An Indianapolis abortion facility is demanding that they be allowed to essentially toss aborted babies in the trash. Their problem is a 2016 law, HB 1337, that requires aborted babies to be “interred or cremated” instead of sent to the landfill. This was signed by Vice President Mike Pence.

When President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, it was a foregone conclusion that she was going to come under attack.  Sen. Dianne Feinstein had telegraphed it previously with criticism of Barrett’s Catholicism when Barrett was nominated to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017 (“The dogma lives loudly within you,” she intoned at the time).  

But if you think criticism of Barrett would be limited to her faith, think again.  Here’s a short list of the criticism leveled at Barrett:

My journey to motherhood was not the normal way, but I think today many people come to be mothers unconventionally. As a mother of four amazing children, I am 100% anti-abortion. This means I do not believe in killing an unborn child for any reason, not even rape or a fatal diagnosis for the baby. This came from a lifetime of personal experiences and from science. As a person of faith now I can say that my religion has only reinforced my already secular based beliefs. I conceived a child in rape, I was told my children could kill me, and I had a child who was supposed to die before he was ever born. This is my story about why I am against abortion, in all cases.

I often find myself trying to find ways to empathize and relate to others. This includes those with differing beliefs than my own. So, as I set out to help my amazing friends at Oregon Right to Life for the Born Alive Act, I did the same thing as usual. I tried to see the views of others when approaching politicians for this day of lobbying on the bill’s behalf.

I realized quickly that this should be a no brainer win win for all sides. It would simply protect children who survive an abortion from being left to suffer and die or from what they claim is completing an abortion. “Completing an abortion” sounds pretty barbaric to even the most liberal minded, right? I was not prepared for the mindsets of a select few.

(Oregon Votes by county)

Many abortion supporters claim that this issue is about a woman’s right to choose what happens to her own body. I know people who truly believe this is what they are fighting for. However, not everyone is on the same side here. Rather, I found some who think a woman should still get to choose the death of their child after he or she survives an abortion. But why?

The “why” of it started to make me a little crazy. Why would any level headed person advocate for this? Why would someone who wants to fight for equality stand by the side that targets the disabled, the weak, the innocent even after birth? Here is the answer from am abortion supporter I wasn’t expecting:

“Of course it is a necessity that they(medical professionals) can complete an abortion! If the service isn’t completed properly and the fetus isn’t fully terminated, then you now have a lawsuit liability! The woman already doesn’t want a child but you now likely have burdened her with a severely disabled or ugly child after a failed abortion. The right to choose also includes choosing a completely finished abortion.”

Imagine my shock here. This isn’t just about having full term abortion on demand for any reason and tax payer funded, but also killing outside of the womb! I received a list from ORTL lobbyist, Jessica Stanton, and she gave me a quick rundown of who is a democrat who may have enough heart to oppose this barbaric advocacy that kills born children.

I first went to every sponsor’s office to thank them, personally if possible, but I also left notes for those I couldn’t find. The sponsors are Rep. Denyc Boles, Rep. Shelly Boshart-Davis, Rep. Christine Drazan, Rep. Jack Zika, Sen. Dallas Heard, Sen. Kim Thatcher, and finally my area’s Senator, Dennis Linthicum. These legislators needed to know my gratitude before I proceeded to discuss this bill with the opposition. These brave women and men were fighting for the innocent in a state that pretty much any potentially Pro-Life law will be tossed. This one could be different.

At the Oregon State Capitol there is an engraved message as you walk in that says; “In the souls of its citizens will be found the likeness of the state which if they be unjust and tyrannical then will it reflect their vices but if they be lovers of righteousness confident in their liberties so will it be clean in justice bold in freedom”. Reflecting their vices really stuck out to me. I wonder how many of the pro-abortion politicians read that each day and ponder if they’re doing the right thing.

The Born Alive Act should be a no brainer. It should be in every state. This shouldn’t even be something that needs consideration. Why is it not illegal to kill a born child? I meant it should be illegal to abort at all, but to have a baby survive and STILL you have people so blinded they think that child should die? We need to show a better way. We need to find to end abortion. Women are being preyed upon and yes late term abortions occur. About 12,040+ late term abortions occur every year or 33+ every single day on the USA. Not so rare is it? Now, I imagine there are plenty of survivors as we see in stories like Claire Culwell and Melissa Ohden.

Let’s start the new year with a big goal…to end abortion!

