ABORTION IS NOT A RIGHT. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION GIVING WOMEN THE RIGHT TO KILL THEIR BABY, HOWEVER THERE IS THAT ONE PART ABOUT A RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. OH WAIT.....A RIGHT TO LIFE...MAYBE IT DOES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ABORTION AFTER ALL. IT SAYS ITS WRONG! IT SAYS THAT BABY HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE. AREN'T WE HYPOCRITICAL.
I thought about this a lot. i don't know. a lot of people. different people, famous, young, old, rich, poor, black, white, brown, yellow, mean, nice......everyone i cross in my life will impact it somehow, no matter how miniscule it may seem. there's been times when i did or didn't do something based on something so small as having seen someone in passing. think about it in your own life. we are sent to this wordly plane for a reason. preserve LIFE.....no matter how miniscule
Dear Mommy, I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bond between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell and scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling at you. I was sad, and hoped you would feel better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day, you cried almost all the day. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm comfortable place I was in. I was so scared. I began screaming, but there was no sound. I guess they had you tied down, because you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer. I was screaming and screaming "mommy, mommy, help me please; please help me mommy Terror is all I felt. The monster started ripping off my arm. It hurt so badly; the pain I can't explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged for it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off. Though I was in such pain, I realized I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now, I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine what terrible things they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big, beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. Then angel took me to Jesus and sat me on his lap. He said he loved me, and he was my father. Then, I was happy. I asked him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry my child; for I know how it feels". I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to leave. Also, watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. So, please be careful. Love, You're Baby Girl: Written By Delaine Heffner, age 16
BABY HOPE................ THE WOMAN WAS 22 WEEKS PREGNANT when she sought the assistance of Dr. Martin Haskell, the originator of the partial-birth abortion procedure, to rid herself of her already-kicking child. Haskell performed the first stage of the partial-birth abortion. He inserted a seaweed-based substance into the woman's cervix and instructed her to return the following day. In the usual course of events, the seaweed absorbs the amniotic fluid from the womb and expands, thus slowly dilating the cervix. The next day, new seaweed is inserted. On the third day, the abortionist opens the cervix with his fingers, feels around for the baby's legs and pulls them out of the birth canal. He rotates the fetus' shoulders so that the baby's face is oriented toward the mother's lower back and then, using scissors, he punctures the bottom of the baby's skull and suctions the brain out through a tube.But in this case, things did not go according to plan. The woman complained of severe abdominal pain on the first night and, being far from Haskell's clinic, reported to the emergency room of her local hospital, Bethesda North, in Cincinnati. As she was being examined (she did not say she was pregnant), the baby was born -- alive. Pediatricians and neonatologists came running. The baby girl weighed in at 1 pound. The doctors decided that the child was very unlikely to survive and instructed that nothing be done.Connie Boyles, a nurse, and Shelly Lowe, a medical technician, saw the baby girl gasp for air and were stunned. Lowe, knowing that the nurses were busy caring for other patients in the emergency room, asked if she could hold the child she dubbed "Baby Hope" until she died.The request was granted.Lowe wrapped Baby Hope in a blanket and settled into a rocking chair for what she imagined would be just a few minutes. She sang to her and stroked her cheeks. "I wanted her to feel that she was wanted," Lowe explained later. "She was a perfectly formed newborn, entering the world too soon, through no choice of her own." The baby sucked on her lower lip, opened and closed her hands, and moved a bit as Lowe held her. She also did something else -- she continued to breathe on her own.Dr. John Willke, a pro-life activist and former obstetrician, says he doesn't quarrel with the initial determination made by the emergency-room physicians that Baby Hope was too small and too premature to survive. But, he says, when she was still alive and breathing room air 30 minutes after birth, her status should have been reassessed. An excellent neonatal care unit was a mere helicopter ride away. And she might have been saved.As it is, nothing was done. After three hours, Baby Hope died in the arms of the compassionate Shelly Lowe. The state of Ohio issued her a death certificate. The cause of death was listed as "extreme prematurity secondary to induced abortion." Would Dr. Haskell have issued her a death certificate at his shop, or does he simply throw the bodies in the trash?Very few premature infants survive when born before 23 weeks, though there have been survivors at 22 weeks. Still, one has to wonder: If a woman who did want her baby spontaneously aborted in an emergency room, would the doctors have been so quick to give up on the child? Would they ignore the signs of unusual vitality this infant showed? (Most premature babies have trouble breathing without assistance. That this infant was able to breathe room air was amazing.) Was Baby Hope's value as a human being secondary to her value to the mother?If we judge people's humanity by any standard other than that each is a unique individual with rights, we demean every person's dignity. A child is a child. Would-be adoptive parents wait years and years or go abroad in search of children to love.Lowe was asked at a press conference what her position ..ion was. She said she had been pro-choice but was now pro-life. What changed her mind? Three Hours.
