I’m hoping this will be seen by the person who posted the comment asking how God could forgive them for having 2 abortions. You may have deleted your comment but I did try to reply and I hope you find God’s grace in this reply. Paul the apostle was in a situation even worse than what you’ve described. He had actively persecuted the church and sought to destroy the name of Christ. His moral crimes were so bad because he not only helped murder Stephen (in Acts 7) but was doing something even worse when he tried to torment Christians until they denied Christ and sought to fight against the very gospel itself. What’s amazing about this is that God chose to save Paul not just in spite of his sin but because of it. God wanted a man to spread the gospel who was guilty of the worst sin so that everyone else would know God would forgive even the worst sin. Paul even says as much in this passage. “even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” - and I am the worst of them. But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.” 1 Timothy 1:13-16 CSB As aware as you are of your wrongdoing you must become that much more aware of the grace of God. In Christ, He forgives you. Look to Jesus, He paid the price.
Mike, God bless you brother. 🙏 This is an incredibly powerful message. I can list a handful of times that I have cried as an adult, my marriage, saying good bye to my grandmother, and saying good bye to my best friend. I have my first baby to be born in November. Before my wife was pregnant with our child, I had spent many years being brainwashed that a fetus was nothing more than a parasite. Even I, a "good and moral" man was convinced that abortion was nothing more than a talking point for the politicians. I cried while listening to this message. It's difficult to hear and know that we have so many babies being violently murdered everyday. And it's frustrating to know that "good and moral" men are still convinced that the violent murder of innocent babies is nothing more than a "talking point". Keep up the good work. God Bless.
Mike, I am not for abortion at all. Please believe me. And I am not saying her logic makes sense or that she is right. Every single person born into this world deserves to be loved and cherished and provided for abd not abused. But that is not limited to unborn children. There are plenty of people who suffer in different ways who long for all three of things that she mentioned and yet lack that and didn't choose their circumstances or their family or their life. The wife that is unloved by her husband, the man on the street corner who lost his job and now has to beg, the law or medical student who got into an accident and now has lost his mental and physical capabilities...all of these people lose hope in different ways and may wish that God would take their life, but I am not saying it justifies abortion or that her logic is correct. There is suffering in this world regardless of age, sex, race, etc. And that should drive us to compassion. I think she thinks she is being compassionate in sparing a baby an unhappy life, but there should be other solutions to pain in this world.
@@RenewalCreations abortion is not "sparing a child an unhappy life" it is murdering a child before they have an opportunity to experience happiness in their life.
My mum in 1967 thought at 18 her baby was going to be born white. She gave birth to me and I came out brown. Her family wanted me adopted. I grew up thinking I was a mistake until I became a Christian. God told me I’m not a mistake and He knew me before the beginning of time. Thank you Jesus for saving me
I was born 10 weeks premature in the slums of Calcutta India, I was abandoned in a gutter, suffered a rickshaw accident, received two blood transfusions, and was adopted at 5 months old. I came to America and weighed 5 lbs 12 oz. My origin story made me prolife. This video galvanized my prolife stance.
No one who is pro choice is anti life. In fact they are pro life just like most other people. To them, the life of extant human people is more valuable than the potential life of embryonic humans. PROLIFE advocates however, tend to be anti choice, which negatively affects the life of the pregnant person, ironically enough. Funny how that works.
Former 10 yr heroin addict here. When I got pregnant with my son, I just lost my job, was just 1 month clean, was living in a weekly hotel , was not married and had every family member try to convince me to have an abortion for most of those reasons on the note. 5 years later I have a beautiful blue eyed, blonde hair, smart happy healthy boy. A 4 year old beautiful girl with an amazing husband who took on the responsibility of being a father to my son. Even in my sin, God protected myself and my son and gave me a gift of a beautiful family. I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. God is Good.
You are so exactly right and I am incredibly thankful for you and your child that you did not commit the sin of killing your beautiful son. Shame on your family for trying to turn you from God, and I am touched and amazed that you made the right decision under that pressure. If you follow God He will provide. It is distraction, selfishness, and worldliness that makes us believe it is okay to commit one of the most disgusting sins to avoid the responsibility of taking care of a child. We all suffer. Whether you are financially stable or not everyone has problems. If you build your house on a rock with God and Christ guiding your building, then you will overcome those problems and discover the beauty of God's plan for you. I am glad that you have a beautiful life and family, so so glad. I only pray those who made the wrong choice and killed their babies repent and are forgiven of that sin. God bless you and your family.
My youngest daughter was tested earlier pregnancy and red flag after red flag. My wife and I felt all we heard from everyone was to terminate. One day my wife asked me why I didn't seem to stress from it, I told her. I gave it to God, at the end of the day God has made me a father again and I have faith in his path for me and our family. She started to cry and smile. We had a healthy baby girl that I tell every day your my miracle baby.
I was not wanted, loved, nor financially supported. I was neglected and abused. But… I am so glad that I am in this world and that my Savior lives and loves me and blesses me and my family. God bless you, Mike, your ministry and your family.
Myself also. It was the healings of my soul and i didn't ask just old Marinatha singing church on Wed nights. The pastor was obviously born again. Sing a little a short message and singing (no "tongues" js). The Holy Spirit presence just worked. I felt the lifting bit by bit. I felt the healing happening. Also the "veil" was lifted to God. God is sooo loving. Do I have all the answers to the mysteries of God? Heaven no. I do know God is real and He loves me.
It's honestly the least of these that have a rough childhood and life that doesn't seem worth living, that God takes and lifts up and does great and incredible things through. In our politically limited understanding of the world we think that we're sparing someone the pain and suffering of living and breathing, but we really could be sparing them the joy of being chosen by God and doing amazing things in this life leading into eternity
When I was 19 years old I got my girlfriend pregnant. At the time I did not take her seriously and was with another girl when I heard she had an abortion. She said she had to because of health reasons, I don't know, I didn't pay attention and I was so lost, I was relieved, I didn't care she killed my child without me knowing. I have given my life to Christ and repented so many times. This abortion still haunts me and he or she would be around 24 years old now. I have so much regret even though I know God has forgiven me. God has blessed me with 3 children and my wife and I have had 3 miscarriages as well. However, I will have to apologize to my child one day in Heaven. A soul doesn't just disappear. I do love you, I was just selfish and stupid. If I could go back, I would. Having children is such a blessing.
You could not have stopped her anyway. I sometimes wonder about my mom’s three miscarriages. I was on the pill after I got married. Then I found out that it’s possible for an egg to get fertilized but it won’t implant. So I went off the pill and we used condoms until we could afford a child. I wonder if I had other children that never implanted. I think it was just ignorance but, I too, have questions. No one told me that birth control pills worked that way. God is merciful. Idk how it all will play out, but I know God will forgive us for wrongs committed in ignorance.
Hi Jacob, hats off to you for your honesty. 🎩👏👏 As a matter of interest - and maybe just a question to ask yourself rather than to reply to publicly: did you take responsibility and apologise to your ex-girlfriend as well for your lack of sincerity/commitment to her? You probably did. But if you didn't, I can tell you: unless I'm very much mistaken, it will mean a lot to her if you do, even after all these years. I believe it could also benefit you tremendously, spiritually speaking.
As a child abuse survivor, it makes my blood boil when pro-choice people use these kinds of arguments. Yes, I suffered incredibly as a child. Yes, I will continue to suffer to some degree. But my life has value. The value of a child is not dependent upon how well they're treated or how much they are loved. Mike, thank you for addressing this.
Such an important perspective that I hadn’t thought of before. It seems they not only devalue life in the womb, but in their summation, deem the child unworthy of life because of bad parents. Wow. Adds an even sadder dimension to the whole thing.
As a child abuse survivor it boils my blood that people think being born is the only thing that we have to survive. The biggest pro-life organization in the world also has the biggest and oldest child abuse rings in the world.
@@misterauctor7353 the Catholic scandals are all over the internet. And if you follow history they date back to the Spanish inquisition. The church was encouraging people to hand over their firstborn so that they would spend less time in purgatory. I can't post links here because TH-cam deletes external links. In Germany one of the Cardinals tried to resign because it's so bad he doesn't want to be associated with it. In Brazil they're trying to close the boarding schools that Catholics oversee because of all the abuse.
I was wanted. I was prayed for. I was loved. I was born into a financially stable household. I was conceived in spite of medical conditions that made it highly unlikely. I was a miracle. And yet, the doctors tried very hard to convince my mom to abort me. Because she was older. She was 45.
I got pregnant as a teen. I knew I wouldn't get help and everyone told me to get rid of it. I was told "No one will know you were even pregnant if you (take care of the problem)" I couldn't do that didn't even consider it. I had my child and will tell anyone that my child saved me. The person i became and the way I pushed myself to be a better person is something I couldn't have done without becoming his mother. We made it! I pushed myself harder then I ever have. We are much older now. I am so happy I CHOOSE to live my life with him.
@@thebowshot9341 I have been saying this for a while. Mike essentially said the same in his video, but not as succinct. Feel free to share it. It is a simple fact form the holocaust to slavery to killing Native Americans. Savage, Primiative, sub-human, in-bred, bumpkin, fetus - they are all an attempt to denigrate and distance from the victim.
I was abused emotionally, physically, & verbally by my own mother for most of my childhood. So this person says I didn't deserve to live and my life isn't beautiful because of what I had to deal with? Wow, how horribly wrong they are. Praise the Lord my mother didn't abort me nor any of my siblings and now we are free from the abuse! Most of all, praise Him that we are forgiven even though we deserve God's wrath!
The part that says there is _nothing_ that is beautiful about an abused, unloved, or poor person's life is especially ridiculous. Sounds like its coming from the mouth of a very privileged person who has never actually interacted with a victim or poor person. They are some of the most beautiful people I know. I imagine any social worker, child psychologists, etc would be openly mortified if someone said something like this outside of a "political" discussion.
Thank you for sharing. It’s a blessing to hear how God redeems and makes good of all things. It helps to put life into perspective, and reminds me that if Jesus can bear, and be crucified on a cross for us, we can get through our hardships today.
Wow that note is something. My dad walked out when I was in first grade and there were times we didn't have heat in the house and very basic food but we get by. I'm sure it bothered my mom more than me, as my only caregiver. Realizing my dad didn't love me hurt much more. Hearing you speak on those two aspects was poignant. Also, I had a pill abortion about 15 years ago at about 6 weeks. I thought this was ok because the man I got pregnant by put a knife to my neck and threatened to kill me. But now I am a murderer, not him. If only I knew Jesus back then. I am now 48 years old and have no children. 😢 But God has forgiven even me. God is sufficient and His Mercy endures. Amen
God bless you sister. I have supported my sister through an abortion and a couple of friends through abortions, I helped then through murder. I can only imagine you sadness, we are just so lucky Jesus loves us. God bless you ✝️❤️ xx
I was born very premature and my mom had complications during delivery which led to me having some brain damage. My childhood was very difficult in a different way-I struggled to learn, literally. I’m older now too and don’t have children. I think because of being socially behind mainly. But, even so, I don’t regret having life. And I do think God loves everyone. Our lives I do think have meaning. Even in just talking to strangers, surprisingly it can mean a lot to others. I hope you have a loving church family or others who love you in your life. Definitely you don’t have to be alone, if you happen to be. And by that I mean without any friends. Wish you the best.
We have a Good God that forgives any sin❤ Have hope that one day you will see your child, he or she is waiting for you in heaven🙏God continue to heal your heart from that trauma.
If somebody held a knife to your throat, nobody in THIS world is going to blame you for not carrying that life to term. I don't think God would have a problem with it, either. Not a loving God who believes in you as a person.
Here is one counter to this Pro "Choice" argument: There is a DocuDrama called "Mully" about a Kenyan man who grew up DIRT POOR! He literally had only the dirty shorts he was wearing as a kid, no shirt and no shoes. He woke up one morning in his mud hut and found that his family had left him. He wandered around knocking on other mud huts asking for help and was turned away. He then wandered into town where a wealthy woman allowed him to come in and live and earn his keep by doing chores. Her husband eventually hired him to work in his business working in the fields. He saved up enough money to start a taxi business. Then he eventually owned a fleet of buses, then a tire company, then a real estate company then an insurance company. He was a self-made TYCOON with a wife and eight children! Then God called Mully to sell all of his businesses and go back to where he had come from and start caring for the thousands of orphans still there. One by one he brought them home to his own home. Eventually he was caring for thousands of orphans and God supplied all he and his wife needed to do so. So, according to the Pro "Choice" argument Mully should have never existed and the thousands of orphans he helped should have never existed. But we are made in the image God and every human life is precious. Even the ones that people like this woman think do not have the right or the life potential or the "requirements" to be allowed to live!
@@rolysantos Its not a child or person legally until it has a name, date of birth/birth certificate and a social security number.. Maybe advocating for those things to be issued at conception would be more fruitful. As for your comment you cant point to the exception to the rule that a child raised without a decent home life as a reason to advocate for children to be brought into hellish situations. Funny how the people advocating against "killing children" are the same ones that support the death penalty and trying 14 yearolds as adults. If you dont want people looking at abortion as an option you should also advocate for raising children to not be financially prohibited. Do like Poland and knock off tax rates for every child had and after 4 its zero. If Society assentivized having children abortion would disappear.
@@engineeringreality7878 The government or other governing bodies do not decide when someone's a person or at least shouldn't so the legality doesn't matter. Where were they advocating for children to be brought into hellish situations they just don't want them killed even if the side effect is that they'll exist in a hellish situation. The child has not committed a crime to be put on the death sentence, you would have to do a crime hopefully a bad one to get that punishment but personally I don't agree with the death sentence. The way I see it it's the child's life so the one who should decide how or when it ends should be the child not the mothers, not the fathers, and not the government.
@@engineeringreality7878 Really? So we're talking about "legally" being human? How about ACTUALLY being human! "Legally" Hitler treated Jews as "non persons" so I guess killing them was ok too because it was "Legal." And PLEASE, don't try the "Godwin's law" or any such nonsense on me. This is a true comparison. If you don't understand that Legal and Moral are not necessarily synonymous then I question the foundation of your morality. Regarding the death penalty, no my friend, its not "funny." My views are actually consistent. In both cases I advocate against the killing of INNOCENT life. Those who murder innocents ARE justly due the death penalty. I DO advocate for raising children to not be financially prohibitive which is why I'm against democrat policies.

My nephew , the son of a notorious South African policeman- turned- bank robber, would have been aborted if my baby sister, who was only 17, went through with the illegal abortion he gave her a pile oc money for. She had a whopping holiday with the money and my parents raised the boy. The father was later shot and killed in Florida USA. Today that baby is a gospel musician, pastors a church and has a strong prophetic ministry. We kill great potential when babies are aborted.