As I laid in bed with my four young children I received an alert. The alert came from the Vine Network. This network is an amazing resource for survivors of rape or abuse. The victim receives notifications whenever their former abuser is arrested or incarcerated. I highly recommend you check them out some time soon. There is an unexplainable bit of relief that comes from that system. Knowing when my abuser turned rapist was in prison gave me the ability to feel safer. A happier me knowing he was at least getting some sort of consequences for a few of his crimes.

Many of you know my story but I will quickly summarize for those that don’t. When I was 18 years old I was swept away by a man 5 years older than myself and was blinded by what I thought was young love, the dreams of a fairy tale ending, the hope for a happier life than the one I had already lived. It’s no secret how I grew up. This is where I thought for sure my life would change, and change it did, but not for the better.

I married this man and followed behind him to Germany, I was living very far from other Americans. I didn’t have a phone, any internet, nor TV except for a few VHS movies and an old school tube television in the beginning. I had some novels as well. Reading was a great love of mine growing up as it became a form of escapism. When I would hear my mother and whomever she was with at the time screaming and throwing things around the house I dove into a book. I often tried to distract my younger siblings as well because I felt protective of them when they were little. However, I ultimately broke free of that world and submerged into a totally new place. I left my then teen siblings behind for my own sanity. I thought I was free from chaos.

In November 2007, the man I was with left his phone behind on his way to work. The phone continually rang or sounded an alert throughout the day. I checked thinking perhaps he was calling from work. What I found was far from anything I would’ve guessed. He was having affairs with 7 German women, 2 thought they were going to marry him. He spoke to these women as though I was a horrible wife whom he was trying to divorce. We had only been together a very short time and very recently got married. I was furious. I hadn’t even had the time to be a “bad wife”. When he got home I yelled at him with tear filled eyes. I didn’t understand the why. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I felt so naive, so stupid, so gullible to actually think a happy marriage could exist. I told him I was done. That day was the first time he hurt me physically and emotionally but it was far from the last.

The German police were called and I was taken away in an ambulance to the hospital. There was so much blood. I remember vividly getting back from the hospital and the mess was still there. I wanted to go home to the United States but my demand was declined multiple times and said I had to go to marriage counseling first. I was blamed for the occurrence because I was told I shouldn’t have yelled at him. That I should’ve been understanding because I didn’t get how stressful his job was. They kept us separate but wouldn’t send me home. I was stuck and mentally broken more than ever.

In February 2008, on or around Valentine’s Day, he convinced his superiors we had made up and he wanted to surprise me for the holiday. These superiors never contacted me to verify this and they never checked on me as I was nearly an hour drive from everyone else. They simply took his word for it. That was what I believed back then to be the worst time of my life. He abused and raped me. He enjoyed having that control and power. I recall looking at him and seeing him smile as he made me suffer. He had no remorse, no emotion other than that evil smile, the grin saying he won. I won’t go into much more detail because I don’t want to distract too much from my focus but that is the back story. I conceived my first child through rape and I had just recently turned 19 when it happened. I didn’t see what I see now; I had followed the cycle of abuse.

The man who did this to me never was never prosecuted formally. He had a slap on the wrist but ultimately I was told that I couldn’t be raped because we were legally married. I remember feeling like the world was against me and that not a single person cared if I lived or died. I know now how wrong I was but in that moment, it was how I felt.

I was done with the world, but then came my sweet baby girl. She changed my life and my heart for the better. She was the great change and love I needed. However, I still had mountains to climb. This princess deserved all I could do for her and I would NOT allow myself to fail for her sake. I didn’t want to be anything like how I was raised.

The cycle of abuse is pretty self explanatory. Those who grow up abused often meet someone abusive and stay in those types of relationships. They stay where they feel comfortable. Why? Because the unknown is terrifying. People become very restless and anxious when things aren’t going as they expected and this is true of victims as well. They are used to the harm and to them that is normal. They can expect it. It doesn’t mean they enjoy or want to be hurt but when they’re around positive and functional families or people they can’t handle it. The change makes them that stressed and often these people don’t even understand what they’re feeling. The cycle continues without people knowing how or why. The subconscious is amazingly powerful. I also was this way at one time. I didn’t realize I had surrounded myself with the same kinds of people was raised with.

