I’m not just saying this on my own. God’s Word has a lot to say about it, in that the Creator gives life and is also the One who should decide when or if a baby dies. That’s right! A baby! NOT “just a fetus.” NOT “just a bunch of cells.” God created that fetus and bunch of cells and gave them life. I applauded the governor of Kentucky this week when he decided to sign a law making it illegal to abort a baby with Down’s Syndrome. Of course, the ACLU is getting involved to protest the new law, but that’s the way things go in our country. Since I wanted to find out what the laws of the different states are concerning abortion, I did a Google search and came up with the following statistics. These are from Guttmacher.org.

If you want, you can go to this site and check it out yourself. You can also sign up for updates on the laws. I also recommend that you sign up on LifeNews.com for the latest information on laws and the abortion controversy.

Why am I so adamant to continue to beat this same drum? Because the little ones in the womb have no drum to beat! They are innocent little lives, dependent on adults to support and defend them. I choose to do so because I read my Bible and know that life is sacred to God. He gives the breath of life to each individual and we are all created in His image.

None of us totally understands how life happens. Yes, we know cells divide and reproduce and voila! A little human! Before the “voila” is our God who breathes life into this tiny one. I believe that with all of my being and will defend their right to life until the day that God decides that it is time to call me home.

I just went through a very scary major surgery and I’m in recovery now. Just as God created me, He is working on healing me. I am getting better daily, and I thank God that He chose to keep me alive after this ordeal. But more, I thank God for each tiny life that has a heart beating and feels pain and I want them to have a chance at life, too. I went into surgery knowing that I have a lot of health issues and might not make it through the procedure. Nevertheless, I prayed and trusted God and here I am. My prayer is that those considering abortion will consider the life of the baby and not their own desires and will hear the Lord telling them that He created that life and it is His little person, created to serve Him all of its days.

Blessings to each of you, especially to those who prayed for me during my surgery. Continued prayers are appreciated as I am healing.
