a common housewife in the fast lane
Tuesday February 20, 2007
Please.............I beg you............
If you are pregnant and alone and you don't know what to do................
PLEASE...........read my articles and decide for yourself if you think what is growing inside of you is real or not. If you agree, as I do, that what is in you is real and alive and meant for life, then PLEASE find a pro-life relative or friend to help you, or go to your nearest Crisis Pregnancy Center (NOT Planned Parenthood or an abortion clinic)............
if you still have no one to turn to........................
PLEASE...............PM me. I will help you. I promise I will. I will help you find the help you need in the city you are in. You are NOT alone. There are many people like me who would be willing to find the resources for you that you need to bring this baby to term. It makes no difference whether you want to keep the baby or let him/her go for adoption. Just please save the life of your child.
Nine months isn't that long. I promise that it isn't. It's short enough not to live with regret for the rest of your life.

God has much to say about abortion. I would have put His Words first,
as in everything that I choose to believe I give Him deference and
first place. Yet, I put man’s words first in Part 3 because I know that
many people will see God’s Word and automatically reject it out of
hand. I wanted to make the point first and foremost that man’s word
changes…it is a shifting sand of ‘opinion’ and it moves as the dunes
move on the beach.
I visited my parents for many years after
they moved to Florida. We took many long walks on the beach and
collected sharks teeth, which were plentiful as the area was undergoing
a coastal renourishment project because the sand of the beach was
slowly eroding away. Each day, as sand was pumped up from the bottom of
the ocean in big pipes to build up the beach that was washing away, the
beach had a different specter to it. One day a dune would be visible
and the next it would be washed away or shifted.
The verses from
Matthew 7:24-27, the section about building one’s house on the rock,
not on the sand, became very real to me. Anyone living on the coast of
Florida or Louisiana would agree that there are inherent risks that one
takes to live where they do.
Politics, and the arena of public
opinion, is also a beach of very shifting sand. One day, one year, one
decade, makes so much difference in what people think, say, and do.
Laws erode and change meaning, amendments are added, judges define and
redefine rulings and make new precedents almost daily. Where does it
end?
I watched an interesting interview with former Supreme
Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor last night. I’ve never seen her so
open and forthright. She claimed that much of the rulings that come
down from the Supreme Court must be based, not on personal opinion, but
on former precedents. As a supposed ‘conservative judge’ appointed by
Ronald Reagan she actually was considered ‘liberal’ by many true
conservatives and was labeled ‘the swing vote’ by many in politics. She
never became the catalyst to remove the laws from the books as some had
hoped.
On the other hand, God’s Word is eternal. Jesus Christ is
the only One Who is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews
13:8). His Word does not shift with the changing political climate but
is a solid Rock that we can stand on, even when our futile minds are
confused and uncertain. Even when voices are raised in cacophonous
chaos we have only to wrap ourselves in the Word and breathe in the
aroma of His love and life. Life, abundant life!
Anyone who
makes a careful reading of Psalm 139 cannot dismiss how God feels about
the unborn. It is a classic verse that let’s us know the mind of Christ:
”Oh
Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and
my rising up. You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my
path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there
is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me: it is high, I cannot attain it.
Where
can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I
ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold,
You are there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the
uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and
Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall
fall on me, even the night shall be light about me; indeed, the
darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the
darkness and the light are both alike to You.
For You formed my
inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and
that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I
was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the
earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in Your book
they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there
were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be
more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.”
See
how this last paragraph just rings with God's knowledge of us while we
are yet in the hidden place? There is nowhere we can go where He is
not, even the matrix of our mother! Praise God!
Psalm 22:9,10
“But
You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My
mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from birth, from my mother’s womb
You have been My God.”
Job 31:15
“Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?”
Ps. 100:3
“Know
that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we
ourselves; we are the sheep of His pasture and the sheep of His pasture.
Isaiah 44:2
“Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb…”
Isaiah 49:5
“And now the Lord says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant….”
Jeremiah 1:4,5
“Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you….”
These
verses make it very clear that God considers life to start from
conception. Just this last verse alone says that God knew Jeremiah
BEFORE he was formed in the womb which meant that He has foreknowledge
of our existence before the conception. It also states that HE formed
Jeremiah in the womb and that He did not consider him a ‘blood clot’.
Now,
if one freely admits that they do not care what God thinks, then one
should at least be honest and admit that they are an atheist. If one
claims to care what the God of the Bible thinks, then one must take His
Word on this matter.
It is my contention from this post and the
previous one, that any truly thinking person will not close their mind
on this subject. Like LookingforLucy mentioned from a previous post,
once doctors were able to use ultrasounds to view the development of
the baby in the womb, it has become even more evident that a baby is a
baby and not a garden snake or a blood clot even from it’s earliest
stages.