I am going back to the Vine Network. I was pregnant when I received a notification that the man who tormented me for years was arrested. When I saw what his pending charges were, again I felt my heart sinking. He hurt another woman and her three children. I wept for days as I processed this news. I even spent weeks blaming myself. I thought, “if only I fought harder to get him charged!” I did eventually see that it was his fault and I was not liable for his poor choices, but that took a lot of time. I prayed for that woman and I gave my testimony to help him stay incarcerated. His charges were reduced and he only served a short time in jail but he at least had some consequences. I wished as hard as I could that this would change him. I hoped and prayed that he would be a better man for that time served and that he hopefully would never harm a woman again. I chose to forgive him long ago but I still believed he needed to have some sort of punishment to help him grow as a human being. Sadly, that wasn’t the case as with most of these types of criminals. The cycle of violence continues.

I have since learned that the woman and three children he hurt a few years ago has taken him back and they’re all living together in a new state now. I pray nightly for those children’s safety. I pray God will protect them from him and that these children will be spared any further violence. Why? Because when parents refuse to break away from the cycle, we leave it to our children to battle for happiness alone. This woman took him back, a man who inflicted violence upon her and her three kids, because it was easier to live with the evil you know.

Narcissistic manipulative people target those who’ve been broke and beaten down inside. And like a moth to a flame victims often find themselves around abusive people. Do they like abuse? No! Is it their fault they have been hurt? Absolutely not! However, when you know nothing else, when you are already scared and made to feel small, it feels safer to stick with what you know. In addition, many aren’t aware of the resources available to help them break free, like the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Often times, those who love the victims get frustrated or annoyed when the victim keeps going back to their abuser. They don’t understand the cycle. Here are some reasons listed by Love is Respect:

“Conflicting Emotions

• Fear: Your friend may be afraid of what will happen if they decide to leave the relationship. If your friend has been threatened by their partner, family or friends, they may not feel safe leaving.
• Believing Abuse is Normal: If your friend doesn’t know what a healthy relationship looks like, perhaps from growing up in an environment where abuse was common, they may not recognize that their relationship is unhealthy.
• Fear of Being Outed: If your friend is LGBTQ+ and has not yet come out to everyone, their partner may threaten to reveal this secret. Being outed may feel especially scary for young people who are just beginning to explore their sexuality.
• Embarrassment: It’s probably hard for your friend to admit that they’ve been abused. They may feel they’ve done something wrong by becoming involved with an abusive partner. They may also worry that their friends and family will judge them.
• Low Self-esteem: If your friend’s partner constantly puts them down and blames them for the abuse, it can be easy for your friend to believe those statements and think that the abuse is their fault.
• Love: Your friend may stay in an abusive relationship hoping that their abuser will change. Think about it — if a person you love tells you they’ll change, you want to believe them. Your friend may only want the violence to stop, not for the relationship to end entirely.

Pressure

• Social/Peer Pressure: If the abuser is popular, it can be hard for a person to tell their friends for fear that no one will believe them or that everyone will take the abuser’s side.
• Cultural/Religious Reasons: Traditional gender roles can make it difficult for young women to admit to being sexually active and for young men to admit to being abused. Also, your friend’s culture or religion may influence them to stay rather than end the relationship for fear of bringing shame upon their family.
• Pregnancy/Parenting: Your friend may feel pressure to raise their children with both parents together, even if that means staying in an abusive relationship. Also, the abusive partner may threaten to take or harm the children if your friend leaves.

Distrust of Adults or Authority

• “It’s Just Puppy Love” Adults often don’t believe that teens really experience love. So, if something goes wrong in the relationship, your friend may feel like they have no adults to turn to or that no one will take them seriously.
• Distrust of Police: Many teens and young adults do not feel that the police can or will help them, so they don’t report the abuse.
• Language Barriers/Immigration Status: If your friend is undocumented, they may fear that reporting the abuse will affect their immigration status. Also, if their first language isn’t English, it can be difficult to express the depth of their situation to others.

Reliance on the Abusive Partner

• Lack of Money: Your friend may have become financially dependent on their abusive partner. Without money, it can seem impossible for them to leave the relationship.
• Nowhere to Go: Even if they could leave, your friend may think that they have nowhere to go or no one to turn to once they’ve ended the relationship. This feeling of helplessness can be especially strong if the person lives with their abusive partner.
• Disability: If your friend is physically dependent on their abusive partner, they can feel that their well-being is connected to the relationship. This dependency could heavily influence his or her decision to stay in an abusive relationship.”

