Please keep speaking out, telling your story. My son, who is going to be 45 this year was saved by God from an abortion. My mother insisted that I abort my child, I was 17, I defied her and I paid the price. My father was enraged at me. PP lied to me, surprise, surprise. My child was and is healthy, not like they told me he wouldn’t be. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, raising an unwanted child, I wanted him but we suffered. God spoke to me in an audible voice and told me to have him and I would survive and I did. My parents ended up adoring him, especially my father. I love you my dear Isaac, you are my heart. Thank you Jesus for saving him from this evil act. Thank you for speaking out; abortion is murder, genocide and the shedding of innocent blood.
❤Since you survived the abortion, I would say you are VERY special! God definitely has a huge purpose for your life! Thank you, young man, for sharing with us. God bless you every day, in every way. ✝️📖🙏🥰
Thanks for sharing this Live Action! I learned about Josiah about eight years ago. Josiah will be a speaker at a youth event I am coordinating for a pro-life organization. The event is called Be the Change. I am so excited he will be sharing his story with the students, parents, teachers, youth ministers, and young adults who will be in attendance!
This is such an amazing and beautiful story of God’s grace and his greater plan in all things . He didn’t let this little boy die- but he did allow him to go thru this horrible event and then placed him in a family that would raise him to know and love and serve him when in South Korea he may have never known God… because he knew that all of these things would lead to this man one day that would make such a huge impact in a world that has gone so horribly wrong with abortion . You really see every single step God took to make just the perfect combination of circumstances that created what he needed in this world right at this moment. It’s mind blowing how great he is!!!! Thank you lord God !! And thank you for sharing your story!!
Please thumbs up ppl ❤️ God bless us all. Children need to be cherished all the days of their life. God bless those that are listening while facing big life decisions. We are rewarded for our decisions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, both of you! Such a wonderful interview, so encouraging and positive! As I was reading all the comments it came to me, that when Josiah gets his resurrected body, his arm will be whole again, for all of eternity! God bless you both!
Amen and amen! I am 73 years old and have been confined in a power wheel for 21 years because I was rear-ended while stopped at an intersection coming off of a freeway. My joy too is realizing I will have a new, healthy body in heaven. I will be able to stand and run into the arms of my Saviour, Jesus! So will this young man too. His body will be completely healthy and whole! Such joy we will have. ✝️📖🙏🥰
This interview was profound! Josiah addressed so many issues that impede a culture of life, including ableism. Thank you for a fantastic interview. I watched it with my family and will share it far and wide.
This is really sad. Its stories like these that really make me hate abortion. All life has value and people should not be able to place value on other people's life. When he mentioned how abortion was never really a concern to him until he learned about the circumstances of his birth, I really related to that. I'm not an abortion survivor, thank God, but I had a similar experience when I was a teenager. After learning that my mother was pressured into having an abortion by the prenatal doctors and nurses due to the strong likelihood that I would be born with severe mental retardation, it completely changed how I saw abortion.
Exactly. You don't really think about it until it happens to you. When I was pregnant with my son in 1986, doctor immediately brought up abortion because of my age. I was 20. I was raised Christian and I knew that a life was in my body. My son's 35 and I love him very much.
There is SO much I can say about this testimony. From it being about culture and not race, to the genuine love of others expressed by authentic Christians, to the hard work that Christian parents give for others and for the Kingdom, to how Christ can form the hearts and minds of a person, to the fact that when someone is called a survivor, a rational person has to ask what it is that is going on when someone is a "survivor". A procedure that someone can "survive" and be considered a "survivor" should not be legal.
@@Ooooooooooooo-19 I have two options. Grace, or force. I pray for God to change America, and the world. I witness to people. I can fight every individual battle, or try to win the War. So I focus on the War. I give the gospel on my channel, online, and in person. That can win the War with a person' moral choices.
He a living testament of Gods will! Those who are speaking out in hate on his life story and saying that he should be dead……struck a nerve because their reality is crumbling! They believe abortion is good and there is nothing wrong and there are no abortion survivors……now that reality that they have to face proves that they are wrong!
He never mentioned that he was probably a twin and that the twin was in fact aborted. There are other abortion survivors who were also twins and the twin was taken.
The issue of abortion became important to me when I got news I was completely unprepared for - that I was expecting. The clinic worker at the college clinic tried to talk me into having an abortion for about 2 hours. I continually said I needed to talk to someone else and finally, somehow, got out of there. I did go to someone else for advice and was connected with an adoption agency. I wanted to sign papers before the birth so that it would be a done deal, but I guess the law was (Wisconsin in 1992) that you had to wait until the baby was a month old because there had been too many people who changed their minds. I knew I wouldn’t change my mind. The baby was born a month early. The adoption process wasn’t finalized. I hadn’t even found adoptive parents yet. Four days later, I changed my mind. I decided to keep my son, Daniel - “God is my judge.” I never married. He is my only child. I am thankful for the people that brought the issue of abortion and adoption to my attention so I wouldn’t be caught in the lies and the deception of the pro-death ideology - specifically a family I lived with for almost a year who were foster parents. The pro-death people wanted to kill my only child. That man at the college clinic at UW Whitewater, in about February of 1992, wanted to kill my precious son. If he had had his way, I would never have been a mother. I would not have had the past 32 years with my son. Daniel turned 32 yesterday. He and his new wife and I took a hike to Tippin Rock in New Hampshire for his birthday. Taking a birthday walk or hike has been a tradition for quite a few years. I made him strawberry pizza as a special dessert for his birthday. There is so much that wouldn’t have happened if I had succumbed to the advice of that man all those years ago.
