"Life is for Everyone!"

Look at those tiny little feet! These are the feet of an unborn baby at 10 weeks old. Already at 22 days the baby's heart is beating and is pumping his or her own blood. At 3 weeks the child has begun developing a nervous system and the liver, kidneys, and intestines begin to form. Soon - two weeks later, in fact - the baby's eyes, legs, and hands begin to develop.

This is the so-called "blob of tissue" that daily is put to death through abortion.
Thursday I took part in the March for Life infront of the Legislative buildings in Regina, Saskatchewan, not in violent protest against abortion but in love and mourning for the many unborn whose lives have been brutally taken away.

As four brave women demonstrated yesterday by their "I regret my abortion" signs, abortion not only kills the child: it hurts the mother!
Does telling a woman to get an abortion really help her? Does it really make her life easier?
Mothers who go through an abortion suffer from physical and emotional trauma, denial of their action caused by guilt, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, insomnia, drug and alcohol abuse, nightmares, and many other sufferings. This is an injustice to the mother and to the life of an innocent child.

Sadly, there are a lot of people who claim to be pro-life, but are afraid to do anything. They seem ashamed to help those in need: "we go to hockey and football games and yell our lungs out at the teams, but when it comes to the abortion issue we are silent, too ashamed to tell people of the injustice that is going on."
I like what one of the speakers said yesterday: "If I were to drink a glass of water which I didn't know what poisoned, but you knew and kept silent - if I drank it and died, would you be responsible for my death? You would be, because you agreed to not say anything, thus allowing me to die." And what about that movie, Horton Hears a Hoo? In the end, the tiny world of Hooville is shouting at the top of their lungs to avoid being destroyed, except for the mayor's son who cannot be found. When the mayor finally finds his son he tells him, "don't you know that it could be your one voice that will make a difference?" The son listens to his father, and decides to help - and it was because of his voice added to the noise of Hooville that that little world was saved. The same goes for Abortion! It could be YOUR one voice which the government and doctors will finally listen to!

I know my ideas and thoughts are all jumbled all over the place...I don't want this to be too long. I just want to inform you all about this and my reasons for openly being pro-life. And cliche as this might sound, everybody has a right to life, whether they are big or small, black or white, unborn or a hundred years old.

"Life is For Everyone!

Life is a precious gift from Almighty God, and as such it deserves our utmost love and respect. The life that begins at conception will someday die; however, the Spirit that life is endowed with will live forever and ever.

From the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, the human being is at all times a human person. Personhood is not derived from man-made law and cannot be awarded, diminished, withdrawn from any human being by an Act of Parliament or any judicial action."
