Be the change

Don’t like the way things are? Change them.

Do you want non-doctors performing abortions in our state? Heck no! AB 154 is an abortion expansion bill and will be voted on by the Assembly Committee on Health, Tuesday TOMORROW. It would expand abortion allowing nurses and midwives to perform this procedure. Voice your opinion NOW by calling the assemblymembers below (it doesn’t take long, I took 17 minutes to call them all).

This bill is not safe for women’s health. Californians deserve better.

Please contact the committee members listed below and urge them to vote “NO” on AB 154. Share this and get the word out!

My Mother was Aborted: Huh?

April 2, 2013June 26, 2014 ~ Laura ~ Leave a comment

You might have already seen this article circulating across the internet. If not, go read it. It’s about a new “breakthrough” ability of science: the ability to take eggs from aborted girls to be used in IVF procedures.

This makes me so sick. We now have the ability to kill an unwanted child and use her remains to create a wanted child. Hello? Where did scientists sanity go?!?! I can’t even imagine the emotional and mental trauma a child created through one of these procedures would experience after realizing they were the biological child of an aborted woman…

Thankfully, this article said that the general reaction was negative. What is it going to take for people to stand up and say ENOUGH? The time is now people. Spread the word and start speaking out about this garbage.

Thank You.

Every time I hear about someone who follows my blog, I am blown away at what this has turned into. I’ve only been active in the pro-life movement for about a year and a half, but it already feels like forever. In that short time, so much had happened: jobs, blogging, and so much more. Just a couple years ago, I could never have imagined anything like this happening. For goodness sakes, five years ago I wanted to be a Broadway star. God sure had other plans 🙂

A funny thing about being in the pro-life movement in that you never, ever, know how many lives you have saved or touched. Whether you’re a faithful prayer warrior outside a clinic, a volunteer at a pro-life organization, or a leader of a big organization, you’ll never know. I can look at all the statistics from my blog, but I’ll never really know how many people read what I write. You guys inspire me every day to keep working harder in the pro-life movement.

I’ll never really know the impact of what trying to do God’s will has, but what I’ve already heard awes me. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being you.

March for Life News Coverage

January 25, 2013June 26, 2014 ~ Laura ~ 1 Comment

Today it is estimated that well over half a million people gathered in Washington D.C. at the annual March for Life. In the snowy 20 degree weather, pro-lifers marched through terrible weather conditions showing the world the power of truth. I was one of them. It was my first time attending the March for Life in D.C. and it was an awesome experience. I could not even estimate the massive number of people because they just kept coming. It was so cool!

Throughout the day, I saw very few protesters (aka abortion supporters). As we came out of mass before the March, one man chanted “women’s rights”. As we marched, there were two people with a sign about communion who weren’t really doing much. Outside the supreme court there were maybe 10 people holding “abortion on demand & without apology” posters. I didn’t see any other protesters which was a huge difference from my experience at the Walk for Life last year.

Another huge difference was the weather. It was around 20 degrees in D.C. today and it snowed as we marched. The snow was rather beautiful, but it was otherwise a pitiful and gloomy day. Good thing we were there to light up the city!

Usually the media ignores pro-lifers (unless they find the occasional violent one), but I am pleased to find that this year there are several somewhat-fair articles out. Here’s a round-up of the news stories and pictures I’ve found:
