There has been a stirring of debate for many years.
1.) Is it a blob of tissue, meaning nothing and in the end a blob of tissue is removed with no resemblance of the human species?
2.) Or is it a human being from conception?
My beliefs, although religious, are directly science backed (mixed with a tad bit of common sense).
My question is, 'if I am dead, deceased, or expired when my heart STOPS beating, then wasn't I alive, anew and a perfect human being when my heart STARTED beating?' Any other way of thinking would mean that all of our lives are futile, meaningless and pointless. A human becomes a human AT conception. If all environments are good and the new human fetus is left to develop for the duration of the time needed, you will have a brand new human baby. A baby with a destination, a future, a soul, and an ability to change the world, to do great things or to be our next great leader? I have a sweet friend that says she never married, she says "I just assume that the love of my life that God had picked for me may have been aborted." That is a chilling thought. Potential people with lives, dreams and goals. Possibly the doctor that God chose to find the cure for cancer, or the cure for multiple sclerosis or how to heal the brain or spinal cord after injury. What have we lost through abortion, or rather who?
All across the country in October we peacefully and prayerfully stand for life, for the chance to have a birthday, for the opportunity to help a young lady that is in a situation that she did not plan to be in. It is called LIFE CHAIN. There is no judgement, no hatred, not condemnation, but in love we appeal to God to help us to help others. Life Chain is not only about pro-life or pro-choice, it is about reaching the woman that chose abortion through tears and secrecy and never dealt with the pain it caused her then and every anniversary of that day. How the young man put on a clean white shirt and walked away or told her to "get rid of it." It is about another young lady in the same situation that knows she can't raise a baby right now but truly loves the life she carries. It is about finding resources and help for the 15 year old that got in over her head but wants to raise her baby, finish school and make a life for both of them. It is about being there for these young ladies, it is about saving babies and about families that are unable to bear children of their own that have cried themselves to sleep many nights praying that they could have a child. It is about fulfilling that desire in an infertile couple by connecting babies with families to love them.
I don't believe that it is a woman's choice to decide life or death. I do believe it is her decision to use birth control if she is not looking to become pregnant. It is a woman's body but it is an entirely different human being with a unique DNA, separate from the maternal host. Life Chain is about so much more.
* It is about the 8 year old boy that stood in 2016 in the Life Chain event with his mother. It is about how afraid he was that someone would hurt him but he prayed, he stood and he quietly sang to himself and the Lord. The following Monday, his teacher instructed the class to write about their weekend. This brave 8 year old wrote about why he stood, because he loves babies, and he wanted to make a difference. Little did he know the impact that he would make on his teacher and many other teachers at that school. You see, they had made a decision to abort long ago and struggled often with that decision, that they would give anything to change. They called this young man's mother and ask her how they would go about privately finding counseling for their grieving hearts.
* It is about the young 20 year old that was over-scheduled with nursing classes and found herself pregnant, and knew she could not focus on a new baby, but wanted to know her options.
* It is about the 33 year old mother of 4 that was violently raped by a stranger and became pregnant. Knowing the love she has for her children, she didn't think she could love this baby the same and chose to have him and place him with a family that could love him like he deserved. He didn't deserve the death sentence because of the sins of his father. He deserved a chance to be loved and cherished and she deserved a chance to heal and move on.
* It's about the 12 year old that was sexually abused by her father and became pregnant. She is more afraid of killing her baby than birth itself. But her greatest fear is her father. It is about making things go in the right direction for her, for once in her life and to give her the life back that she deserves.
* It is even about the 17 year old boy, that truly loved his girlfriend and planned to do right by her when she got pregnant but the girl chose to terminate the pregnancy without his consent. It is about finding someone that he can talk with and grieve, and work through the pain in his heart.
Life Chain is so much more than life or death. It is about love, sharing, caring, helping and encouraging young women. It is about praying with young women making such important decisions.
