Even as a #Prolife Activist, birthdays ain't my thing.

I'll clarify: I don't celebrate my birthday. Ever.

"But you are a prolifer," you're thinking. Yes, I am, probably the most obnoxious and out loud one you'll find. And it's not an 'age' thing or anything like that. It's that I was privileged TO be born while millions and millions have not.

My husband and I have literally fought over this. He wants to celebrate my birth with all the pomp and circumstance he can muster. He's the best guy ever. He is so precious to me.

Maybe I'm wrong. It's not a martyr thing, I assure you. I don't like attention. I don't like making a day 'mine', I hate that even on this day, the anniversary of my birth, over 3500 babies will lose their lives and never have their birthdays. Ever.

I wish I could explain this better. But just know that I thank God every day for my great health and the many blessings He has given me, despite my occasional disobedience. I thank God that He gave ME His only Son to save me from an eternal HELL.

Seriously, what more could I possibly want or need? I'd rather see that all unborn children be given the chance to have their first birthday; a life with a plan known to God and peace. Especially peace.

Because Mom ALWAYS liked you best.

There are a myriad of reasons why women abort. Probably the biggest reason is that the pregnant woman has been reduced to the bottom of a pile of people who will always be more important than her.

Let me explain, I hope.

I am the oldest of three. How many time have you heard how it's all about the oldest child or the 'baby' of the family? All the time we hear this. BUT...it's not true. I'll spare you all the details, but to give a quick synopsis, I've played second best since the beginning of my 50+ years on this earth.

Now, to be fair, I'm not one to live like I'm dying. I am careful, I think things through, I don't put others into harms way. When I in the fourth grade at an inner city school, a boy was very mean to me all the time. He finally slapped me and the teacher found out about it. LITERALLY, she grabbed him and put him up against a wall, held him there, and told me to hit him as hard as I can. Can you even imagine this in school today? Might solve some things....anyway, I stared at him for what seemed like FOREVER. I never hit him. I really wanted to - he deserved it - but my mind was in a flurry of what the ramifications would be if I did. I did not believe outcome could have supported the action. But the very cool thing was that someone, my teacher, actually stood up for ME. I had no idea how to handle that.

That's my life. Overthinking everything. Scared to death of everyone. Because I was always second best, if that, and had to justify and struggle for everything. I never wanted to hurt people because I hated getting hurt so much. Even being the oldest kid, I was ignored until I was needed for something, you know...like helping to pay rent or whatever.

So I disappeared, kind of. You know, wallflower kind of thing, and realized no one noticed. I'll just do my 'thing', whatever that is [was], no one cares.

Until I got pregnant.

I had NO idea how many lives I RUINED by getting pregnant. Or, at least that's what the general consensus was. I mean, little ol' me just kind of blended with the wallpaper until I got pregnant. My baby would be the source of everyone's ills and ails, the reason why we will be homeless, and probably keep us from world peace.

Just one tiny baby unleashed just how inhuman my entire family really is, even to this day. I was seeing this family naked for the first time and it wasn't pretty. But all of the sudden, I got all of the attention...as long as I get an abortion.

So, being second best, if THAT, made everyone else's opinion about my baby more important than mine...you know, the baby's mother. I was bullied, I was shunned, I was humiliated, I was ridiculed, I was hated. Everyone knew what was best for me and what would ultimately be the demise of my precious baby.

SO - the moral of the story is this: All I ever wanted was dignity, respect and love. And all I got was an abortion. When you hear of women aborting their babies, remember who really makes the decision to abort - VERY seldom is it her 'choice', but the 'choice' of everyone she thought she could trust. Most post-abortive moms find out the hard way who's second best...if that.

Sometimes I really wished I hit that kid in the fourth grade, learn to stand up for myself since no one would. Maybe that would have changed my doormat second best status? I guess we'll never know.

Even so, Joy Comes in the Mourning.

