I am the “product” of an unwanted pregnancy. I am also an adopted
daughter, the mother of six girls, and grandmother of six little
granddaughters.
For most American teenage girls, an unwanted
pregnancy would be the first real adult crisis they have to face. It
makes me furious that there is an entire industry waiting to pounce on
these girls in their most vulnerable time. Under the best of
circumstances full grown women have a hard time making simple decisions
in their first trimester, let alone a pregnant teen in a crisis. The
reality is that a girl of 15 years of age can’t possibly understand how
this decision will affect her when she is 30. That is a lifetime away
to her. Conventional liberal wisdom says it would be better would send her to someone with something to sell her for guidance.
Proponents
of abortion hide behind the smoke screen that the baby could have been
conceived in a sexually abusive or incestuous relationship. In that
case, the parents should be notified and arrests should be made.
Crimes
aside, in the real world where most of us are trying to raise our
families, we understand that teenagers (especially adolescent girls)
are notorious for underestimating the love and understanding of their
parents.
It is the average girl who loves her family that is
most likely to be misguided by “counselors” promising to keep her
secret and make it all go away. And she won’t have to disappoint her
parents—sounds like an easy answer to a complicated problem.
I
remember sitting in my high school classroom, when a woman from Planned
Parenthood came to talk to us. She assured us that our parents would
not have to know, and that an abortion is as simple as "picking a
flower."
Tell that to Angele, who aborted her baby boy,
Rowan, on April 2, 2005. Angele wrote to Jill Stanek, a pro-life nurse
and told her that she had delivered her almost 23-week-old baby in an
abortion mill bathroom.
The grave reality of the situation
struck her when she saw her baby move--in the bottom of the toilet. She
said everything she feared up to that moment melted in the face of her
dying baby. Angele begged for help, the abortion nurse only shut the
bathroom door on her and left her alone with her dying newborn.
She
frantically called her friend, who in turn called 911. Angele did what
any mother would do, all she could do. She cradled her baby and sang to
him.
He turned his head to his mother’s voice, and with his hand clasped around his mother’s finger—he died in her arms.
How many young mothers share Angele’s story, but are too devastated to talk about it?
I
see the abortion industry as nothing more than a bunch of vultures,
claiming to be angels, waiting to swoop down on the wounded and devour
the helpless.
Are you pro-choice? Behind the high sounding
political spin there is a stark reality that too many mothers realize
too late. That in fact there are only two choices—to deliver a live
baby, or deliver a dead baby.
Today we politicize life and
death. President Obama has stated that if one of his girls made a
mistake, he wouldn’t want her “punished” with a child.
Let’s
take the polish off the fine words. If his daughter made a mistake, he
would pay to have his own granddaughter put to death before she took
her first breath.
Call me what you want. I make no apologies;
I am a Conservative and a third-generation pro-lifer. All because my 15
year-old birth mother, together with her parents, chose life--and my
daughters, grand-daughters, and I are alive today to thank them.
