I am Pro-Life! When I was around 11 years old my mom was having a conversation over AIM with my papa (grandpa), who lives in Virginia, and I happened to be sitting next to her. I was reading some of their conversation, (and no i wasnt being nosey..she was letting me read), and they started talking about abortion. I had NO idea what it was and out of my own curiosity I asked, “Mom? what is.. Abortion??” She told my papa she would BRB (be right back) and she went onto a website on abortion. Before she entered the site to show me what abortion was she said, “This will be really bad, it’s not a pretty thing to see. Do you think you can handle it?” I of course answered “yes” and she entered the site. What I saw immediately had me in tears. I saw poor little babies who were cut up into pieces and bleeding to death(so much so that you couldn’t even tell that it had been a baby if there wasn’t hands and feet and a head), and saw nurses wrapping up these poor babies in sheets and disposing of them as if nothing had happened. I was very disgusted and I literally cried for about two hours after that. My mom exited out of the page and continued talking to my papa. She said to him, “Jackie just asked me what abortion is because she saw that we were talking about it, and I pulled up a website on abortion and showed her…she is still in tears from it.”
Really I remember it as if it was yesterday. I can still see the pictures of those poor babies in my head. I can’t believe that a nation that is supposedly under God (as it says in the pledge) can do something so horrible. Ever since the day that I found out what abortion is, I have stood firmly against it and I freely express my views with my friends and family about it.
Even now I am working on showing the kids in my school how horrible abortion is. As I write this I am talking with a friend of mine who is Pro-abortion and I am trying to show her how wrong it is. She says that if she ever gets pregnant she would have no choice but to either get an abortion or be thrown out of her house by her mom. I’m still trying to get across to her the point of saving sex til marriage but she says that it’s too long to wait. And I told her that if she did have sex before marriage and got pregnant, that even if her mom threw her out of the house she can come and live with me. I am trying as hard as I can to save at least one more life from being aborted, and I am praying for God to give me the strength, courage, wisdom, and the right words to say so that I can help make a difference to save a life. I know that if I didn’t have the strength and courage that God has given me, I wouldn’t be bold enough to stand up and against abortion and express that in front of everyone I know.
I am going to be participating in the Cupcakes for Life on Ocotber 9, 2008, and I will also be one of many many people to participate in the Day of Silence on October 21, 2008. I will be giving up my voice for one whole day (including texting, email, chat, Instant messenger, passing notes in school, and talking, etc.) for those who will never have a voice because they were never given the chance of living a life all because of the choice that was made to destroy that precious life. So I want to encourage anyone who reads this to join me and thousands of others in the Cupcakes for life and the Day of Silence. If you would like more information on the Day of Silence go to silentday.com. There are more than 900 schools that participate in the Day of Silence. Make your school another one.
Thank you all for reading my story, and Have a Very Blessed Day!

I am pro-life because I know every child deserves a chance at life. I don’t remember exactly when I learned about abortion and what it is. It seems like I’ve just known what it is ever since I can remember. I read Psalms 139 and really thought about it. It talks all about how God uniquely makes each person, plans out their life, and puts all this work into them. That’s how much special work God puts into each life because he loves us all so much. It breaks my heart when a woman is so selfish and cruel to kill that baby and decides to end a life that God is planning out. I knew abortion is murder and that it ends an innocent life, but I didn’t know how they did it. It is disgusting and cruel. They insert a tool that is like a vacuum cleaner into a woman’s vagina, and suck the baby out or a woman can take a pill and pee the baby out. I know it’s horrible. I know that just because children don’t come along at a certain time, is no reason for them to die. Nobody ever knows what can happen with a child’s life and they deserve a chance to live. The child’s future is in God’s hands. I will be doing the cupcakes for life and maybe through it I can save some lives.

My whole life, I have been raised Pro-Choice. I never really thought about it, I just always thought, abortion is ok who cares what girls do.
Last year i started going to church and becoming a Christian without my family. I go by myself and I am a very active Christian.
Last week I attended Alive Festival in Canal Fulton Ohio. There were alot of stands set up there about Abortion and why it’s bad. I just kept telling myself, ok if you don’t make Eye contact, they will not talk to you. There was one booth that caught my eye. “live offensively.” There was a boy holding up a sign and it said that he would “pray offensively for you” so I went over there and we prayed. I checked out some of their stuff, and there was a little flyer there for Cupcakes for life. I picked it up, read it and immediatley got chills and tried holding back my tears. It completely changed my mind. I never thought of it in that way.
After reading that one flyer, it changed my mind. I am now Pro-Life and I am participating in National Pro-life cupcake day. My mom isn’t thrilled with the idea, but she doesn’t have to be with we. I figure if I can become a christian without her help, I can be pro life without her too.
I maybe can even change her into pro life.
Well thank you Pro life cupcakes. I hope I change minds of people that believe in Abortion

What website did your mother show you? There are no slaughtered babies involved in abortion. Before the time in your term when getting an abortion is illegal, it can’t feel or even think. Pro-choice people don’t wave around flags and encourage every pregnant woman to get an abortion. Being forced to carry a child that you don’t have enough money or emotional strength to care for is worse than somebody forgetting your 9th birthday. Abortion isn’t pleasant, but you should be allowed to choose.