In simpler terms; victims are controlled by fear and what feels safe is often what you know. Even women who loath their abuser, who wish them dead, will often stay or go back to the abuser. If they have children, those children are growing up believing this is normal behavior or that this is how all families function. It is what I believed. I thought couples screamed at each other, name called, threw dishes or other objects at their partner, threatened them, threatened people you care for, and physical/ mental violence was just how people lived. Psychology Today says this about children who grew up in abusive environments:

When children witness or experience abuse, it can have a detrimental effect on their well being as an adult.  Their experiences have been linked to the development of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, as well as eating disorders later in life.  Early exposure can also place individuals at a higher risk of experiencing abusive relationships in the future.”

Joanna Iwona Potkanska, a Toronto-based social worker and trauma-informed psychotherapist says, “We tend to remain in patterns that are familiar to us.   We often do not realize that the relationships we are in are abusive, especially if we grew up in dysfunctional families.”

I spoke at a church on Sunday. What I loved about it was that I had the opportunity to focus more on the journey of finding my faith and how choosing life got me there to that point. Before we started, my oldest child said an opening prayer. It filled my heart with joy hearing her sweet quiet voice asking for all to hear the message of life that God has for them.

This angel was the one that saved me when I saved her. I can’t even behind to express the deep special love I have for this girl. Soon she will be a teenager and I know some things will change. What I do know will never change is her huge tender heart! She is so pure and kind to others. You would never know that she was conceived through a violent rape. She is her own person and doesn’t deserve any poor treatment because of the crimes of her biological father.

When people meet her they see a beautiful bright light. They see a girl who tells awkward not very funny jokes that end up being funny because they make zero sense. An amazing big sister and lover of all animals. They see someone who loves Jesus with all of her heart. People see her deep desire to serve and minister to others in every way she possibly can. Her love just radiates! As does her unshakable faith and smile.

She hopes to be a prolife speaker one day. Also, an OBGYN and mother of 10. She wants to help me with my huge goals of one day having many pregnancy resource centers that also offer maternity housing for women and their children all over the United States. Sunday evening was her first chance to be in front of others in this capacity, aside from being on stage at our own church. I love that she has those ambitions. I’ve told her they may change one day, and that’s okay. What matters is that stays true to her core beliefs and helps the world be a better place, always!

This is not the child of a rapist, this is the child of a rape survivor. She is a person with her very own intrinsic value! She fought resiliently to live when that same man attempted to end her life by force as she was growing within me. She blessed me beyond measure after she was born by helping me to heal from that traumatic time in my life. I was ready to be done with it all! She continually helped me grow as a person and eventually led me to my faith and my husband. Because of HER I lost the desire to end my life and gained the will to fight for both of us! She helped me so abundantly that I could write about her for hours.

She saved my life when I saved hers. I can never fully show my gratitude for her inner beauty, tenderness, and dedication to all things good. The best way I know how to thank her for all she’s done for me is to keep providing her with the things I didn’t have growing up; stability, consistency, tenderness, and love without limitations. I never once have regretted choosing life for her. Her humanity superseded my choice. I will keep fighting to raise my children in a world that does not discriminate against people of all ages regardless of race, gender, disability, or way of conception.

I’m going to share a story with you from my childhood. I’ve felt like I should share this for quite some time now, but as you all know our many travels take up much of our time. Yet, now I feel it pressing greatly on my heart, so I am writing this while on the road. This is the story about my biological father. No, I’m not adopted, but he was in prison much of my life and prior to that I didn’t know him well. However, I still got to know him just well enough to help put him in jail. His crime? You’ll learn that soon.

Being a pro-life speaker and advocate is more than just a “gig”. This is our life! The hotels, the traveling, the people we meet along the way, it’s a beautiful thing. Our children mean the world to us. They’re beyond amazing! I can not imagine a life without them.

For those considering abortion for whatever reason, I promise you’ll love your child too! I never saw myself being a mother of four children. This wasn’t what I dreamed about growing up. However, they became my dream come true and continue to be. I promise you’ll look at your child and see your dreams change for the better too!

Abortion is a difficult word for many to say. There is a stigma around it that no one wants to address. People don’t want contention. Society has led us to believe we all must be politically correct otherwise you’re a hateful racist sexist bigot. I can’t convince someone who thinks that way of anything else so I don’t bother defending myself. I express my beliefs and move on. Maybe it’ll help them and maybe it won’t but I won’t sit quietly when violence is occurring everywhere around us.