I went to an Infant Loss Memorial recently. It's for the loss of children through miscarriage, abortion, perinatal, SIDS, etc. It was a beautiful ceremony, Christ-centered, tactful, loving, and safe. It was a good place to mourn our children, to have fellowship with other moms, to tell stories, share testimonies, offer hope.

During the memorial, we were offered a candle to light for our children, to offer them to God if they had not yet done so. I remember thinking there isn't enough candles for my losses, my children. Yes, it's symbolic. Some people need that, the ceremony. And tragically, some parents have not 'offered' their child to the Lord. It's truly a process just for the parents because God has already accepted them. But we need to know He is with them, we need that comfort.

I was victimized by abortion and suffered miscarriages. Women told stories of their children and loss. It was wonderful to see married couples there because sometimes husbands don't want to face the loss or doesn't believe there really was a loss. To some, people just die. For others, there just isn't enough candles.

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." ~ 1Thessalonians 4:14

While I have loss, and it was tragic, others walk a harder walk: "...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," [Rom 5:8]. Us...each and every one of US.

I thank God my hope is in Jesus, because sometimes...there just isn't enough candles.

The Pastor's Desk | The Duggars, Liberal Hypocrisy, Sin & Repentance

Is the Duggar situation an isolated issue that has never happened to other families OR is everyone piling on the Duggars just because they are Christians? After seeing the videos, Michelle and Jim Bob did much more than the average parent does in situations like this. They really went the extra mile because they knew this would affect the adult Josh and their girls would be someday.

Josh was homeschooled, essentially isolated from the world and still Satan sought him out to do this despicable thing. Do you think for one minute that all children left alone in bedrooms, playhouses, or basements haven't at least thought of sexual exploration? Agreed, not all children do these things but it only takes one, once.

There are many things to address. First, this is a 'celebrity' Christian family that has protected their children FROM the world and never said one time that they are perfect and without sin. Second, these incidents were addressed and action taken where in most families, that does NOT happen. Third, because of their relationship with Jesus Christ, everyone involved understood true forgiveness of sin and repentance. Fourth, because God is a forgiving God who gives us a myriad of second chances, only the world would judge what God has already forgiven. It is never up to any individual to second guess what God has already taken care of.

The liberals who are judging the Duggars are no different than the religious who put Jesus Christ on a Cross to die PUBLICLY. They forget that their darling Lena Dunham did great harm to her own baby sister, wrote about it, spoke about it; Dunham is the darling of the Liberal Left? Just how huge is that LOG in your eye?

Why sexual sin? Satan does NOT make children believe they should....rob banks, for instance. Since God hates sexual sin outside of  the  covenant of traditional marriage. Satan uses sex to tear families and marriages apart. Satan uses sex to make people believe they are the wrong sex. Satan uses sex to twist a person's mind to believe they are homosexual. Satan uses sex to make men and women predators. Satan uses sex to open a young child's eyes to 'exploration', and in many instances, some parents do not discourage it calling it 'normal'. There is NOTHING normal about a child exploring anything sexual or an adult saying it's okay.

Coming from a Pastor's perspective, I think it's very interesting that Satan attacked the eldest son. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ and read the Bible, you know that the oldest son has a 'birthright'. In the Bible, Satan knows this and uses the oldest son to plague the family; for example the story or Jacob and Esau. Josh Duggar is the oldest son of the Duggar family who was following in his father's footsteps from business, family and Christian perspectives.

Children are coerced by other children, television, and the internet to inappropriately touch each other because of 'curiosity'. Sex is OUT LOUD in the world today, can you imagine what it's like for the average child that is NOT protected from the world? Every minute of every day kids are bombarded with sex in everything, from music to movies to friends to school. Have you looked at the clothes designed for girls under 5? Swimsuits? It's as if our girls are being set up to fail before they set foot in school for the very first time.

Looking inward: How dare ANYONE say anything about another's sin when they don't look at their own? Are YOU without sin? Then the question is, how long must a person be the accused for YOU to be satisfied?