Hey Dylan,
You think that an innocent baby who hasn’t even sinned yet should suffer for the consequences of its mother? If they don’t have enough money or emotional support for the baby DON’T GET PREGNANT. its pretty simple, okay and i know theres rape and sometimes bad things happen, but lots of people are looking to adopt babies, so carry the baby for 9 months, then give it up for adoption. NO BABY SHOULD HAVE TO DIE. Plus, abortion hurts the mother forever. No women will ever get over killing her own child.
For those of you who are pro-lifers, a great website is abort73.com i got some t-shirts from there that are really cool.
One of the ones they have has a gun on it and it says
“would it bother us more if they used guns?”
So thats a really cool website.
Dylan, please think about it.

I really think that now in the media they are tiring to make people believe that abortion is just as harmless as having a wart removed. but it really isn’t…it’s a huge chose someone makes… now most people are brain washed by one sentence blurbs , commercials on the radio, or what they watch on tv…. “its just procedure” …. But it’s really not… if people really saw what that “procedure” is they would be mortified..Not only is a baby a real life being killed but also the mother can be physically and emotionally harmed. I know about someone who need 2 surgeries after an abortion because of an infection and parts of the child were still in her. How awful? She was in such pain ,missed work for months because she was trying to heal for the surgery while she was healing guilt extreme. Now the media makes it sound like ohhh the women need to choose for themselves.. well of course they need to choose… but what about the life inside? Why can’t they adopt to a family who cant have a child…Silenced… that “choice” can’t speak for themselves… abortion can be extremely dangerous

dylan,
dude, babies do get chopped up in abortion. there are so many ways to do it, and to repeat what some others have said, the mother does often get hurt. there is this girl, and her mom tried to have an abortion, but it didnt work. she was then born without an arm. another way that they abort is when the baby is just being born, they turn it around in the birth canal, and when its head is sticking out, but not all the way, they stab its head with scissors. and yes, they can think very early on. they can also feel pain. dude, its no fun being aborted. its not like theyre completely mindless.

im holding back my tears and this song beautiful bird song is playing while im reading your comments. i learned about prolife at the call dc and im sold i cant believe how selfish we are and broken, we need GOD. im fasting for 40 days for God to end abortion and deliver homosexuals from their sins and also for the country in this coming election and i hope you guys do the same its beyond our power but God is bigger than people.

I’m pro-life because my mom got pregnant with me when she was 15 - how old I am now. I appreciate how hard it would be to raise a child when you’re still a child, but honestly adoption is better than abortion. Babies (not a bunch of cells) do have nerve endings, so they can absolutely feel. And, once again, the mothers do get hurt. Often, they cannot have children after having an abortion.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Obviously those of you who are saying carrying the fetus of a man who brutally attacked and violated you to term is “no big deal” have never been raped. What a terrible thing to think, you people give me the fucking shivers.

I was 17 years. I got pregnant ignorantly. I gave him up for adoption at the age of 18. So he could be raised by parents who loved each other & wanted to spend the rest of their lives with each other raise him in a comfortable, warm loving family that was financially stable more than what I could I could give him. We reunited when he was 21 and I was 40. We still keep in touch and were close. I don’t regret any decision. And would do it again. No matter what. I’m blessed to get my son back. My daughter is 21 unmarried with a 15 month old baby girl who is precious and she’s raising her and we both agree that sacrificing 9 months of our lives is well worth saving a child rather than murdering it for our convenvience.

One August night I will never forget changed my life forever. I was 18yrs old. I had been raised in a Christian home. Life was so easy just doing things my way instead of God’s way. I thought I was strong in my faith but I found out I wasn’t that strong.
The staff where I worked was gathering at a local bar in town and most everyone was of drinking age, except me. As volatile as I was back then I jumped at the chance to continue into the adulthood journey and went along with the young crowd of my own age. Someone gave me a drink with juice in it and I enjoyed it on a hot summer night after work. The evening came to an end after conversation and darts so we all began to go our separate ways. When I got outside the bar, the same nice looking young man was waiting for me and requested a ride home. I had just purchased a brand new red sports car so this was an opportunity I welcomed. I only drove a few blocks before we pulled into the driveway of his home. Suddenly, I began to feel dizzy and unable to drive. Being the smart college law student, he invited me in and tried to make me feel better by letting me lye on his sofa of his parents home. He disappeared into another room for a bit, but when he came back he laid on top of me and began to kiss me. I repeated several times, “I have a boyfriend, I have a boyfriend.” It didn’t seem to matter to him at the time. My body began to go limp and the room began to spin. He continued to push his body into mine as he lifted up my skirt. I began trying to push his arms away but wasn’t being very effective. Fear rushed through my body, as I tried to utter the words, “no, stop!” It was as if I wasn’t saying a word. He ignored my words and my body language but continued to press in on me. Minutes is all it took to lose what I was most proud of, my virginity. As soon as I could I got away, ran back to my car and drove back to my apartment, alone. I never did anything about that night. I remember I couldn’t get to the shower fast enough and couldn’t really believe what had just happened to me.
I was scared to tell my parents and scared to reach out for help. A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. By the time my parents found out they were extemely disappointed and felt that I should contact this gentlemen and try for a relationship. After the violent night, I just couldn’t. I felt so alone. My boyfriend’s parents and my parents pushed me towards abortion because they were all too ashamed of what had happened. My mom went with me that day and I cried the entire way through. Although I started living my life differently from that day on, the scar of what I had done has stayed with me all of these years. Because I was wounded it stayed with me causing me to make poor decisions about my future. I married my boyfriend a few years later and we had a daughter. That marriage ended in a divorce. I should have known that his values would be so much different than mine when he encouraged the abortion. Besides my parents, I never even told anyone until years later. It’s been over twenty years and I have found that through my weakness God was made strong in my life. My weakness uncovered my passions as I speak to young girls today who battle with purity. Make the right choice. There are people out there to help you. Abortion never really goes away.