There are mass killings happening right now! Today! Not just with the recent shootings, but in a huge variety of ways. We are killing so many not just with abortion or guns but in many ways! I believe wholeheartedly that when we dehumanize our vulnerable people groups, society becomes warped and more violence occurs. When we don’t value human life at all stages of life we spread the message that some people aren’t worthy of life.

How else do we desensitize the people of today? Medical suicide, violent video games, graphic movies, nearly porn magazines, lusty books & articles, erotic television, and of course there is always the internet. Women are devalued and dehumanized through pornography, they’re treated as sex objects. Elderly are treated as burdensome and worthless with medical suicide. Erotic anything shows that the body is more significant than the person. Violent bloody games and cinema remove the shock value of death to all who watch.

Abortion is legal, but it isn’t moral. Abortion is a choice, changing the law doesn’t remove someone’s choice. Changing the law says to society that we value people from conception to natural death. A person’s humanity supersedes anyone’s choice. Yet, you still have the choice to kill your neighbor, a spouse, a friend. The law saying it is illegal makes a very clear statement that it is immoral. Your choice was never taken away. We all have choices. The law simply says it is wrong.

Do I believe in criminalizing women who’ve had an abortion? No, but I do believe in prosecuting any medical personnel who provide them when it is made illegal. Women have been deceived for far too long. We need to teach society a different way. They’ve been brainwashed since Roe with tactful plans to get to where we are today. The rape exception was never about the women who’ve been raped. It was to normalize abortion. They exploited women like myself whoever endured trauma and attacked their children as some sort of atrocity that is inherently evil. Why do you think we now have full term tax payer funded abortions throughout the nation?

THESE ARE LIES!

Women deserve better. We deserve better. Our future deserves better!

That is why I won’t ever stop doing this. I’m not afraid to share the raw honest details of our lives. Why? Because the journey was beautiful. Being someone who once was a prochoice atheist to someone who is spiritual and prolife wasn’t something that occurred overnight. The change of my heart started with saving one life. The beauty of that choice has unfolded in many spectacular ways. I couldn’t even begin to tell you all how many blessings I see when I look at these four children .

You always have a choice. So do I, and I choose to fight for what is right. My children’s future depends on it. So does the world’s!

She’s just a girl, a normal girl like any other, but still not quite like her brothers.

Because of how she was conceived, many have chosen to believe, the deception around her conception.

That she deserved to die, they fell for this common but big lie.

The lie that she has no worth, that there never should’ve been a birth.

She is a product of rape, and she was lucky to escape.

Escape the death sentence we call abortion, because “they’re only a small portion”.

All in the name of choice, we’ve taken away their voice.

For those that don’t know, we live in a beautiful city. It feels like a small town and still there are well over 50k residents. Klamath County is majestic and vast. In fact, it is the largest county in the state of Oregon. We have high desert, lush forest, mountains, springs, waterfalls, wildlife, crater lake(one of the seven wonders of the world), and more beauty than you can imagine! You could spend a life time wandering in the forests. All of the pristine lakes are nothing short of glorious. All of this beauty comes at a cost for an activist pro-life family.

Even with a community of our size that has a university, a community college, an Air Force base, a resort, stores, and plenty of residents, we struggle with our medical resources and opportunities. So, even though it is quite affordable compared to the rest of the state, it still has many set backs. To get to the capitol for example, it typically takes at least five hours each way. That includes on quick potty break for our four children, one in pull ups, one in diapers.

Many of you already know my physical ailments but for those that don’t I have extensive injuries and chronic pain that I fight through to do what we believe is right. Today was no exception. My sweet husband Jeremy, man he puts up with a lot! He is the packer, the loader, the unloader, the one who remembers, the organized person. And though I lead our family in many ways, he is my strong and willing husband who does just about anything that I ask of him. He also does plenty that I don’t ask for. He does this out of love.

I am a very stubborn woman y’all. I am a bit prideful in some ways. I wouldn’t say in all aspects because I strive to be humble. I mean in the way that I want to do my share even when I can’t. My husband often rushes to do things before I can get to them because he knows I hurt myself when I do too much. Now a days, too much is the simplest of duties.

I gave all of this information to accurately paint how today went. The journey to the capitol started early in the morning. Jeremy, as usual, helped me out of bed. Our mornings for every family member start with prayers and scriptures. Then, breakfast which today was the simple favorite; cereal with almond milk, fruit, and their choice of a protein rich item like yogurt or a hard boiled egg.