This is the story of a girl who does not take her life for granted. She treasures it.
My name is Gianna Jessen…I was aborted, and I did not die. My biological mother was 7 months pregnant when she went to Planned Parenthood in southern California, and they advised her to have a late-term saline abortion.
A saline abortion is a solution of salt saline that is injected into the mother's womb. The baby then gulps the solution. It burns the baby inside and out, and then the mother is to deliver a dead baby within 24 hours.
This happened to me! I remained in the solution for approximately 18 hours and was delivered ALIVE…in a California abortion clinic. There were young women in the room who had already been given their injections and were waiting to deliver dead babies. When they saw me the abortionist was not yet on duty and had me transferred to the hospital.
…I should be blind, burned…I should be dead! And yet, I live! Due to a lack of oxygen supply during the abortion I live with cerebral palsy.
When I was diagnosed with this, all I could do was lie there. They said that was all I would ever do! Through prayer and hard work by my foster mother, I was walking at age 3 ½ with the help of a walker and leg braces. At that time I was also adopted into a wonderful family. Today I am left only with a slight limp. I no longer have need of a walker or leg braces.
…Death did not prevail over me…and I am so thankful!

We are afraid to face it.
We have been brainwashed with the idea of tolerance.
Americans
tolerated slavery.
Were they right to do so?
Germans tolerated killing
Jewish people.
Were they right to do so?
We who believe in human rights
need to wake up in mass and speak up soon or it may be too late!

