Three weeks (or was it four? lol) ago when I went to the airshow, Pilot Guy and I got a compliment. We came downstairs that morning after getting ready to go, and had both put on our Pro-Life shirts from Abort73.
Seeing our t-shirts, Dad said that he was glad his kids weren't afraid to wear their colors.
We, as Christians shouldn't be afraid to stand up for what is right. We need to stand up and be willing to catch some flak if we want to see things change for the better. Sitting on our hands waiting for someone else to act doesn't work.
"I was wondering why somebody didn't do something when I remembered I was somebody."
That's a paraphrase of a quote a friend sent me. It fits.
I am not pointing fingers, that is not my job. But a life is a life. God created it in His image and we should not be the ones to decide if a baby gets a chance to live. It is not our place.
Pro-choice people often talk about choice. What choice? There is zero choice for the children in question. They aren't asked, they don't have a say, they don't get a chance. It is plain and simple homocide.
Given a say, do you think they would say "Yes! By all means kill me!" No! They would say "Give me a chance. I am a human too, I have feelings and thoughts, and most importanly an immortal soul."
I know, because my birthmother could have aborted me. I could have been one of the millions terminated yearly. But she didn't do it. She made the choice. Grant it, it was harder at the time, but at least now she isn't haunted by the echo of a little baby never given life. So many woman choose abortion because they think it is easier, only to be overwhelmed with feelings of guilt, remorse and sorrow later.
1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet...
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke ...
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard...
and if you spend yourselves in behalf...
of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday...
The LORD will guide you always...
Sections from Isiah 58 (NIV)

Ah, wow, that's really Good, Hannah.
You're so right, we should stand up for what we believe! I am very pro-life, and I tell people that if I get the chance. Sometimes it's hard, though, but with God all things are possible!
God bless!
In Christ alone,
Hannah Grace.

Obviously, I love the song In Christ Alone, too! But, no, I haven't heard the version by Travis Cotrell. I like the Newsboys version.
I wish I was like you, unafraid to proclaim the Truth, but I am horribly shy and really struggle with it. But God is helping me! Plus, I just recently became a Christian, about 3 years ago, so I'm still pretty new at this stuff. :-D
In Christ alone,
Hannah Grace.
