Planned Parenthood (and even some Christians groups whom fight against abortion) both agree that girls who have been raped should have the right to have an abortion. I absolutely disagree. I was raped when I was 15, and had never even been with a guy... Being used like that was more than just traumatic. It changed me. I felt violated; my virginity and innocence were stolen from me, my care free days of young womanhood were gone, and I lost valuable educational opportunity, that through dedication and hard work I had earned... I had big plans for my life! In one 10 minute act, that was perpetuated against me, my life was forever altered, and I had no idea what I was going to do. But there was one thing that sustained me and that was the innocent life growing within me; a tiny boy that needed his mother in order to live... He needed me. Contrary to what abortion activists will tell you, rather than the pregnancy destroying you, it actually heals you. Especially after rape. Looking into the eyes of your beautiful baby for the first time, gives you purpose, and the opportunity to bring good out of something bad. Rape violates a young women in many ways, but giving birth, giving life to a precious child, your child, fulfills you. Is what happened to the young woman fair? Of course not, but who ever said life was fair? Cancer isn't fair, the death of a loved one, whom died far too young, isn't fair... But dealing with life's hardships, and taking advantage of life sustaining support, brings healing, and even a joy you would have never known, if you had chosen the option of death. Taking another life, will not and cannot ever make up for the things you lost in your own life. Choose life, for yourself and your child, and you will never be sorry you made that choice.
Thank you so much for being brave and allowing your child to live, allowing yourself to be healed. Abortion has been compared to *surgical* rape; it is as intimately brutal as the initial violation, if not more so. Your resilience, your refusal to undergo further trauma, is inspiring.
I just saw the photos of an ultrasound of a friend's grandson. The little boy was turning over, yawning and kicking. I could see the shape of his little nose and face. His mother is just now four months along.
Wow Abby ... you are very strong to share this with the world ... thank you for opening our eyes to the reality and to value life . God always provide the necessary to thrive and move forward . You said it with the power of Christ we have everything we need . We need to save life’s .God bless you .
Unbelievers want nothing to do with us, but at the same time, they insist we condone their sin and facilitate it with our taxes. We love them, but we must not participate in this atrocity. If we do, then we will share in their judgement. BTW, Abby's story is an inspiration to me. I am so proud of her courage in admitting her error and turning away from the darkness. The left knows that if they can turn us away from God, they win without a fight.
@@handeyecoordinationskills Respectfully, Mary was in need of a saviour just the the rest of us. She was just as sinful as you and I. There was only one person born sinless... His name is Jesus. Mary birthed Him. What is am saying is what I read in Holy Writ inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus. Believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead and you will be saved! (Romans 10:9) Follow Jesus; Life with Christ is INCREDIBLE!
@Eithan S speaking of air, isn’t it amazing that at least two things we can’t see are required for our existence: air and gravity. Oh, make it three: God.
@Eithan S uh-oh, maybe you’re not aware, but name calling is usually the last resort of a person who doesn’t have any facts to back his argument. So we destroyed the invisibility argument, next up is detectability. You say air is detectable, so is God. We don’t detect him using the same method we use to detect air, but we don’t detect air in the same way we detect gravity. So how do we detect God? Well we would have to consult the documented testimonies of those who have encountered him to find out what types of things they did in order to experience or encounter God. Prayer, meditation, Bible study, and worship are among the ways people have reported experiencing God. So you’re saying God is not real? No one has EVER proved that. Mainly because it’s impossible to prove something that exists to be nonexistent. Based on the fact that the universe is expanding we know it had a beginning. So what was it that began the universe? An intelligent, all-powerful being would make sense. Erase him and we’re left with atheistic magic: 1) Everything from nothing 2) Life from non living matter 3) The immaterial (thoughts and emotions) rising from material. Where does this magic come from? Theists believe in intelligence. Don’t be an intelligence denier; accept Christ.
I have been praying for my feminist daughter in law. She is raising my granddaughter the same way she was raised. Feminism is horrible from the get go. I will not stop praying!