Shondra,
Thanks for sharing your story. It is the one we seldom hear about but so real. Rape is horrific, but as you have shown so clearly by your story the abortion decision does not fix the problem in any way. Thanks for working today to reach young girls with the Truth. We are looking forward to this Sunday, October 4th as well which is the 22nd Annual Life Chain event nationwide. Search Life Chain for more information. Cupcakes for Life October 9th, the same day my daughter has a Pajama Party at school…..could be interesting.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:54 am
I’m sorry you were forced into an abortion, Shondra. It is not fair that your choice was taken from you. Just as it is not fair to take the choice away from women who truly want an abortion. The fact that you talk about living your life differently and the mistakes you made makes me very sad. You didn’t make a mistake by being raped. The rapist did. It wasn’t your fault.
Abortion is a much more complicated issue than it seems people on this site would like to believe. I hope none of you ever desperately need one. Because that will be a hard day for you.
October 15th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I’ve read every comment in this blog. Not one of you have even been through an abortion or know someone who has had one. So you DO NOT have any first hand experience of what really happens during the procedure. All you know is the propaganda coming from the christian churches you all go to and websites like this one. The information you’re given is based on late term abortions almost six months into the pregnancy. Most abortions occur within the first 8 weeks when the fetus is still just a clump of developing cells.
My girlfriend had an abortion because we got pregnant and we weren’t ready to be parents. We looked at the bigger picture and really thought it all out and this was the best decision. In fact, it was more of the decision on my GF’s part than mine.
I went with her to the clinic and was with her all the way through the procedure from start to finish. First of all the so called “baby” when the procedure was done was no larger than a dime (6weeks). It’s not “cut up” into pieces as some of you all say but rather suctioned out completely. Regardless, the actual abortion took less than five minutes and she had pain for less than a minute during the procedure. You have the option to take painkillers, which my GF did, and taken them is recommended for your comfort. It has been almost a year now and she has had no side effects from the abortion, not even any psychological issues. In fact, knowing she was pregnant and not being remotely ready for it was causing her more mental anguish then after having the abortion.
You have the right to believe in what you want to believe, but it becomes and issue when you start telling people what they can and cannot do with their own body and life. It’s even worse when you spread false information, lies, and propaganda for your own selfish means to gain converts.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Funny how you delete the comments that contradict your stance on the issue. Once again, you’re all a bunch of hypocrites. When are you going to wake up to the realities in this world and stop hiding behind the false premise of religion? Stop trying to control people and let them live as they see fit.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Dear Mr. Annonymous have you asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord & Saviour??? Because my friend you sound very angry…
If you were standing on the edge of a 20 story building willing to jump off and end your life…I would do everything in my power to stop you. The same thing goes with a woman considering abortion.
Heaven and Hell are both real…there’s no hiding behind premises of Religion when it comes to trying to save a life.
I’m glad Joe deleted the lies people post because the Truth is what needs to be heard. Jesus Christ is the Truth! John 14:6
Your stance on pro-choice isn’t Biblical, its immoral and wrong.
The funny thing is… I’m not yelling at you yet your yelling at C4L for our stance on Life?
Jeremiah 1:5 says, Before you were in the womb, I knew and approved of you.
Doesn’t get anymore beautiful than that. God took one look at you and said, “I approve!”
Jesus loves you and has a beautiful purpose and plan for your life. Why fight it?

Wow……
Ok…
I don’t know how to respond to any of these. I will say that abortion is wrong, I know it’s wrong because I know someone who’s had more than one abortion. Believe me, it does mess you up. Sometimes mental side effects don’t become apparent for years, and sometimes, many times, women don’t feel like they have a choice.
Support people in your life that have had an abortion, and try to get counciling for them if they need it. If you know someone who’s pregnaunt, support them, don’t judge them.
