Saline, crying and new beginnings......

This is Corban's artwork from a month or so ago:)

I hardly know where to begin. One of the strangest things that has come upon Jess and me, is the desire to do something to help others. In a society that is increasingly bent on pleasing the individual, we are wondering just how much the individual is truly being valued in light of an overwhelming onslaught of hidden agendas. Today, we heard on the radio that it is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Also, an executive order was signed to undo what President George W. Bush did in halting the funding of abortions to foreign nations.

As you can imagine, this hit home for Jessica and me. Our economy is shot and we have alot on our plate as a nation and "we" are worrying about funding abortions to other nations. To me, and I do get excited, it is like not only saying okay but encouraging genocide through infantile homicide(infanticide). Now, whatever you take is on abortion, please don't stop reading this yet.

What is more disturbing than anything about abortion to us.......is the women that have them. Most often they are young, scared, and hardly have anyone to talk to. They feel like their is no way out of a situation they find themselves in. We have all found ourselves in a situation, whether the circumstances be the same or not, that we need rescuing from-one that without a help we will likely perish. This may be spiritual or physical.

As I read the link attached, I read about a woman who had saline solution placed in her womb to "rid" her of her situation. Let me tell you how I see this. A woman goes in, scared, feeling like a failure, LONELY. She is told that what she is doing is right and best for her. She is given the saline solution. Later that day, the doctor leaves, more than likely a man. He has a nurse on staff. This poor girl goes and wakes the nurse to ask her question and she is basically "shhhh'd" to go back and go through delivery herself, alone. What she expects is tissue, what she finds she has done is delivered a baby. Now, if they couldn't be there for her during the abortion, who the heck is going to be there with her afterwards? Emotionally? Physically?

What I find so appauling is not necessarily the abortion themselves. You know my value for life. But what about the life left behind? Who cares for these ladies? Who do they talk to when they come to the realization that it was, in fact, truly a child-- a child that would want to be tucked in to bed and be read bedtime stories, a child that would fall and scrape his/her knees and need a simple kiss to fix it.

I have done more research into this person in particular. She is AMAZING. One of her saying is, "If abortion is about womens right, then what were mine?". Pretty impressive, huh? What is also amazing is the fact that when she finally meets her birth mother, she forgives her and thanks her. She is appreciative for her dissability. What does she get from her mother.......very little. Why? Because she knows what she did was wrong. But, she is hurting. She went in expecting release and what she found was bondage.

This blog is not intended to condemn, throw blame at, or hurt anyone. It is intended to recognize the right that all mothers are special. They deserve the right to carry, deliver and nurture their children. If it is beyond their means, they deserve the right to find that child a home that will bless them. The Word says, "Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them....(children-sons in this particular passage)" Psalm 127:5

If you have had an abortion and would like to share your story, please feel free to share it with me or Jessica. We would love to hear your story, listen to your pain, and pray with you. The amazing thing about our Saviour, is that He came to "bind up the broken hearted". He loves you just the same as He did before you lost your child. There is no condemnation in Him unless you reject Him. Salvation and forgiveness, for that matter, are gifts. Gifts are meant to be accepted.

This is the link for the story of Gianna Jessen: http://joseromia.tripod.com/gianna.html

If you have the opportunity, go to http://www.youtube.com/ and search her name. It is amazing to see how she is using the life that God spared and also to see the disdain with which she is treated by the media, in some situations.
