Mother Teresa says it best,
“I will tell you something beautiful. We are fighting abortion by adoption - by care of the mother and adoption for her baby. We have saved thousands of lives. We have sent word to the clinics, to the hospitals and police stations: “Please don’t destroy the child; we will take the child.” And we have a tremendous demand from couples who cannot have a child - but I never give a child to a couple who have done something not to have a child. Jesus said, “Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me.” By adopting a child, these couples receive Jesus but, by aborting a child, a couple refuses to receive Jesus. From our children’s home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3000 children from abortion. These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents and have grown up so full of love and joy.” I want to all women become birth mothers of adoption because they didn’t want their baby, in fact not many. In Mother Teresa’s experience though, in Calcutta, that was sadly the case. Here in 2008 adoption has come along way. In my experience, as a birth mother and as someone who lived with and talks frequently with them, we would of loved to keep our child more than anything! But simply because we loved them more than life itself, we wanted to provide them with everything they deserved that we couldn’t offer them. That is the motivation of birth mother’s that is true and real. It’s not fun leaving your child with another woman to raise. My pledge is actually for 2017 (when my daughter is 10) I had to put 100$ at least as the goal, but this pledge is not about money (although it helps) it’s more about raising the awareness of a much needed ministry. A lot has changed in recent years, (for the better) yet the general public is not aware of this. Adoption, centered around providing the best for the child, is a miracle to watch. And we Birth Mom’s want adopted children to know how much love and thought went into finding them the perfect parents to provide them, all we could’nt. These adoptive couples are truly amazing people too! They have so much love to share. My pledge & mission in life is to one day provide a Birth Mother Support Network Housing Program in the Dallas area and eventually all over. There is a desperate need for more post & pre adoption support. I think a birth mother run, “house for pregnant women” would be ideal! It would be a place for scared, pregnant, and alone women to come and be treated with respect. If eventually word caught on of the love and kindness you get at our Birth Mom House, then maybe women faced w/ unplanned pregnancy and no support, would gladly choose our warm loving house over any abortion clinic’s cold doors. I can only offer advice to birth mom’s that go through it after me, but I pledge to make their silent struggle something that they can share with other women alike & finally get help processing the grief. So many turn to bad ways of numbing the pain. Moms in Touch International prays for children in schools. They have allowed me to start a birth Mom Group (because we pray too for our kids) and will be local and national. The 2nd part of my pledge came after I realized the general public opinion on adoption & birth mom’s. The majority actually commenting about adoption, HATE adoption &consider adopted kids as “abandoned and unwanted” by their mom’s. This is SO not the case! I want her everyday! I would normally not mind negative comments about myself, by people that don’t have a clue.. I can shrug it off though, and a child will not. So, I am determined to do all I can so that when my daughter is 10 or so, she can ask anyone opinion on adoption or go on a site like youtube & not get bombarded with messages saying, “your own mom didn’t even want you” This is what it’s like now, & it will NOT be like this in ten years! |

If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
National Prayer Breakfast Speech Against Abortion (1994)
Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You’re for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words “abortion” or “tax hikes” pass their lips.

Democrats couldn’t care less if people in Indiana hate them. But if Europeans curl their lips, liberals can’t look at themselves in the mirror.

A Call for Compassion for The Unborn
When Hitler attacked the Jews I was not a Jew, therefore I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church — and there was nobody left to be concerned.