Ugh. I was up until 3 am writing a paper on abortion in my ethics class. I was dreading it all week. Took a lot of prayer to get though it, but I believe God helped inspire my words. Praying it reaches anyone who reads it.
Holy crap. As a 36yo male who can watch Saving Private Ryan without blinking an eye that abortion doctor wrecked me emotionally. As the father of a stillborn daughter at 40 weeks knowing the pain of holding my dead infant daughter I simply can’t wrap my head around this. I’ve never heard abortion described as genocide but now that he’s said it there really isn’t any other word for it is there?
I was abused as a child by my mother. As I got older and was able to fight back my mother had my brother beat me up. There were times when I've had 2 black eyes. I even saw stars once after he punched me. It's a real thing. It was very bad. My mother always told me the reason we had problems was because of me. I grew up believing I was worthless as my mother always told me. We were not allowed to talk about it outside of the home. It is very common for the abuser to do that. My mother even put me in a mental institution when I was 13. After I became a Christian at 15 the abuse got worse. I have had 2 friends tell me they knew I was abused but couldn't do anything because they were just kids. After reading a book about alanon (father was an alcoholic) I realized Nothing was my fault. It was my mothers issues dealing with my fathers alcoholism. I confronted my mother when I was 40 and asked her why she abused me. In tears she apologized and I forgave her. 3 years before she died I led her to the Lord. Thanks for the verse, I will always remember it. Please pray for my brothers Salvation. Even though he still believes everything he was told about me when he was young. and refuses to talk to me, I know we can have a good relationship if he accepts Christ.
@@JenniferKokoski In 2006 we found out my mother had stage 4 cancer. My brother and his wife were supposed to take care of her until her death. Before he took her in he told me they planned on putting her in a nursing home. I couldn't allow him to do that. I ask her to come stay with me. My brother had power of Atty and could put her in the nursing home unless something changed. She didn't want to take the POA away from him because she thought he could manage the money better. I explained that he would use her money to put her in a nursing home. I took her to the bank and put all of her money in both our names. I then took her to a lawyer and got medical POA. When my brother found out he was furious. My brother never realized the truth of what was going on when we were kids. He still believes I was the cause of everything. I am trash in his eyes. After I brought my mother home with me (a different state), all we talked about was Heaven, God, Jesus, the Bible and Salvation. Even thought I thought I led my mother to the Lord, she didn't want to talk about it for the last 3 years. I really wasn't sure. One day (while I was taking care of her) she said to me, I want you to talk to your brother because I want him to go to Heaven too. I knew right then, she had trusted Christ. There is so much more to this story, too much to type. God arranged it for me to bring my mother home with me so I could know for sure she had trusted Christ.
@@carolgoering6585 I can’t imagine the mental trauma you had to go through, that would’ve left me with some ptsd. Yet..somehow you found space for forgiveness. You remind me of my mom she’s too kind and people take advantage of your kindness. I’m the type that will cut the cancer out of my life instead of trying to cure it. Over the years I’m trying the forgiveness ways but I find it so difficult for me, as those resentment never fully goes away. I also find that people will never appreciate you if you hand deliver them help. I’m at the point now where I truly don’t care about anything- maybe this is the older wiser thing? 😆. But im still learning as I go and seeing kind individuals like you and my mother is what grounds me and humbles me. Thanks for sharing.
My mother is/was a type 1 diabetic in the late 70s when I was born. My grandmother begged my mom to abort me because being pregnant was literally killing her and putting me at risk as well. My mom said she couldn’t do it, she wouldn’t go against god even it meant me living and her dying. Needless to say I was their only child...but! 43 years later she has 2 wonderful grandchildren that love her dearly and I’m thankful she chose obedience to Christ and to life! Thanks mom!!
Aborition is bad enough, but your story is one that amplifies one of the other issues surrounding abortion, which is the fact that expecting mothers are being told abortion is their best option. I think many women who end up getting abortions these days only do so because they are more or less pressured into it. How much longer will it even remain a true choice? Seems crazy today, but should we really be surprised if in our lifetimes abortions are not even a choice in many cases? Instead, they are government or doctor ordered. Eventually we'll probably be able to detect many medical conditions before birth. Imagine this, you are pregnant and you go in for a legally obligated test. The test confirms the child has autism. The government may not go as far to say that you must abort, but they tell you that since you know the child has autism that you will never be eligable for any government assistence. Insurance companies can/will refuse to cover medical coverage. In other words, they "force" you to abort by using extreme pressue techniques. The Biden administration is already trying to force a vaccinate or get tested weekly for covid on people. If this is held up or is implemented in the future for other matters, how far of a stretch is it really for women to be mandated to get monthly pregnancy tests and, if positive, get the baby tested before birth? Refuse to get tested, well then you can never claim that child for tax credits, medical insurance, government assistence, etc. Keep in mind, the majority of women whom get abortions tend to be low-income to begin with. Financial pressure to abort for many of these women would almost surely push them over the edge on the "decision".
This is a point that wants shouting from the rooftops. Abortion is not just killing the child in the womb but also all those offspring down through future generations that the child would have produced. "He who saves a single life, saves the world entire."
Can you imagine if we treated kids with terminal illnesses this way? Instead of donating to and funding children’s hospitals and supporting organizations like Make a Wish, we just off a kid the second they’re diagnosed just because “he’ll be suffering” or “she’s going to die in a few years anyway”? Can you imagine how disgusting that would be? And yet, this is the logic we apply to the unborn.
My mom had people on her Facebook telling her that she should be pro abortion because my sister is autistic and has an autoimmune disorder, many told her that there should be tests to determine potential health problems then if there's potential abort as the "merciful choice" for both the child and society.....
Most of those charities are towards kids that have a chance of recovering and leading a normal life. Also already born unhealthy children don’t endanger the lives and bodily integrity of their parents again by staying alive.
@@rydout My point is, there are several things that set an abortion apart from killing a born baby, which is obviously unacceptable. I would be pro life if states made exceptions for cases of rape or incest, and also pregnancies that are unusually high risk for the mother (this includes tweens and young teens who are more likely to suffer permanent injury from giving birth or even just carrying the embryo to term.
I know this is an older video but I need to share this... My husband is adopted. He was born to a man who had no clue he existed and died in 1990 still never knowing he had a son and a woman who was schizophrenic where the voices told her to kill her baby. My husband's adopted parents were not able to have their own children. He was loved and cared for and even more than that he was WANTED. He is the oldest of 4 adopted siblings. He has a brother and 2 sisters. They were poor but not living in the streets. Even when my in-laws died they left nothing but debt. But they left a legacy of love that is seen every day in my children that would never have been born if my husband had been aborted.
I wouldn't be here if my father hadn't been adopted and neither would my siblings. My own children wouldn't exist, either. I also wouldn't have my best friend if she'd been aborted instead of adopted.
My son wouldn’t be here, had my ex-husband been aborted. Family members tried convincing her to end the pregnancy. Thanks to his mother following her heart, 28 years later I gave birth to my son, who is now serving our country in the US Navy. How many geniuses, scientists, servants of God have been murdered in the name of convenience?
It drives me insane when these leftists cry about miscarriages like Chrissy Tiegan did. Umm? It’s not a human though, right? Why cry? At least be logically consistent.
of course we have (but we are not allowed to say it)but here goes, a females hypocrisy, aborting a clump of cells , compared to a miscarriage of a wanted baby , seems like a life depends on how mom is feeling that day
Of course we have. For decades. I started working with pro life groups in 1986, in high school. I thought the battle was hard then. This is just more evil, all the time. My College roommate and my best friend went to work for National Right to Life in the mid 1990s, I have no idea how they did it every single day. We were not exactly treated kindly by the pro abortion folks who followed us. Thank you Mike, we need new people in every generation, because fighting for the right to LIFE - the one that actually is in the Constitution! Not the "right" to kill your child in the womb. That fight is exhausting in every way. But science and technology are our friends. The ability to see better, clearer images, the fact that yes, life does begin at conception - science is backing this up now. Women who have made the choice to end that life need to know that God loves them. That Jesus died for them. And there is nothing God can not forgive. We also need to care for Mothers and babies *after* the baby is born. Volunteer at a crisis pregnancy place, help in every real way possible.
Fetus is Latin for baby. Of course, the sick, evil grabler types (Biden, Clinton, Podesta, etc.) take the term as it sounds: feed us. They drink the blood of aborted babies.
My first and third pregnancy were miscarriages. I hope you end up having a baby bundle of joy one of these days 💕 There is legitimate grief that follows miscarriages and to think that people think there are people who dehumanize babies in utero angers me, too. That grief I had was for the children I never got to meet or hold was for real lives. Blessings 💕
Same here. I've been trying for 12 years now. I got pregnant 8 months ago completely by surprise and then had a very early miscarriage. The instant connection and deep intense love I felt for my baby is like nothing else I've ever experienced. I've grieved for months. Up until a week ago I was still crying every single day. I had anxiety/panic attacks, etc. I can't imagine ever choosing to end my child's life. I would have done anything to save my baby if I could. It's just so upsetting to see women kill their own children and write notes like these. I hope you're doing okay. I just wanted to reply so you know that you're not alone.
I miscarried my first pregnancy and it devastated me. All I could think of was all those women who kill otherwise healthy babies just because they don't want them. It made me so angry. Thankfully I was able to have full term babies after. My heart and prayers go out to you.
My spouse and I went through three miscarriages. One, the egg wasn’t viable, another didn’t make it after one month, and another didn’t make it (I cannot remember why). Each time, it hurt the family. My spouse had a hard time getting over it while I wonder what kind of child they would have been. When I see my youngest, it makes me sad because there was supposed to be another, when I think of my oldest I think of the conversation we had to have about miscarriages and why there won’t be another baby. Watching my wife cry over the miscarriages is heartbreaking because each one was a child we won’t meet.
The positive thing we can glean from this is all the “progressive” Christian churches seem to be hemorrhaging members but the traditional ones are growing.
I'm a Christian and this Confuses me greatly: Christ Himself did not seem to support the legislation of morality. If that were the case he would have agreed with the mob to stone the woman for violating moral law at the time. He would have agreed with the Pharisees and Sadducees who constantly tried to control the masses by legislating morality. No- in fact The Lord seems to have always supported the freedom of man to either please God or commit Sin. Sin that, unless repented from, will result in Hell fire. In other words, morality and societal legislation are two roads that should not cross. If you believe they should, then why are you not pushing for fornicators and adulterers to be prosecuted legally?? Where is the fight against greed if Money is the root of all evil? Abortion is an atrocious Sin. It is. But Sin will be dealt with in its due time. Alcohol, which has led to more deaths (violence, murder, rape, abuse, adultery, fornication, ill conceived children, drunk driving, etc) gets a pass...no one is stomping in the streets about this because that hits a little too close to home.. so lets single out the young women who are considering abortion?...this seems to be the height of hypocrisy.. Please tell me where in the bible the following conclusions run counter to Christ's actions: 1) Christians have the right to follow Jesus and their reward will be Heaven. 2) Non believers have the freedom to not follow Jesus and their reward will be Hell. 3) Neither of these have to do with laws that govern people. Thoughts?
I spent most of my childhood feeling unwanted and even hated. I felt bullied by both classmates and family members, picked last for every game or sport, and felt pretty worthless. I grew up raised on Christ, but even felt judged by most of the other church growers. In fifth grade I was forced to join the softball team, because we didn't have enough players otherwise, but still no one wanted to practice with me, I was forced to practice alone. One sunny day I threw the ball high into the air, playing catch with myself, because even though I did not want to play, I still wanted to help the team win. The sun got in my eyes and I was hit in the face. The teacher who finally came to me said I had been hunched over the ground for about 5mins before he noticed the blood on the ground. 5 mins of everyone playing around me thinking it was just some cry for attention and ignoring me. By pro choice logic, I should never have been allowed to live. Please watch this video and be better. We have to stop thinking this way. Just because a choice exists does not make it right. Be better, choose better, and stop coming up with selfish excuses for murder. I love a good honest life now working in healthcare. My family and I have never been closer, all has been forgiven and I'm doing fine. So no, I don't think it would have been better if I was aborted. Give life a chance, because life will always find a way
Well according to her logic then my mom shouldn't exist and SHE IS THE MOST AMAZING person I have ever met and my role model in life. She came from two teenage parents who both abandoned her, she was neglected, and then her grandparents raised her in a trailer park doing the best they could. Guess what, she put herself through college, became a teacher, and is the best mom in the world. I wouldn't exist without her and she shaped me through her resilience, grace, and strength. She's the rock of my family.
Also, Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” God knows you before you are in the womb. Who gives any human the right to intervene in Gods plans. Jesus also was an embryo.
@@aeasthouse316 The bible is a claim, not credible evidence. And it also constantly contradicts itself with describing the character of god and the stories not lining up with reality nor scientific studies. On top of that, even church members are constantly disagreeing with one another because the bible has been rewritten to many times and open to way too much interpretation.
@@azimmermann7357 rape victims acount for .1% of all abortions in the United States and .05% of of all abortions or due to Incest. 99%+ of all the abortions in America are being used as birth control all because woman just don't want to have a baby they made. Murder should never be an option. If you don't want a child when you can't afford that child keep your legs closed or use birth control, condoms are cheap, there are sponges, sperm aside, woman can get fitting for a Diafram. It's 2021 for christ sake if you can't use any of the precautions to not get knocked up then you need to take responsibility for your mistakes. That does not include murdering and dismembering innocent babies.
I remember when I was a teenager how shocked I was when the "grownups" and people I looked up to worked so hard to pressure me into having an abortion. I prayed to the Lord to save my baby from me in case I wasn't strong enough to resist them. The Lord saved both of us. I named my son Samuel, like Hannah did hers. Remember, she said, "Because I have asked for him from the Lord."
As a mother who conceived in rape in poverty, joblessness and in freshman year of college and whom raised an incredibly successful and happy adult, I thank you for stepping up as a man to protect humans whom are all wanted by someone.
"and whom raised an incredibly successful and happy adult"! NO, you didn't. You cannot be a whom in a sentence structured the way you did it. You are a "WHO". Where did you people learn English?
@@Demun1649 Wow. You really showed me. Every single sentence you wrote is not only a lame attempt at an insult but grammatically incorrect and structured like you - wrong. First, you need ellipses in the first sentence before using the opening quotation mark since it's a partial quote. The exclamation point is the improper use of the ending punctuation. There is no exclamation point here. If the exclamation point was used correctly, it would be placed inside the quote. However, since you didn't even quote the quote correctly, it's a moot point. Second, NO in all caps is the improper way to spell no in this instance. It would be considered a misspelling. All caps is only used in some acronyms. You have also used the comma after NO incorrectly. The third sentence also is incorrectly structured. The proper sentence structure would be: You cannot use whom as you did in this sentence. (Which by the way is not true. I can give you a who vs. whom grammar lesson another day. Let's first help you learn how to properly structure a basic English sentence. You did not structure one sentence correctly in your comment.) You are a "WHO". Again, using all caps in this word is incorrect. You're also using quotation marks around this word incorrectly. If you're referring to me as the World Health Organization then all caps would be correct. However, quotes would still be incorrect. Furthermore, this is factually incorrect. I am a woman not a "WHO". Likewise, this would be classified as hate speech as you misgendered me and failed to respect my pronouns. I was hoping you would at least make some reparation in your final sentence. Alas, no. I am not a people so this sentence not only is factually incorrect but grammatically incorrect. If I was a people, the sentence would properly read as follows: Where did you people learn English from? Additionally, you committed another hate crime by me misgendering and failing to respect my collective pronoun preference. I earned my first degree as a double major in journalism/communications at Syracuse University. I studied there with my son on my hip and worked a full-time job. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA and as co-editor of the newspaper which won multiple awards that year. I have had a nationally recognized award-winning journalism and marketing career and am currently pursuing my master's degree with a full scholarship at an Ivy League university. Your comment to a woman like me is beyond laughable and you look like an absolute fool. Good try, little one. Maybe next time. Most Precious Blood of jesus Christ, cover your son who has sold himself to the serpent who is crushed by the bare heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven. Ave Maria.
The "location" aspect of it gets my blood boiling, too. There was an abortion doctor who I think went to jail because he would server the spines of the babies who survived with scissors. That was rightfully seen as murder. But ten seconds earlier it would be called healthcare. How can anyone be okay with that?
I was born into a world where my parents didn’t want me and ditched me into an orphanage at 1 year old I was adopted by Christian missionaries and I found Jesus Christ I love him and have dedicated my life to Him Ditched by my Parents chosen by God Thank you Lord Saviour and Merciful Father
Your story is very similar to mine. My birth mom was struck by lightning, and the lightning killed my mother and left me blind. I suffered so much abuse in an orphanage until I was adopted and was brought to America at the age of 20. My biological family left me because of my disability, and my father had left my mom and said I wasn't his child way before I was even born. so, it's only because I've been made in the image of God I find value, worth, and purpose. I live in America and am eager to go back to Rwanda to help blind and visually impaired people who are either orphans or poor like I was.
Brothers and sisters, you're all an inspiration. May our Father God Almighty continue to shine His Face toward you all and greetings from your brother in Australia. Amen.
We were very poor. I remember when I started to work at the age of 16 years old I had only 2 jeans and 2 shirts, plus my mom was 15 years old when she got pregnant. According to this woman I don't deserve to be in this world... their self-righteousness is actually selfish and evil.
I'm only one minute in, and I figured you lived in CA. As a lifelong Angeleno, I can say that you are truly brave. Many of us pro-lifers feel that we don't have a voice, since freedom of speech only applies to those on the side of the enemy. I would never risk my car with that sticker. You're a brave soul!
As someone who was in foster care where I was abused and a home where I was neglected, I love being told that these things meant I shouldn’t have been born. And when I bring this up, plenty of pro-choice people have been happy to tell me that they do wish I had been aborted-simply because I am pro-life. Yet, I’m the hateful one 🤷🏻♀️
God bless you for surviving that horror and praise Him for bringing you through it. Abortion allows many demons into a person's life, especially of murder and pride. No wonder they reacted so cruelly to your story, that is just pure, unfiltered evil. All they can do is project.
My parents didn't want me or love me- and yes, I'm very sure and serious about this- but if I wasn't here, the people I have saved over a twenty year nursing career may not be here. My life has value to all of humanity because I care and take care of others.
@@Nsinger998 that might be a bit hyperbolic. Yes, God loves us, but saying the world couldn't exist without us may be a tad much. We dont want too big an ego.
This is what I would write back: Dear Former Embryo, The time to determine if your child is wanted, if you can financially support it and if you can bring it into a loving/nurturing environment is BEFORE YOU CREATE AN EMBRYO!
Their argument for that is the case of rape which is of course ridiculous because this reason behind an abortion has been for a very small percentage of abortions. We need to know how to respond to their arguments.
In 1979, I was recently divorced with 3 small children and had a brief fling, that resulted in pregnancy. I had planned to give the baby up for adoption because I could barely support myself and my children, but about 3 months before my baby was born things started working out in my life and I was able to keep my baby. Abortion never crossed my mind.
One thing that struck me watching the development of Baby Olivia. Often times the same people who are pro-choice and have no trouble killing human embryos, also refuse to eat eggs because that is killing an animal. Eggs contain the embryos of chickens. I have a friend who says she 'won't eat anything that had a mother' so she is vegan. She is anti-death penalty because we shouldn't kill even serial killers. But she is completely pro-choice. This is just unfathomable to me.
Even though being a vegan and pro-abortion represents a gross misalignment of morals, you slightly misunderstand why most vegans don't eat eggs. It has nothing to do with what's in the egg, which is UNfertilized. Vegans refuse to eat eggs because of the cruelty the hens endure to produce them.
This is one of the best pro-life videos I’ve ever seen. The video of the former-abortionist describing the different abortion procedures was heart-breaking. I was weeping while watching it. At one point, I didn’t think I could hear anymore. I felt physically ill. Break our hearts for what breaks yours, Lord. Thank you Mr. Winger for being a light and exposing the darkness and humanity’s deep need for Christ.
Same. I kept pausing and sobbing. I actually saw that same video years ago but this time my 10 month old baby was sitting right next to me being as sweet and cute as could be, and I just can’t handle the thought of anything hurting her like that.
@@lordimyre3685 But if each person helped someone? Or stopped voting for the party that blocks legislation that would aid those that are less fortunate.
I had a Daughter at 16 yo! I married her Father at that same age. We were poor but we grew up and figured it out and we’re on our own. We are still married almost 24 years now. We gave her the life we both wish we had growing up. Stable, full of love with her needs met. She was sassy and rebellious as a teen but now she is in her early 20’s and she’s hard working, sweet and we are now good friends. She has a toddler son and he is the light and joy in our life. We just saw him today and spoiled him and hugged and kissed him before he left with his Momma. What a gift! We thank God for our Family and the experience it gave us to be closer to Him having a keener understanding of the heart of a Father.
I find myself almost crying (and crying) a lot listening to the stories of God’s Grace. I encourage you to have your voice heard more. May god bless you.
When I got pregnant I was devastated and completely unprepared for motherhood. I didn't want to be pregnant, didn't want to be a mother, didn't want to feel ashamed that I had committed adultery (was not married). I tried to deny what was happening to me and even considered getting rid of my baby. I was horrified by what I had done with my life, and I didn't think I could move forward. My baby was not loved or wanted when she was conceived, except by God. She had no money at birth and I had no income. My boyfriend at the time was emotionally and psychologically abusive to me and hardly ever changed her diaper. Thankfully my family and friends embraced me and my daughter, but if they had not, I don't know what I would have done. I struggled through abuse before and after she was born, because I chose to have sex with someone I barely knew and I didn't think anything bad would happen. I'm not looking for pity or sympathy. I say this to contradict the messed up thinking which justifies killing parts of ourselves to make life convenient and to cover up our other sins; our shame. To say that human love, money and safety/security are the only things that give us value and worth is to 1) reject God, 2) condemn to death millions of people walking this earth, and 3) miss the beauty of God's grace healing our brokenness. We live in a fallen world. Every one of us will experience a lack of love, finances, and/or security at some point in our lives. That doesn't mean we should die. It doesn't mean we have no value and would be better off to never live. It doesn't make us simply victims. It makes us human. It's an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power and love. It's a chance for us to learn and grow. Our worth, as he said, comes from God alone, not anything we have or do. Even death cannot take that away. Life has already begun. Whoever chooses to end it is killing a human, no matter where or how small they are. Life is worth living. No matter what. Thank you Mike for making this video and sharing your story with us!
Just imagine if the abolitionists of old had said, “I am personally opposed to slavery, but I allow each person to choose their own position.” Slavery would have never ended under this dangerously permissive attitude. And yet this mirrors the modern attitude of those who hold a pro-choice view.
The prediction thing gets overlooked too much. I wasn't wanted. I was abused, neglected, undernourished, and have similar stories to Mike's chewed up helmet story. I had to stop playing with the neighbor kids, because I was weak, and dizzy from malnourishment. I could never have predicted the lives that God has touched through me, the children I was able to give hope to, adults I was able to encourage. Yeah, I suffered, and still bear some level of emotional burden, but God gives it meaning, and a purpose, and uses it to help others.
I'm not religious but I do believe on the whole it's a good thing. Purpose and guidance are powerful things in life. I believe religion gives you the best of those things. You can look to other systems but those systems will always fail you. Government, social justice and other types of groups. None of those things serve a higher purpose. Humanly wants.
I love how God used her note for good! It was the catalyst for you to make this video. I pray that this video reaches millions and changes hearts and mind.
Yes! I can't believe I've never really sat downwith my note 13 year old daughter about this but I'm showing her this video and adding it to the my greatest sermon playlist.
@@HarryNicNicholas because being made in the image of God is the ONLY thing that gives you true value. Otherwise you are just a clump of random atoms, created out of randomness with no more value than a rock or an ant. But the reality is you are loved by God and created in His image and have value because of it.
@@HarryNicNicholas We don't even have to appeal to God on this one. As Felix said, Most atheists believe that objective morals and duties are a reality as much as Christians do. 99.9% of people believe murder is an objectively wrong thing. Murder, in this case, we shall define as one taking the innocent life of another human being. Tell me abortion isn't murder, and we'll get out of your business ;)
@@frenchtoast2319 they agree because they were given a moral-conscience by God, whether they chose to believe that or not. An atheist has no system to justify right/wrong good/bad in their world-view. If we're all just stardust bumping into each other and our thoughts are just chemicals fizzing, there is no standard for them to justify what they think is right/wrong, since nothing has value or purpose.
46:00 My sister is married to a Chinese man. Sometimes they go to visit his family, and his grandfather (who is in his 80s) will talk about memories that haunt him. One is of a time when he worked for the government in his village, and he was told to go execute some "counter revolutionaries." They were his neighbors that he had known all of his life, and he went to their house and shot them. He says he knew they weren't dangerous. They were just regular people, but he was doing what he was told to do... and it still haunts him 50 years later. We so need Jesus! If you read this, please pray that my brother-in-law will be able to share Jesus with his grandfather before he dies.
I pray God will use him to share the Gospel with his elderly grandfather. The fact that he feels 'haunted' by what he did is a Good sign. I also hope many believers will see your post and lift him in prayer!
She seems to think that a baby's value is determined by how much its parent wants it. Literally "if your parents don't consider you a blessing, you deserve death."
Yes, they're trying to fit economical values into humans, to say they're worth to live or not... These is the 1 0 1 basic for eugenics, featured from the 3rd reich and perfectioned from pro-killing.
@@jennifersimpson4067 If her “wanting/not wanting” a baby has higher priority than the life of another human, than yeah, she has questionable character. Especially when it’s not really just a choice between kill or keep. Releasing a child for adoption is one of the most loving, courageous things a woman can do.
My parents fought pretty much everyday of my life. I watched fight so many times. They literally hated each other. Home life was a struggle and at times I HATED that I was born. Nothing about my childhood was ideal. In fact it sucked mostly. Do you know what would have sucked even more? If they killed me before i even had a chance. Yes, childhood was a struggle. Now, at 44yo, I am successful and have 2 beautiful children of my own. One of which has Cerebral Palsy and is 100% dependant. His life has been a struggle every second of every day. Guess what would have been worse for him? Yep, if we had chose to kill him before he even had a chance. He, even though disabled, has a life worth living and he finds reasons to smile and be happy. Abortion has never been nor never will be anything other than pure selfishness and hatred.
I had one of the most traumatic, abusive, neglected childhoods you can think up and for many years I thought my life was a curse. I know now at 45 that I was beyond blessed for all the lord showed me and taught me through those very difficult days. I see the world from all different perspectives, I have love and compassion that is overwhelming at times because I know how true heartache feels, through that it brought me closer to other and able to see them outside of my own perspective and views.. I see people who have never faced a challenge or struggle and their selfish, arrogant and self absorbed..I’m blessed!!
Thank you for persevering and praising God for what He taught you through that dark valley. I'm currently experiencing familial conflict because a relative claims to want to have our families spend time together, but also thinks I'm cursed (due to being chronically ill) and is concerned it will wear off on their children if we interact much. It's baffling and hurtful since I'm unlikely to be able to have my own children and looked forward to helping with nieces and nephews, and frankly it's a little offensive, too. But the worst part is that they can't see that I'm a better person for having become so sick! God has humbled me, and through the example of others helping and loving me in my illness I learned how to love and help people, too. I know that life is fleeting and precious, I know that God is the gracious sustainer, I love to encourage others and help random people whenever possible. I wouldn't have known any of that if I had been healthy enough to keep chasing my own ambitions. Thank you, God for having a better path for me! So I just wanted to say thanks for verbalizing that you too, realized your extreme hardships weren't a curse, but were the vehicle for eventual good. Praise God!
I love the assumption that it's impossible for someone to come to enjoy life if their childhood was lacking. "Well, i don't think they'd live well, so why live at all?" is such a nihilistic world view, and it really explains where they're coming from. No hope, no dreams, no real life.
The Govs are trying to take all of our firearms now before the next big genocide. The flu shots didn't kill enough people. Robots will be taking over most employment opportunities. Children of today have no future unless they are born in the elite class and have the obedience of the low IQ military/police to serve them. There's only so many resources in the world and the elites want most of it for themselves as they gain more power by the day. If you have a boy he will be a tax slave. If you have a girl she will be brainwashed to be an unproductive single mom or abortion junkie. Or sell herself for money on OnlyFans because most real jobs pay so little. I have no hope. My dreams only exist in fictional escapism from my dreadful life. And I can't afford a "real life." The only thing I can afford is gas and food to get to work where more than 50% of my time and energy is stolen from me in taxation. Living under constant camera surveillance and pigs in uniform farming traffic tickets from the poor who have expired tags. This is no world for a future generation. Then there's the chance your boy will be forced into a draft to go die for war mongering profiteering. Very few people can afford to home school as well. Fathers have no parental rights which destroys the family unit because of the laws. Fathers are just child support/alimony targets/ATMs. Give the elites nothing. Spend nothing. If bovine were smart enough to realize they are domesticated for humans benefit would they still reproduce willingly? Our entire world is one large Animal Farm evolving into 1984. The future for 99.99% are work prisons and hiding underground from the Govs/nuclear radiation/Pharma tyranny. I don't even want to talk to women because I don't have Johnny Depp wealth backing me up in court. But don't worry because women still get access to my hard work in Gov benefits to freeze their eggs. Clown planet. All the while the elites are coming for your homes, firearms, vehicles, gold, freedom, everything. CCP is the world's future. You live in a prison facility working long days with suicide nets, armed guards, and cameras in your tiny cell you have to pay rent to live in.
Thank you. It is hard for men in that we can never be faced with pregnancy and the fear that comes with it. But we do innately understand that life is precious (yeah, yeah, we are morons about so many other things).
Thank you for not being on the "hate men" wagon or the "it's the woman's body so men must be silent" wagon. Yes, many women have been hurt by men in various ways; some of those ways have led to pregnancies. Incest and rape are horrible things. Abandoning a pregnant teen girlfriend is a horrible thing. Those things still don't justify punishing an innocent person for another's wrongs. A baby is innocent. I know a man whose girlfriend's cousin took her out of town on a "vacation". In reality she aborted that man's child. He had no knowledge of her pregnancy and she gave that man no choice. Sadly, men are denied a choice of their children living. A baby is the child of two parents - not the property of one. It is not a parasite or a fetus; it's a child. HUGE RESPECT TO YOU FOR LOVING AND RESPECTING MEN TRYING TO DEFEND UNBORN BABIES from being dehumanized, devalued, and having their right to life denied. Slavery is wrong. The Holocaust is wrong. Abortion is wrong.
I really can understand how people think like that. I was born completely unexpected. My mom was in her late 40s and already had three kids and was told she would never have another kid and 19 years later I was born. My dad became an alcoholic the first 16 years of my life so I was born into abuse and they were definitely not financially ready for me but yet I thank God every for what he has done in my life and where it is going. My mom could of got an abortion because they said I wouldn't be healthy and I am. They told my mom she had cancer and refused to take treatment because If she did it would kill me and by the time I'd be born the cancer wouldn't be treatable anymore and by the grace of God it was never cancer to begin with. According to that logic I'm not a blessing and in the end my mom and dad both told me I was. Abortion is nothing short of murder and if my mom had gone through with it I wouldn't be here to tell people my testimony. Jesus is so amazing and despite all I believe he died and resurrected for me so that we don't have to perish but have ever lasting life.
I wanted to share my story about abortion and adoption. I had gotten pregnant after a divorce and I was planning on getting an abortion. My older daughter had overheard my plan and cried uncontrollably. She knew that it was wrong and she begged me not to kill the baby. She was only 12 years old at the time. I broke down and realized that she was right and in my heart as a Christian I knew I could not go through with it. I ended up giving my only son up for adoption to a loving family that could not have children of their own. He has been a wonderful blessing for them and for me. We just celebrated his 19th birthday last week. I am so grateful for my daughter and the fact that I put aside my pride and gave birth to him. I thank the Lord for his life. For those who have had an abortion or have thought about it there is hope for forgiveness.
That was my first thought too. It shows the power of rationalization of sin to take a person down a very evil path. It's heartbreaking, because the only path to healing is through repentance: agreeing with God, acknowledging the sin, and thus being made capable of receiving grace. May God cause the blinders to fall from her eyes.
Understand that we don't necessarily know that. Some people have been so indoctrinated by leftest talking points that they don't have or need a reason to believe them. They've just been played by the media/propoganda, education institutions, and evil itself. Forgive them, they don't know what they're doing.
It’s very very rare for a person to come back from beliefs as ghastly as these. Think about that person in your life who believes that it’s abuse to disallow a child to have a sex change. “Yeah… I know I’m sorry about that one, I just didn’t think about what happens for the next 80 years after the genital mutilation was complete, give me a break I’ve been busy” A person would more likely ,spontaneously combust rather than destroy their sense of self with one admission.
I'm pretty sure that EVERY human being is born into a life of "suffering" and "death".. Does she know that there is no such thing as a perfect life? Does she know that every person dies? Also, if she knows that death is a "bad" thing, then how can she support abortion? You're right that they don't use logic when coming to these conclusions.
Ikr, this is basically eugenics logic and the demonic whispers of utilitarianism. If a few will make the many suffer, slay the few to amuse the many. The individual matters not, only the many and all that matters is one's happiness. If happiness is not achieved, one must act towards it, regardless of what one must do so long as happiness outweighs the grief done in accomplishing such things. Nazis could literally just use the argument that jews bring more grief to society than good, so killing them is not just permissible but even moral.
@@ceasedesist9676 Wise words. From observation (my family is strongly pro choice) this argument is often underpinned by one (or both) of two grievances. Either against the ‘ patriarchy’ ( ie bad men have been using women’s fertility against them for centuries and have become corrupted by that power) or against humanity itself (too many people so no more rhinos/ sharks/ coral reefs etc). Read a recent article by the feminist author Caitlin Moran in the UK ‘Times’ which broadly combined the argument of the note writer here with a heavy ‘it’s really tough being a mother so whether I want to become one is none of your business’ undertow. Ultimately, however illogical ad hominem arguments may be, they can be surprisingly difficult to refute.
I saw a newborn once. I'm used to seeing babies after they've been out for a while. This baby was 3 days old. I was like, he looks kinda squished. His mother was like yep, he's new.
That note is just such evil logic... Just replace the word "embryo" with ‘life’ to get another perspective. 1. 'Life' not wanted or loved = Should be killed. 2. 'Life' not being financially supported = Should be killed. 3. 'Life' in an abusive environment = Should be killed. How is that if any of these 3 points were used to justify killing a life 'OUTSIDE' of the womb, it would be called evil and barbaric... yet when 'IN' the womb, any of these 3 points are used to justify killing life.
@@2l84me8 True. Unless the overall goals is to give women less rights than a corpse. You can't use organs from a corpse to save a child without permission from that person prior to their death.
@@jennifersimpson4067 In most cases, the "embryo", or child, in the woman's body did not get there without her permission. Can we talk about the vast majority of abortions where this is the case (rather than the rare case in which the woman did not have a choice in getting pregnant)?
@@Eclectifying why does the labor of woman mean nothing to people who want to force the birth of unwanted children? Woman's work has always been so underestimated.
Back in the day when this first started my favorite bumper sticker said - "If it ain't a baby, you ain't pregnant" Crude improper English but right to the point.
@@who2807 the word ain't is improper English. Not that I have anything against it but the proper words would have been isn't and aren't. If it isn't a baby, then you aren't pregnant.
@@luckytahlula6515 "the proper words would have been isn't and aren't. If it isn't a baby, then you aren't pregnant." In that case, the anti-choice people should have no problems with the woman having an unwanted growth removed from her body.
My mom almost aborted me. I was the unplanned, “extra” kid. And yes, I was unloved, emotionally and physically abused, and my family had endless financial troubles. And when I was younger I thought well, I guess it would have been fine if I was aborted, after all I wouldn’t exist and therefore I wouldn’t know the difference, I can take it (life and existence) or leave it. And I thought this for many years and was pro choice as a result. After all, what’s the harm if the baby simply never gained rational thought and therefore doesn’t learn of its own loss? It wasn’t until one day I looked at my husband and thought, I’m glad I was born, even if it were just to love him. I’m sure I would think the same if/when God blesses us with children. And that’s when I realized what was missing my whole life prior, was the notion that *I* mattered, that there are things only *I* could do and can do, and that I *can* make a difference in the world, however small. I slowly became pro-life after that epiphany, and found God along the way as well. And I think that’s actually the psyche, deep down, for a lot of pro choicers, the feeling that they actually don’t matter at all, and that nobody does in the “grand scheme of things”. They have no meaning in life beyond self gratification, no identity, no purpose. (Also why they derive so much meaning and comfort through gender, race and sexuality labels) For me, it took gaining a sense of purpose and looking beyond myself and any shallow “meaning of life” to find out what it means to be pro-life. I hope a lot of these people can find their way there as well.
This isn't rational analysis though. It's just blind emotion. Pro-life isn't the position that people should find meaning in their lives. Pro-life is the position that abortion should be illegal and is equivalent to murder. Pro-choice is the position that people should have legal control over their own reproduction and that women should not be violently forced to bring every pregnancy they have to completion. It's easy to see that an absolutist pro-life position is irrational. You start from the extreme cases, and work your way in in your analysis. If a woman is raped and gets pregnant, it's monstrous to suggest she should be legally forced to carry the pregnancy to term, but that's the pro-life position. It's morally indefensible. What this tells you though is that the abortion issue isn't as open and shut as pro-lifers would want you to think. They _want_ a simple solution to the dilemma but there _just_ isn't one. It's a form of reality denial and fanaticism. I can appreciate people who want to promote the idea of the value of the unborn but their zealot attitudes - usually based on nothing but religious belief - on this point are downright dangerous.
@@superdog797 "You start from the extreme cases and work your way into your analysis" You started off with rape as a reason for pro-choice. Rape and incest are a very small percentage of abortions being conducted. And to top it off women who have been raped or a victim of incest are rarely heard from in this debate. I watched 2 full documentaries in favor of abortion, and you want to know how many women were interviewed who had an abortion due to rape? 0. The documentaries are on hbo max if you want to watch them. True cases are not black or white. It's the solution to these cases that are hard lined. You do not get to kill a baby. Period. Now if we want to discuss getting help, resources, convictions etc for the "grey" areas fine. Let's do that. I do have a question though. Why do people get so upset at pro-life posters that show aborted babies? If it has absolutely no value, and is just "ending a pregnancy" than you should pay it the same mind as you do any slasher film, or graphic Halloween decoration. Yet these posters get severe back lash. Why? Is it because you are now confronted with what is actually being done to that "fetus" and you just can't stand the thought of it, so you try and silence the truth so you can sleep better at night with your "clump of cells" just a "fetus" terminologies? And what exactly do you mean "violently forced to bring a pregnancy to completion"? And last is the religious argument. Science says that it is a human life. It is no longer just the woman's body. At the very least be honest enough to say that you believe a woman can end someone else's life in favor of her own (if you want to get flowery with words).
@@superdog797 I’m not here to offer a “rational analysis” on the issue of abortion. And I didn’t say that pro life is the position that people should find meaning in their lives. I said that maybe if people can find their meaning in life they would then realize that every aborted child had their potential meaning and value snuffed out. I do believe that abortion is equivalent to murder. Let me ask you a question - why is the murderer charged with double homicide when the victim is a pregnant woman? Do you believe it shouldn’t be the case?
The video enactment of what a Dr does during all 3 trimesters of an abortion was unbelievably frightening. I didn’t really educate myself on the process just always felt it morally wrong and is a legal act of murder. I wasn’t prepared to see what is actually done from an abortion. My heart hurts. I had a pregnancy at 20 years old out of wedlock. I had a a “friend” who encouraged an abortion. I am sickened that I actually gave it a thought. But I knew it was wrong. It absolutely felt wrong. A couple of weeks later I went to the Dr to have an ultrasound…. Twins! God blessed my body to carry 2 healthy babies to full term. I made a hard decision but the right decision to place my twins with a family who couldn’t have children. I went through the adoption process, picked a family and let me tell y’all… the twins (I’m going to leave their names out of it) had an amazing life. We reunited when they were 16 years old. And have stayed in touch since. Baby girl is in the marines and baby boy is in college hoping to work at the UN. I am pro life, always will be. Men need to feel comfortable standing against it too w/o the fear of “it’s a woman’s body. Her body, her choice” nonsense. Thanks for this Mike. Grace, Peace and a truth.
I will add, not everyone has had the gift of reconnecting with their birth babies. Not every mother or father has ended up with good news about the life their baby may have had from being adopted. So I want to recognize that my story could quite possibly be “not typical”. But what I can tell u is that those 16 years of wondering how they were, if they were loved, if they felt abandoned by me, if they were taken care of- was worth the worry and sadness I felt of not knowing, rather than aborting. Let’s call it what it is… taking a life. I have yet to hear any kind of excuse that justifies barbaric behavior of killing a baby. I’ve worked with people who have had developmental delays, young people with AFS, young people in the system of foster care etc. and let me be clear, every single life that I served in the community was a blessing. A blessing to me. Every single one! When we have working limbs, we see someone who doesn’t as not enjoying life or having “good “ quality of life. I suggest having a conversation with someone who may have physical, or physiological disabilities and see what they say. I guess the point I’m getting at it is this- imagine the woman who wrote this letter, having a conversation with an at risk youth, who was kicked out of their home at 14, or ran away because his or her mom/dad was an addict, or abuse or neglect was happening in the home. Imagine looking that 13,14 year old in the eyes and saying” you would have been better off if your mother killed you while I were in the womb” or “now your victim of this terrible world. There is nothing beautiful about you. No blessings can come from your existence “. I can barely get myself to write these examples. I’m a Case Manager for at risk youth and serve these young people because they are absolutely a blessing and have value. I could probably go on and on and on. I’m passionate about this topic and I will absolutely stand against the crowd !
Back when I was in college one of my instructors showed the class an actual live video of an abortion procedure. Seeing that precious baby pulled out in pieces was horrific. The mental gymnastics some pro choicers contrive in their minds to make this gruesome procedure acceptable never ceases to amaze me. If we can contrive a justification for such a horrific procedure as this then we can pretty much justify anything in this world.
That was really beautiful to read. You are a wonderfully brave and amazing lady... so says I anyways. You hit a nail speaking about men being nervous of standing against it, because it's a strong emotional argument... factual one if you like, that we're not the ones who have to pay the price. I knew and loved very much a girl who told me she was very nearly aborted, she was very much against it and was the one to make me think and change my mind on it. I myself don't think it's actually murder, I understand why you and others do though, but I do think the situation has gone far too far, because these are human lives we're destroying however we cloak it in medical terminology. My girlfriend told me someone she knew had had nine abortions. And like you say when you see how it's done, when you learn how aware they are, how developed at that stage... makes you shudder.
@@ericar.c.3340 Just replying to this addendum, I myself am totally blind and have very poor hearing that's got progressively worse over the years. Talking to my girl, and hearing about babies with other conditions being aborted (apologies I know you don't care for the word... habit), makes me think well what if they'd known before I was born that I would be blind and deaf. Might my mum have been convinced to get rid of me? Maybe not then, but I can see it down the line.
My mom was struggling with alcohol that she didn’t even know she was pregnant until she was 6 months. She went to a clinic and was told she was too far along. My two older brothers were aborted. I had 2 step dads, worked multiple jobs to help pay bills. Sadness was my homeostatic state most of my life, happiness scared me and made me feel uncomfortable. My father was unwanted and given up for adoption, had he been aborted, had I been aborted, my 4 beautiful daughters would not be here. I detest abortion
I was never wanted or loved. The earliest memory I have is my mother yelling at me that she wished I’d never been born. My father hung around until he thought I could take care for myself. I think I was about two years old, possibly younger. I can’t remember how many times I was beaten by my mother. I was constantly physically, emotionally and mentally abused practically from my birth until I left home at 17. I was never allowed to have friends or birthday parties, so I wasn’t socially trained. This made me unable to understand the body/facial indicators that those who had friends understand without thinking. I chose to figure out how to become a better person. What I came up with is that for every situation I must determine what my mother would do and do the exact opposite. I’m now 68 and my Opposition Theory worked well. It didn’t fixed everything but it allowed me to function as a productive member of society. I’m not posting this for sympathy but to educate others that if you can survive your childhood, you can survive anything.
Jesus loved you from the very start!!! And I am so saddened by what you went through as an innocent child!!! You are strong and Jesus has filled you with His joy and love and forgiveness! You deserve all the blessings God has for you dear child of God!!!!
I raised my 5 in a trailer. They were happy and good kids. The answer to poverty is working hard and having the emotional strength to bear it and know it is only for a time.
Seems like they are projecting their own death wish on to everyone else. Must be miserable. They actually think they are trying to be good people but it goes wrong because the moral system they try to develop starts from premise that the world is irredeemably awful and there’s no purpose to being here anyway.
Sadly, I've seen several people post here and elsewhere that humanity should die. I don't see much point to a world without humanity, or something like it, that can recognize how great it is to be alive.
@@kctechie If you look at the moral arguments for veganism, they are nearly identical to arguments against abortion. You can point these things out to them and they’ll squirm, trying to find a way for it to all make sense. It would almost be funny if it weren’t also so incredibly tragic.
It blew my mind when you pointed out that the solution to possible death (in her note) is death. It’s so ironic. Thank you for sharing the beautiful Olivia video!
If you don't have the ability to consider all the possible circumstances, it may seem ironic, the note's comment about death. But if you're faced with birthing a seriously deformed baby that's going to suffer and die in infancy from its condition and has no hope of overcoming it, OR you can prevent that pain and suffering with abortion, both outcomes are death, but which is the more rational choice? What if you are in a war zone and raped by a soldier, and there's no food, no shelter, all resources are maxed out and you are on the run, should you be required to bring that baby into that world anyway, knowing it decreases your chances for survival if you do have the ability to end it? And let's say you already have several children that you need to ensure they survive. Abortion isn't fun and games. But sometimes it's just a necessary choice for the person who is experiencing it. There's no guarantees in love and life, and the answer isn't going to be the same for everyone. For those of you who could have been aborted and weren't, the point is that you weren't, but that doesn't give you special say to dictate someone else's circumstances.
@@koreyb How do we really know what lies beyond death? If you're religious then you'll believe in an afterlife, and presumably a good one, for the innocent. Or maybe it's oblivion. Isn't a fetus in early gestation already oblivious to it's humanity? Will it say, Oh Sh!#, I don't get to be a human now? Doubtful. But those that are here and suffering, that is a slow, slow, death. And while some may want to experience it, you cannot speak for all. And if there's other circumstances to consider, which are deep, compelling and innumerable, then who are you to decide over those that are intimately involved in the situation? There's no blanket answer for anything in this complicated and diverse world so you need to stop being so simplistic. Because you will never know what it's like unless you're put in the worst of examples and have to live it first hand. You are just doling out platitudes. Also, whether knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, decisions about life and death are made all the time. All the time. The cops in Uvalde by their inaction cost many children's lives recently. It's not a perfect world. Most people do the best they can with what they are dealt. If there's starving children on the brink of death, are they not worthy of your sympathy before someone else's fetus? Life definitely is a heirarchy, and if resources are not infinite and one must choose who to save, not all will win. Abortion can be considered a sacrifice just as easily as you can refer to it as murder. The focus shouldn't be on villifying abortion as much as it should be on seriously working together to make the world a better place and elevating people educationally, spiritually, etc, and the rest will fall into place, or at least as much as anything can on this planet.
@@hexopatrapulseheart7032 There is no way of knowing for sure what is beyond this life while you are still alive, and if I am right about there being nothing, you probably won't know even after you die because your brain will no longer be able to think so you will just stop existing before you know for sure one way or the other. But that's not the point. The point is that you can clearly see that all animals (wild animals, pets, even humans) do everything they can to live as long as possible because they try to avoid death for as long as they can hold out. And this is why murder is wrong even for those of us who are not religious. You have no right to determine for another animal when its life should end, and that includes the embryo's life. A life of misery is still better than the nothingness of death. And most likely, especially in America, they will not have a life of misery because we have a very high standard of living, and you have no right to deprive that person of the chance to experience the ups and downs of life, no matter how it eventually turns out for them.
@@koreyb I was adding to my first reply while your were writing yours, so I hope you see that too. Sure, everything wants to live. And in nature, it's survival of the fittest. Not everyone is "lucky" enough to live in America. You can go on about your wishful thinking but it's naive.
I was born 8 of 8 my mom miscarried twins so many would say that I'm the youngest of 6. I was wanted, but my family was not financially stable. I grew up eating literal pig slop. I kid you not. My fam asked the grocery stores if we could take the boxes of "rotten" food they'd normally give to the farmers for the pigs. I remember sifting through rotten food once a week. My father who is no longer like this was extremely emotionally abusive growing up, he was sick for years and it took a toll on his personality. By this womans logic I should've been aborted. As an adult I have had 6 miscarriages, one miracle baby, and another one on the way. My husband and I have been blessed to bring these babies into this world. Every single one of my children are indeed that, they are my child, not "just an embryo".
I watched a speech where a pro lifer was explaining what happens during abortion and the pro abortion people were making a heck ton of noise and all I could think was they dont wanna think about the baby as a human because then all their logic falls apart and they have to see how cruel they are
That is the same thing all the oppressive genocidal regimes did too. Hitler. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot... Dehumanize the victims, it makes it easier to load them into cattle cars with a clear conscience.
Cool story. I once watched a speech where pro-lifer person was explaining how abortion was murder and how we have to think of the children etc. and then when someone asked if they would be willing to pay more taxes to help provide medical services to pregnant women and help educate and provide for the child after it was born they said no, if the mother cannot afford taking care of her child it is her own fault even if it hurts the child. Or perhaps the many studies that show the most conservative anti-abortion areas have some of the highest abortion rates. So yes, the cognitive dissonance is real, as it appears pro-life people are only pro-life as long as it is not them who is having a unwanted child and/or there is no cost to them.
@@kurtfrederiksen5538 sure they said no, and sure our taxes could go to a lot more important things, but the pro life movement has been the biggest supporters of women after birth. Many people in the pro life movement have started free clinics, centers, clubs, and resources for women. There are many organizations that offer free baby showers for these women and I've seen their amazon baby registries always having everything bought out and thousands of dollars worth of gift cards and diapers gifted as well. Not to mention most people I know who are involved in the prolife movement want to adopt or already do. My dream is to adopt. There are so many homes and resources for unloved prego moms and postpartum moms out there that help. So please don't say we do nothing for these women after birth or that we don't care about them and that we only care about the baby. The babys life is so important and so it the moms. We want to empower women and tell them they are strong enough to take on the beautiful gift of motherhood not tell them they can't do it and kill their baby, and that their life if more important
I was born at 28 weeks, its crazy to think my mom could have (if she had wanted to) just ended my life even AFTER that point. God's heart is grieved, its for reasons like this that wrath is stored up for the day of wrath. Lord Jesus have mercy on us all 😪 (we all have sinned and fall short, and are justified freely by His grace through Jesus, for any woman feeling condemned, The Lord is near to the broken hearted, He will make us clean, the price He paid is enough. The whole world is under wrath and can find refuge in the ark of Christ)
And exactly no-one thinks you should have been aborted. Pro-choice people don't want anyone to do an abortion if they don't want to have one. It was your mum's decision and your mum wanted you, that's great. But if your mum had made the horribly tough decision to abort you, I don't think she should be put in jail, put to death or even tortured for eternity in the lake of fire. Do you want mothers who aborted their babies to suffer eternally?
@@DM_Andy Do I want them to suffer for eternity? No, I want them to not commit the most DISGUSTING and EVIL sin of "deciding" to murder their child. You are disgusting too for trying to justify killing a baby. It is a horrible thing that some mothers do, and they WILL face judgement from that. I pray Jesus forgives them that sin, but they must repent and turn to Christ as their savior for a CHANCE at forgiveness. I believe in God's grace and mercy, and believe/pray he does forgive the horrible women who repent and beg for forgiveness. I am horrible too and am only redeemed by Christ. He is my redeemer. I pray they, too, are redeemed or they absolutely will burn for killing and celebrating the death of their baby.
@@DM_Andy Killing their baby shouldn’t be an option in the first place. It’s also so manipulative to act as if someone has to choose to care for either the mother or the baby. I can care about the life of both the mother and the baby. Both lives have worth. Not just one.
From pro-choice (what was I thinking) to pro-life is a journey I never thought as a survivor of domestic violence, then sexual assault by a church member was part of my destiny. Thank you pastor Mike for your commitment to teaching the truth and bringing hope in such an authentic way. Your ministry is amazing and I pray for you each day to stay strong, focussed and continue to serve us in the generous way you do with this amazing platform and ministry. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I appreciate knowing your childhood history. I had you pegged as someone who “grew up in a Christian family “. My appreciation for you has gone up even higher than it was. I’m thankful that your mom didn’t kill you. Love you brother!
When I was 15 years old I found out that I was pregnant. I was young and scared and had an aunt that tried with all her might to convince me that abortion was not only okay but also the only answer but I refused to believe that. I decided to put the baby up for adoption. However my aunt wasn't the only obstacle that I faced. When I was about 4 months pregnant the Dr. did this testing that was supposed to predict birth defects. It came back positive for spinal bifida and the Dr. then tried VERY HARD to convince me to abort. Again I refused. Then once I felt the baby kicking and moving I also decided that I was keeping my baby and vowed to love and protect it with ALL my might no matter what. On July 5th of that year I gave birth to a super healthy absolutely PERFECT baby girl that weighed 7lbs 5oz. I married her dad and we had 4 more beautiful healthy children. Still I was pro-choice. Although I myself could never kill a baby I had family members that had repeated abortions and I shook it off by telling myself that it's between them and God. Your video reached me in ways that nothing else had. I have had to live my life knowing that I was a product of rape. I believe that everytime my mother looked at me she was reminded of that rape. She told me I was a mistake and that I was never MEANT to be born. She explained to me how she TRIED to miscarry me MANY times and I struggled a LOT with that as a teenager. She gave me to her mother and I am thankful everyday for that because I WAS loved. After watching this video I am 100% pro-life. If a mother is not going to protect a child of God that IS meant to be born then SOMEONE needs to. Murder is NOT okay. Period. Thank you for this. God bless you.
My son was conceived in a violent rape. He’s now 35. Abortion was never an option for me. I’m Catholic and have always been pro-life/anti-abortion. He knows how he was conceived but not who his father is. I spent some time as a peer counselor to other rape victims. Those who abort have a harder time recovering because the abortion mimics the rape itself. In Finland where post-abortion is studied and tracked, about 40% of women who abort for ANY reason attempt suicide later. Rape/incest are constantly used as exceptions but it’s a horrible argument. Abortion kills not just the baby but also the baby’s descendants forever. That’s why it’s better for you to have a millstone around your neck than to hurt a hair on a child’s head. God bless.
My wife's doctor tried to tell us that she should consider abortion since she already had one child with autism! I cannot imagine living without my beautiful baby daughter!!!!!!!
That footage of that doctor just made me cry. I've always been against abortion but it was just by default. Now knowing how traumatic it is I don't understand how so many people support it... We really are messed up as humans
No, just ignorant. That's why they're encouraging censorship. Free speech lets ideas spread and be challenged, resulting in the truth coming out. Same reason why abusers will isolate their partner to better manipulate them.
Many of them also don’t know how barbaric it is. There are several videos of people being interviewed on their stance before and after seeing videos like that. Thankfully they seem to always change their minds.
dude me too i was already prolife and this made me feel lik i was pro abortion before or something when i watched that. i cried so hard at the fetal ddevelopment vid too, like tats a perspon and all io see is a baby. i dont see a clump of cells thats a damn baby. i am mortified by people who abbort more than ever
Unless you're turning up with nappies and baby formula you aren't supporting the baby at all. What you're doing is taking away someone else's right to choose without knowing their reasons. Maybe they have preeclampsia and going to die unless they get one. Maybe they're trapped in an abusing household and dooming the child to the same abuse. You don't know why they want one but you want to take their choice away from them anyway.
@@brucewatkins7337 these are literally the same arguments that the note had also medical emergencies are NOT the same as oh I just don't have the money or I just don't like the responsibility. Don't want kids? Don't have sex. It's not about how you feel it's about what is objectively wrong. Your ignoring the baby's value like every other prochoice argument as well which shows how bad the cognitive dissonance really is
Yes. This is the first time a description has had me close to vomiting. I put my phone down because I knew if I watched, it would fuel nightmares. Audio only was bad enough...
The worst part is the mother chose that path. She chose to flush the baby, rip it apart, kill it, and tear it’s life away. And for what? So they didn’t have to deal with it, as if one trauma to the next is the answer to addressing their trauma.
And yet, we’ll do and pay anything to keep our dying pets alive. When the loving thing to do is let them go to avoid more suffering. It ALL comes down to 1 thing: SELFISHNESS- It isn’t about the baby or the pet, it’s about how WE feel! Thank you Mr. Winger for your faith, for your bravery, and for putting the TRUTH out there, I can’t believe anyone could watch this and not have a major heart adjustment. If they can’t, then they aren’t one of GOD’s children they belong solely to the devil.
"And yet, we’ll do and pay anything to keep our dying pets alive" A bad argument, since we will also end our pet's life if they are suffering and cannot be healed. Should we do the same for humans if the person wants it?
@@cnault3244I'd say God decides a human's end. He put animals in the care of humans, even if he owns them. Animals are not on the level of humans. There's a difference between "putting down" a human and allowing someone who's hooked up to machines, unable to be saved, can't do anything, to die naturally. That doesn't mean we give up on people who have conditions. We do everything to save them. But that's different than forcing someone not to die. If it seems God is calling that person home, it's alright to let go. Just don't make the decision that the person should die yourself. A woman at my church had discovered cancer in her body. She began treatment that had no effect and was suffering badly. So she let go of the treatment and allowed God to take her home. That wasn't suicide at all. She didn't have herself killed by some artificial means. As for animals, there's a point where a dog is so old and suffering that you can't just keep doing surgeries that the old dog likely won't survive anyways, have its hips replaced, etc. But people still do it even if the dog would rather spend its final moments going outside and playing, eating treats, and dying at rest instead of alive, miserable, and refusing to eat or drink.
This was really hard to watch, I had an abortion many many years ago, a decision I regretted immediately and still do. I know that God has forgiven me through Christ. I hope that one day when I meet Jesus face to face, my child will be right behind him.
I pray that your past decisions don’t affect you too much in a bad way but that, instead, they serve you and become a testimony of God’s true and beautiful forgiveness.❤️ Don’t forget that you are made new and that your past doesn’t define you anymore. We all did things we regret, that’s why Jesus died for us. You are not less loved and cherished then when you were wonderfully and beautifully made by God. Through Jesus’ eyes, you are still and will always be His overpriced, precious, irreplaceable daughter.💎 He has unimaginable treasures for you for when you meet and you will surely enjoy eternity with you child. This life is a glimpse of an eye, keep your eyes on the next one.😊 God bless you, hang upon God’s Grace and Love sister!💖
I have a beloved friend who also had an abortion many years ago, and I know she struggles with it because she brings it up a lot. She is a Christian, but she struggles with her faith so much, and I’m not sure how to help. Is there anything I could say or do next time she mentions it that might help, from your perspective? I love her and want to be sensitive, but truthful. She still explains why she had the abortion every time she brings it up. She’s trying to justify it and comfort herself, but she’s a mess about it.
@@alexr.3504 I think you should do exactly what you said you want to do. Be sensitive but truthful. "Hey, I know you're really upset about what happened, but the reasons don't matter anymore. What matters is that you have faith that your past has been wiped clean, and that you can use your experience to help other women if you have an opportunity to. You know it was wrong, so accept the forgiveness being offered to you, and come to church with me. You don't need to defend your actions to God, so don't feel like you have to defend them to me. We all make mistakes, but we learn." Etc. That's my best advice.
The majority of us with disabilities have been told by our parents how doctors insisted that we would never be able to have a chance and flourishing in life. No matter how things may be difficult doctors were wrong. I don’t think the pro-choice truly grasp the implications underpinning their positions when they say such monstrous things to our faces.
My son had a cleft lip and palate. When they found it in the ultrasound, (we only knew the lip involvement then), they said many people choose to the end the pregnancy and asked if we wanted to. I was 26 weeks along. We said, “no, that’s not us.” So, they had us talk to a genetics counselor down the hall. She asked about doing an amniocentesis to test for genetic anomalies. I asked what the miscarriage risk would be and what if his cleft would affect his survivability if I went into pre-term labor. She told us that at his gestational age he would have a 90+% survival chance if he was born right then. These two conversations were within 5 minutes of each other. It had more impact on me than finding out about the cleft (and we had NO family history or experience with cleft).
My grandchild is Down Syndrome and my absolute favorite person on earth. He would have been a genius normal person but is a genius at making do! Love him beyond belief! He is wanted by all his family and friends and loved by all!!! And a Christian too!
I've had people say to my face that my life would never amount to anything, I'd never get married, never have a job, never have a wife, never have kids, never go to university, that I would rely on care workers to take care of me my whole life and be stuck on disability welfare payments, this came from another family member at the dinner table, I have managed to pass school, and live on my own and hold a job, and now have proof that I was never disabled to begin with ironically, the way people treat you if they think your disabled is sad
My older son was about three years old when he was diagnosed with autism. The diagnosticion told us to not have any more children. I told him we were expecting our second child. I was two and a half months pregnant. He grabbed his phone and called an abortion clinic to arrange an abortion. My husband and I were furious. We had listened to this horrible person go on and on with doom and gloom, and now he was expecting us to do what he wanted us to do because he had the Ph.d behind his name and we don’t and we are expected to obey those who are “better” then us. We stood up, picked up our three year old and told him his services were no longer required. We walked out. Our sons are now 19 and 15. Yes, they are autistic. But they are amazing young men.
@@desertsinger72 that's horrible, I cant imagination getting rid of a child just because they have autism. I have a childhood friend who is autistic and his parents abandon him because he has autism.
Perhaps this has been said before... A researcher on attending a village that had cannibals in it found a curious thing when observing a feast. The village held a ceremony to remove the humanity from the intended victims. The victims thereafter were no longer people, but simply animals. Then and only then could they have their feast. Strikes the same chords as the pro-choice folks out there. The pro-choice people have to remove the humanity from the child in order to allow the children to be killed. By calling them embryos, parasites, "clump of cells", they are then able to do the deed without thinking of themselves as killers of children.
Then... by that argument as I see it, a woman could put her unwanted newborn to sleep with an overdose. That organism hasn't really lived or had any experiences either.
@@dan4lau yeah a newborn wouldn’t even know it died or that it even lived, they don’t have the ability to form memories. But that’s not even the case here bc it’s already born and killing a baby at that point instead of putting it up for adoption or giving it to a family member is objectively messed up. Letting a woman make the decision to terminate before it’s born isn’t the same as killing an infant
I agree I was never really pro choice, but I had a parenting class in high school we had a choice to watch a video on abortion I started watching and had to walk out of was horrible.
I had no problem with it until I saw a picture of a very small fetus being held. It was so tiny, the size of the tip of your finger. I could never understand killing something so precious just to make your own life better..
It's fun having these conversations as an adopted person because it's like someone telling you that there were good reasons that you should have been destroyed or eliminated. Like if they could go back in time would they kill me? My whole life ended for 9 months of maternal gain. Thankfully my bio mother loves me and I am so glad to know her now.
Had any of us been aborted we wouldn't even know it. None of us had any awareness at that time nor could we. I've seen this a lot here but it is uncharitable to assume that the writer is saying that fetus-you SHOULD have been killed. The only reason this point gets raised as if it's a reasoned counter to pro choice is for the sake of appealong to emotions and consequences. "We" that exist NOW did not exist as fetuses or even fully developed babies. The points raised by the note writer were good, however they shouldn't have assumed that the points applied to Mike. What do you think the strongest and weakest points for pro choice are?
@@whatwecalllife7034 honestly, I don't see how this is even a debate. All my years I have been alive, I never understood how a parent can think abortion is okay. That's murder. If someone is in a coma for 9 months, will you kill him? I mean, based on pro choice logic, we should kill him.