Something not mentioned is that it is likely Josiah was a twin. The abortionist assumed one fetus and pulled out the parts. Thinking it was over, the abortionist quit. It is not uncommon for an abortion survivor to have been a twin who survived.
Praise Jesus. So glad this young man survived the murder attempt on his life. I thank God this young man’s here with us to share his amazing story. My heart weeps for the other 63+million that didn’t. His parents are true saints and gifts from God in this young man’s life and his 13 siblings. How can a doctor who took the oath to save lives go into a mother’s womb and murder that precious gift from God Almighty. Judgment day these evil doers.
An amazing conversation 👏 all life is so valuable . God knitted us in our Mothers womb , he knew us when he created the Universe . He has a purpose for us all . Josiah, God bless you and your ministry and Lila your compassion and determination to never give up to show that we are murdering babies through abortion is so powerful how God is using you xx ❤
I will be praying for you, Josiah. Your journey is hard (mine is too), but the Lord who loves you, sees you for everything that you are. I do not think you are less than anyone. I think your goodness and power will continue to make itself known to you the longer you continue to journey with yourself, God, your siblings, and neighbor. God be praised, He came that you might live.
I understand what he is saying about responding to “will they have a bad life.” My daughter has Down syndrome. I’m always seeing stories going around on social media and people with Down syndrome who did something like owning business or becoming a model etc.. so people who are well meaning point out the fact that we shouldn’t abort babies with Down syndrome because they might be able to do something productive with their life. However most people with Down syndrome can’t become independent. So it exposes and reinforces the belief that people who can’t “contribute to society” aren’t valuable or worth bringing into this world. I’m deeply offended when someone tags me in an article about about a person with DS who was asked to the prom or was made homecoming queen or became a model or whatever. It’s telling me that my daughter is only valuable if she does something extra. These kind of videos also praise other people for doing something halfway decent like befriending a person with a disability or asking them to the prom. At that point it’s about the other person. Not the person with a disability. We need to recognize that all people have intrinsic value no matter their circumstances, regardless of their ability to overcome those circumstances.
YESS! Have you read Stephanie Gray Connors's new book on euthanasia? It stresses how important "being" is rather than always "doing". I ended up crying while reading because I'm in a situation where I can't do a lot of things that I used to be able to do. It's very lonely sometimes, but your message was exactly the one Stephanie had: we all have worth not based on what we can contribute but simply because of who we are. God bless you!
I love this testimony and its beautiful! That said is it killing anyone else how he doesnt know the definition of invaluable but in the most perfect way, because he is so invaluable to God? He is so invaluable, "extremely useful; indispensable." Its a really beautiful mistake he makes multiple times.
Josiah failed to mention something he has previously mentioned. He was probably a twin and the twin was in fact aborted. This has happened previously in abortion survivor stories: the twin was aborted but a survivor was left. The abortionist is doing a kind of blind operation, ripping off body parts, and so he just got part of an arm in this case.
Horrific painful way to die. We wouldn't wish it on our worst enemies and yet people do this every day to tiny, fully feeling children. If people don't wake up to this evil, I don't see how we can avoid judgment as a nation.
@@LadyIarConnacht Actually, the unborn don't feel pain until about week 19 when the central nervous system is hooked up. I don't support legal abortion but there is no pain for them at that stage. Of course, the aborters experience a certain amount of pain but that is true of any surgical procedure.
@@denisenoe1534 nope thats old science. There is scientific studies showing pain is felt a lot sooner. The most recent studies showing as soon as 12 weeks.
@@Arginne What I find bizarre is that, in many places, a fetus can be aborted at week 19 and later -- when there is a very real probability that pain is experienced. In effect, an abortion 19 weeks or later is torture -- legal torture. I have a friend who actually gets mad at me when I mentioned pain in aborters as she seems emotionally tied into the idea that this is an easy, breezy sort of thing. No operation is fun.
The abortion procedure is Dilation and Evacuation. The doctor puts forceps inside, grabs a tiny body part, pulls hard, and gets it out of the pregnant female's body. Josiah's twin was entirely "evacuated" from the aborter's body. It's to some extent a blind procedure so the doctor could have grabbed part of an arm and pulled it out without actually recognizing what it was. Of course, many people are deformed due to varied reasons including genetics and other problems during the pregnancy. But it makes sense that D&E led to the deformed arm.
