...smile: your mother chose life...

"I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is “Abortion”, because it is a war against the child… A direct killing of the innocent child, “Murder” by the mother herself… And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love… And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts…" – Mother Teresa


"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion is already born.”  -Ronald Reagan, and he goes on to say:

"Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
"Each child is sent into this world by God with a "Unique Message" to deliver, a new personal act of love to bestow"...- John Powell, S.J. , Professor of Theology
Science is helping the cause.. it is getting harder and harder to pretend that there is no real human life , that what we are dealing with is just a blob of tissue... with tiny little video cameras and 3D ultrasounds we have seen a few week old fetuses and we cannot allow the fact that people are not well educated about those things guide their decisions..
someone said instead of trying to convince "Pro- Choice" people we need to share our knowledge with whoever is willing to listen...
this is what is going to make the difference.. and this is what the work at the center is going to be... educating women, allowing them to make a decision based on facts and not on slogans and lies... born not from fear and confusion but rooted in knowledge and truth..
I have been open about the fact that I too had an abortion, my passion to try to educate and pray and support women is born from a deep compassion and understanding.. if anything, I can relate and empathize with what they are feeling... this is why I want to be there for them, this is why we have been training up the volunteers... so that they too can be a fountain of understanding, love and compassion, free from any judgemental feelings, just filled with love for the women...
heard that we will have at least two if not more girls at our door as soon as we open... a great number of girls that just had babies around as well, maybe a Teen moms group is in our near future... as I was driving to the office this morning I thought about how I had been wondering if my typical North American little suburban town would need a place like this.... I guess God knew.. duh... He knows everything...
