yes, I am ProLife

I have stated so many times that I am 

PROLIFE.

A few blogs ago I spoke of the young 11 year old

girl who was raped by her mothers boyfriend which found

her pregnant. I always have lots of comments

when I blog about topics such as this.

Last night, as myself and my "religion girls"

sat in the small chapel of St. Clement,

our DRE, Lorie shared a story that had happened to her

just that morning while petitioning against abortion.

She shares with us this story:

As she stood in front of church spreading the news of

Prolife a gentleman came up to her and asked if in 

fact she was educating people against abortion.

She said yes, in fact, she was. He said he wanted to share

a story with her and proceeded to do just that,

MY WIFE AND I WERE NEWLY MARRIED WHEN 

WE FOUND OURSELF UNEXPECTEDLY PREGNANT.

THE TIME WAS NOT THE BEST BUT STILL, HE WAS EXCITED.

THEY BOTH WERE PLANNING ON BRINGING THIS BABY INTO

THE WORLD. ABOUT A MONTH LATER HE FINDS

HIS WIFE UPSET ABOUT A FRIEND OF HERS

WHO FOUND HERSELF ALSO PREGNANT BUT 

THE NEWS WAS NOT GOOD BECAUSE SHE HAD HAD 

AN AFFAIR AND ALTHOUGH SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND

VERY MUCH AND HE LOVED HER,

SHE COULD NOT BE SURE THE BABY WAS HER HUSBANDS.

THE FRIEND WAS CONTEMPLATING ABORTION.

HE TELLS HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE, EXPECTING HIS OWN CHILD,

TELL HER TO HAVE THIS BABY.

THIS BABY IS INNOCENT AND DID NOT ASK TO BE CONCEIVED.

THIS CHILD HAS A REASON FOR COMING INTO THIS WORLD

AND DESERVES THE CHANCE TO LIVE.

HE TELLS HIS WIFE, GO TO YOUR FRIEND AND

TELL HER TO HAVE THIS BABY, TO LOVE THIS BABY 

AND HER HUSBAND WOULD FORGIVE AND LOVE THAT CHILD ALSO.

TWO MONTHS PASS, THE STORY TELLER COMES HOME ONE NIGHT

TO FIND HIS WIFE IN THE TUB, CRYING HER EYES OUT.

RIGHT AWAY HE THINKS, SOMETHING IS WRONG,

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THEIR CHILD.

THROUGH HER TEARS SHE EXPLAINS TO HIM...

THAT FRIEND I TALKED ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AGO?

THAT FRIEND WAS ME.

HE FORGIVES HER, NEVER QUESTIONS AND THEY HAVE

THE CHILD TOGETHER.

HE SHARES THAT HE IS NOW THE FATHER OF FOUR

AND THE CHILD SPOKEN OF IN THIS STORY IS NOW 8.

HE IS THE MOST LOVING OF ALL HIS CHILDREN,

THE BOND BETWEEN THEM IS THE STRONGER OF ALL FOUR.

Later, as my girls and I go into our small groups we talk of this and

they share how touched they were by the story.

I am once again strongly ProLife.

Even with rape, I would still have the child and give it up for 

adoption at birth knowing that child will be a miracle to some family.

I love my religion group, love my girls, so glad I 

am there with them.