Jesus said 'Go and sin no more' to the woman CAUGHT IN THE VERY ACT of adultery. We agree that what happened in the Duggar household was detestable, obviously. But like it or not, it's forgivable. God does not define Josh Duggar as a predator, He sees him as forgiven and repentant. If you do not or will not, then you need a little talk with Jesus.

As a Former Little Girl & Teenager, I Object.

Modesty, purity, dignity, parenting, grandparenting. Eyes wide open here. My husband says that I'm more 'for' the boys than I am the girls. I suppose there is some truth to that because I was a complete failure as a young girl and teenager and adult.

Total. Complete. Failure. Eyes wide SHUT.

This is probably why I'm harder on our girls. If girls made better decisions about their close friends and boys when they're young, they would likely continue to be great decision makers when they are older. The rule of thumb of boys is WAIT WAIT WAIT. And then WAIT some more. And when it comes to a girl's close friends, look at their lives and mistakes before you trust them. I've had more heartbreak from a 'friend' that I trusted; right or wrong, girls tend to trust friends more than family.

As a former little girl, I remember what my dad taught me by example; date has to meet Dad, get picked up at the front door, doors opened for us, respect. But in my case, that all slipped away when I went to live with my mom. How ironic, I know. But she taught me nothing; her example was the love of a man's money, not his ability to love and protect and respect forever in the covenant of marriage.

Then, when our girls, or even all girls in general, make one bad decision after another, it's angering. I see them making the same mistakes I made, doing stupid things. I wasted so much of my life trusting bad men and bad friends; seeing them do the same is like it's happening to me all over again. I hate that feeling of helplessness, I hate that for them. I know where it will lead.

Perhaps I put up with more from the boys because I'm trying to teach them not to do what men did to me and other women I've known. I want them to grow up to be fabulous husbands and fathers that their girls can depend on for her entire life.

I love all of the kids and grandkids but I don't have much patience for moral mistakes, sin. It'll shorten their lives rather than give them the abundant life promised if we follow Christ. My life changed after I met Jesus. He showed me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, in His image, part of His plan, and has my life in the very palm of His hand.

Girls: If I can tell you one thing, I would tell you all to stay off of social media. All of it. I cannot imagine how messed up our teen years would have been with REAL TIME bullying and men looking for everything other than 'forever'. Be very wary of temptation, it is not from God and will not love you back.

Boys: Stop it now. Seriously. If you can't be her 'forever', then let her go so her 'forever' can find her.

As a former little girl, teenager, friend - I OBJECT to inappropriate relationships and disrespect of ourselves and our girls.

Better women make better men.

Deep in the Heart of Texas, Life still happens.

So much, not enough, out to lunch is what this week seems like. People grab at you, family spurns you, even the weather wouldn't cooperate. It's been gray and rainy the entire time. I know that I know THAT I KNOW to listen to God, and we should have waited a week.

But that's okay. The storm was going to be literally waiting for us. Every. Day.

It's a hard thing, being a parent to adult kids. If there is one thing I can tell you that has changed since I was young is this: RESPECT. No one, not one kid, has any respect for their parents and grandparents anymore. We've found out the hard way that money does not buy their respect, but they sure don't mind taking it - money AND respect....on their terms.

Where did we go wrong? I don't think WE did anything to deserve this. Adult kids and teen kids feel the freedom to tell us to go **** ourselves, tell us their lousy life is all our fault, while they are all stuck in a life they created for themselves that we cannot change for them. Sometimes I feel helpless, but not paralyzed, much to their chagrin.

I think we need to take a break from their assaults but my heart and God wants me to continue to reach out. And we will. Until our dying breath....whether they like it or not.

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.

....and then there's the day AFTER Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is not what it is for everyone else.

I have learned a long time ago not to wait by my telephone on Mother's Day. Sometimes it rings, sometimes it doesn't. This is why my husband and I usually take a day trip that day. We really love to get out and drive the countryside, see and hear God's creation, give Glory to God....because sometimes, my telephone doesn't ring.

It doesn't ring for everyone else, either. I know too many moms who have been rejected by their adult kids. I have grown accustomed to the disrespect and hate, I can't change them. So, I have to change ME.