@@jesuslovesyou1921 It's not murder, plain and simple. If someone was in a coma for 9 months and they had no chance of recovering I would speak with the patient's family about euthanizing them. Someone else that isn't essentially a vegetable could use that bed. Either way, this is not a good analogy. A good analogy is like this, if I needed a blood transfusion, should you be forced to give me your blood? Or, if we were physically attached, or attached via medical equipment and I was in a coma and needed your blood to live, should you be forced to remain attached to me for any amount of time? Also I'm still waiting on what you consider the best argents for and against being pro-choice.
The "mercy killings" logic used to justify abortion is always so chilling. What makes it especially disturbing is they actually think they're in the right by doing the "unwanted" person a favor by killing them Beyond sick
I was adopted and told from the very beginning from my adopted mother I was not wanted and she wished she had not adopted me. I wasn't wanted twice. But when I was very young, before I knew anything about God, my Savior Jesus Christ or had even seen a bible, I had a feeling that I was being watched over and there was someone with me. My abusive childhood did not change, but having that feeling made me feel better and not so alone. So it doesn't matter who doesn't want you or love you in the end all that matters is GOD'S Love and every embryo has the right to live to know that Love. Amen
Your story reminds me of one of my adopted friends. I’m sorry you had to go through that but I’m glad you understand your worth in Jesus. I pray you find or have found people who show the love of Jesus to you.
This was my experience as well. My heart hurts for you! I was told that she wished I would jump off a bridge and she only adopted me because she wanted my beautiful sister. I am so thankful for God’s presence having been with us and that he has redeemed us!
Your story and the comments below are horrifying. I was infertile and tried to adopt. They put me off on fostering to adopt because I did not “have parenting experience” seriously. I would have adopted all of you!
@@MrsSecor Even after I was out of the bad situation when I was young, there have been many hard and difficult times, but mixed in with that God has provided so many blessings, happiness and joy in my life and I am so thankful for that!! I pay that God provides you with many blessings, joy and happiness in your life also.
As someone who is pro-life and who grew up in an emotionally/financially abusive and low income household, the note shook me to my core. What unbelievably offensive logic this note writer has. This video brings me to tears. Also, always interesting to hear fellow poor kid stories since I grew up in the suburbs (parents made bad decisions) and at the time thought we were the only family going through these things. Praise God for continuing to heal the hurt so that I can now laugh about stories like your bike helmet one.
I grew up similarly! It's pretty shocking & offensive when they say a child shouldn't be born because they will possibly experience abuse. When they say that, they are telling us that it would have been better if we weren't alive because we experienced that. Praise the Lord that's not the reality 🙏
Same!!! His childhood sounded awful familiar as a kid who grew up with little security. As it happens my mom had several abortions. I was almost one. I'm 100% pro life
I was dirt poor as well. Had a pretty bad family life and it caused a lot of issues throughout my life, but the one thing that never has ever crossed my mind was that euthanasia of the poor would fix my problems, or ever be morally acceptable under any curcumstances.
Well here's mine: I grew up poor, in a house that was shook financially because my parents divorced. Then my mother remarried. Then my half brother (I hate that term... he's my brother.) and I got to experience that divorce too. Stepfather abused her (a man that was nice normally, but changed when he'd drunk too much), and I was too young to do anything about it. So my mother divorced twice. I remember my mother asking me what last name I wanted to use. She also went through cancer (lymphnodes) and the related chemo treatments. Then her work was taken from her (animal control) due to some sort of recurring back issues, onto disability. She smoked, so that later turned into lung issues. But my mother had a determination to provide for my brother and I greater than any other drive I've ever seen in my life. Through pain and much struggle. So with that said, we had little. There were no trips or vacations. School field trips were just things to turn down because we didn't have the money. Nothing extra. Paying the minimum on bills, as possible, ranked by what was most likely to turn off whatever the service was (e.g power or water, etc). Screening every phone call simply because it'd probably be a collector. Everything we had was breaking. I remember situations like Mike mentioned, having alarmingly nothing for the week or until the next paycheck, next whatever. I don't even know where she managed to find money. Mike's totally right in this point too: as a kid, none of this was weird to me. This was my normal. This is how things were. I chose things to be happy about in the midst of it all. Mom wasn't religious. Neither really was my dad (whom I saw every other weekend most of the time). He didn't have much either. He was working hard though on Dave Ramsey's "debt snowball". That'd be huge for him later in life. So anyway, I wasn't Christian either. I would have said I am Christian at that time, but looking back, I had no idea what that meant and did not live it. Later, when I had gotten myself into college (accruing all the government backed poor people loans I could get), I met some classmates that were Christian. Like really Christian. Not just bumper sticker Christian. There was something different about them and I wanted to learn more. I got into the Bible. I've been on this walk ever since. Now that determination I learned from my mother feeds my goal to provide a Christian upbringing for my son and I work hard to maintain the harmony in my marriage. I can see God's providence at work in my life. God is great, everyday. :)
The Doctor wanted my wife to terminate her pregnancy with our son. We refused and he is now the healthiest brightest of all our kids. Pregnant Ladies please think hard and seek Christ for help. Your baby is precious and you will never ever regret keeping them. I promise
There's a place of worship of Moloch in the Bible known as Topheth where child sacrifice was carried out. An interesting thing about the word Topheth, is that it means "Tambourines". Some historians and commentators have noted that it was called such, because at the time of worship, tambourines would have been played to drown out the cries of the child as they were immolated. Even back then, they didn't want to have to think about what they were doing.
I was born into a happy family, to two wonderful parents who wanted me and who were financially secure. My childhood was wonderful. Being born into an idyllic situation does not save you from suffering, strife, or unhappiness. It does not save you from the horrors or atrocities you will face. Likewise, the opposite it true. Being born into an unhappy family, to parent(s) who do not want you, and/or who are not financially secure, does not dictate the rest of your life. All of that being said, the meaning and purpose of our lives are not dictated by any of these things.
I am holding my nearly 4 month old son...and am in tears and sick to my stomach. Children are our greatest treasure under God and as I gaze at my son and experience the utter joy of my child's smile I am filled with such love I cannot descibe. Watching the abortion process broke my heart.
It honestly still blows my mind that the completed initial development of a human being takes only 9 months (even younger than that and they are still developed enough to live). And yet full development takes about 25 years. A young child who cannot speak or walk yet isn't less of a human because they haven't developed those skills. The pre-frontal cortex of the brain doesn't fully develop until your mid-twenties. Are they less valuable because they're "underdeveloped"? Should babies with dwarfism and a small stature be considered less human too? I can't believe what people think.
Tripple A Game producers took that at heart. They publish an unfinished but working game and after a few years it is finally a matured game. Sorry for the bad joke.
Yeah.. my child didn’t even exist at the beginning of this year, but now he has a face, a heartbeat and limbs to kick me with and I’ll have a fully formed human to hold in two months! Again, he literally didn’t exist in February. In March, he was the size of a poppy seed, and now he has movements strong enough to keep me up at night. Constantly in awe of this. Life is amazing ❤️
As a pro-life Christian, I had leave the Republican Party for good many years ago when all the so-called pro-life Republicans around me were cheering for the invasion & bombing of Iraq...an ungodly war which slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. That's when I first realized that there was nothing authentically pro-life about them.
@@eugenesanders3094 what political party do you know that doesn't go to war? Dems, reps, ind, etc all go to war, including as soldiers. Leadership should be held to account. And there's a huge difference between going to war and signing up for military service vs being a child who is being killed by your own mother because you are inconvenient. I can't believe you don't see that.
There was a lot of things about this conversation to fire me up, but whats really grinding my gears is that miserable Karen that ticketed you as a child. Unbelievable, I hope that lady perpetually loses her TV remote, all her socks are forever slightly too tight, and she always hits freakishly long red lights when she's in a rush.
Wow, as a former neglected and abused foster child, according to this person, I shouldn’t be alive and my life isn’t beautiful. That sucks because I really love my life and I’m very happy now. My childhood was difficult but there are still moments I cherish from it. Not everything is bad. Thankfully I know I’m loved by God and my husband and I’m about to bring another beautiful life into this world who lives who wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t. By this logic, we can also execute foster kids…. Scary stuff.
For me a big game changer was when I had a miscarriage. The realization that the same doctor that told me to grieve because I had lost a baby the same as a mother whose baby was born dead could turn right around and prescribe a pill to the next woman that would kill a baby the same age forced me to think more thoroughly through my pro-choice beliefs. And you know what? Not a single person I knew, no matter how pro-choice said to me “no biggie it was just a clump of cells”. Instead news of a miscarriage was met with love, compassion, and support. It occurred to me that as a society we had indeed reached the place where our value to other people has become the very definition of what it means to be human. This philosophy was written in blood throughout the 20th century and the 21st century doesn’t look like it’s going to be much of an improvement.
This is was a great point 👍 Another way to put it: if someone commits murder and the victim was pregnant - then that's double homicide. But why? Isn't it just a "clump of cells"?
Wow! You've just expressed in a very few lines what I've been reeming off paragraphs trying to get across. As I say the logic seems to be, it's a baby if it's wanted, and a pregnancy when it's not. I'm not at all religious but that just doesn't square with me. They're human lives, from the start to the finish.
Imagine being a woman and considering a miscarriage the same as an abortion lol. He told you to grieve because you wanted the baby, I assume since you say miscarry. And then you turn around and be like but women who don’t want baby and abortion. Same emotional weight. Like what? Lol this is a stupid take I’m sorry. I don’t care what sex you are
My dad came from a broken family. He got thrown through the foster care system and has some rather nasty stories from his childhood. He found Christ. Today, he is strong in his faith and is an incredibly devoted and hardworking family man. He's incredibly intelligent, patient, and loving, and even though our family was far from rich as I was growing up, I would not trade him for any other dad. Whenever a pro abortionist brings up poverty or family circumstances as a reason to kill a child, I always think of him--how he overcame his beginnings, how he came to the Lord, and how much he means to me.
I’m hoping this will be seen by the person who posted the comment asking how God could forgive them for having 2 abortions.
You may have deleted your comment but I did try to reply and I hope you find God’s grace in this reply.
Paul the apostle was in a situation even worse than what you’ve described. He had actively persecuted the church and sought to destroy the name of Christ. His moral crimes were so bad because he not only helped murder Stephen (in Acts 7) but was doing something even worse when he tried to torment Christians until they denied Christ and sought to fight against the very gospel itself. What’s amazing about this is that God chose to save Paul not just in spite of his sin but because of it. God wanted a man to spread the gospel who was guilty of the worst sin so that everyone else would know God would forgive even the worst sin. Paul even says as much in this passage.
“even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” - and I am the worst of them. But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.”
1 Timothy 1:13-16 CSB
As aware as you are of your wrongdoing you must become that much more aware of the grace of God. In Christ, He forgives you. Look to Jesus, He paid the price.
Mike, God bless you brother. 🙏 This is an incredibly powerful message. I can list a handful of times that I have cried as an adult, my marriage, saying good bye to my grandmother, and saying good bye to my best friend.
I have my first baby to be born in November.
Before my wife was pregnant with our child, I had spent many years being brainwashed that a fetus was nothing more than a parasite.
Even I, a "good and moral" man was convinced that abortion was nothing more than a talking point for the politicians.
I cried while listening to this message. It's difficult to hear and know that we have so many babies being violently murdered everyday. And it's frustrating to know that "good and moral" men are still convinced that the violent murder of innocent babies is nothing more than a "talking point".
Keep up the good work. God Bless.
Mike can you explain numbers 5: 11 - 29 I'm kind of confused on it.
There is forgiveness, there is redemption that is available
Mike, I am not for abortion at all. Please believe me. And I am not saying her logic makes sense or that she is right. Every single person born into this world deserves to be loved and cherished and provided for abd not abused. But that is not limited to unborn children. There are plenty of people who suffer in different ways who long for all three of things that she mentioned and yet lack that and didn't choose their circumstances or their family or their life. The wife that is unloved by her husband, the man on the street corner who lost his job and now has to beg, the law or medical student who got into an accident and now has lost his mental and physical capabilities...all of these people lose hope in different ways and may wish that God would take their life, but I am not saying it justifies abortion or that her logic is correct. There is suffering in this world regardless of age, sex, race, etc. And that should drive us to compassion. I think she thinks she is being compassionate in sparing a baby an unhappy life, but there should be other solutions to pain in this world.
@@RenewalCreations abortion is not "sparing a child an unhappy life" it is murdering a child before they have an opportunity to experience happiness in their life.
My mum in 1967 thought at 18 her baby was going to be born white. She gave birth to me and I came out brown. Her family wanted me adopted. I grew up thinking I was a mistake until I became a Christian. God told me I’m not a mistake and He knew me before the beginning of time. Thank you Jesus for saving me
Glad your here Nikolleuk!

