Give you a better job
  • Help you to go to school or graduate 
  • Make your spouse love you
  • Make your friends and family accept you
  • Fill up your bank account
  • LOVE. Abortion does not love you or your circumstances. Ever.

I wish my mom didn't believe the lie of abortion. She passed on a generational sin of abortion, an indifference to life, to her surviving children and grandchildren. Mourning the loss doesn't change what happened, but it can change the future. Tell a mom that they have been chosen by God to have this child even in the worst of times. It has been a privilege to be chosen by Him to nurture a child that He has entrusted to me, and for that I am forever grateful.