Kids at schools say that I was a failed abortion but u were and u are amazing so if u can survive that then I can survive life with depression and anxiety
In the early 1970's there was a family in NH who had adopted a few, I don't know exact number, different shades of black, children, one a black albino. The local kids called the family, "mixed chocolate box".
The reason abortion was legalized was that massive numbers of women sought abortions. Sadly, there was no demand to go to the "root causes" of abortion seeking and eliminate those conditions. Many people thought the only thing that would control damage was to legalize.
So happy he is ok on the other side of it, Fox news' response is affirming my conviction that all political sides are wrong and I must adhere to God, and God alone!!
To get ahead in life you have to take a life Wow powerful words even tho it’s been said in many different ways before excellent Choice of words also so upsetting to hear of girls/women that want to keep there baby but the boyfriend/husband doesn’t want it more responsibility needs to be placed on both parties single people need to stop randomly hooking up so frequently
About abortion what if the mother is 14 year old girl that was raped what is she supposed to do? Go and pretend that it didn't happen I am all pro-life but this is crazy put yourself in some of these girls.
Rape is one of the worst things that could possibly happen, and thankfully it makes up only a very small percentage of pregnancies. There are options like adoption and foster care that can ensure the baby be raised safely, and not have a living human wiped off the Earth. The sins of the father do not justify the murder of the child.
The girl can give the baby up to family to care for the baby she does not want to raise instead of killing the baby. Allowing the baby to live would also deter rapists from raping young girls, and possibly hold rapists accountable because there would be living proof the rape occurred. There is no shame in being born out of rape. Many people have been born out of rape. Their life is not any less valuable.
People always go straight to rape w/any issue in which it is remotely relevant. Rape pregnancies are a whopping 1% of the abortions and 50% of the conversation.
I can never understand why you and others think a baby from rape should be given a death sentence, ask your self this, is the rapist killed in the same way a baby is?? The rapist is the perpetrator not the baby! I know of two women and one was already married to the rapist and she has children by him, if you think an innocent baby in the womb conceived by rape should be killed so you must want those children born from rape should be killed?
The selfishness of people. They are ok with abortion until it is about them. Tehy suddenly they are prolife. I am pro abortion even if it would include me. My mom deserve choice and frwedom over her body.
they arent an abortion survivor if they got attacked?? they are basically a murder surviver because the person attacked them and not their mother wanting to abort them?? also hope that they arent a pro-life supporter- as abortions are 100% a choice and should always be a legal option.
No he wasn't attacked. His mom thought she aborted him but she didn't. Sorry, he's definitely pro-life. My hope is that people like him will rise their voices and share their stories. Perhaps one day instead of supporting abortion, we'll support adoption instead.
You have some serious problems if you believe that an attempted murder on an innocent human child is justified. People like you who don’t respect the right to life and absolutely hate babies are the reason I’m pro-life, because I know I’m on the right side.
@@lilyyy778, Really? Who’s body is it? It certainly isn’t yours or anyone else’s to decide what I can and cannot do with my own body. Doesn’t bother me one bit to get rid of a parasite that is unwanted. And I don’t give a rat’s a** what you think! Karen!
@@nitapatterson8271 A preborn baby has his or her own body inside the mother. Last time I checked, you didn't have four hands, two heads, twenty fingers, two different genders, etc. Your response is entirely selfish, as your wording proves, and you likely have no real experience with abortion and are taking a naïve idealistic stance based on what you think you know. But 6 times higher suicide rates for women who've gone through it, vastly increased physical and mental health problems, and even death (yes, women are sometimes killed during abortions) are all part of making that "choice" you seem to value so much yet know so little about. Just like the fact that it's not a real "choice" at all when 2/3 of the women who do it only do so because they've been coerced. Women have lost jobs, families, homes, been beaten and even killed for refusing to abort. Others have been led into abortion facilities at gunpoint, been attacked by hit men hired to kill them and their baby, forcibly given abortion drugs against their will, and more. But all this seems just fine to you. Any moral atrocity, to you, is justified so long as the "choice" is preserved.
You don’t even have one ounce of humanity in your heart if you believe that his attempted murder was justified and if you believe him speaking out against it is wrong. It’s too bad that you don’t believe in the right to life.
@@lilyyy778 he should be ashamed for taking such a disgusting stance on one of the most difficult decisions his mother ever took, and then trying to profit from it by becoming a propaganda piece. Truly the lowest of lows.
@@GeneralTaco155555a "Trying to profit"? You do realize that this is his life story, right? Is what you're suggesting is that he shut up, sit down, and let the world go on thinking that abortion doesn't kill children or something?
@@lilyyy778 you do realize he gets paid just to go around telling this story over and over right? It's a grift. Abortion doesn't kill children, and there is more biblical support for abortion than against it. People are just cherrypicking one vague line to justify their backwards beliefs.