No idea about the details of your story, but thank you for sharing this!
I have a mixed neice who suffers greatly because of racism in this country. She too feels like she is a mistake.
I was born 10 weeks premature in the slums of Calcutta India, I was abandoned in a gutter, suffered a rickshaw accident, received two blood transfusions, and was adopted at 5 months old. I came to America and weighed 5 lbs 12 oz. My origin story made me prolife. This video galvanized my prolife stance.
Wow! Justin! What a great story! Thank you for sharing!
God has blessed you. ☺️
Wow!
Love you for who you are🌸
No one who is pro choice is anti life. In fact they are pro life just like most other people. To them, the life of extant human people is more valuable than the potential life of embryonic humans.
PROLIFE advocates however, tend to be anti choice, which negatively affects the life of the pregnant person, ironically enough. Funny how that works.
Former 10 yr heroin addict here. When I got pregnant with my son, I just lost my job, was just 1 month clean, was living in a weekly hotel , was not married and had every family member try to convince me to have an abortion for most of those reasons on the note. 5 years later I have a beautiful blue eyed, blonde hair, smart happy healthy boy. A 4 year old beautiful girl with an amazing husband who took on the responsibility of being a father to my son. Even in my sin, God protected myself and my son and gave me a gift of a beautiful family. I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. God is Good.
Wow, beautiful testimony!
You are so exactly right and I am incredibly thankful for you and your child that you did not commit the sin of killing your beautiful son. Shame on your family for trying to turn you from God, and I am touched and amazed that you made the right decision under that pressure. If you follow God He will provide. It is distraction, selfishness, and worldliness that makes us believe it is okay to commit one of the most disgusting sins to avoid the responsibility of taking care of a child.
We all suffer. Whether you are financially stable or not everyone has problems. If you build your house on a rock with God and Christ guiding your building, then you will overcome those problems and discover the beauty of God's plan for you. I am glad that you have a beautiful life and family, so so glad. I only pray those who made the wrong choice and killed their babies repent and are forgiven of that sin. God bless you and your family.

