When I was in labor I started losing parts of the placenta and had to have an emergency c section. While I was cut open, the doctor passed out on top of me (seriously! It was hot in the OR and she was pregnant) so I lost a lot of blood and my blood pressure went way low. I had to have a blood transfusion and thank the Lord there was a resident surgeon there who came up and finished the job of stitching me up. I couldn’t help but think about how I could have chosen to get rid of my precious baby had I lived in NY and had it been a few weeks later. Oh the horrors of this thought. This baby (number seven!) is our world! My heart has been crushed by the news from NY and the first thing I said was “Even so come quickly Lord Jesus”. But like you said, we can’t give up. I’ve had a stronger desire to have more children and to be more dedicated to raising them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Do I want them in this world, growing up in this crazy mess? Not really. But by the grace of God they can be soldiers for Christ and a light in this world of extremism and craziness. God will have a People! Just like He has the wicked for the day of judgement. Look up for our redemption draweth nigh! Wonderful post, dear Rebecca!<br />www.simplefarmmama.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-26342695067533920212019-02-08T08:44:20.928-05:002019-02-08T08:44:20.928-05:00Mary- yes, we'd love to join you on occasion. ...Mary- yes, we'd love to join you on occasion. And I hope to do it more near our neck of the woods too. I happen to grocery shop at an Aldi right across the street from an abortion clinic so I am there already!<br /><br />MakingCents- what a great testament to His goodness and the gift we receive when we 'let the little children come unto us'. Praising God for your strength during that hard time and for the wisdom you had and the blessings you reap today because of that time. It was a great gift to you AND your daughter that you only had those two options. Women today have been told a LIE that there is a third option and everyone suffers because of it! <br /><br />Abigail- thanks for those links! I enjoyed reading the Rachel J article which I hadn't read before and the Heritage House looks like such an encouraging means of reaching out to these women and their babies! Thanks for sharing them. I love your hijacks. :-)<br /><br />MARG- keep up the good fight! <br /><br />Jennifer M-I think you are absolutely right that killing a child is killing a child- no matter what age and stage it is. And it seems utterly wrong to object to one form of murdering a preborn baby and stand complacently by while another form takes place. But the fact is that we have ALL done it. Which is why the prayer I linked to is one that first begins with repentance. While many people are just overwhelmed that something so awful could come about, I can't help but feel a bit grateful for this time when liberals really show their hand and reveal their true intentions because it makes every complacent Christian (and even some pro-choice liberals) stop and say "Wait WHAT?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON?" I pray that seeing the extremism of the left might wake up this nation to really think about the fundamental differences between God's way and the World's way and to realize we need to reject ALL things that go against God's word. Jump ship entirely, instead of gradually accepting these incremental steps away from God and toward the world. Incidentally, I feel this is true of public schooling too. The fact is, unfortunately, it takes drastic events to wake people up to the truth and make moves. May this drastic event be one that actually changes and turns people around...unlike the Gosnell case that flared up the pro-life movement and then fizzled and then, too, a nation aghast at undercover videos from the Center For Medical Progress which eventually died out as well. May this be the thing that shakes people into a fervor that never quiets until every baby, at any stage, is protected and valued.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-41118631995016586762019-02-08T01:53:11.911-05:002019-02-08T01:53:11.911-05:00There are many people feeling the same as you do a...There are many people feeling the same as you do about the legalizing of killing full-term babies. LifeSiteNews.com just delivered a petition with 137,000 signatures to Gov. Cuomo's office:<br />https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/lifesite-delivers-137000-petition-signatures-to-gov.-cuomo-protesting-extre<br />In my own social media bubble, nearly everyone is talking about this and they're all firmly against laws like that which was passed in New York.<br /><br />I'm honestly a little disturbed though that it takes this level of extremism to get people talking about how wrong abortion is. I'm sure you'd agree that we should be equally disgusted about a 1st trimester abortion, but I'm worried that if the Left backs down from their infanticide position that we'll once again be trying to decide on some arbitrary point during pregnancy at which time thereafter it would be illegal to kill an unborn child and yet alright to do so before that point.JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947209657866343213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-38971244408291088242019-02-07T15:24:20.354-05:002019-02-07T15:24:20.354-05:00Amen I live in Canada, one of the only countries...Amen I live in Canada, one of the only countries to allow abortion up to birth.

It echoes your sentiments about the power of faithful motherhood and makes me feel less impotent for not having the ability to rally outside of abortion clinics regularly (not that that's an excuse to avoid doing so out of laziness).

Several people told me to have an abortion, the baby would ruin my life. She is one of the greatest things in my life. She is the most beautiful amazing women. Hubby and I got married before she was born. We are happily going to celebrate 26 years this March. We have 2 other beautiful kids. I thank God every single day for all of them.God knows what he is doing. We just have to listen to him. So many women listen to their fears and others. If they would just listen with their hearts they would hear God telling them that it will be OK. I pray for all of the women that have had an abortion. I cannot fathom what it must be to live with that decision.I know so many wonderful families that would love to adopt a baby(like yourself).

We will be attending and praying my hubby can get the day off!! also, our family is going to start having at least one day a week (maybe more) where we go and stand outside Ithaca's planned parenthood. If you are interested we would love to have you all come stand in for the innocent babies with us and maybe the Lord will work in just one mother to turn around and choose life!!
