12 Year Old Speaks Out Against Abortion

I realize this is my third blog post tonight but I came across this video and wanted to post it.



According to the profile for this youtube video a woman said that her daughter in the video wrote and presented this speech to give to her 7th grade class. Shouldn't more of us speak out? Most definately, but more so than speaking out, why aren't we praying about the issue of abortion more? Some are, some aren't. Those of us who aren't should feel really bad, bad enough to start. For me this issue seems to be on my mind a lot lately. I've always thought it wrong, have studied the cruelty of abortion. I haven't studied it to the extent I should, but I am going to change that. I wrote papers on it in middle school or highschool I don't remember which. They probably weren't very good, but its always been an issue I have been drawn too. Everytime I think about abortion I get deep into thought so I am not exactly sure how to end this blog post correctly if there is a correct way to end a blog post. lol If you haven't already watched the video, the statistics she quotes is sickening to think about.

Googly Eye Paperclips

I remembered I had something else I wanted to blog! I forgot to take my camera and the thumbtacks I put buttons on to Church Sunday so I still do not have a picture of them, but I can go ahead and post a picture of the paperclips.






lol!

New Layout!

What do you think about the new blog layout it is called "Sassy Santa" from www.thecutestblogontheblock.com I know it pink which is different from what I usually choose since my favorite color is pink, but when I saw the layout I liked it and decided I would give it a try! I might change it later, than again I might leave it up until after Christmas!

Not much else I want to blog about right now other than tomorrow ends the promotional give-away at my website www.MardiRobyn.com which means Wednesday I get to randomly select a winner! Yay!

Hope you all have a great week!

"Would You Consider Abortion?"

"Would you consider abortion in the following four situations.

1. There's a preacher and wife who are very, very poor. They already had 14 kids. Now she finds out she's pregnant with 15th. They are living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty, and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?

2. The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. They have 4 children. The first child is blind, the second child is deaf, the third child is deaf, and the fourth child has TB. The mother finds out she is pregnant again, given the extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?

3. A white man raped a thirteen year old black girl and she got pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?

4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She's not married. Her fiance is not the father of the baby, and he's very upset. Would you consider recommending abortion?

If you answered yes to the first case, you have just killed John Wesley. One of the great evangelists in the 19th century.

If you answered yes to the second case, you have killed Beethoven.

If you answered yes to the third case, you have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.

If you answered yes to the fourth case, you have just committed the murder of Jesus Christ!!"

I printed the above off a long time ago and came across it last night and wanted to share it. I cannot help but wonder how many great leaders have been killed by abortion. It's saddening to think about. The good news is there is forgiveness through Christ and regardless of past mistakes, you can choose not to have an abortion and save the life of a precious child. I am big on pro-life and I think everyone should be educated about the cruelties of abortion.

www.Abort73.com is a great resource to educate. Warning: Graphic content might not be suitable for younger children.