Beautiful testimony. God honored your decision to keep your son.
Praise God for keeping you and your family safe. You have a very blessed testimony. This is why I’m pro life. 🙏🏽❤️
My youngest daughter was tested earlier pregnancy and red flag after red flag. My wife and I felt all we heard from everyone was to terminate. One day my wife asked me why I didn't seem to stress from it, I told her. I gave it to God, at the end of the day God has made me a father again and I have faith in his path for me and our family. She started to cry and smile. We had a healthy baby girl that I tell every day your my miracle baby.
Im so happy to hear that. God bless.
Thank you for sharing this. Some good tears. It seems strange to say God bless you when you just told us he did, but God bless you.
Put it in God's hands, Amen praise God ❤️ hallelujah.
More mistakes. You should be ashamed to live in a country with such an abysmal education system.
@Demun1649 how does this even relate to the video or comments.?
I was not wanted, loved, nor financially supported. I was neglected and abused. But… I am so glad that I am in this world and that my Savior lives and loves me and blesses me and my family. God bless you, Mike, your ministry and your family.
Amen brother!
Myself also. It was the healings of my soul and i didn't ask just old Marinatha singing church on Wed nights. The pastor was obviously born again. Sing a little a short message and singing (no "tongues" js). The Holy Spirit presence just worked. I felt the lifting bit by bit. I felt the healing happening. Also the "veil" was lifted to God. God is sooo loving. Do I have all the answers to the mysteries of God? Heaven no. I do know God is real and He loves me.
Same!
It's honestly the least of these that have a rough childhood and life that doesn't seem worth living, that God takes and lifts up and does great and incredible things through. In our politically limited understanding of the world we think that we're sparing someone the pain and suffering of living and breathing, but we really could be sparing them the joy of being chosen by God and doing amazing things in this life leading into eternity
You were wanted and loved by God. We’re so blessed to have you as a brother in Christ, Scot.
When I was 19 years old I got my girlfriend pregnant. At the time I did not take her seriously and was with another girl when I heard she had an abortion. She said she had to because of health reasons, I don't know, I didn't pay attention and I was so lost, I was relieved, I didn't care she killed my child without me knowing.
I have given my life to Christ and repented so many times. This abortion still haunts me and he or she would be around 24 years old now. I have so much regret even though I know God has forgiven me.
God has blessed me with 3 children and my wife and I have had 3 miscarriages as well. However, I will have to apologize to my child one day in Heaven. A soul doesn't just disappear.
I do love you, I was just selfish and stupid. If I could go back, I would. Having children is such a blessing.
May God be gracious unto you and thank you for sharing your story on this.
You could not have stopped her anyway. I sometimes wonder about my mom’s three miscarriages. I was on the pill after I got married. Then I found out that it’s possible for an egg to get fertilized but it won’t implant. So I went off the pill and we used condoms until we could afford a child. I wonder if I had other children that never implanted. I think it was just ignorance but, I too, have questions. No one told me that birth control pills worked that way. God is merciful. Idk how it all will play out, but I know God will forgive us for wrongs committed in ignorance.
Hi Jacob, hats off to you for your honesty. 🎩👏👏
As a matter of interest - and maybe just a question to ask yourself rather than to reply to publicly: did you take responsibility and apologise to your ex-girlfriend as well for your lack of sincerity/commitment to her? You probably did.
But if you didn't, I can tell you: unless I'm very much mistaken, it will mean a lot to her if you do, even after all these years. I believe it could also benefit you tremendously, spiritually speaking.

Short answer is yes.
As a child abuse survivor, it makes my blood boil when pro-choice people use these kinds of arguments. Yes, I suffered incredibly as a child. Yes, I will continue to suffer to some degree. But my life has value. The value of a child is not dependent upon how well they're treated or how much they are loved. Mike, thank you for addressing this.
Such an important perspective that I hadn’t thought of before. It seems they not only devalue life in the womb, but in their summation, deem the child unworthy of life because of bad parents. Wow. Adds an even sadder dimension to the whole thing.
Think about that language..... pro-choice vs pro-abortion. They got us to change our language there.
As a child abuse survivor it boils my blood that people think being born is the only thing that we have to survive. The biggest pro-life organization in the world also has the biggest and oldest child abuse rings in the world.

I was wanted. I was prayed for. I was loved. I was born into a financially stable household. I was conceived in spite of medical conditions that made it highly unlikely. I was a miracle. And yet, the doctors tried very hard to convince my mom to abort me. Because she was older. She was 45.

I got pregnant as a teen. I knew I wouldn't get help and everyone told me to get rid of it. I was told "No one will know you were even pregnant if you (take care of the problem)" I couldn't do that didn't even consider it. I had my child and will tell anyone that my child saved me.

Every atrocity begins by dehumanizing the victim. Abortion is no different.
I wish I could up-vote this comment a thousand times. An excellent observation.
@@thebowshot9341 I have been saying this for a while. Mike essentially said the same in his video, but not as succinct. Feel free to share it. It is a simple fact form the holocaust to slavery to killing Native Americans. Savage, Primiative, sub-human, in-bred, bumpkin, fetus - they are all an attempt to denigrate and distance from the victim.
I was abused emotionally, physically, & verbally by my own mother for most of my childhood. So this person says I didn't deserve to live and my life isn't beautiful because of what I had to deal with? Wow, how horribly wrong they are. Praise the Lord my mother didn't abort me nor any of my siblings and now we are free from the abuse! Most of all, praise Him that we are forgiven even though we deserve God's wrath!
The part that says there is _nothing_ that is beautiful about an abused, unloved, or poor person's life is especially ridiculous. Sounds like its coming from the mouth of a very privileged person who has never actually interacted with a victim or poor person. They are some of the most beautiful people I know. I imagine any social worker, child psychologists, etc would be openly mortified if someone said something like this outside of a "political" discussion.

Wow that note is something. My dad walked out when I was in first grade and there were times we didn't have heat in the house and very basic food but we get by. I'm sure it bothered my mom more than me, as my only caregiver. Realizing my dad didn't love me hurt much more. Hearing you speak on those two aspects was poignant.
Also, I had a pill abortion about 15 years ago at about 6 weeks. I thought this was ok because the man I got pregnant by put a knife to my neck and threatened to kill me. But now I am a murderer, not him. If only I knew Jesus back then. I am now 48 years old and have no children. 😢
But God has forgiven even me. God is sufficient and His Mercy endures. Amen

I was born very premature and my mom had complications during delivery which led to me having some brain damage.
My childhood was very difficult in a different way-I struggled to learn, literally.
I’m older now too and don’t have children. I think because of being socially behind mainly.
But, even so, I don’t regret having life.
And I do think God loves everyone. Our lives I do think have meaning. Even in just talking to strangers, surprisingly it can mean a lot to others.
I hope you have a loving church family or others who love you in your life. Definitely you don’t have to be alone, if you happen to be. And by that I mean without any friends.
Wish you the best.
Amen. The Lord bless you and keep you through our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
We have a Good God that forgives any sin❤
Have hope that one day you will see your child, he or she is waiting for you in heaven🙏God continue to heal your heart from that trauma.
If somebody held a knife to your throat, nobody in THIS world is going to blame you for not carrying that life to term. I don't think God would have a problem with it, either. Not a loving God who believes in you as a person.
Here is one counter to this Pro "Choice" argument:
There is a DocuDrama called "Mully" about a Kenyan man who grew up DIRT POOR!
He literally had only the dirty shorts he was wearing as a kid, no shirt and no shoes.
He woke up one morning in his mud hut and found that his family had left him. He wandered around knocking on other mud huts asking for help and was turned away. He then wandered into town where a wealthy woman allowed him to come in and live and earn his keep by doing chores. Her husband eventually hired him to work in his business working in the fields. He saved up enough money to start a taxi business. Then he eventually owned a fleet of buses, then a tire company, then a real estate company then an insurance company.
He was a self-made TYCOON with a wife and eight children!
Then God called Mully to sell all of his businesses and go back to where he had come from and start caring for the thousands of orphans still there. One by one he brought them home to his own home. Eventually he was caring for thousands of orphans and God supplied all he and his wife needed to do so.
So, according to the Pro "Choice" argument Mully should have never existed and the thousands of orphans he helped should have never existed. But we are made in the image God and every human life is precious. Even the ones that people like this woman think do not have the right or the life potential or the "requirements" to be allowed to live!
For every Mully there is 10000 who end up in prison due to no family. If the majority of stories ended up like Mully this wouldn't be an issue.
@@engineeringreality7878 And your point? Are you saying that killing children is justified then?
@@rolysantos Its not a child or person legally until it has a name, date of birth/birth certificate and a social security number.. Maybe advocating for those things to be issued at conception would be more fruitful. As for your comment you cant point to the exception to the rule that a child raised without a decent home life as a reason to advocate for children to be brought into hellish situations. Funny how the people advocating against "killing children" are the same ones that support the death penalty and trying 14 yearolds as adults. If you dont want people looking at abortion as an option you should also advocate for raising children to not be financially prohibited. Do like Poland and knock off tax rates for every child had and after 4 its zero. If Society assentivized having children abortion would disappear.
@@engineeringreality7878 The government or other governing bodies do not decide when someone's a person or at least shouldn't so the legality doesn't matter. Where were they advocating for children to be brought into hellish situations they just don't want them killed even if the side effect is that they'll exist in a hellish situation. The child has not committed a crime to be put on the death sentence, you would have to do a crime hopefully a bad one to get that punishment but personally I don't agree with the death sentence. The way I see it it's the child's life so the one who should decide how or when it ends should be the child not the mothers, not the fathers, and not the government.
@@engineeringreality7878
Really? So we're talking about "legally" being human?
How about ACTUALLY being human!
"Legally" Hitler treated Jews as "non persons" so I guess killing them was ok too because it was "Legal."
And PLEASE, don't try the "Godwin's law" or any such nonsense on me. This is a true comparison. If you don't understand that Legal and Moral are not necessarily synonymous then I question the foundation of your morality.
Regarding the death penalty, no my friend, its not "funny." My views are actually consistent. In both cases I advocate against the killing of INNOCENT life.
Those who murder innocents ARE justly due the death penalty.
I DO advocate for raising children to not be financially prohibitive which is why I'm against democrat policies.

My nephew , the son of a notorious South African policeman- turned- bank robber, would have been aborted if my baby sister, who was only 17, went through with the illegal abortion he gave her a pile oc money for. She had a whopping holiday with the money and my parents raised the boy. The father was later shot and killed in Florida USA.
Today that baby is a gospel musician, pastors a church and has a strong prophetic ministry. We kill great potential when babies are aborted.

Ugh. I was up until 3 am writing a paper on abortion in my ethics class. I was dreading it all week. Took a lot of prayer to get though it, but I believe God helped inspire my words. Praying it reaches anyone who reads it.

Thank you for pulling through. This took courage.
@@jvdm7195 thank you. 🙏 God bless. 💗
How was it received?
Holy crap.
As a 36yo male who can watch Saving Private Ryan without blinking an eye that abortion doctor wrecked me emotionally.
As the father of a stillborn daughter at 40 weeks knowing the pain of holding my dead infant daughter I simply can’t wrap my head around this.
I’ve never heard abortion described as genocide but now that he’s said it there really isn’t any other word for it is there?
I was abused as a child by my mother. As I got older and was able to fight back my mother had my brother beat me up. There were times when I've had 2 black eyes. I even saw stars once after he punched me. It's a real thing. It was very bad. My mother always told me the reason we had problems was because of me. I grew up believing I was worthless as my mother always told me. We were not allowed to talk about it outside of the home. It is very common for the abuser to do that. My mother even put me in a mental institution when I was 13. After I became a Christian at 15 the abuse got worse. I have had 2 friends tell me they knew I was abused but couldn't do anything because they were just kids. After reading a book about alanon (father was an alcoholic) I realized Nothing was my fault. It was my mothers issues dealing with my fathers alcoholism. I confronted my mother when I was 40 and asked her why she abused me. In tears she apologized and I forgave her. 3 years before she died I led her to the Lord. Thanks for the verse, I will always remember it. Please pray for my brothers Salvation. Even though he still believes everything he was told about me when he was young. and refuses to talk to me, I know we can have a good relationship if he accepts Christ.
I am so pleased you found love and strength in the Lord. And that you were able to help your mother.
tears here. I wish i could hug you for sharing that.
@@JenniferKokoski In 2006 we found out my mother had stage 4 cancer. My brother and his wife were supposed to take care of her until her death. Before he took her in he told me they planned on putting her in a nursing home. I couldn't allow him to do that. I ask her to come stay with me. My brother had power of Atty and could put her in the nursing home unless something changed. She didn't want to take the POA away from him because she thought he could manage the money better. I explained that he would use her money to put her in a nursing home. I took her to the bank and put all of her money in both our names. I then took her to a lawyer and got medical POA. When my brother found out he was furious. My brother never realized the truth of what was going on when we were kids. He still believes I was the cause of everything. I am trash in his eyes.
After I brought my mother home with me (a different state), all we talked about was Heaven, God, Jesus, the Bible and Salvation. Even thought I thought I led my mother to the Lord, she didn't want to talk about it for the last 3 years. I really wasn't sure. One day (while I was taking care of her) she said to me, I want you to talk to your brother because I want him to go to Heaven too. I knew right then, she had trusted Christ.
There is so much more to this story, too much to type. God arranged it for me to bring my mother home with me so I could know for sure she had trusted Christ.
@@carolgoering6585 I can’t imagine the mental trauma you had to go through, that would’ve left me with some ptsd. Yet..somehow you found space for forgiveness. You remind me of my mom she’s too kind and people take advantage of your kindness. I’m the type that will cut the cancer out of my life instead of trying to cure it. Over the years I’m trying the forgiveness ways but I find it so difficult for me, as those resentment never fully goes away. I also find that people will never appreciate you if you hand deliver them help. I’m at the point now where I truly don’t care about anything- maybe this is the older wiser thing? 😆. But im still learning as I go and seeing kind individuals like you and my mother is what grounds me and humbles me. Thanks for sharing.
@@mistyn380 Oh, I have PTSD
My mother is/was a type 1 diabetic in the late 70s when I was born. My grandmother begged my mom to abort me because being pregnant was literally killing her and putting me at risk as well. My mom said she couldn’t do it, she wouldn’t go against god even it meant me living and her dying. Needless to say I was their only child...but!
43 years later she has 2 wonderful grandchildren that love her dearly and I’m thankful she chose obedience to Christ and to life! Thanks mom!!
But God! Praise Him!
This is such a great testimony. God bless, bless, bless you.
Aborition is bad enough, but your story is one that amplifies one of the other issues surrounding abortion, which is the fact that expecting mothers are being told abortion is their best option. I think many women who end up getting abortions these days only do so because they are more or less pressured into it. How much longer will it even remain a true choice? Seems crazy today, but should we really be surprised if in our lifetimes abortions are not even a choice in many cases? Instead, they are government or doctor ordered. Eventually we'll probably be able to detect many medical conditions before birth. Imagine this, you are pregnant and you go in for a legally obligated test. The test confirms the child has autism. The government may not go as far to say that you must abort, but they tell you that since you know the child has autism that you will never be eligable for any government assistence. Insurance companies can/will refuse to cover medical coverage. In other words, they "force" you to abort by using extreme pressue techniques. The Biden administration is already trying to force a vaccinate or get tested weekly for covid on people. If this is held up or is implemented in the future for other matters, how far of a stretch is it really for women to be mandated to get monthly pregnancy tests and, if positive, get the baby tested before birth? Refuse to get tested, well then you can never claim that child for tax credits, medical insurance, government assistence, etc. Keep in mind, the majority of women whom get abortions tend to be low-income to begin with. Financial pressure to abort for many of these women would almost surely push them over the edge on the "decision".
This is a point that wants shouting from the rooftops. Abortion is not just killing the child in the womb but also all those offspring down through future generations that the child would have produced. "He who saves a single life, saves the world entire."
Hey is your mom still diabetic?
Can you imagine if we treated kids with terminal illnesses this way? Instead of donating to and funding children’s hospitals and supporting organizations like Make a Wish, we just off a kid the second they’re diagnosed just because “he’ll be suffering” or “she’s going to die in a few years anyway”? Can you imagine how disgusting that would be? And yet, this is the logic we apply to the unborn.
Yeh but how long before we do start treating the sick and mentally disabled this way and the elderly --- with this logic.
My mom had people on her Facebook telling her that she should be pro abortion because my sister is autistic and has an autoimmune disorder, many told her that there should be tests to determine potential health problems then if there's potential abort as the "merciful choice" for both the child and society.....
Most of those charities are towards kids that have a chance of recovering and leading a normal life. Also already born unhealthy children don’t endanger the lives and bodily integrity of their parents again by staying alive.
@@deltab9768 Most all pregnancies don't endanger the mother's lives including about 99% of all abortions.
@@rydout My point is, there are several things that set an abortion apart from killing a born baby, which is obviously unacceptable.
I would be pro life if states made exceptions for cases of rape or incest, and also pregnancies that are unusually high risk for the mother (this includes tweens and young teens who are more likely to suffer permanent injury from giving birth or even just carrying the embryo to term.
I know this is an older video but I need to share this...
My husband is adopted. He was born to a man who had no clue he existed and died in 1990 still never knowing he had a son and a woman who was schizophrenic where the voices told her to kill her baby. My husband's adopted parents were not able to have their own children. He was loved and cared for and even more than that he was WANTED. He is the oldest of 4 adopted siblings. He has a brother and 2 sisters. They were poor but not living in the streets. Even when my in-laws died they left nothing but debt. But they left a legacy of love that is seen every day in my children that would never have been born if my husband had been aborted.
I wouldn't be here if my father hadn't been adopted and neither would my siblings. My own children wouldn't exist, either. I also wouldn't have my best friend if she'd been aborted instead of adopted.
My son wouldn’t be here, had my ex-husband been aborted. Family members tried convincing her to end the pregnancy. Thanks to his mother following her heart, 28 years later I gave birth to my son, who is now serving our country in the US Navy.
How many geniuses, scientists, servants of God have been murdered in the name of convenience?
Has anyone noticed that when a woman wants to have a child, she refers to the fetus as her baby? It can't work both ways.
It drives me insane when these leftists cry about miscarriages like Chrissy Tiegan did. Umm? It’s not a human though, right? Why cry? At least be logically consistent.
of course we have (but we are not allowed to say it)but here goes, a females hypocrisy, aborting a clump of cells , compared to a miscarriage of a wanted baby , seems like a life depends on how mom is feeling that day
Of course we have. For decades. I started working with pro life groups in 1986, in high school. I thought the battle was hard then. This is just more evil, all the time.
My College roommate and my best friend went to work for National Right to Life in the mid 1990s, I have no idea how they did it every single day. We were not exactly treated kindly by the pro abortion folks who followed us. Thank you Mike, we need new people in every generation, because fighting for the right to LIFE - the one that actually is in the Constitution! Not the "right" to kill your child in the womb. That fight is exhausting in every way. But science and technology are our friends. The ability to see better, clearer images, the fact that yes, life does begin at conception - science is backing this up now.
Women who have made the choice to end that life need to know that God loves them. That Jesus died for them. And there is nothing God can not forgive. We also need to care for Mothers and babies *after* the baby is born. Volunteer at a crisis pregnancy place, help in every real way possible.
yeah, it's magic!
Fetus is Latin for baby. Of course, the sick, evil grabler types (Biden, Clinton, Podesta, etc.) take the term as it sounds: feed us. They drink the blood of aborted babies.
As someone whose only pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and haven't been able to get pregnant since, that note pissed me off soooo much.
My first and third pregnancy were miscarriages. I hope you end up having a baby bundle of joy one of these days 💕
There is legitimate grief that follows miscarriages and to think that people think there are people who dehumanize babies in utero angers me, too. That grief I had was for the children I never got to meet or hold was for real lives.
Blessings 💕
Same here. I've been trying for 12 years now. I got pregnant 8 months ago completely by surprise and then had a very early miscarriage. The instant connection and deep intense love I felt for my baby is like nothing else I've ever experienced. I've grieved for months. Up until a week ago I was still crying every single day. I had anxiety/panic attacks, etc. I can't imagine ever choosing to end my child's life. I would have done anything to save my baby if I could. It's just so upsetting to see women kill their own children and write notes like these. I hope you're doing okay. I just wanted to reply so you know that you're not alone.
I miscarried my first pregnancy and it devastated me. All I could think of was all those women who kill otherwise healthy babies just because they don't want them. It made me so angry. Thankfully I was able to have full term babies after. My heart and prayers go out to you.
@@bunny_0288 May God bless you with children. You deserve to be a mother.
My spouse and I went through three miscarriages. One, the egg wasn’t viable, another didn’t make it after one month, and another didn’t make it (I cannot remember why). Each time, it hurt the family. My spouse had a hard time getting over it while I wonder what kind of child they would have been. When I see my youngest, it makes me sad because there was supposed to be another, when I think of my oldest I think of the conversation we had to have about miscarriages and why there won’t be another baby. Watching my wife cry over the miscarriages is heartbreaking because each one was a child we won’t meet.
I'm glad you're willing to speak out on this: too many "Christian" pastors have abandoned this issue.
Yes we haven’t talked about this in society
The positive thing we can glean from this is all the “progressive” Christian churches seem to be hemorrhaging members but the traditional ones are growing.
I'm a Christian and this Confuses me greatly: Christ Himself did not seem to support the legislation of morality. If that were the case he would have agreed with the mob to stone the woman for violating moral law at the time. He would have agreed with the Pharisees and Sadducees who constantly tried to control the masses by legislating morality. No- in fact The Lord seems to have always supported the freedom of man to either please God or commit Sin. Sin that, unless repented from, will result in Hell fire. In other words, morality and societal legislation are two roads that should not cross. If you believe they should, then why are you not pushing for fornicators and adulterers to be prosecuted legally?? Where is the fight against greed if Money is the root of all evil?
Abortion is an atrocious Sin. It is. But Sin will be dealt with in its due time. Alcohol, which has led to more deaths (violence, murder, rape, abuse, adultery, fornication, ill conceived children, drunk driving, etc) gets a pass...no one is stomping in the streets about this because that hits a little too close to home.. so lets single out the young women who are considering abortion?...this seems to be the height of hypocrisy..
Please tell me where in the bible the following conclusions run counter to Christ's actions:
1) Christians have the right to follow Jesus and their reward will be Heaven. 2) Non believers have the freedom to not follow Jesus and their reward will be Hell. 3) Neither of these have to do with laws that govern people. Thoughts?
Exactly! A sad truth!
I spent most of my childhood feeling unwanted and even hated. I felt bullied by both classmates and family members, picked last for every game or sport, and felt pretty worthless. I grew up raised on Christ, but even felt judged by most of the other church growers. In fifth grade I was forced to join the softball team, because we didn't have enough players otherwise, but still no one wanted to practice with me, I was forced to practice alone. One sunny day I threw the ball high into the air, playing catch with myself, because even though I did not want to play, I still wanted to help the team win. The sun got in my eyes and I was hit in the face. The teacher who finally came to me said I had been hunched over the ground for about 5mins before he noticed the blood on the ground. 5 mins of everyone playing around me thinking it was just some cry for attention and ignoring me. By pro choice logic, I should never have been allowed to live. Please watch this video and be better. We have to stop thinking this way. Just because a choice exists does not make it right. Be better, choose better, and stop coming up with selfish excuses for murder. I love a good honest life now working in healthcare. My family and I have never been closer, all has been forgiven and I'm doing fine. So no, I don't think it would have been better if I was aborted. Give life a chance, because life will always find a way

