Confused. Upset. Scared. Angry. These were my feelings when the high risk doctor from Riverside Hospital’s Maternal Fetal Medicine told me that my baby was going to die. He told me she had Trisomy 18 and bluntly stated that she was, “incompatible with life.” He asked my husband and I if we wanted to […]
It’s hard to know where to start with my story — I guess from the beginning. I was conceived when my mom was raped by an encyclopedia salesman who forced his way into my mom’s mobile home, while my 3 year old brother was asleep. He raped her, and then left. She was in shock […]
To my best friend, We’ve been friends for years — through breakups, through laughter, through tears, through margarita Tuesdays and hangover Wednesdays. We’ve laughed so hard at inside jokes that we’ve both been laying on the kitchen floor and getting weird looks from the rest of our friends. About a week ago, I took you […]
It all started with a text: “Can you drive five hours to Santa Fe to testify before the NM Judiciary Committee on Friday?” Rebecca Kiessling, a dear friend of mine and Founder and President of Save the 1 — for which I am a pro-life speaker and writer, wanted me to go to a hearing […]
Last week the South Carolina House voted to prohibit abortion after 20 weeks post-conception based on the strong likelihood of pain on the part of the unborn child. The law was passed without rape, incest, or fetal anomaly restrictions- a monumental achievement given the status of our current “pro-life” belief system in this country. There is […]
New Mexico is currently the late-term capitol of America, so understandably, with a new Republican majority in the House, pro-life legislators and activists are making a push to get late-term abortion banned in New Mexico. Although New Mexico also has a pro-life Republican Governor – Susana Martinez, it still has a solidly Democrat-controlled Senate (25-17.) […]
I woke up this morning, on my 13,499th day of life. The idea that I was unplanned and conceived in incestuous rape, floods my thoughts today. Who wanted me? My mom didn’t even know she was pregnant with me. My father may have wanted me, but why would he? He raped his daughter and that […]
In 2010 my unborn daughter was diagnosed with a lethal birth anomaly. We continued our pregnancy, much to the consternation of our physicians, and she lived for almost two hours after birth. As the mother of a child who was diagnosed in the womb with a life limiting condition, I take a keen interest in abortion […]
The only way to overturn Roe v Wade is to stop the exceptions! Did you know that Norma McCorvey – “Jane Roe” — was told by her lawyers to say she was gang-raped, in order to make her case stronger to obtain an abortion? Today, her daughter is alive because the Texas Court protected them […]
Now I’m home from the LCMS conference and the 2015 March for Life. My heart and mind is just overflowing — what I heard and learned, and the people I spoke with, the worship services, the fire in my belly rekindled for Life and most of all for service to the Lord. I was very […]
