I have been pro-life for several years. Years ago, when my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child, it became personal to me. During those first weeks I became familiar with the swirling emotions a new mother experiences - both positive and negative.

I alternated between extreme happiness and absolute terror for what the future held. After one of my early doctor visits I marveled at the fact that I didn’t “feel” pregnant. I imagined how a woman who has no partner and doesn´t want to be pregnant might feel at this stage in her life. Abortion could be an option if she´s scared and confused.

I used to believe abortion was wrong for me, but that I could never tell someone else what to do with her body. I was deadly wrong, and regret that opinion. Now I have two amazing children and am reminded daily of how real and beautiful life is.

Stop abortion:

We need to change legislation within our communities.

We need to provide loving support to the scared mothers and families of unborn children. I can´t stress support of the woman enough - to stop abortion, you must first care for women.

We need to inform the public that life beginning at conception is not only a religious conviction, but proven scientific fact.

We need to find creative ways to legislate abortion clinics out of their money. Without profit, there is no abortion.

Let’s all work together to save the lives of future generations.

As a very important side note, I do not endorse violence to oppose abortion. This work needs to be done peacefully, with love.