"How prophetic were Rev. Jackson's statements to our current state of
open culture warfare.
I like that you've researched the thoughts of
Women's Movement pioneers on this subject.
The 1960's twist, or tangent
to that Movement, to which I attribute the cause of all kinds of
mischief from this holocaust of the unborn to less devastating but
equally bizarre practices, was the result of resentment
- that very
same devil who, combined with fear, is the cause of all human misery
and injustice.
It is the case of a minority successfully obscuring the
issue, finding a right to privacy in our constitution which it does not
contain without a perverse interpretation,
and then allowing
compassionate human nature which abhors the very sight of atrocity to
itself nullify opposition.
Indeed, the continuation of abortion is the
fault of that majority -
that means us -
who have decided it is too
ghastly to examine,
so we have allowed specious arguments about rights
and freedom of choice,
which really have nothing to do with it, to
gloss over the reality of what is happening daily to children.
No
daughter of Eve has ever given birth to a bouncing baby puppy,
and so
the tiny collection of cells within her body, if left undisturbed, will
always result in another human life.
And this causes me to wonder -
even amongst those who doubt such life may be said to begin at
conception, how is it that on the mere possibility that it may be so is
not the benefit of that doubt given at every turn to the innocent
unborn?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today’s
feminists are under the delusion that they are the TRUE feminists. I
beg to differ with them. Maybe the baby boomer feminist knows the
difference, but our young women, who take such hard line positions on
the so-called liberal feminism of the day, are sadly uninformed and
misguided.
Our illustrious mothers of the Women’s Movement in
modern society, going back as far as the mid-1800’s have opposed
abortion, not supported it. It was only in the 1960’s that this was
twisted and turned into something that it was never meant to be. I do
not believe that the women who fought so hard for women’s equality in
the legalities of marriage and family, in the voting booth, and in the
workplace (equal pay for equal work) ever intended for the abortion
question to become part of the mix. In their day women were
historically considered ‘property’ of either their fathers or husbands
which is where the tradition of the father ‘giving away’ the daughter
in marriage comes from, and this is what they were fighting against.
Let’s go back to what the women who were the foundation of feminism thought about abortion:
“Every woman knows if she were free, she would never bear an unwished for child, nor think of murdering one before it’s birth.”
Victoria
Woodhull—first female Presidential candidate who ran under the banner
of the Equal Rights Party 1872 Wheeling, West Va. Evening Standard
11/17/1875
“When we consider that women are treated as property,
it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property
to be disposed of as we see fit”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in a letter to Julia Ward Howe 10/16/1873 as recorded in Howe’s diary at Harvard University Library
“Abortion is infanticide”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in The Revolution, 1(5):1 2/5/1868
“There must be a remedy even for such a crying evil as this.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in The Revolution, 1(10):146-7 3/12/1868
“We
are aware that many women attempt to excuse themselves for procuring
abortions upon the ground that it is not murder. But the fact to resort
to so weak an argument only shows the more palpably that they fully
realize the enormity of the crime. Is it not equally destroying the
would be future oak to crush the sprout before it pushes it’s head
above the sod, as to cut down the sapling or cut down the tree? Is it
not equally to destroy life, to crush it in the very germ and to take
it when the germ has evolved to any given point in it’s line of
development?”
Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin’s Weekly 6/20/1874
“Guilty?
Yes. No matter the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from
suffering the unborn innocent the woman is awfully guilty who commits
the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her
soul in death, but, oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the
desperation which impelled her to the crime!”
Susan B. Anthony/ widely considered the Mother of the Women’s Liberation Movement
As
late as the early 1970’s some of our most well-known liberal
politicians and spokesmen were spouting anti-abortion sentiments. I
have repeated these quotes loudly and often on the blogstream but I
repeat them for those who may have missed them:
“While the deep
concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and
sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion
on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization
places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life,
even at it’s earliest stages, has certain rights which must be
recognized, the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow
old. I share the confidence of those who feel that America is working
to care for it’s unwanted as well as wanted children, protecting
particularly those who cannot protect themselves. I also share the
opinion of those who do not accept abortion as a response to our
society’s problems—an inadequate welfare system, unsatisfactory job
training programs, and insufficient financial support for all it’s
citizens. When history looks back to this era it should recognize this
generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the
practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family and to
fulfill it’s responsibility to it’s children from the very moment of
conception”
Senator Edward Kennedy 8/3/1971
“There are
those who argue that the right to privacy is of a higher order than the
right to life. That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest
the existence of treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was
private and therefore outside your right to be concerned. What happens
to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts
the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What
kind of person and what kind of society will we have twenty years from
hence if life can be taken so casually? It is that question, the
question of our attitude, our value system, and our mindset with regard
to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question.”
Rev. Jesse Jackson January 1971
“I
am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We
should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people
believe abortion is wrong”
Former President Bill Clinton when he was Gov. of Arkansas Sept. 26, 1986
When
abortion is looked at, seriously studied, with an open mind and an even
more open heart, one MUST come to the conclusion that not only does GOD
consider it murder, but even the most undiscerning person would have
this opinion too. How can a doctor, the one who is daily pulling little
feet and hands out of a womans body, many times burned beyond
recognition but with form and substance still visable, deny what is
right before him? Many doctors and nurses who formerly were involved in
the process have spoken out and told of their experiences. That is
another post.....but believe me that WILL be another post.

My mother's choice was my death sentence. My mother, Betty, had an abortion…A few weeks after that she was sitting at home reading when the book on her stomach began to bounce up and down. That's when she knew she was still pregnant…with ME!
"I'm so sorry, Betty," the doctor told her when she went back to him, "You were carrying twins."
Although a second abortion was suggested, my mother refused and instead brought me to term. I was born with bilateral congenital dislocated hips, a condition for which I've had dozens of operations. It hasn't stopped me from pursuing my medical studies, though, or from speaking out whenever I can for the right to life.
…I have forgiven my parents for trying to abort me, and I forgive the abortionist who killed my twin brother and who almost killed me. I often think of my brother, Andrew James, whom nobody can replace.
I believe that the way of truth, love, and God's grace is the only way to deal with the abortion tragedy. I would like to call all people to stand with me to defend the right to life of all persons. There are many alternatives to abortion. Nobody needs to sacrifice her child, no matter what anyone says. | | | |
