Here is why abortion is personal to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1973, my mom\u2019s water broke during the 1st trimester of my development. That was on a Friday and she went to the hospital to see what was going on. The doctor confirmed the bad news and scheduled a D&C for the following Monday. Why not immediately? It was a Friday afternoon and he wanted to go home. So my mom cried and prayed all weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next weekday, my mother returned to the hospital. The staff was preparing for the removal, but abruptly stopped when they detected a heartbeat. Instead of my life ending that day, a surgery was performed to assist my mom in carrying me as long as possible. She was warned that I still may not make it. She was told that if I did make it I would likely be deformed or experience mental challenges. She was placed on bed rest the remainder of her pregnancy. She prayed for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was born five weeks premature because my mother walked up a few stairs to use the restroom inside the house, rather than pull my dad from a volleyball game on his birthday. Once I was birthed, I was rushed out of the room to an incubator. About a week later, my parents brought me home. Technically, I\u2019m normal. You can use your own judgment on that though. I don\u2019t mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A heartbeat is one of several confirmations of life, but life begins prior to the unique heartbeat. Abortion = murder. Yes, it\u2019s personal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
