Yeah I said it.

So a few of you may be “offended” w/the following opinion of mine, but that really doesn’t bother me too much, in fact it kind of excites me b/c there are few things in my life that I am absolutely certain of, have believed my entire life, and refuse to “back down” about. One is my relationship with Jesus Christ, Who He is, what He’s done for all of us, and the unwavering passion I feel to live for and serve Him. The second is abortion (uh-oh), I am absolutely pro-life and I believe God is as well, I also know all the typical responses to this-“What if a woman is raped?”, “What about incest?”, “What about teenage pregnancy?”, “What if the parents are financially unstable?”, “What if the mother’s life is in danger?”, “What if the baby is going to be born w/major birth defects or a serious illness?”. I’ve heard all of these and they are all serious questions, and I admit there are fine lines when it comes to these issues-cases that I could almost see how you could “have the right” to choose, almost but not quite-I don’t know why God “allows” certain things to occur, such as birth defects or serious illness, but I do know that He is God, not us, He creates life, we don’t. I know many woman who feel that they have a right to decide what they do w/their bodies-well, even as independent as I am-I STILL don’t believe that I have the “right” to destroy something that was created inside me-no I haven’t been raped, and honestly I cannot say how I would feel if I was and became pregnant, but I do know that the life that was created inside me is no mistake (God does not create mistakes), and there are options-adoption-a painful process, but I believe a much safer one than running the risk of never having a child again due to the trauma that takes place in a woman during an abortion. I know a lot about the details of abortion-maybe even too much, but I know every different “type” of procedure, I know that a baby (I refuse to use the word-fetus) literally feels every slice of the knife, burn of saline solution, and jamming of scissors into their skulls, there is even a video out there that shows a baby being aborted and how he/she flinches and opens and closes his/her mouth during it. I know this is hard to digest, but so many people I have talked to have no idea how the abortions are performed, they somehow believe that a “fetus” is a blob of tissue that magically becomes a baby upon leaving the birth canal-they’re wrong (you should check out the “bodies” exhibit if you ever get a chance-that will blow your mind), and you can look up what the baby looks life at every single week of development-it’s amazing-I wonder how people DON’T believe in God after seeing those pictures. This is an issue that is important to me-it’s a part of who I am and what I stand for. I love Jesus and I want to truly represent what I feel He would fight for if He were still walking the earth.

God is somehow involved in every detail of our lives, including our formation. The following verses prove more than anything else that God is deeply and personally concerned for every human life-even before birth.


Exodus 20:13 says, "You shall not commit murder."

Psalm 78:6-7 says, "That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children. That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandments."

Psalm 127:4 says, "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward."

Psalm 139:13-16 says, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know them well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”

Psalm 147:13 says, "For He has strengthened and made hard the bars of your gates, and He has blessed your children within you."

Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Romans 9:11 says, "And the children were yet unborn and had so far done nothing either good or evil. Even so, in order further to carry out God's purpose of selection (election, choice), which depends not on works or what men can do, but on Him Who calls [them]."

Ephesians 1:4-5 says, "Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]."

Hebrews 2:13 says, And again He says, My trust and assured reliance and confident hope shall be fixed in Him. And yet again, Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me."

This blog has been a long time coming-needed to get it off my chest and please don’t think I wrote it b/c of one specific thing anyone has recently said to me, frequently I remain silent when other people voice their opinions on this topic or others that I may disagree with, and frankly I’m just tired of it. I will even be so bold as to say, how dare anyone ever think that God Himself is pro-choice, that literally makes no sense, it goes against everything God Is and stands for, how dare YOU-a simple finite human being have the audacity to think that YOU can choose if another human being will live or die, (and just to be clear, I am speaking about the innocent, the unborn, not in regards to war or self-defense-that’s a separate topic) the fact is every single creation HAS a creator and trust me-we create the “act” to create life but Who creates that life is another story.

Oh yeah, and do I believe in the death penalty? Absolutely. But how can you be against one form of “termination” and not the other? Simple, I don’t compare innocence to guilt-babies have done nothing wrong, nothing to deserve death, no chance to be born into their sin nature, adults have-we all have “free will”, and the adults who receive the death penalty have decided their own fate-most w/unspeakable acts. Do I think God is for the death penalty? I can’t say for sure, but I am.

As for your opinion; looking forward to it.