Parents have to not look back but blaze a trail FORWARD. If we are forgiven by God, then who are they to keep us in THEIR subjection? That, my friends, is being held hostage. And I won't live like that....anymore.

There are other victims of Mother's Day: post abortive women, women who miscarried, kids in foster care, adopted kids, the brokenhearted, etc. A victim stays a victim until you escape. A holiday does not identify who we are to God. We are His, we are forgiven; if our kids can't forgive, then too bad. I can't live in the memory they have for us for the rest of THEIR lives.

My husband honors me for Mother's Day. He always has. He knows that this day is really about MOM, they one who gave life, the one who loves unconditionally, the one who is there when she's not needed or wanted. I have made mistakes just like every other person in the world, but I certainly don't need a holiday to remind me of it.

Happy Day After Mother's Day:

v16 Thus says the Lord:

“Refrain your voice from weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
v17 There is hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border." Jeremiah 31:15-17

Is Bullying the New Black?

Hate is a strong word, why are we forced to use it so much? We are so sanctimonious and smug as humans, constantly we drone on about me me me. Sometimes I think it's because we are tying to protect ourselves, other times it is to replenish what another has taken away so barbarically.

All this talk about bullying in the world today, is this the new 'hate' word?

Bullying has been around way longer than the agendas that rely on it today. It's not a victimless crime, it does not go without grief.

When I was a kid, I had the audacity to be too skinny, too tall, too pale, too brown headed which of course meant that I had to be the target of every bully at every school for any reason. Every day I dealt with it. I wasn't black/asian/hispanic, I wasn't gay...then how in the world could I have had the gall to be bullied when the protected classes weren't? Interesting. Every day I was called names. Every day I was told I was getting beaten up. Every day I walked home in total fear. Every day I wanted to die for the crime of being bullied. EVERY. DAY.

Hated. Plain and simple, I was hated for not being something else. And I had no special interest groups to protect me, I had no government offices or Senators willing to take my case to the Supreme Court; in fact the ACLU had absolutely no interest in my case. Why? Because of my so-called 'white privilege' which somehow miraculously gave me assumed protection that I never had. What a LIE. This is why I don't buy into protecting only certain kids from being bullied at schools; no one can hide. I've made that crystal clear. Schools today are training teachers and counselors to look past bullied kids like me and be like body armor to minority kids and gay kids.

So much for so-called 'white privilege'. Recently, most of the kids that have committed suicide for being bullied are average white kids. These days, I can't fathom how horrific it is with social media. Now everything is in real time, just a click away. Destroy someone's life...because you can.

The Bible says hate is akin to murder [1John 3:15]. In the hearts of bullies, I was murdered for the crime of being NOT them. When I was being bullied back then, I cried. Today, I PRAY. It's easy to hate back, but not wise or Godly. The hard thing to do is give them the other cheek [Matt 5:39].

Ultimately we all have to answer to God for what we have done or NOT done. Life is about pressing on, dying well, knowing eternity is really forever, and at least trying to make things better so others will try to love FIRST.

If you are being bullied, remember that GOD LOVE YOU! And tell someone! And if they don't do anything, TELL SOMEONE ELSE. And keep telling until it stops.

HEY! Who's the Parent Around Here??? The Answer is Not What You Think.

What are we teaching our kids? What are we teaching our ADULT kids? Have you made a public profession of continuing to be their parent OR do you think they really aren't paying attention?

Sounds weird, eh? Yeah, I know. But hear me out.

Parents preach what they want from kids but do they actually DO rather than just preach? I've often thought that being a parent is like being a Pastor of a church...or is it the other way around, I wonder. Anyway, God gives us these wonderful little people to love and teach so that they can do the same for their children. Instead, kids react to what they SEE rather than HEAR.

Jesus told us to get the LOG out of our own eye before we can tell our brother to get the speck out if his [Matt 7:3-5]. Excellent advice, I'd say. But few take it.

