Try to imagine....

A woman is in labor - delievering her first born - a baby girl. The baby is beautiful! She has dark blue eyes and perfect little toes. She has her mommy's smile and her daddy's nose. The doctor gives the mother a drug so she will dilate and go into labor....and she does. The doctor uses forceps to grab the baby by the feet and pull her down the birth canal. The doctor pulls her perfectly formed body out of her mother - all of her body except for her head. He takes a sharp object and shoves it into the back of the little girl's head. He takes out the object, inserts a vacuum and takes out the baby's brain. The little girl's lifeless body is then delievered. This happens here - in this great country. If you are outraged - you should be. This type of delievery is called partial birth abortion. This kind of delievery is performed after 20 weeks of pregnancy until . This type of procedure was banned in 2003 but our current President will soon inact a law that will once again allow this to happen all over our country.

Here is my daughter Cali.

She is just minutes old after she was removed from my body... You cannot convince me that an hour before this photo was taken

that my daughter was not a baby - a child - a person.

At five months old the "fetus" looks just like a little baby you could

see in a nursery with little toes, fingers, eyes, eye brows....

As I uploaded the picture of this child

who is just 5 months old in the womb

my 21 month old daughter Kinsey pointed and said

"Baby, Baby!" when she saw this picture...

if only others could see what she sees....

"Out of the mouth of babes" :)

Partial Birth Abortion been banned in the United States since 2003, however, President Barack Obama has promised to sign

"The Freedom of Choice Act"

which would soon allow women to have Partial Birth Abortions.

I am "Pro-Life" except for when....

And before you get your gloves out to fight me - this isn't me trying to convince you that I am right and you are wrong. I don't want to get into this whole Pro-life/Pro-choice debate. I think science has pretty much proven that the egg and sperm put together creates a life so .... lets move on and let me say what I have to say....

I don't think about this constantly - but when the topic of abortion comes up, its hard not to. And with Obama pushing abortion as much as he has been - its hard to not hear about it at every turn.

I am sure you have heard this before... I know that I have. Maybe you've even said it yourself... I doesn't really make sense to me but let me fill in the blank if you don't know where I am going with this - "I am prolife except for when the the baby is conceived through rape or incest." Many "pro-lifers" stick by this - maybe they believe it shows "compassion". I don't really see how - can't we still be compassionate while still valuing life, despite how it was "created"?

"I am prolife except for when the the baby is conceived through rape or incest." If you believe this statement is true then you devalue the life of my baby. I don't understand it - why is my daughter's life any less valuable because of how she was conceived? Why is her life not worth fighting for? I feel anger when I think about it. I feel anger that evokes strong emotion. I feel helpless - so I cry. It's like you're trying to tell me that babies are pure and helpless and worth saving - except... except mine is not.

Guess what? My daughter is valuable, and she is beautiful, and Jesus created her. He knew how she would be conceived and he loved her anyway - He has a plan for her. He also saw what her first mom went through - and wept. He wept for the loss of her innocence. We don't have to "choose" between mother and baby - we can choose both.

You may be interested to hear from people who experience this directly - adults conceived in rape and those who have been raped but chose life:

Look at my daughter and try to think of a reason she isn't as valuable....

She loves to be tickled :)

NBC reject Super Bowl Ad

NBC rejects Super Bowl ad because it contains pro-life message:

"30-second ad features ultrasound pictures from a baby in its mother’s wombJanuary 30, 2009NBC television has rejected a pro-life advertisement which Catholicvote.org bought for a slot in the Super Bowl because the ad contains a pro-life message. The 30-second ad features ultrasound pictures from a baby in its mother’s womb. There is nothing either graphic or political and the word abortion is not even used. In fact, no words are spoken, only graphics that appear on-screen. Yet, the message is extremely powerful. You can view the ad here.Take Action! E-mail your comments to NBC. As of the time of this alert, NBC had not sold out all their ad slots, so there is still time for them to reconsider. In addition to sending an e-mail, please call NBC Entertainment at 818-840-4444. Tell the operator that you want to urge NBC to reconsider airing the Super Bowl ad produced by Catholicvote.org."

Sorry but if they put on sexually suggestive stuff, then they can put on this ad! They are paying with the same money - why not accept it???
