Mother Theresa, was a petite figure, a person of small stature, but many knew of her large and powerful influence, her large and powerfull love. While doing some background research for this blog entry, I was newly touched by the profundity of her words, expressing such compassion, wisdom and courage. At a National Prayer Breakfast, standing in front of a large crowd of attendees as well as President Clinton, Vice President Gore and their spouses. At this venue, Mother Theresa did a "small thing, with great love", and delivered the following. I repeat it here with the hope you will find hope and inspiration in her words. Thank you for reading this.

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters"
And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." (Mother Theresa -- "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14)

Giving him the best chance possible - Baby Joseph ...

Baby Joseph is still here!

 When the baby has a face and it breathes and it is HERE - it is HARDER for pro-aborts to fight against him. I find that when there is a personalization of a LIFE it is most difficult to say - that person/baby doesn't deserve to live or even the chance of living longer ... just b'c it's inconvenient or expensive to those who DON'T know them ....

40 Days for Life People Harassed in Everett, WA

I suppose all I could encourage these people with is that they suffered a small amount of what a baby in the womb and the mother suffers in the abortion process.

I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

A baby in one hand

I don't know the reason for this blogger posting this pix - but I find it very interesting that her son would have a plastic fetus (baby) in his hand ... he asked her to GUESS what was in his hand.

Abortion Centers Closing, Cutting Back as 40 Days for Life Begins in 247 Cities

Abortion Centers Closing, Cutting Back as 40 Days for Life Begins in 247 Cities
Contact: Amber Dolle, 40 Days for Life, 325-513-5857

MEDIA ADVISORY, March 8, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- "Recent abortion center closings have added momentum to the kickoff of the largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history -- which launches tomorrow in 247 cities across the United States and eight other countries," said Shawn Carney, campaign director of 40 Days for Life.

40 Days for Life, a 40-day campaign of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil and community outreach, launches tomorrow at 247 locations in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Spain, Belize, Armenia and Georgia. This represents a 47% increase in the number of locations over last spring. The campaign will run through April 17.

"We know of nine abortion facilities where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils have been conducted that are now closed," said Carney, "and following other peaceful vigils, more abortion centers may soon be added to that list."

Just last week, Golden Gate Community Health, a collection of abortion facilities in the San Francisco Bay area that was once part of the Planned Parenthood network, announced it was shutting down -- at least temporarily, and possibly forever. That chain includes abortion centers in San Francisco and San Mateo where 40 Days for Life campaigns have been held, as well as three other locations.

In Columbia, Missouri, several peaceful 40 Days for Life vigils have been held outside a Planned Parenthood abortion center. Another prayer campaign is starting this week. Because of staffing issues, this location was unable to offer abortions for several months last year. Abortions resumed on an every-other-week basis in the fall, but now sources in Columbia say no abortions have taken place there since January 26.

"Abortions are only available right now at one place in the entire state of Missouri -- Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, where another 40 Days for Life vigil begins tomorrow," Carney said.

Since 40 Days for Life began as a national -- and then international -- effort in 2007, more than 400,000 people have participated and confirmed reports have documented that 3,599 babies have been saved from abortion. "When people respond to abortion as a local problem," said Carney, "they see the local results of a peaceful vigil: lives saved, hearts changed -- and abortion centers closed."

The list of participating communities is posted online at: www.40daysforlife.com/location.cfm.

Facebook Page and the effects of an abortion!

Just found this Facebook page built around this quote from President Ronald Reagan. I think it yet another good page to hold discussion about abortion.

I had recently been thinking about an article I read, supposedly written by a doctor, that "women do not suffer an adverse emotional effects, after having an abortion".

What audacious arrogance! I wonder who paid them to crank out that 'opinion'? A little child can refute that statement! It's the little child, with his hand in a forbidden cookie jar, that experiences an immediate emotion, and some immediate disciplinary action for it.

People who don't experience negative emotions from doing immoral actions, do exist I know, but this group of people are also known as sociopaths and psychopaths. In some circles also known as hardhearted.

How many Nazi Germans, could conduct experiments on human children, tell people walk to the their death into a gas chamber, and do so much with no remorse, or pricking of conscience?

I hate to think about the generation upon generation of people who buy a lie for convenience sake, get themselves convinced of it, then commit a crime. To tell other people, or to tell yourself, 'there are no emotional repercussions to having an abortion', is an all out lie. Lie. Lie. Lie!

It's a fundamental principle of humanity that there are consequences for all actions. Suffering shame, guilt, remorse, regret for having an abortion is the norm! This is from a woman who has been there!

Having suffered for years, along with severe bouts of depression, I sought earnestly an escape, a remedy, a cure for the common emotion.
I didn't realize how the 'cure' was seeking me.

I went for 5 years to a counselor, who in the end decided to retire because, she felt in all that time I had not progressed through any of my problems, she was actually going to leave for India to seek some higher spiritual resources for her practice.

Great.