Then, are parents just a spring of advice or are they doers? Obviously, we should be both. Before I came to Christ many years ago and a parent, I preached all kids of stuff to the kids without backing it up. Most parents do. We see the freight train coming, we feel the storm about to erupt, WE KNOW. But what kids remember is quite a bit different of us parents trying to keep them out of a busy street with cars speeding toward them.

After I became a Christian, ALL of these things became crystal clear. I spoke it, didn't do it, and neither did my kids....then or now. So, I had to get my credibility back as their parent and keep it as a Christian. After all, God is who I have to answer to, ultimately.

When our adult kids do dumb stuff, bad things, or get caught up in another's web, they come out swinging remembering what they thought was 'cool dad' or 'fun mom' instead of the real deal life issues we tried to tackle when they were little. I guess what I'm trying to say is that parents will get the blunt end of everything, we have to persevere, the kids have to redirect their pain and suffering, and in the meantime we have to not be hurt by their disparity or disinterest or disbelief in us. The blame game is getting very old.  

Life isn't Nintendo. Remember when a Nintendo game made everything better? Ahhhh the 80's; no smartphones, no computers, no tablets, NO SOCIAL MEDIA! But even back then we left them in front of that game like some kind of cheap babysitter hoping for 'the best'. It made them happy then, but the 'best' came and went and left one heck of a mess.

Just like you and everyone else, I am still parenting adult kids - but this time I'm doing it with the help of God, trusting God, and showing them the love OF God for themselves and their lives.

God is really is the only way to having successful adult kids so they can have their own extraordinary families.

The Parent Ship in the Storm When LIFE Happens

As a Christian and a parent, I have learned to trust God with the big stuff, and not so big stuff. I don't nag, but I will answer a question as I feel God would want me to and back it up with love and kindness. My opinion may not be popular, but then again, I am their parent first.

I'm a results person. In other words, we are HERE now [like those maps in amusement parks say] and after going through getting HERE, only results matter. The way HERE was tumultuous and contrary to my better judgement for them, made me lose sleep, prayed and prayed - and I'm sure that the way HERE made me a special kind of insane. So the fact that I'll have a Godly answer is kind of impressive, especially since I feel like I've aged about 100 years over it.

Complaining now is not only counterproductive, but makes the situation take two steps back when we need a miracle; and miracles only go forward.

Having adult kids is HARD. Did I say it was HARD?? After taking one of my adult kids to the doctor recently, I got this revelation that I'm just his ride there. In other words, the doctor has no legal reason to tell me anything about his appointment. I just sat there quite befuddled and a little hurt. The kids are adults, have children of their own. What's a mom of adults kids to do in these situations? I'll let you know when I find out ;)

God has made a way with us to take care of our adult kids for prolonged periods of time to nurture, mend, love, and just plain help when life gets really HARD. A recent article said that 1 in 6 adults have moved back 'home'. I think it's much more than that. This world had made it very hard for kids to be on their own today. Rent is astronomical, pay is getting lower and lower, student debt is insane, good jobs are sparse, and if they are single parents, quadruple the hardship...at least.

And even though God has made a way for us to be that blessing - the ship in the storm - it may not be so to kids who won't let us. We nearly bought a house to do this, just to be told no at the very last minute. Or they leave too early and unprepared and find themselves broke or homeless, or both AGAIN. They always need money yesterday, no one plans for anything, so when I'm left holding the bag I usually don't have much to work with. I have to start over for them, get back to the basics of life.

I just wish that they wouldn't let it get so bad that it gets this HARD.

Sometimes, that horse won't drink no matter how you try. So, what's a parent to do? TRUST GOD. KEEP TRUSTING GOD. DID I MENTION TO TRUST GOD?

Oh, and keep a light on. You never know when the phone or doorbell will ring.

A Mom is a Mom FOREVER.

Even when they are adults, on their own, we still fret and want to fix whatever is wrong. I'm a mom to a man who has a child of his own...but still his mom. And I want to fix it for him.

