Have you
had an abortion? If so, you are on my
mind today. Dear sister, you are one of
the reasons I feel so compelled to speak out about what is happening in our
nation regarding abortion. Please bear
with me as I sort through what I want to say. I promise I will come back to you in a minute.
My heart
is indeed heavy and I am so angry.
Did you
hear the news? Yesterday an undercover
video surfaced that was filmed in July 2014 by the Center for Medical Progress, an advocacy group that reports on medical
ethics. They sent two actors posing as representatives of a human biologics
company to a business lunch with Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior
director of medical services.
While sipping wine and enjoying a lovely
salad, this woman spoke rather bluntly about Planned Parenthood’s
business of selling body parts of aborted babies to the highest bidder. She explains how with certain techniques,
they can preserve and sell specific organs.
Her words, “We’ve been very good at getting
heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part I’m
gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can
get it all intact.”
“CRUSH”…..and God weeps.
I won’t share the video here, but feel free
to google it – it’s easy to find. I finally
watched it this morning and I am still nauseated. As Matt Walsh said yesterday in his column
for The Blaze, you cannot be shocked.
Sick, disgusted, sad, heart-broken, but don’t you dare be shocked. This should not surprise any of us and if it
does, shame on us for not paying attention!
Planned Parenthood is the vilest agency in
this world. They rake in millions of
dollars every year providing abortions to anyone and everyone they can. Their hallmark motto is that they mainly provide
birth control…..please tell me you don’t believe this lie. They are lining their pockets with the blood
of unborn children and the tears of women from every demographic and
socio-economic background in this country.
There are countless videos on You Tube
where you can witness their atrocities. Planned
Parenthood’s employees encourage young girls – LITTLE GIRLS – to abort their
babies, sometimes without parental consent. These employees stand by as
sex traffickers bring their girls in for abortions and/or birth control
pills. They even counsel teenage girls
about sexual prowess. They despise ultrasounds
and they balk when any form of regulation is mentioned by a politician or
pro-lifer. Why is that? Why shouldn’t their regulations at minimum
match that of a regular medical facility?
It’s ridiculous. And the list
goes on and on.
However, my point today is not about
sharing heinous videos from You Tube or explaining in greater detail the evil
that is Planned Parenthood. Today I want
to focus on the group of people who I believe can truly make the biggest
difference in the pro-life cause.
Mothers of aborted babies.
Christians and pro-lifers spend so much
time denouncing the act of abortion – and rightly so – but I feel the mothers
sometimes get lost in the rhetoric.
These are women who made a decision at one point in their lives to terminate their pregnancy. Maybe now they
have other kids. Or maybe they were
never able to conceive again.
But they get on Facebook and they read the
commentaries of passionate pro-lifers, and while they might agree,
perhaps they feel too shamed in their own regret and sadness to allow themselves an opinion.
Yesterday the Huffington Post printed an article entitled, "95 percent of Women Do Not Regret Having an Abortion." I read about 3 paragraphs and called it BS. That
is just another lie from Satan meant to ultimately shame the women who do feel the loss. There is no
way there’s not regret in the hearts of these women. No way. We can't sweep it under the rug and hope that time heals all wounds - it doesn't. And these women deserve to grieve. Stop telling them "everyone else" feels no guilt. LIES!
My heart is broken for these women and I have a message for them:
If you haven’t already, come to God and ask for forgiveness. And forgive yourself! God is there for you. He offers forgiveness and asks that you speak on behalf of the ones who have been silenced.
Don't let your past stop you from protesting the most hideous act/law
of our lifetime.
There is No greater battle in our generation, yet half of us
feel defeated because we are losing the inward battle of regret and depression. Not so. We are NOT
defeated.
Don't be pro-choice because you made the wrong choice. Be pro-life because you have repented and understand the enormity of what is happening here.
Do we vote the way we do because we feel hypocritical
robbing other women of the choice we've already made? At what cost? What did it cost
you? Would you wish that pain upon your worst enemy?
Perhaps we have chosen the representatives and presidential
candidates that make us feel better about our own choices. But stop it!! Be
honest. It hurts doesn’t it? It doesn’t go away. Millions of mothers are
suffering the wrong decision of abortion. What if you could stop one woman from making that choice?
Before we can save millions of babies in this country we have to save the mommies who are making this choice. We have to talk about it - YOU have to talk about it.
Yell. Scream. So that others would choose differently. Your
wrong choice does not disqualify you from having an opinion.
More than anyone - YOU MUST SPEAK LOUDEST. Tell our daughters what you learned. Tell them
how much it hurt and changed you. Share how it affected your marriage and your
emotional well-being.
SPEAK SISTERS!
For a time is coming when it will be too late. If one bad choice
is keeping you silent, I encourage you to repent and speak.
These broken women are amongst us. I promise you know at
least one woman who has terminated a pregnancy. They are normal, loving mothers and daughters. Some of them love Jesus and serve Him. And
they regret their mistake. It haunts them and they feel discredited.
But we need them to speak. We need to empower them
and stand by them so they can testify. We cannot abide this heinous sin any
longer. They have a story to tell and we need to let them tell it without
judgment or criticism.
So when you are commenting on Facebook, remember the silent women. They agree with you and their hearts are broken. Pray for them to find comfort and to find a voice.
Friend, I love you and I am praying for you today. I'm so sorry for the tone we sometimes have on the pro-life side. We need to do better embracing the mothers whose babies are in Heaven.
Today, I have made a choice. I will speak. I will loudly condemn abortion for the rest of my life and I will support and love women who's lives have been devastated. Roe v. Wade made it legal, but it didn't make it right.
Do you think God isn’t paying
attention? Do you think there is no
curse in the money that is flowing into this agency? YES, there is a curse! Choose life or choose death. When my money goes there, is that not
choosing death?
I will demand that my tax dollars STOP going to Planned Parenthood - a hard battle already being waged. It seems insurmountable, but do I have the right to
ask and beg that the federal funding stop?
I’m going to try. We have to do
something and now is the time.
A gay couple can sue a bakery because they
won’t bake their wedding cake….why on earth can’t I protest my tax dollars
funding abortions? I can and I’m going
to.
I took this step today, won't you join me?