Well according to her logic then my mom shouldn't exist and SHE IS THE MOST AMAZING person I have ever met and my role model in life. She came from two teenage parents who both abandoned her, she was neglected, and then her grandparents raised her in a trailer park doing the best they could. Guess what, she put herself through college, became a teacher, and is the best mom in the world. I wouldn't exist without her and she shaped me through her resilience, grace, and strength. She's the rock of my family.

As a mother who conceived in rape in poverty, joblessness and in freshman year of college and whom raised an incredibly successful and happy adult, I thank you for stepping up as a man to protect humans whom are all wanted by someone.
It's white right?
"and whom raised an incredibly successful and happy adult"! NO, you didn't. You cannot be a whom in a sentence structured the way you did it. You are a "WHO". Where did you people learn English?
@@Demun1649 Wow. You really showed me.
Every single sentence you wrote is not only a lame attempt at an insult but grammatically incorrect and structured like you - wrong.
First, you need ellipses in the first sentence before using the opening quotation mark since it's a partial quote. The exclamation point is the improper use of the ending punctuation. There is no exclamation point here. If the exclamation point was used correctly, it would be placed inside the quote. However, since you didn't even quote the quote correctly, it's a moot point. Second, NO in all caps is the improper way to spell no in this instance. It would be considered a misspelling. All caps is only used in some acronyms. You have also used the comma after NO incorrectly.
The third sentence also is incorrectly structured. The proper sentence structure would be: You cannot use whom as you did in this sentence.
(Which by the way is not true. I can give you a who vs. whom grammar lesson another day. Let's first help you learn how to properly structure a basic English sentence. You did not structure one sentence correctly in your comment.)
You are a "WHO". Again, using all caps in this word is incorrect. You're also using quotation marks around this word incorrectly. If you're referring to me as the World Health Organization then all caps would be correct. However, quotes would still be incorrect. Furthermore, this is factually incorrect. I am a woman not a "WHO". Likewise, this would be classified as hate speech as you misgendered me and failed to respect my pronouns.
I was hoping you would at least make some reparation in your final sentence. Alas, no. I am not a people so this sentence not only is factually incorrect but grammatically incorrect. If I was a people, the sentence would properly read as follows: Where did you people learn English from? Additionally, you committed another hate crime by me misgendering and failing to respect my collective pronoun preference.

Most Precious Blood of jesus Christ, cover your son who has sold himself to the serpent who is crushed by the bare heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven. Ave Maria.
The "location" aspect of it gets my blood boiling, too. There was an abortion doctor who I think went to jail because he would server the spines of the babies who survived with scissors. That was rightfully seen as murder. But ten seconds earlier it would be called healthcare. How can anyone be okay with that?
even if abortion is legal and people debate when life does or does not begin, to kill a child that is alive outside the womb is 100% murder.

Your story is very similar to mine. My birth mom was struck by lightning, and the lightning killed my mother and left me blind. I suffered so much abuse in an orphanage until I was adopted and was brought to America at the age of 20. My biological family left me because of my disability, and my father had left my mom and said I wasn't his child way before I was even born. so, it's only because I've been made in the image of God I find value, worth, and purpose. I live in America and am eager to go back to Rwanda to help blind and visually impaired people who are either orphans or poor like I was.

As someone who was in foster care where I was abused and a home where I was neglected, I love being told that these things meant I shouldn’t have been born. And when I bring this up, plenty of pro-choice people have been happy to tell me that they do wish I had been aborted-simply because I am pro-life. Yet, I’m the hateful one 🤷🏻♀️
Wow! I’m shocked that they said that to you; But, come to think about it, you were speaking to murderers.
God bless you for surviving that horror and praise Him for bringing you through it. Abortion allows many demons into a person's life, especially of murder and pride. No wonder they reacted so cruelly to your story, that is just pure, unfiltered evil. All they can do is project.
Those people sound demonically possessed. This world needs an exorcism.

Oh well I guess you were the higher percentage that didn't decide to shoot up a school huh
My parents didn't want me or love me- and yes, I'm very sure and serious about this- but if I wasn't here, the people I have saved over a twenty year nursing career may not be here. My life has value to all of humanity because I care and take care of others.
Your birthday isnt just some day, Your birthday is the day G-d decided the world could no longer exist without you.
Glad you are here!
Jesus valued you before you helped anyone. He may have sent you to save people, but that's not why He loves you.
@@Nsinger998 that might be a bit hyperbolic. Yes, God loves us, but saying the world couldn't exist without us may be a tad much. We dont want too big an ego.
Your life has value because you are made in the image of God.
This is what I would write back:
Dear Former Embryo, The time to determine if your child is wanted, if you can financially support it and if you can bring it into a loving/nurturing environment is BEFORE YOU CREATE AN EMBRYO!
Their argument for that is the case of rape which is of course ridiculous because this reason behind an abortion has been for a very small percentage of abortions. We need to know how to respond to their arguments.
@@ConsumeristScroffa .03% of abortions are the whole of the events that they use to justify the other 99.97% of abortions.
In 1979, I was recently divorced with 3 small children and had a brief fling, that resulted in pregnancy. I had planned to give the baby up for adoption because I could barely support myself and my children, but about 3 months before my baby was born things started working out in my life and I was able to keep my baby. Abortion never crossed my mind.
One thing that struck me watching the development of Baby Olivia. Often times the same people who are pro-choice and have no trouble killing human embryos, also refuse to eat eggs because that is killing an animal. Eggs contain the embryos of chickens. I have a friend who says she 'won't eat anything that had a mother' so she is vegan. She is anti-death penalty because we shouldn't kill even serial killers. But she is completely pro-choice. This is just unfathomable to me.
Abortion is less like the death penalty and more like self defense.
I'll bet you eat eggs. You seem like an egg eater.
She is over-compensating for the fact that she does not, in fact, value life at all. It's disposable to her.
@@deltab9768 I honestly wish I could give you a hug. I feel like you've been through something truly horrific. 😢
Even though being a vegan and pro-abortion represents a gross misalignment of morals, you slightly misunderstand why most vegans don't eat eggs. It has nothing to do with what's in the egg, which is UNfertilized. Vegans refuse to eat eggs because of the cruelty the hens endure to produce them.
This is one of the best pro-life videos I’ve ever seen. The video of the former-abortionist describing the different abortion procedures was heart-breaking. I was weeping while watching it. At one point, I didn’t think I could hear anymore. I felt physically ill. Break our hearts for what breaks yours, Lord. Thank you Mr. Winger for being a light and exposing the darkness and humanity’s deep need for Christ.
Same. I kept pausing and sobbing. I actually saw that same video years ago but this time my 10 month old baby was sitting right next to me being as sweet and cute as could be, and I just can’t handle the thought of anything hurting her like that.
Please. Do you weep for all the starving, abused, and neglected children too?
@@dominicpardo4783 Did you even watch the video? That’s what this entire thing is about.
@@alyssarooney8942 Umm no. It wasn't.
@@lordimyre3685 But if each person helped someone? Or stopped voting for the party that blocks legislation that would aid those that are less fortunate.
I had a Daughter at 16 yo! I married her Father at that same age. We were poor but we grew up and figured it out and we’re on our own. We are still married almost 24 years now. We gave her the life we both wish we had growing up. Stable, full of love with her needs met. She was sassy and rebellious as a teen but now she is in her early 20’s and she’s hard working, sweet and we are now good friends. She has a toddler son and he is the light and joy in our life. We just saw him today and spoiled him and hugged and kissed him before he left with his Momma. What a gift! We thank God for our Family and the experience it gave us to be closer to Him having a keener understanding of the heart of a Father.
I find myself almost crying (and crying) a lot listening to the stories of God’s Grace. I encourage you to have your voice heard more. May god bless you.
When I got pregnant I was devastated and completely unprepared for motherhood. I didn't want to be pregnant, didn't want to be a mother, didn't want to feel ashamed that I had committed adultery (was not married). I tried to deny what was happening to me and even considered getting rid of my baby. I was horrified by what I had done with my life, and I didn't think I could move forward. My baby was not loved or wanted when she was conceived, except by God. She had no money at birth and I had no income. My boyfriend at the time was emotionally and psychologically abusive to me and hardly ever changed her diaper. Thankfully my family and friends embraced me and my daughter, but if they had not, I don't know what I would have done. I struggled through abuse before and after she was born, because I chose to have sex with someone I barely knew and I didn't think anything bad would happen. I'm not looking for pity or sympathy. I say this to contradict the messed up thinking which justifies killing parts of ourselves to make life convenient and to cover up our other sins; our shame. To say that human love, money and safety/security are the only things that give us value and worth is to 1) reject God, 2) condemn to death millions of people walking this earth, and 3) miss the beauty of God's grace healing our brokenness. We live in a fallen world. Every one of us will experience a lack of love, finances, and/or security at some point in our lives. That doesn't mean we should die. It doesn't mean we have no value and would be better off to never live. It doesn't make us simply victims. It makes us human. It's an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power and love. It's a chance for us to learn and grow. Our worth, as he said, comes from God alone, not anything we have or do. Even death cannot take that away.
Life has already begun. Whoever chooses to end it is killing a human, no matter where or how small they are. Life is worth living. No matter what. Thank you Mike for making this video and sharing your story with us!

Just imagine if the abolitionists of old had said, “I am personally opposed to slavery, but I allow each person to choose their own position.” Slavery would have never ended under this dangerously permissive attitude. And yet this mirrors the modern attitude of those who hold a pro-choice view.
I am personally opposed to murder but to each their own…..
It’s interesting where the logic goes when you extrapolate it
Brilliant!
💯
The prediction thing gets overlooked too much. I wasn't wanted. I was abused, neglected, undernourished, and have similar stories to Mike's chewed up helmet story. I had to stop playing with the neighbor kids, because I was weak, and dizzy from malnourishment. I could never have predicted the lives that God has touched through me, the children I was able to give hope to, adults I was able to encourage. Yeah, I suffered, and still bear some level of emotional burden, but God gives it meaning, and a purpose, and uses it to help others.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing. God bless.
I’m so sorry you were treated that way! Hugs and prayers for you! God loves you and wants you!!! ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏
I'm not religious but I do believe on the whole it's a good thing. Purpose and guidance are powerful things in life. I believe religion gives you the best of those things. You can look to other systems but those systems will always fail you. Government, social justice and other types of groups. None of those things serve a higher purpose. Humanly wants.
Sometimes God gives us a day at the beach. Sometimes that beach is Normandy. Either way if you're walking with God it's worth it.
With this logic, these people are only a step or two removed from "mercy killing" orphans, abuse victims, and/or poor and homeless people.
I love how God used her note for good! It was the catalyst for you to make this video. I pray that this video reaches millions and changes hearts and mind.

@@HarryNicNicholas because being made in the image of God is the ONLY thing that gives you true value. Otherwise you are just a clump of random atoms, created out of randomness with no more value than a rock or an ant. But the reality is you are loved by God and created in His image and have value because of it.
@@HarryNicNicholas this isn’t even necessarily a religious issue. Murder is wrong, atheists agree.
@@HarryNicNicholas We don't even have to appeal to God on this one. As Felix said, Most atheists believe that objective morals and duties are a reality as much as Christians do. 99.9% of people believe murder is an objectively wrong thing. Murder, in this case, we shall define as one taking the innocent life of another human being. Tell me abortion isn't murder, and we'll get out of your business ;)
@@frenchtoast2319 they agree because they were given a moral-conscience by God, whether they chose to believe that or not. An atheist has no system to justify right/wrong good/bad in their world-view. If we're all just stardust bumping into each other and our thoughts are just chemicals fizzing, there is no standard for them to justify what they think is right/wrong, since nothing has value or purpose.
46:00 My sister is married to a Chinese man. Sometimes they go to visit his family, and his grandfather (who is in his 80s) will talk about memories that haunt him. One is of a time when he worked for the government in his village, and he was told to go execute some "counter revolutionaries." They were his neighbors that he had known all of his life, and he went to their house and shot them. He says he knew they weren't dangerous. They were just regular people, but he was doing what he was told to do... and it still haunts him 50 years later. We so need Jesus! If you read this, please pray that my brother-in-law will be able to share Jesus with his grandfather before he dies.

She seems to think that a baby's value is determined by how much its parent wants it. Literally "if your parents don't consider you a blessing, you deserve death."
Ouch!
Yes, they're trying to fit economical values into humans, to say they're worth to live or not...
These is the 1 0 1 basic for eugenics, featured from the 3rd reich and perfectioned from pro-killing.
“Wanting” says a whole lot more about the character of the parent than the worth of the baby.
@@llamasugar5478 so if a woman does not want to be a mother she has a bad character. Got it 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@jennifersimpson4067 If her “wanting/not wanting” a baby has higher priority than the life of another human, than yeah, she has questionable character. Especially when it’s not really just a choice between kill or keep. Releasing a child for adoption is one of the most loving, courageous things a woman can do.
My parents fought pretty much everyday of my life. I watched fight so many times. They literally hated each other. Home life was a struggle and at times I HATED that I was born. Nothing about my childhood was ideal. In fact it sucked mostly. Do you know what would have sucked even more? If they killed me before i even had a chance. Yes, childhood was a struggle. Now, at 44yo, I am successful and have 2 beautiful children of my own. One of which has Cerebral Palsy and is 100% dependant. His life has been a struggle every second of every day. Guess what would have been worse for him? Yep, if we had chose to kill him before he even had a chance. He, even though disabled, has a life worth living and he finds reasons to smile and be happy. Abortion has never been nor never will be anything other than pure selfishness and hatred.
I had one of the most traumatic, abusive, neglected childhoods you can think up and for many years I thought my life was a curse.
I know now at 45 that I was beyond blessed for all the lord showed me and taught me through those very difficult days.
I see the world from all different perspectives, I have love and compassion that is overwhelming at times because I know how true heartache feels, through that it brought me closer to other and able to see them outside of my own perspective and views..
I see people who have never faced a challenge or struggle and their selfish, arrogant and self absorbed..I’m blessed!!
Thank you for your testimonial. Blessings.