It's not about smothering, it's about knowing the path he's about to take and I want to keep him from harm. Is that so wrong? Of course not. I've been fighting for him since I found out I was pregnant over 30 years ago. After losing a child to a coerced abortion in the 70's, I fought for him. You see, my mother tried to force me to abort again and this time, I SAID NO. Even though I had NO plan, NO resources, NO help. I fought anyway.

And I'm still fighting for him, and I will until either my last breath or his. Only death can separate us.

When I see him hurting, I hurt for him even if his choices weren't so good. He's my kid, my son...my baby.

After having him for a few weeks to help him get back on his feet, I know I have to give him back. I don't want to. I hate doing it. I want to stand between him and life on the other side of my front door to shield him. But I know I have to give him back...right into the hands of what hurt him.

I have to trust God with every step he's taken in his life and in his future. God wants him to be victorious, not to fail, and glorify Him in the process. I know this. I mean, I REALLY KNOW THIS. But it does't make it any easier to let him go.

My son was a crisis pregnancy that did not succumb to an abortion. He was meant to be here, he was known to God before the very foundation of the world, and He gave him to me.

God gave me this incredible kid because even in His infinite wisdom, even though He created the entire world and universe, EVEN THOUGH He is GOD, He trusted ME....ME....to entrust this incredible life to birth, to love, to instruct, to be there in the worst of it, no matter what.

God trusted ME. I am forever grateful to a Holy God that would look at a mess like me and determine I am good enough to raise a child I was blessed with regardless of the circumstances.

There are no orphans of God. And not one of us are fatherless because we have a Father in Heaven who watches over....even me. 

Fighting for the unnamed and voiceless.

Who does abortion affect? Everyone.

A man in Texas found out he was going to be an uncle; he was overjoyed. The thought never crossed his mind that his sister would choose not to have the baby as planned and would instead choose to have an abortion. He joined the fight against abortion and is working to inform the community about his family's experience of losing a child.

A man in Ohio found out he was going to be a father…after his girlfriend had an abortion without his knowledge. He won’t have the opportunity to know that child until Heaven.

Did you know it is mathematically impossible to overpopulate the Earth?

"No child should be born that is not wanted. The earth is groaning now from overpopulation. Birth control often fails. Abortion should be free, and yes, paid for by the government. Taxpayers would save money in the long run. As someone has said, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." [local newspaper]

As I read articles about prolife campaigns and the great work that they do, there is always negative and outright vulgar comments:

"Fight like hell to keep 'em all alive (no problem with that) but once they are born, you better not raise my damn taxes one cent to pay for these deadbeats." [comment; HP]

How did the human race learn to hate so vehemently?

A recent letter to the editor in the Dayton Daily News tried to compare abortion with capital punishment. The two are comparable, more like elephants and goldfish. When does an innocent baby get a trial of its peers, or an appeal? Capital punishment may be cruel to some, but it is a punishment for a crime committed. The unborn child committed no crime, therefore abortion is murder to the innocent.

It is not God's intention for anyone to be sexually active before marriage. Ever.

Personhood USA says it’s organization's goal is to amend state constitutions with the declaration that personhood begins at conception. Critics say giving a fertilized egg the status of personhood threatens everything from birth control to in vitro fertilization and stem cell research, but particularly to abolish abortion.

It took over 100 years (counting from 1857) to prove the personhood of slaves.

In 1857, in a BOLD move to manipulate the Constitution to reflect only a certain sect of the population of the United States, the Supreme Court decides that slaves are property and Congress cannot deprive citizens of their property. Slaves are “not citizens of any state” and “have no rights a court must respect.” Much is the same with the personhood of unborn Americans; a certain sect of Americans insisted upon being a protected class which would supersede the protections guaranteed by the United States Constitution for the unborn. 

Then how much longer will it take for the Supreme Court to validate the personhood of a human embryo at conception?

Life. Personhood. Respect.

And the Pastor's wife said, "Your signs are mean!" Really...so is ABORTION.

There are no coincidences, God has His reasons for people meeting - even on the sidewalk.

