"I want to live!"


“The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion.” ~ Blessed Mother Teresa

I have some friends who seem to value and enjoy loving people, anyone, “everyone”, regardless of differences.  And yet, they are “pro-choice” and support the pro-abortion agenda.  I can’t help but think that if these friends could meet the babies in their mothers’ wombs who are about to be aborted (for these are also part of that supposed “everyone”), and these babies could share their hearts with them, my friends might realize the love they have to share MUST include loving and protecting these little ones.

Even though these babies in the womb can’t speak with audible words, they can even-so share their hearts.  Their tiny little hearts are beating, pumping blood through their developing bodies, showing in a very tangible way their 100 % desire to live! 

When a baby is aborted, it is sometimes burned (with chemicals) to death.  Sometimes the baby is pulled apart in the womb, limb by limb; the abortionist pulls off the baby’s legs, the baby’s hands, the baby’s head…  Abortion is not the removal of mindless, heartless tissue; abortion is the mutilation and killing of a baby, a human-being. 

93% of all abortions occur for social reasons .  http://abortionno.org/index.php/abortion_facts/
Is this loving everyone?  http://www.abortionno.org/  Be forewarned: the video on the homepage of this site shows what abortion really is with live footage of an abortion.  Don’t watch it if you aren’t prepared to face the truth.  There are also beautiful videos of a developing baby in the womb showing the development of various organs.  These babies have minds, hearts, feelings; most of all they wish to live.

"The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing - direct murder by the mother herself. And we read in the Scripture, for God says very clearly: Even if a mother could forget her child - I will not forget you - I have carved you in the palm of my hand. We are carved in the palm of His hand, so close to Him that unborn child has been carved in the hand of God. And that is what strikes me most, the beginning of that sentence, that even if a mother could forget something impossible - but even if she could forget - I will not forget you. And today the greatest means - the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here - our parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us. Our children, we want them, we love them, but what of the millions. Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me - there is nothing between. And this I appeal in India, I appeal everywhere: Let us bring the child back, and this year being the child's year: What have we done for the child?"  ~ Blessed Mother Teresa (from her Nobel Peace Prize lecture)