Thank you for persevering and praising God for what He taught you through that dark valley. I'm currently experiencing familial conflict because a relative claims to want to have our families spend time together, but also thinks I'm cursed (due to being chronically ill) and is concerned it will wear off on their children if we interact much. It's baffling and hurtful since I'm unlikely to be able to have my own children and looked forward to helping with nieces and nephews, and frankly it's a little offensive, too. But the worst part is that they can't see that I'm a better person for having become so sick! God has humbled me, and through the example of others helping and loving me in my illness I learned how to love and help people, too. I know that life is fleeting and precious, I know that God is the gracious sustainer, I love to encourage others and help random people whenever possible. I wouldn't have known any of that if I had been healthy enough to keep chasing my own ambitions. Thank you, God for having a better path for me! So I just wanted to say thanks for verbalizing that you too, realized your extreme hardships weren't a curse, but were the vehicle for eventual good. Praise God!
I love the assumption that it's impossible for someone to come to enjoy life if their childhood was lacking. "Well, i don't think they'd live well, so why live at all?" is such a nihilistic world view, and it really explains where they're coming from. No hope, no dreams, no real life.
The Govs are trying to take all of our firearms now before the next big genocide. The flu shots didn't kill enough people. Robots will be taking over most employment opportunities. Children of today have no future unless they are born in the elite class and have the obedience of the low IQ military/police to serve them.
There's only so many resources in the world and the elites want most of it for themselves as they gain more power by the day. If you have a boy he will be a tax slave. If you have a girl she will be brainwashed to be an unproductive single mom or abortion junkie. Or sell herself for money on OnlyFans because most real jobs pay so little.
I have no hope. My dreams only exist in fictional escapism from my dreadful life. And I can't afford a "real life." The only thing I can afford is gas and food to get to work where more than 50% of my time and energy is stolen from me in taxation. Living under constant camera surveillance and pigs in uniform farming traffic tickets from the poor who have expired tags. This is no world for a future generation.
Then there's the chance your boy will be forced into a draft to go die for war mongering profiteering. Very few people can afford to home school as well.
Fathers have no parental rights which destroys the family unit because of the laws. Fathers are just child support/alimony targets/ATMs.
Give the elites nothing. Spend nothing. If bovine were smart enough to realize they are domesticated for humans benefit would they still reproduce willingly? Our entire world is one large Animal Farm evolving into 1984. The future for 99.99% are work prisons and hiding underground from the Govs/nuclear radiation/Pharma tyranny.
I don't even want to talk to women because I don't have Johnny Depp wealth backing me up in court. But don't worry because women still get access to my hard work in Gov benefits to freeze their eggs. Clown planet.
All the while the elites are coming for your homes, firearms, vehicles, gold, freedom, everything. CCP is the world's future. You live in a prison facility working long days with suicide nets, armed guards, and cameras in your tiny cell you have to pay rent to live in.
Beautifully worded 😍
And why should the mother be able to decide for their child, whether or not they get live their life?
I love men who fight to protect the lives of the most vulnerable (unborn children). Huge respect!
Thank you. It is hard for men in that we can never be faced with pregnancy and the fear that comes with it. But we do innately understand that life is precious (yeah, yeah, we are morons about so many other things).
@@craigwillms61 )))) Our men now face unimaginable things at war in Ukraine! I could never be at the front lines!
Thank you for not being on the "hate men" wagon or the "it's the woman's body so men must be silent" wagon. Yes, many women have been hurt by men in various ways; some of those ways have led to pregnancies. Incest and rape are horrible things. Abandoning a pregnant teen girlfriend is a horrible thing. Those things still don't justify punishing an innocent person for another's wrongs. A baby is innocent. I know a man whose girlfriend's cousin took her out of town on a "vacation". In reality she aborted that man's child. He had no knowledge of her pregnancy and she gave that man no choice. Sadly, men are denied a choice of their children living. A baby is the child of two parents - not the property of one. It is not a parasite or a fetus; it's a child. HUGE RESPECT TO YOU FOR LOVING AND RESPECTING MEN TRYING TO DEFEND UNBORN BABIES from being dehumanized, devalued, and having their right to life denied. Slavery is wrong. The Holocaust is wrong. Abortion is wrong.
Yes, where are ALL the men??? Let me rephrase, where are the GOD fearing men???
@@CottageCupcake I'm one. Not perfect , but maturing, growing, and becoming Christ-like.
I really can understand how people think like that. I was born completely unexpected. My mom was in her late 40s and already had three kids and was told she would never have another kid and 19 years later I was born. My dad became an alcoholic the first 16 years of my life so I was born into abuse and they were definitely not financially ready for me but yet I thank God every for what he has done in my life and where it is going. My mom could of got an abortion because they said I wouldn't be healthy and I am. They told my mom she had cancer and refused to take treatment because If she did it would kill me and by the time I'd be born the cancer wouldn't be treatable anymore and by the grace of God it was never cancer to begin with. According to that logic I'm not a blessing and in the end my mom and dad both told me I was. Abortion is nothing short of murder and if my mom had gone through with it I wouldn't be here to tell people my testimony. Jesus is so amazing and despite all I believe he died and resurrected for me so that we don't have to perish but have ever lasting life.
Amen
I wanted to share my story about abortion and adoption. I had gotten pregnant after a divorce and I was planning on getting an abortion. My older daughter had overheard my plan and cried uncontrollably. She knew that it was wrong and she begged me not to kill the baby. She was only 12 years old at the time. I broke down and realized that she was right and in my heart as a Christian I knew I could not go through with it. I ended up giving my only son up for adoption to a loving family that could not have children of their own. He has been a wonderful blessing for them and for me. We just celebrated his 19th birthday last week. I am so grateful for my daughter and the fact that I put aside my pride and gave birth to him. I thank the Lord for his life. For those who have had an abortion or have thought about it there is hope for forgiveness.
The person who left that note had an abortion they have to find a way to rationalize it. Let's be praying for her 🙏
That was my first thought too. It shows the power of rationalization of sin to take a person down a very evil path. It's heartbreaking, because the only path to healing is through repentance: agreeing with God, acknowledging the sin, and thus being made capable of receiving grace. May God cause the blinders to fall from her eyes.
Agreed.
No doubt. Her conscience got triggered bigtime.
Understand that we don't necessarily know that. Some people have been so indoctrinated by leftest talking points that they don't have or need a reason to believe them. They've just been played by the media/propoganda, education institutions, and evil itself. Forgive them, they don't know what they're doing.
It’s very very rare for a person to come back from beliefs as ghastly as these. Think about that person in your life who believes that it’s abuse to disallow a child to have a sex change. “Yeah… I know I’m sorry about that one, I just didn’t think about what happens for the next 80 years after the genital mutilation was complete, give me a break I’ve been busy” A person would more likely ,spontaneously combust rather than destroy their sense of self with one admission.
I'm pretty sure that EVERY human being is born into a life of "suffering" and "death".. Does she know that there is no such thing as a perfect life? Does she know that every person dies? Also, if she knows that death is a "bad" thing, then how can she support abortion? You're right that they don't use logic when coming to these conclusions.
Excellent points made. We are all going to die at some point unless we are alive in the end when Christ returns.
Ikr, this is basically eugenics logic and the demonic whispers of utilitarianism. If a few will make the many suffer, slay the few to amuse the many. The individual matters not, only the many and all that matters is one's happiness. If happiness is not achieved, one must act towards it, regardless of what one must do so long as happiness outweighs the grief done in accomplishing such things.
Nazis could literally just use the argument that jews bring more grief to society than good, so killing them is not just permissible but even moral.
@@ceasedesist9676 Wise words. From observation (my family is strongly pro choice) this argument is often underpinned by one (or both) of two grievances. Either against the ‘ patriarchy’ ( ie bad men have been using women’s fertility against them for centuries and have become corrupted by that power) or against humanity itself (too many people so no more rhinos/ sharks/ coral reefs etc). Read a recent article by the feminist author Caitlin Moran in the UK ‘Times’ which broadly combined the argument of the note writer here with a heavy ‘it’s really tough being a mother so whether I want to become one is none of your business’ undertow. Ultimately, however illogical ad hominem arguments may be, they can be surprisingly difficult to refute.
Evil is illogical.
Well said
I saw a newborn once. I'm used to seeing babies after they've been out for a while. This baby was 3 days old. I was like, he looks kinda squished. His mother was like yep, he's new.
One of the most beautiful comments I have ever read.
That’s really cute. 😊
That note is just such evil logic...
Just replace the word "embryo" with ‘life’ to get another perspective.
1. 'Life' not wanted or loved = Should be killed.
2. 'Life' not being financially supported = Should be killed.
3. 'Life' in an abusive environment = Should be killed.
How is that if any of these 3 points were used to justify killing a life 'OUTSIDE' of the womb, it would be called evil and barbaric...
yet when 'IN' the womb, any of these 3 points are used to justify killing life.
Simple. Because no woman should be obligated by law to carry an unwanted embryo/fetus for several months if she doesn’t wish.
@@2l84me8 True. Unless the overall goals is to give women less rights than a corpse. You can't use organs from a corpse to save a child without permission from that person prior to their death.
@@jennifersimpson4067 In most cases, the "embryo", or child, in the woman's body did not get there without her permission. Can we talk about the vast majority of abortions where this is the case (rather than the rare case in which the woman did not have a choice in getting pregnant)?

@@cnault3244 why would they need an abortion if they're not pregnant? Get it?
Anti-choice?
My mom almost aborted me. I was the unplanned, “extra” kid. And yes, I was unloved, emotionally and physically abused, and my family had endless financial troubles. And when I was younger I thought well, I guess it would have been fine if I was aborted, after all I wouldn’t exist and therefore I wouldn’t know the difference, I can take it (life and existence) or leave it. And I thought this for many years and was pro choice as a result. After all, what’s the harm if the baby simply never gained rational thought and therefore doesn’t learn of its own loss? It wasn’t until one day I looked at my husband and thought, I’m glad I was born, even if it were just to love him. I’m sure I would think the same if/when God blesses us with children. And that’s when I realized what was missing my whole life prior, was the notion that *I* mattered, that there are things only *I* could do and can do, and that I *can* make a difference in the world, however small. I slowly became pro-life after that epiphany, and found God along the way as well. And I think that’s actually the psyche, deep down, for a lot of pro choicers, the feeling that they actually don’t matter at all, and that nobody does in the “grand scheme of things”. They have no meaning in life beyond self gratification, no identity, no purpose. (Also why they derive so much meaning and comfort through gender, race and sexuality labels) For me, it took gaining a sense of purpose and looking beyond myself and any shallow “meaning of life” to find out what it means to be pro-life. I hope a lot of these people can find their way there as well.
I'm glad you came to know your worth in life, and have found happiness.
Glad you’re here and a part of God’s family!
This isn't rational analysis though. It's just blind emotion. Pro-life isn't the position that people should find meaning in their lives. Pro-life is the position that abortion should be illegal and is equivalent to murder. Pro-choice is the position that people should have legal control over their own reproduction and that women should not be violently forced to bring every pregnancy they have to completion. It's easy to see that an absolutist pro-life position is irrational. You start from the extreme cases, and work your way in in your analysis. If a woman is raped and gets pregnant, it's monstrous to suggest she should be legally forced to carry the pregnancy to term, but that's the pro-life position. It's morally indefensible. What this tells you though is that the abortion issue isn't as open and shut as pro-lifers would want you to think. They _want_ a simple solution to the dilemma but there _just_ isn't one. It's a form of reality denial and fanaticism. I can appreciate people who want to promote the idea of the value of the unborn but their zealot attitudes - usually based on nothing but religious belief - on this point are downright dangerous.
@@superdog797
"You start from the extreme cases and work your way into your analysis"
You started off with rape as a reason for pro-choice.
Rape and incest are a very small percentage of abortions being conducted. And to top it off women who have been raped or a victim of incest are rarely heard from in this debate.
I watched 2 full documentaries in favor of abortion, and you want to know how many women were interviewed who had an abortion due to rape? 0. The documentaries are on hbo max if you want to watch them.
True cases are not black or white. It's the solution to these cases that are hard lined. You do not get to kill a baby. Period. Now if we want to discuss getting help, resources, convictions etc for the "grey" areas fine. Let's do that.
I do have a question though.
Why do people get so upset at pro-life posters that show aborted babies?
If it has absolutely no value, and is just "ending a pregnancy" than you should pay it the same mind as you do any slasher film, or graphic Halloween decoration.
Yet these posters get severe back lash. Why? Is it because you are now confronted with what is actually being done to that "fetus" and you just can't stand the thought of it, so you try and silence the truth so you can sleep better at night with your "clump of cells" just a "fetus" terminologies?
And what exactly do you mean "violently forced to bring a pregnancy to completion"?
And last is the religious argument.
Science says that it is a human life. It is no longer just the woman's body.
At the very least be honest enough to say that you believe a woman can end someone else's life in favor of her own (if you want to get flowery with words).
@@superdog797 I’m not here to offer a “rational analysis” on the issue of abortion. And I didn’t say that pro life is the position that people should find meaning in their lives. I said that maybe if people can find their meaning in life they would then realize that every aborted child had their potential meaning and value snuffed out. I do believe that abortion is equivalent to murder. Let me ask you a question - why is the murderer charged with double homicide when the victim is a pregnant woman? Do you believe it shouldn’t be the case?
There is a rawness, a vulnerability, emotion in your telling of the story of your youth that moves me. Thank you for being so candid.
The video enactment of what a Dr does during all 3 trimesters of an abortion was unbelievably frightening. I didn’t really educate myself on the process just always felt it morally wrong and is a legal act of murder. I wasn’t prepared to see what is actually done from an abortion. My heart hurts. I had a pregnancy at 20 years old out of wedlock. I had a a “friend” who encouraged an abortion. I am sickened that I actually gave it a thought. But I knew it was wrong. It absolutely felt wrong. A couple of weeks later I went to the Dr to have an ultrasound…. Twins! God blessed my body to carry 2 healthy babies to full term. I made a hard decision but the right decision to place my twins with a family who couldn’t have children. I went through the adoption process, picked a family and let me tell y’all… the twins (I’m going to leave their names out of it) had an amazing life. We reunited when they were 16 years old. And have stayed in touch since. Baby girl is in the marines and baby boy is in college hoping to work at the UN.
I am pro life, always will be. Men need to feel comfortable standing against it too w/o the fear of “it’s a woman’s body. Her body, her choice” nonsense.
Thanks for this Mike. Grace, Peace and a truth.
I will add, not everyone has had the gift of reconnecting with their birth babies. Not every mother or father has ended up with good news about the life their baby may have had from being adopted. So I want to recognize that my story could quite possibly be “not typical”. But what I can tell u is that those 16 years of wondering how they were, if they were loved, if they felt abandoned by me, if they were taken care of- was worth the worry and sadness I felt of not knowing, rather than aborting. Let’s call it what it is… taking a life. I have yet to hear any kind of excuse that justifies barbaric behavior of killing a baby. I’ve worked with people who have had developmental delays, young people with AFS, young people in the system of foster care etc. and let me be clear, every single life that I served in the community was a blessing. A blessing to me. Every single one! When we have working limbs, we see someone who doesn’t as not enjoying life or having “good “ quality of life. I suggest having a conversation with someone who may have physical, or physiological disabilities and see what they say. I guess the point I’m getting at it is this- imagine the woman who wrote this letter, having a conversation with an at risk youth, who was kicked out of their home at 14, or ran away because his or her mom/dad was an addict, or abuse or neglect was happening in the home. Imagine looking that 13,14 year old in the eyes and saying” you would have been better off if your mother killed you while I were in the womb” or “now your victim of this terrible world. There is nothing beautiful about you. No blessings can come from your existence “. I can barely get myself to write these examples. I’m a Case Manager for at risk youth and serve these young people because they are absolutely a blessing and have value.
I could probably go on and on and on. I’m passionate about this topic and I will absolutely stand against the crowd !
Back when I was in college one of my instructors showed the class an actual live video of an abortion procedure. Seeing that precious baby pulled out in pieces was horrific. The mental gymnastics some pro choicers contrive in their minds to make this gruesome procedure acceptable never ceases to amaze me. If we can contrive a justification for such a horrific procedure as this then we can pretty much justify anything in this world.
That was really beautiful to read. You are a wonderfully brave and amazing lady... so says I anyways. You hit a nail speaking about men being nervous of standing against it, because it's a strong emotional argument... factual one if you like, that we're not the ones who have to pay the price. I knew and loved very much a girl who told me she was very nearly aborted, she was very much against it and was the one to make me think and change my mind on it. I myself don't think it's actually murder, I understand why you and others do though, but I do think the situation has gone far too far, because these are human lives we're destroying however we cloak it in medical terminology. My girlfriend told me someone she knew had had nine abortions. And like you say when you see how it's done, when you learn how aware they are, how developed at that stage... makes you shudder.
@@ericar.c.3340 Just replying to this addendum, I myself am totally blind and have very poor hearing that's got progressively worse over the years. Talking to my girl, and hearing about babies with other conditions being aborted (apologies I know you don't care for the word... habit), makes me think well what if they'd known before I was born that I would be blind and deaf. Might my mum have been convinced to get rid of me? Maybe not then, but I can see it down the line.
i have never seen the actual procedures displayed this way....this is brutal and completely evil...
My mom was struggling with alcohol that she didn’t even know she was pregnant until she was 6 months. She went to a clinic and was told she was too far along. My two older brothers were aborted.
I had 2 step dads, worked multiple jobs to help pay bills. Sadness was my homeostatic state most of my life, happiness scared me and made me feel uncomfortable.
My father was unwanted and given up for adoption, had he been aborted, had I been aborted, my 4 beautiful daughters would not be here.
I detest abortion
I was never wanted or loved. The earliest memory I have is my mother yelling at me that she wished I’d never been born. My father hung around until he thought I could take care for myself. I think I was about two years old, possibly younger. I can’t remember how many times I was beaten by my mother. I was constantly physically, emotionally and mentally abused practically from my birth until I left home at 17. I was never allowed to have friends or birthday parties, so I wasn’t socially trained. This made me unable to understand the body/facial indicators that those who had friends understand without thinking. I chose to figure out how to become a better person. What I came up with is that for every situation I must determine what my mother would do and do the exact opposite. I’m now 68 and my Opposition Theory worked well. It didn’t fixed everything but it allowed me to function as a productive member of society. I’m not posting this for sympathy but to educate others that if you can survive your childhood, you can survive anything.
Amen!
Jesus loves you Jade.
@@rickheinrichs2405 Thank you. 🙏🏻
Jesus loved you from the very start!!! And I am so saddened by what you went through as an innocent child!!! You are strong and Jesus has filled you with His joy and love and forgiveness! You deserve all the blessings God has for you dear child of God!!!!
My mother's doctor recommended an abortion because I wasn't "moving". Here I am, 33 years later, doing amazing in life.
Do you still like to chill out and sit very still?! 😂😂😂. Glad you’re here.
According to the note-writer's logic, everyone should be killed out of mercy. The human world we are born into itself is quite abusive and unloving.
I raised my 5 in a trailer. They were happy and good kids. The answer to poverty is working hard and having the emotional strength to bear it and know it is only for a time.
Seems like they are projecting their own death wish on to everyone else. Must be miserable. They actually think they are trying to be good people but it goes wrong because the moral system they try to develop starts from premise that the world is irredeemably awful and there’s no purpose to being here anyway.
@@brittybee6615 exactly. How can people like this properly function in life? They cant really.
@@fajile5109 Then why not avoid the only act that drags other humans I to exsistance?
Sadly, I've seen several people post here and elsewhere that humanity should die. I don't see much point to a world without humanity, or something like it, that can recognize how great it is to be alive.
I’m continually amazed at how vigorously people are willing to defend murder of the unborn and all the rhetoric used to justify it.
I have to constantly remind myself that once a person refuses God, there is nothing that is beyond them.
Also vigorously the same people will fight to protect trees or animals.

If you look at the moral arguments for veganism, they are nearly identical to arguments against abortion. You can point these things out to them and they’ll squirm, trying to find a way for it to all make sense. It would almost be funny if it weren’t also so incredibly tragic.
It blew my mind when you pointed out that the solution to possible death (in her note) is death. It’s so ironic.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful Olivia video!
It’s not ironic,it’s moronic and shows a disgusting level of depravity!
If you don't have the ability to consider all the possible circumstances, it may seem ironic, the note's comment about death. But if you're faced with birthing a seriously deformed baby that's going to suffer and die in infancy from its condition and has no hope of overcoming it, OR you can prevent that pain and suffering with abortion, both outcomes are death, but which is the more rational choice?
What if you are in a war zone and raped by a soldier, and there's no food, no shelter, all resources are maxed out and you are on the run, should you be required to bring that baby into that world anyway, knowing it decreases your chances for survival if you do have the ability to end it? And let's say you already have several children that you need to ensure they survive.
Abortion isn't fun and games. But sometimes it's just a necessary choice for the person who is experiencing it.
There's no guarantees in love and life, and the answer isn't going to be the same for everyone.
For those of you who could have been aborted and weren't, the point is that you weren't, but that doesn't give you special say to dictate someone else's circumstances.
@@koreyb How do we really know what lies beyond death? If you're religious then you'll believe in an afterlife, and presumably a good one, for the innocent. Or maybe it's oblivion. Isn't a fetus in early gestation already oblivious to it's humanity? Will it say, Oh Sh!#, I don't get to be a human now? Doubtful. But those that are here and suffering, that is a slow, slow, death. And while some may want to experience it, you cannot speak for all. And if there's other circumstances to consider, which are deep, compelling and innumerable, then who are you to decide over those that are intimately involved in the situation? There's no blanket answer for anything in this complicated and diverse world so you need to stop being so simplistic. Because you will never know what it's like unless you're put in the worst of examples and have to live it first hand. You are just doling out platitudes.
Also, whether knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, decisions about life and death are made all the time. All the time. The cops in Uvalde by their inaction cost many children's lives recently. It's not a perfect world. Most people do the best they can with what they are dealt. If there's starving children on the brink of death, are they not worthy of your sympathy before someone else's fetus? Life definitely is a heirarchy, and if resources are not infinite and one must choose who to save, not all will win. Abortion can be considered a sacrifice just as easily as you can refer to it as murder. The focus shouldn't be on villifying abortion as much as it should be on seriously working together to make the world a better place and elevating people educationally, spiritually, etc, and the rest will fall into place, or at least as much as anything can on this planet.
@@hexopatrapulseheart7032 There is no way of knowing for sure what is beyond this life while you are still alive, and if I am right about there being nothing, you probably won't know even after you die because your brain will no longer be able to think so you will just stop existing before you know for sure one way or the other. But that's not the point. The point is that you can clearly see that all animals (wild animals, pets, even humans) do everything they can to live as long as possible because they try to avoid death for as long as they can hold out. And this is why murder is wrong even for those of us who are not religious. You have no right to determine for another animal when its life should end, and that includes the embryo's life. A life of misery is still better than the nothingness of death. And most likely, especially in America, they will not have a life of misery because we have a very high standard of living, and you have no right to deprive that person of the chance to experience the ups and downs of life, no matter how it eventually turns out for them.
@@koreyb I was adding to my first reply while your were writing yours, so I hope you see that too.
Sure, everything wants to live. And in nature, it's survival of the fittest.
Not everyone is "lucky" enough to live in America. You can go on about your wishful thinking but it's naive.
I was born 8 of 8 my mom miscarried twins so many would say that I'm the youngest of 6. I was wanted, but my family was not financially stable. I grew up eating literal pig slop. I kid you not. My fam asked the grocery stores if we could take the boxes of "rotten" food they'd normally give to the farmers for the pigs. I remember sifting through rotten food once a week. My father who is no longer like this was extremely emotionally abusive growing up, he was sick for years and it took a toll on his personality. By this womans logic I should've been aborted. As an adult I have had 6 miscarriages, one miracle baby, and another one on the way. My husband and I have been blessed to bring these babies into this world. Every single one of my children are indeed that, they are my child, not "just an embryo".
It’s been 10months, I pray all has gone well in your latest pregnancy and you and your baby are healthy 💗
I’m a grown man of 60 years of age.. and the abortion process I just witnessed made me cry .. that’s a abomination act..
I'm with you. I was in physical pain and cringing while listening to the processes.
I watched a speech where a pro lifer was explaining what happens during abortion and the pro abortion people were making a heck ton of noise and all I could think was they dont wanna think about the baby as a human because then all their logic falls apart and they have to see how cruel they are
yes... It's inducing cognitive dissonance it is a painful state to be in and they lash out with rage, it is not blissful at all.
That is the same thing all the oppressive genocidal regimes did too.
Hitler. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot...
Dehumanize the victims, it makes it easier to load them into cattle cars with a clear conscience.
cognitive dissonance \:
Cool story. I once watched a speech where pro-lifer person was explaining how abortion was murder and how we have to think of the children etc. and then when someone asked if they would be willing to pay more taxes to help provide medical services to pregnant women and help educate and provide for the child after it was born they said no, if the mother cannot afford taking care of her child it is her own fault even if it hurts the child. Or perhaps the many studies that show the most conservative anti-abortion areas have some of the highest abortion rates. So yes, the cognitive dissonance is real, as it appears pro-life people are only pro-life as long as it is not them who is having a unwanted child and/or there is no cost to them.
@@kurtfrederiksen5538 sure they said no, and sure our taxes could go to a lot more important things, but the pro life movement has been the biggest supporters of women after birth. Many people in the pro life movement have started free clinics, centers, clubs, and resources for women. There are many organizations that offer free baby showers for these women and I've seen their amazon baby registries always having everything bought out and thousands of dollars worth of gift cards and diapers gifted as well.
Not to mention most people I know who are involved in the prolife movement want to adopt or already do. My dream is to adopt.
There are so many homes and resources for unloved prego moms and postpartum moms out there that help. So please don't say we do nothing for these women after birth or that we don't care about them and that we only care about the baby. The babys life is so important and so it the moms. We want to empower women and tell them they are strong enough to take on the beautiful gift of motherhood not tell them they can't do it and kill their baby, and that their life if more important
I was born at 28 weeks, its crazy to think my mom could have (if she had wanted to) just ended my life even AFTER that point. God's heart is grieved, its for reasons like this that wrath is stored up for the day of wrath. Lord Jesus have mercy on us all 😪 (we all have sinned and fall short, and are justified freely by His grace through Jesus, for any woman feeling condemned, The Lord is near to the broken hearted, He will make us clean, the price He paid is enough. The whole world is under wrath and can find refuge in the ark of Christ)
Yes! My daughter was born at 26 weeks. 💗
Yep, I was born at 24 weeks! 😌
And exactly no-one thinks you should have been aborted. Pro-choice people don't want anyone to do an abortion if they don't want to have one. It was your mum's decision and your mum wanted you, that's great. But if your mum had made the horribly tough decision to abort you, I don't think she should be put in jail, put to death or even tortured for eternity in the lake of fire. Do you want mothers who aborted their babies to suffer eternally?
@@DM_Andy Do I want them to suffer for eternity? No, I want them to not commit the most DISGUSTING and EVIL sin of "deciding" to murder their child. You are disgusting too for trying to justify killing a baby. It is a horrible thing that some mothers do, and they WILL face judgement from that. I pray Jesus forgives them that sin, but they must repent and turn to Christ as their savior for a CHANCE at forgiveness. I believe in God's grace and mercy, and believe/pray he does forgive the horrible women who repent and beg for forgiveness. I am horrible too and am only redeemed by Christ. He is my redeemer. I pray they, too, are redeemed or they absolutely will burn for killing and celebrating the death of their baby.
@@DM_Andy Killing their baby shouldn’t be an option in the first place. It’s also so manipulative to act as if someone has to choose to care for either the mother or the baby. I can care about the life of both the mother and the baby. Both lives have worth. Not just one.
From pro-choice (what was I thinking) to pro-life is a journey I never thought as a survivor of domestic violence, then sexual assault by a church member was part of my destiny. Thank you pastor Mike for your commitment to teaching the truth and bringing hope in such an authentic way. Your ministry is amazing and I pray for you each day to stay strong, focussed and continue to serve us in the generous way you do with this amazing platform and ministry. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I appreciate knowing your childhood history. I had you pegged as someone who “grew up in a Christian family “.
My appreciation for you has gone up even higher than it was.
I’m thankful that your mom didn’t kill you. Love you brother!