A young woman stopped by today at the abortion facility, on the facility side of the sidewalk in their parking lot. She wanted to debate the signs that are used with Viv, our anchor sidewalk counselor. Apparently this woman believed the 'signs made people feel bad'. And to Viv's credit, these were 'unborn development' signs, not the graphic aborted signs that are usually used. 

Her position was that Jesus would never do this to women....the signs and people trying to counsel abortion-minded women, coming to the sidewalk that is. It is an incredible thing that people still believe Jesus to be some kind of weakling who would not defend the lives of unborn babies or anything uncomfortable. But the incredible part is that this young woman complaining we are not being Christ-like is a Pastor's wife. Yes, a PASTOR'S WIFE.

"And I am a Christian," she said, "and a Pastor's wife." She did not help her position but it did tell the tale of why Christians and Churches don't show up to defend God's creation.

The gloves came off when she told me she 'could eat my lunch' with scripture to defend her herself and Jesus...and that's all I needed. I promptly let her know that 'Reverend' is in front of my name, ordained and licensed. I also let her know that she, her pastor husband and their church are not here standing in the gap to defend and protect the image of God: unborn children. I told her she needs to go back to the first chapter of Romans to remind herself how God feels about people that "also approve of those who practice them" [Rom 1:18-32].

They are in grave error; choosing to ignore the plank in their own eye is why they can't see the truth:

"v3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? v4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? v5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7:3-5

I gave her plenty to think about. God brought this Pastor's wife to us so that He can break her comfort zone and break her heart over the daily murder of His creation. This article is not meant to bring condemnation to her [I am NOT God] but to bring awareness of what God really wants from her and the rest of us: OBEDIENCE.

Over 4000 unborn babies die every day because the church lays silent. The church always rests on what is comfortable rather than do what God called them to do. God NEVER calls anyone to do what is comfortable...EVER. 

What wouldn't Jesus do?  NOT show up. If Jesus turned over the money-changers tables in the temple, do you really believe Jesus would allow His creation to be disarticulated within the womb? "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword", Matthew 10:34.

Then, what WOULD Jesus do? SHOW UP at the sidewalk and tell abortion-minded women they are killing His creation. Then Jesus would go to your 'church' and let them know they are NOT practicing or living His two commandments:

"v30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. v31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

If the Church stays silent, abortion will never end. We try to contact and connect with churches all the time to help stand it the gap as Christ would but none call back, none show up.

I think that beam is so big in the Church's eye that it can't see past it to see their own error of not ministering to the 'least of these':

“v44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ v45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’" Matthew 25:44-45

Abortion Pill Reversal Saves Lives

The abortion pill is a two pill 'system': "Within a few days after taking either mifepristone or methotrexate, a second drug, misoprostol, is taken. Misoprostol tablets (which may be placed either into the vagina, between cheek and gum, or swallowed) cause the uterus to contract and empty. This ends the pregnancy [NAF]."

These 'medications' can also be purchased online without a doctor's prescription or authorization which means anyone, including minors, can purchase them.

Many times, women who have taken the first pill instantly regret their decision. Now there is a way to reverse the 'abortion':

"We're looking at about 120-130 women right now who have babies that are surviving and doing well and it looks like we have about a 60 percent success rate, which is much better than if you do nothing."

A doctor in Charlotte, North Carolina, has designed a kit that can reverse the effects of the abortion pill on unborn babies. Dr. Matthew Harrison said the treatment is a series of progesterone shots which have to be taken within an estimated 72 hours of the abortion pill being taken. 

“Those shots consist of one shot a day for three days, and then a shot every other day for a total of two weeks, and then twice a week up until the end of the first trimester which is 13 weeks along,” he said. “The way the abortion pill works is it essentially starves the baby by blocking the natural hormone that's in the woman's body. So if that hormone is blocked, the baby can't survive. What progesterone does, the treatment we give her, is it puts extra hormone into her system, the natural hormone that's already in her system, and it floods her system with progesterone so the abortion pill doesn't work."

Dr. Harrison said there are currently more than 200 doctors across the country who have endorsed the abortion pill reversal kit and have signed on to use it.
