As a soon to be father, I already have a bond with my unborn baby girl. The idea of abortion, that 16 babies will be killed in the world before you finish reading this, breaks my heart.
But that doesn't change politics, and it doesn't change the mindset. Population control, women's rights, fear of poverty. Just a few of the reasons. Life is precious, but that mindset won't be found common.
We can push and pull for the politics to change, or we can change the hearts of women in a crisis.
This is what our goal should be. Politics won't change the heart. Love will.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~Bertrand Russell
In war, there are casualties on both sides. But in the war on abortion, the only casualty is the unborn.
In 2009 congress authorized federal taxes to pay for international groups that promote or perform abortions. Our taxes already pay for war, but now we fund the other side.
Our taxes now support abortion organizations, paying for the offices and personnel who perform abortions. Medicaid fully funds abortions for women who cannot afford them. We pray for life while paying for death, the war continues on and more lives are lost.
The partial birth abortion act of 2003 prohibited that form of late-term abortion, finally a pro-life victory, but the battle is far from won.
Each individual state was able to reduce abortion, with various laws discouraging it until 1992’s court decision PLANNED PARENTHOOD v CASEY further removing restrictions on abortion, taking away the states’ ability to decide.
In 1973 Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in America beginning a new chapter in the battle for life. An ongoing battle in which you must take a side. 50 million babies have been murdered in America since the beginning of this campaign against life. We are affected, collateral damage caused by the casualties that would have been our friends and family.
The battle may seemingly be lost in the courts but the war will be won in the heart.
Women are choosing between life or death everyday, and Crisis Pregnancy Centers are our greatest weapon in the battle of the heart.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers take the battle to the front lines; the streets. It is estimated that there are 3,500 CPCs in operation, versus 1,800 abortion clinics. We love and care for all women and their babies, we do not violently attack the enemy, but pray for them. Taking the battle to where it is really being fought, in the hearts and minds of women facing a crisis pregnancy, too often choosing abortion.
In this battle for life, there will be no draft, no recruiting, only a choice left to you. Will you take a stand? You can make all the difference.