When I was 15 years old I found out that I was pregnant. I was young and scared and had an aunt that tried with all her might to convince me that abortion was not only okay but also the only answer but I refused to believe that. I decided to put the baby up for adoption. However my aunt wasn't the only obstacle that I faced. When I was about 4 months pregnant the Dr. did this testing that was supposed to predict birth defects. It came back positive for spinal bifida and the Dr. then tried VERY HARD to convince me to abort. Again I refused. Then once I felt the baby kicking and moving I also decided that I was keeping my baby and vowed to love and protect it with ALL my might no matter what. On July 5th of that year I gave birth to a super healthy absolutely PERFECT baby girl that weighed 7lbs 5oz. I married her dad and we had 4 more beautiful healthy children.
Still I was pro-choice. Although I myself could never kill a baby I had family members that had repeated abortions and I shook it off by telling myself that it's between them and God.
Your video reached me in ways that nothing else had. I have had to live my life knowing that I was a product of rape. I believe that everytime my mother looked at me she was reminded of that rape. She told me I was a mistake and that I was never MEANT to be born. She explained to me how she TRIED to miscarry me MANY times and I struggled a LOT with that as a teenager. She gave me to her mother and I am thankful everyday for that because I WAS loved. After watching this video I am 100% pro-life. If a mother is not going to protect a child of God that IS meant to be born then SOMEONE needs to. Murder is NOT okay. Period. Thank you for this. God bless you.
My son was conceived in a violent rape. He’s now 35. Abortion was never an option for me. I’m Catholic and have always been pro-life/anti-abortion. He knows how he was conceived but not who his father is. I spent some time as a peer counselor to other rape victims. Those who abort have a harder time recovering because the abortion mimics the rape itself. In Finland where post-abortion is studied and tracked, about 40% of women who abort for ANY reason attempt suicide later. Rape/incest are constantly used as exceptions but it’s a horrible argument.
Abortion kills not just the baby but also the baby’s descendants forever. That’s why it’s better for you to have a millstone around your neck than to hurt a hair on a child’s head.
God bless.
You have a good heart, keep going ❤️❤️❤️
My wife's doctor tried to tell us that she should consider abortion since she already had one child with autism! I cannot imagine living without my beautiful baby daughter!!!!!!!
Anyone who tries to talk you into getting that horrible procedure deserves to be knocked down with a right hook and kicked hard in the head.
Thats your choice no one should pressure you
That footage of that doctor just made me cry. I've always been against abortion but it was just by default. Now knowing how traumatic it is I don't understand how so many people support it... We really are messed up as humans
No, just ignorant. That's why they're encouraging censorship. Free speech lets ideas spread and be challenged, resulting in the truth coming out. Same reason why abusers will isolate their partner to better manipulate them.
Many of them also don’t know how barbaric it is. There are several videos of people being interviewed on their stance before and after seeing videos like that. Thankfully they seem to always change their minds.
dude me too i was already prolife and this made me feel lik i was pro abortion before or something when i watched that. i cried so hard at the fetal ddevelopment vid too, like tats a perspon and all io see is a baby. i dont see a clump of cells thats a damn baby. i am mortified by people who abbort more than ever
Unless you're turning up with nappies and baby formula you aren't supporting the baby at all. What you're doing is taking away someone else's right to choose without knowing their reasons. Maybe they have preeclampsia and going to die unless they get one. Maybe they're trapped in an abusing household and dooming the child to the same abuse. You don't know why they want one but you want to take their choice away from them anyway.
@@brucewatkins7337 these are literally the same arguments that the note had also medical emergencies are NOT the same as oh I just don't have the money or I just don't like the responsibility. Don't want kids? Don't have sex. It's not about how you feel it's about what is objectively wrong. Your ignoring the baby's value like every other prochoice argument as well which shows how bad the cognitive dissonance really is
I have seen the doctor's explanation of the abortion procedures before, and it's still utterly chilling... horrifying!!
Yes. This is the first time a description has had me close to vomiting. I put my phone down because I knew if I watched, it would fuel nightmares. Audio only was bad enough...
The worst part is the mother chose that path. She chose to flush the baby, rip it apart, kill it, and tear it’s life away. And for what? So they didn’t have to deal with it, as if one trauma to the next is the answer to addressing their trauma.
And yet, we’ll do and pay anything to keep our dying pets alive. When the loving thing to do is let them go to avoid more suffering. It ALL comes down to 1 thing: SELFISHNESS- It isn’t about the baby or the pet, it’s about how WE feel! Thank you Mr. Winger for your faith, for your bravery, and for putting the TRUTH out there, I can’t believe anyone could watch this and not have a major heart adjustment. If they can’t, then they aren’t one of GOD’s children they belong solely to the devil.
"And yet, we’ll do and pay anything to keep our dying pets alive"
A bad argument, since we will also end our pet's life if they are suffering and cannot be healed. Should we do the same for humans if the person wants it?
@@cnault3244see MAID up in Canada...
@@cnault3244I'd say God decides a human's end. He put animals in the care of humans, even if he owns them. Animals are not on the level of humans.
There's a difference between "putting down" a human and allowing someone who's hooked up to machines, unable to be saved, can't do anything, to die naturally. That doesn't mean we give up on people who have conditions. We do everything to save them. But that's different than forcing someone not to die. If it seems God is calling that person home, it's alright to let go. Just don't make the decision that the person should die yourself.
A woman at my church had discovered cancer in her body. She began treatment that had no effect and was suffering badly. So she let go of the treatment and allowed God to take her home. That wasn't suicide at all. She didn't have herself killed by some artificial means.
As for animals, there's a point where a dog is so old and suffering that you can't just keep doing surgeries that the old dog likely won't survive anyways, have its hips replaced, etc. But people still do it even if the dog would rather spend its final moments going outside and playing, eating treats, and dying at rest instead of alive, miserable, and refusing to eat or drink.
This was really hard to watch, I had an abortion many many years ago, a decision I regretted immediately and still do. I know that God has forgiven me through Christ. I hope that one day when I meet Jesus face to face, my child will be right behind him.
I pray that your past decisions don’t affect you too much in a bad way but that, instead, they serve you and become a testimony of God’s true and beautiful forgiveness.❤️ Don’t forget that you are made new and that your past doesn’t define you anymore. We all did things we regret, that’s why Jesus died for us. You are not less loved and cherished then when you were wonderfully and beautifully made by God. Through Jesus’ eyes, you are still and will always be His overpriced, precious, irreplaceable daughter.💎 He has unimaginable treasures for you for when you meet and you will surely enjoy eternity with you child. This life is a glimpse of an eye, keep your eyes on the next one.😊 God bless you, hang upon God’s Grace and Love sister!💖
I have a beloved friend who also had an abortion many years ago, and I know she struggles with it because she brings it up a lot. She is a Christian, but she struggles with her faith so much, and I’m not sure how to help. Is there anything I could say or do next time she mentions it that might help, from your perspective? I love her and want to be sensitive, but truthful. She still explains why she had the abortion every time she brings it up. She’s trying to justify it and comfort herself, but she’s a mess about it.
You can pray for that . My aunt Suzy wanted to see Jesus first when she died and when she died she cried out jesus
My mom too…
I was supposed to have a brother. She still can’t talk about it to this day without crying.
@@alexr.3504 I think you should do exactly what you said you want to do. Be sensitive but truthful. "Hey, I know you're really upset about what happened, but the reasons don't matter anymore. What matters is that you have faith that your past has been wiped clean, and that you can use your experience to help other women if you have an opportunity to. You know it was wrong, so accept the forgiveness being offered to you, and come to church with me. You don't need to defend your actions to God, so don't feel like you have to defend them to me. We all make mistakes, but we learn." Etc.
That's my best advice.
The majority of us with disabilities have been told by our parents how doctors insisted that we would never be able to have a chance and flourishing in life. No matter how things may be difficult doctors were wrong. I don’t think the pro-choice truly grasp the implications underpinning their positions when they say such monstrous things to our faces.
My son had a cleft lip and palate. When they found it in the ultrasound, (we only knew the lip involvement then), they said many people choose to the end the pregnancy and asked if we wanted to. I was 26 weeks along. We said, “no, that’s not us.” So, they had us talk to a genetics counselor down the hall. She asked about doing an amniocentesis to test for genetic anomalies. I asked what the miscarriage risk would be and what if his cleft would affect his survivability if I went into pre-term labor. She told us that at his gestational age he would have a 90+% survival chance if he was born right then. These two conversations were within 5 minutes of each other. It had more impact on me than finding out about the cleft (and we had NO family history or experience with cleft).
My grandchild is Down Syndrome and my absolute favorite person on earth. He would have been a genius normal person but is a genius at making do! Love him beyond belief! He is wanted by all his family and friends and loved by all!!! And a Christian too!

My older son was about three years old when he was diagnosed with autism. The diagnosticion told us to not have any more children. I told him we were expecting our second child. I was two and a half months pregnant. He grabbed his phone and called an abortion clinic to arrange an abortion. My husband and I were furious. We had listened to this horrible person go on and on with doom and gloom, and now he was expecting us to do what he wanted us to do because he had the Ph.d behind his name and we don’t and we are expected to obey those who are “better” then us. We stood up, picked up our three year old and told him his services were no longer required. We walked out. Our sons are now 19 and 15. Yes, they are autistic. But they are amazing young men.
@@desertsinger72 that's horrible, I cant imagination getting rid of a child just because they have autism. I have a childhood friend who is autistic and his parents abandon him because he has autism.

Perhaps this has been said before...
A researcher on attending a village that had cannibals in it found a curious thing when observing a feast. The village held a ceremony to remove the humanity from the intended victims. The victims thereafter were no longer people, but simply animals. Then and only then could they have their feast.
Strikes the same chords as the pro-choice folks out there. The pro-choice people have to remove the humanity from the child in order to allow the children to be killed. By calling them embryos, parasites, "clump of cells", they are then able to do the deed without thinking of themselves as killers of children.
Just as serial killers do…”it puts the lotion on its skin…
@@HarryNicNicholas It's getting boring....

@@dan4lau yeah a newborn wouldn’t even know it died or that it even lived, they don’t have the ability to form memories.
But that’s not even the case here bc it’s already born and killing a baby at that point instead of putting it up for adoption or giving it to a family member is objectively messed up.
Letting a woman make the decision to terminate before it’s born isn’t the same as killing an infant

Had any of us been aborted we wouldn't even know it. None of us had any awareness at that time nor could we. I've seen this a lot here but it is uncharitable to assume that the writer is saying that fetus-you SHOULD have been killed.
The only reason this point gets raised as if it's a reasoned counter to pro choice is for the sake of appealong to emotions and consequences.
"We" that exist NOW did not exist as fetuses or even fully developed babies. The points raised by the note writer were good, however they shouldn't have assumed that the points applied to Mike.
What do you think the strongest and weakest points for pro choice are?
@@whatwecalllife7034 honestly, I don't see how this is even a debate. All my years I have been alive, I never understood how a parent can think abortion is okay.
That's murder.
If someone is in a coma for 9 months, will you kill him? I mean, based on pro choice logic, we should kill him.

@@jesuslovesyou1921 It's not murder, plain and simple.
If someone was in a coma for 9 months and they had no chance of recovering I would speak with the patient's family about euthanizing them. Someone else that isn't essentially a vegetable could use that bed.
Either way, this is not a good analogy. A good analogy is like this, if I needed a blood transfusion, should you be forced to give me your blood?
Or, if we were physically attached, or attached via medical equipment and I was in a coma and needed your blood to live, should you be forced to remain attached to me for any amount of time?
Also I'm still waiting on what you consider the best argents for and against being pro-choice.
The "mercy killings" logic used to justify abortion is always so chilling. What makes it especially disturbing is they actually think they're in the right by doing the "unwanted" person a favor by killing them
Beyond sick
I hear it's legal for the elderly in Canada now.
I was adopted and told from the very beginning from my adopted mother I was not wanted and she wished she had not adopted me. I wasn't wanted twice. But when I was very young, before I knew anything about God, my Savior Jesus Christ or had even seen a bible, I had a feeling that I was being watched over and there was someone with me. My abusive childhood did not change, but having that feeling made me feel better and not so alone. So it doesn't matter who doesn't want you or love you in the end all that matters is GOD'S Love and every embryo has the right to live to know that Love. Amen
Your story reminds me of one of my adopted friends. I’m sorry you had to go through that but I’m glad you understand your worth in Jesus. I pray you find or have found people who show the love of Jesus to you.
This was my experience as well. My heart hurts for you! I was told that she wished I would jump off a bridge and she only adopted me because she wanted my beautiful sister. I am so thankful for God’s presence having been with us and that he has redeemed us!
Your story and the comments below are horrifying. I was infertile and tried to adopt. They put me off on fostering to adopt because I did not “have parenting experience” seriously. I would have adopted all of you!
@@MrsSecor Even after I was out of the bad situation when I was young, there have been many hard and difficult times, but mixed in with that God has provided so many blessings, happiness and joy in my life and I am so thankful for that!! I pay that God provides you with many blessings, joy and happiness in your life also.
As someone who is pro-life and who grew up in an emotionally/financially abusive and low income household, the note shook me to my core. What unbelievably offensive logic this note writer has. This video brings me to tears.
Also, always interesting to hear fellow poor kid stories since I grew up in the suburbs (parents made bad decisions) and at the time thought we were the only family going through these things. Praise God for continuing to heal the hurt so that I can now laugh about stories like your bike helmet one.
I grew up similarly! It's pretty shocking & offensive when they say a child shouldn't be born because they will possibly experience abuse. When they say that, they are telling us that it would have been better if we weren't alive because we experienced that. Praise the Lord that's not the reality 🙏
Same!!! His childhood sounded awful familiar as a kid who grew up with little security. As it happens my mom had several abortions. I was almost one. I'm 100% pro life
I was dirt poor as well. Had a pretty bad family life and it caused a lot of issues throughout my life, but the one thing that never has ever crossed my mind was that euthanasia of the poor would fix my problems, or ever be morally acceptable under any curcumstances.
God bless you!
Well here's mine:
I grew up poor, in a house that was shook financially because my parents divorced. Then my mother remarried. Then my half brother (I hate that term... he's my brother.) and I got to experience that divorce too. Stepfather abused her (a man that was nice normally, but changed when he'd drunk too much), and I was too young to do anything about it. So my mother divorced twice. I remember my mother asking me what last name I wanted to use.
She also went through cancer (lymphnodes) and the related chemo treatments. Then her work was taken from her (animal control) due to some sort of recurring back issues, onto disability. She smoked, so that later turned into lung issues. But my mother had a determination to provide for my brother and I greater than any other drive I've ever seen in my life. Through pain and much struggle. So with that said, we had little. There were no trips or vacations. School field trips were just things to turn down because we didn't have the money. Nothing extra. Paying the minimum on bills, as possible, ranked by what was most likely to turn off whatever the service was (e.g power or water, etc). Screening every phone call simply because it'd probably be a collector. Everything we had was breaking. I remember situations like Mike mentioned, having alarmingly nothing for the week or until the next paycheck, next whatever. I don't even know where she managed to find money.
Mike's totally right in this point too: as a kid, none of this was weird to me. This was my normal. This is how things were. I chose things to be happy about in the midst of it all.
Mom wasn't religious. Neither really was my dad (whom I saw every other weekend most of the time). He didn't have much either. He was working hard though on Dave Ramsey's "debt snowball". That'd be huge for him later in life. So anyway, I wasn't Christian either. I would have said I am Christian at that time, but looking back, I had no idea what that meant and did not live it. Later, when I had gotten myself into college (accruing all the government backed poor people loans I could get), I met some classmates that were Christian. Like really Christian. Not just bumper sticker Christian. There was something different about them and I wanted to learn more. I got into the Bible. I've been on this walk ever since. Now that determination I learned from my mother feeds my goal to provide a Christian upbringing for my son and I work hard to maintain the harmony in my marriage. I can see God's providence at work in my life. God is great, everyday. :)
The Doctor wanted my wife to terminate her pregnancy with our son. We refused and he is now the healthiest brightest of all our kids. Pregnant Ladies please think hard and seek Christ for help. Your baby is precious and you will never ever regret keeping them. I promise
There's a place of worship of Moloch in the Bible known as Topheth where child sacrifice was carried out. An interesting thing about the word Topheth, is that it means "Tambourines". Some historians and commentators have noted that it was called such, because at the time of worship, tambourines would have been played to drown out the cries of the child as they were immolated. Even back then, they didn't want to have to think about what they were doing.
I was born into a happy family, to two wonderful parents who wanted me and who were financially secure. My childhood was wonderful. Being born into an idyllic situation does not save you from suffering, strife, or unhappiness. It does not save you from the horrors or atrocities you will face. Likewise, the opposite it true. Being born into an unhappy family, to parent(s) who do not want you, and/or who are not financially secure, does not dictate the rest of your life. All of that being said, the meaning and purpose of our lives are not dictated by any of these things.
I am holding my nearly 4 month old son...and am in tears and sick to my stomach. Children are our greatest treasure under God and as I gaze at my son and experience the utter joy of my child's smile I am filled with such love I cannot descibe. Watching the abortion process broke my heart.
Psalm 127:3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It honestly still blows my mind that the completed initial development of a human being takes only 9 months (even younger than that and they are still developed enough to live). And yet full development takes about 25 years. A young child who cannot speak or walk yet isn't less of a human because they haven't developed those skills. The pre-frontal cortex of the brain doesn't fully develop until your mid-twenties. Are they less valuable because they're "underdeveloped"? Should babies with dwarfism and a small stature be considered less human too? I can't believe what people think.
Tripple A Game producers took that at heart. They publish an unfinished but working game and after a few years it is finally a matured game.
Sorry for the bad joke.
@@benrex7775
Naw it's okay lol.
Yeah.. my child didn’t even exist at the beginning of this year, but now he has a face, a heartbeat and limbs to kick me with and I’ll have a fully formed human to hold in two months! Again, he literally didn’t exist in February. In March, he was the size of a poppy seed, and now he has movements strong enough to keep me up at night.
Constantly in awe of this. Life is amazing ❤️
As a pro-life Christian, I had leave the Republican Party for good many years ago when all the so-called pro-life Republicans around me were cheering for the invasion & bombing of Iraq...an ungodly war which slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. That's when I first realized that there was nothing authentically pro-life about them.
@@eugenesanders3094 what political party do you know that doesn't go to war? Dems, reps, ind, etc all go to war, including as soldiers. Leadership should be held to account. And there's a huge difference between going to war and signing up for military service vs being a child who is being killed by your own mother because you are inconvenient. I can't believe you don't see that.
There was a lot of things about this conversation to fire me up, but whats really grinding my gears is that miserable Karen that ticketed you as a child. Unbelievable, I hope that lady perpetually loses her TV remote, all her socks are forever slightly too tight, and she always hits freakishly long red lights when she's in a rush.
Wow, as a former neglected and abused foster child, according to this person, I shouldn’t be alive and my life isn’t beautiful. That sucks because I really love my life and I’m very happy now. My childhood was difficult but there are still moments I cherish from it. Not everything is bad. Thankfully I know I’m loved by God and my husband and I’m about to bring another beautiful life into this world who lives who wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t.
By this logic, we can also execute foster kids…. Scary stuff.
For me a big game changer was when I had a miscarriage. The realization that the same doctor that told me to grieve because I had lost a baby the same as a mother whose baby was born dead could turn right around and prescribe a pill to the next woman that would kill a baby the same age forced me to think more thoroughly through my pro-choice beliefs. And you know what? Not a single person I knew, no matter how pro-choice said to me “no biggie it was just a clump of cells”. Instead news of a miscarriage was met with love, compassion, and support. It occurred to me that as a society we had indeed reached the place where our value to other people has become the very definition of what it means to be human. This philosophy was written in blood throughout the 20th century and the 21st century doesn’t look like it’s going to be much of an improvement.
This is was a great point 👍
Another way to put it: if someone commits murder and the victim was pregnant - then that's double homicide. But why? Isn't it just a "clump of cells"?
Wow! You've just expressed in a very few lines what I've been reeming off paragraphs trying to get across. As I say the logic seems to be, it's a baby if it's wanted, and a pregnancy when it's not. I'm not at all religious but that just doesn't square with me. They're human lives, from the start to the finish.
Wait, I need to highlight this. “Our value to other people has become the definition of what it means to be human.” You could not have said it better.
Many OBGYNs perform abortions I don’t know how they deliver babies one day and pull out pieces of dead ones the next.
Imagine being a woman and considering a miscarriage the same as an abortion lol. He told you to grieve because you wanted the baby, I assume since you say miscarry. And then you turn around and be like but women who don’t want baby and abortion. Same emotional weight. Like what? Lol this is a stupid take I’m sorry. I don’t care what sex you are
My dad came from a broken family. He got thrown through the foster care system and has some rather nasty stories from his childhood. He found Christ. Today, he is strong in his faith and is an incredibly devoted and hardworking family man. He's incredibly intelligent, patient, and loving, and even though our family was far from rich as I was growing up, I would not trade him for any other dad. Whenever a pro abortionist brings up poverty or family circumstances as a reason to kill a child, I always think of him--how he overcame his beginnings, how he came to the Lord, and how much he means to me.