@@Maksie0 Oh please! That tired ol' dog won't hunt anymore! Women have the most equal rights in the United States ever! No, so called feminists are all about hating men. They use and discard them when they are done. They are control freaks that want EVERY thing their way. They even want to take urinals out of the men's room because women can't use them. Sicko's.
Besides women who are raped or hv a life threatening pregnancy, should be forced to see the ripped parts of the baby or watch every step of the actual procedure on a screen, while it's happening so they can SEE what they decided to do
To stop abortion consecrate the unborn to the sacred Heart of Jesus. ACT OF COSECRATION OF THE UNBORN TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS SacredHeart of Jesus I beeseech Thee to spare the lives of all the unborn babies and save and protect them from being killed in the bodies of their mothers.I consecrate all the unborn babies to Thy Sacred Heart in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Amen
I think that Texas is doing a wonderful thing by stopping abortions like this but I believe they need to put some work into the state not putting people to death.
I think that there should be a federal law to make abortion illegal. But I think that ProLife needs to promote birth control as an alternative to abortion.
Maston Dane. The death penalty is a good thing! It saves money (if there isn't a corrupt justice system requiring more than proof beyond a reasonable doubt.) . Life in prison can be overturned for political or other corrupt reasons. It is the most harsh punishment, which makes sense for the most harsh crimes.
So if she did shes not really a Christian? This is an example of why Christian's turn off the unbelievers..I'm sure you never sin daily like the word says.
Love Abby Johnson's work and story, and I'm very much pro-life. It's too bad she decided to discredit herself before the speech really got off by repeating internet myths about Margaret Sanger ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h4RulO1txRA.html. Abby says "she often worked with Hitler," when in fact Sanger never met him and openly opposed the Nazi's and donated to anti-Nazi organizations. Sanger was indeed a eugenicist, but not based on race. Sanger also never called negros the weeds; she was talking about "defective stock" (mentally or physically deformed people) being weeds, and this was where her eugenics came into play. If you read Sanger's writings she was very passionate about birth control to prevent abortion; indeed her early pamphlets urged women to prevent life rather than to kill it.
The only issue I take with this video is the direct lies she tells about Sanger. If you are such a good christian, you wouldn't lie to fit things to your agenda.
It is a pity that having praying parents does not seem to prevent Abby Johnson from spreading falsehoods as much of what she says about Sanger are distortions of what we know or is/was taken out of context with the purpose to defame Sanger. It is a shame that some people feel that arguing their case requires such things. It doesn't make your case stronger when you are either committed to parroting lies or too lazy to look up what occurred. To lie or to be lazy? Which of the two shall we attribute to having praying parents?
You are so right, Margaret Sanger created the American Birth Control Leage (Which later changed to Planned Parenthood) in 1921, as a nurse assistsing the poor in the ghettos, she witness women who had commited their own abortion, due to not being able to afford any more children and wanted to educate poor women about the alternatives with using birth control. Margaret Sanger never felt abortion was safe, regardless of how advanced medical procedures are today. Margaret Sanger fought for women's rights to birth control, not abortion. If it was not for Margaret Sanger, birth control would still be illegal today.
How is that? God the Father sent His only Son Jesus as a sacrifice for the sin of the world and IF we trust in the work Jesus did on our behalf by dying and rising from the dead, we will be saved and have eternal life with Him. His grace cleanses us from all sin, past, present and future! Knowing this, can you really say this the same God Muslims serve?
@@wilburwilson1034 Yes, because "Allah" means "God". I am not saying the religions are identical. What I am saying is that all of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) believe in the same singular God. Thank you for the respectful reply.
@@timothymccormack9075 Actually, Christianity is the completion of Judaism... Jesus is the Jewish Messiah foretold from Genesis. Islam borrows from Judaism and Christianity based on revelations from an angel, just as the Mormon religion was founded. You're welcome. Also, I do not believe in being rude, only factual.
