My Thoughts On Abortion

We all by now know that abortion is not healthcare. Abortion is the deliberate ending of a human life. Abortion is offered so that women don't have to raise the child they created. For a plethora of reasons the mom doesn't want to have to parent the child.

Maybe she thinks she is too poor. Maybe she thinks she has too many. Maybe she feels she is too young. Maybe she doesn't want to do it as a single parent. Maybe she thinks not raising the child will lessen the trauma of the rape that created the child. Maybe she thinks having the child will kill her. Maybe she isn't ready to face a child with special needs.

Abortion happens so that a child isn't born. That's the truth. When we strip away all the language that providers use: fetal tissue, product of conception (POC), fetus, blob, the euphemisms go on and on. The truth is an abortion is happening so later on a child doesn't show up.

We say it is about the woman's rights. Why should she have to walk around as an incubator for 40 weeks, when she didn't want the child in the first place!?! Why should Mom have to carry the child when she was raped, or even worse, if she is a 12 year old victim of incest? How dare we force her to continue the pregnancy!

Wait 5 years and that victim could be the mom of a beautiful child.

In all the noise of female rights we forget about the other life, or we discard because life isn't valued in our world anymore. There are 8 billion after all, and more created every hour! A few sacrificed on the alter of convenience don't matter!

We say, it doesn't matter because they can't feel a thing! They don't know they are getting killed. Abortion is ok because taken out of the womb at that date they can't survive. Who cares that just mere weeks later the baby could survive with help (just as all children need, just as you and I needed as infants).

This is my soapbox.

If you've had one, I still love you. I'm not here to judge your past choices, just as I don't want to be judged on mine. Just know that I will fight to protect the life of all littles. I will fight for senior rights. For churches to serve the poor, the needy. To remember widows and orphans.

A Daddy

Last night as we were praying my Snowflake asked, "Jesus bring me a daddy please?" It is a prayer I have heard often and one that makes me want to weep. She knows and will tell people that God is her Abba, her Father, but my sweet girl longs for a daddy.  She has a great Papa (my Dad) and an adopted Grandpa Gary. There are great male role models in her life, but she wants a dad. That is something I haven't been able to provide for her.  I was almost engaged earlier but I realized that I was doing it for the wrong reasons and with the wrong man. She will only get her deepest prayer if it is for the right reasons: 1. He loves Jesus 2. He loves me and Snowflake 3. God gives me peace.  With everything we have been through I have to approach this with my eyes wide open. I want to find my mate.  I loved being married. Marriage is a great institution, but I will be careful and my husband will be a man of God.  It will be a good union.  So, Snowflake will h...

Worth the Money

Yesterday I had a headache.  The type of headache you should not ignore.  Well ignore it I did.  One thing Ms. RA has taught me is to live life through the pain.  I ignored the pain in order to go with my Mom to see The Greatest Showman. The music was incredible.  The acting drew you in.  The story was one of hope and perseverance.  You don't give up on your dreams, you work to turn them into reality and in so doing you can influence others. I enjoyed the show immensely.  It was worth the price of admission and the migraine I left with.  I would not say that about many movies.  While this will be fun to watch on tv in years to come it was worth it to see it on the big screen for the first time. That was my yesterday.  Earlier in the week my Snowflake celebrated her 6th birthday. Boy does time fly.  My daughter is 6! Halfway through Kindergarten. She is independent, sassy, sweet, smart, silly, fun & caring. Her reque...

My Heart Walked Down the Sidewalk

I didn't snap a photo.  Which is abnormal for me.  I take 8 gazillion photos because 5 concussions leaves marks.  They have affected my memory. I have memories but I have blank areas too. Things that normal people remember but I don't.  I use pictures too help. Today I walked with Snowflake to school.  At the edge of the neighborhood/ start of the school property I let her walk on by herself as I watched. She looked so small yet so confident walking to the playground.  My little girl, walking to school.  Growing up.  It wasn't just any kid walking on that sidewalk, it was my heart. Today it struck me just how quickly she is growing up now that she is in school. Things are changing.  It is good and it is natural.  I want her to be strong and independent. I want her to have confidence. I want her to enjoy this phase of life. Yet, that is my baby. I know her fears and worries. I know what bothers her.  I know what is behind the...