Our oldest two children do their fair share of service as well. Alexandria packed the children’s clothing, Tristan helped by cleaning the table, rinsing the dishes, sweeping the floors. Gideon periodically helps with picking up toys or random trash that emerges out of nowhere daily. The baby girl is busy driving the older three crazy happily undoing their jobs. You know, unfolding the clothes that will be packed, or taking the toy right back out of it’s assigned place.

They finally got all of the usual pre-travel duties completed and it was time to load up in our trusty minivan. Jeremy has asked me if I want a new SUV many times but I have too many memories with this dang vehicle. I’ve never been a person who gets attached to things. Living a nomad type of life growing up and then fleeing and hiding from my rapist for years really molded me into this sort of no attachments personality. However, without this van our son Gideon would be dead. It reliably took us to Portland what seems like a million times. We could’ve got a new vehicle many times, but I just can’t do it. We’ve had zero issues since we got it with 60k miles in 2015. We’re now at over 132k and our truck has just about the same increase in miles as well. It had 40k and now is around the 130k mark. Simply put, they are great vehicles and I thank God for that blessing because we’ve travelled so much!

Our trip to the capitol of Oregon seemed faster than usual. There is a lot of beautiful nature along the way and a decent stretch of zero service. It’s a good time to play “I-spy” and call out the thousandth green thing which is always a tree. I put on my makeup along the way. Then painted my nails. I asked Jeremy if he wanted to stay while I spoke or if he wanted to take the kids on one of their usual fun adventures. We had a threat of Antifa showing up but I figured since it was the Seattle chapter they wouldn’t bother with the long drive just to try and ruin a rally. But, you never know. Luckily, I had my own fancy security, Paul. He is a marine veteran and a former Oregon state police officer. He had his gun so I didn’t need to bring my own. Plus, he was laid back. I was glad to have his watchful eye on our event.

After the lunch break, it was my turn to speak. Due to the sensitivity of my area of expertise (I still laugh when people say that), I was considered the highest risk. I agreed that my topic was the most controversial but it is hard to imagine someone thinking of me as threatening. I’m five full feet of sass but I don’t think I’m really someone to be targeted. Again, who knows, but I’m blessed to have the extra safety measures.

I gave my talk. I never write a speech up. Maybe, at some point down the road I will try that out. My current strategy is a prayer prior to the event and I ask for the Holy Spirit to help me share the message He wants me to share. I don’t feel the same talk is compelling for different audiences. I believe God knows who needs to hear what that day and that He knows what their heart needs to feel the truth of the words coming out.

Afterwards, there were lots of hugs, some tears, and this is my typical feedback. It is why I continue to follow a prayer based model. I pray, I speak, I hug, I converse, and I repeat at the next event. It sounds pretty simple right? Just allow God to do all of the hard work. I just need to show up. This event seemed comfortable enough that our children were also in attendance. I love when my who family gets to be there. I know they’re not fully paying attention but I know as they grow they’re continually learning about the importance of each human life. The sanctity of life is reinstated every single day in the world they live in.

I got to see several of my friends and a few people who I adore that I hope go know better one day as a friend. Senator Kim Thatcher is one of the people I adore. She’s just a beautiful woman inside and out. She cares deeply for women and for children in the womb. When I hear that Pro-Life republicans are all old white men who don’t care about a woman after she gives birth I just shake my head. If they could only stop and see that many of our greatest conservative prolife leaders are in fact women maybe they’d stop seeing the cause that way.

The truth of the matter is, women who are Pro-Life are completely ignored why the left. All across the nation we see the “old white men controlling women” argument coming from many democrat figures. I see them pushing to divide people, claiming racism or the patriarchy is why this cause is gaining traction is downright ludicrous.

A 2018 PRRI survey found that 60 percent of Republican women agreed with the statement “Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned.” This compared with only 47 percent of Republican men. Study Link Here

Carol Leek was also in attendance, a leader representing Oregon Women for Trump. Also a woman, Republican, and very pro-life. Shelly, the woman who organized this entire rally, a millennial conservative like myself who fights against abortion. The list goes on but for the sake of not making this into a novel, this event was started by women and ran by women.

Oregonians are sick of what is happening in our state. The vast majority of our map votes red. The large numbers of conservative residents feel unheard, unrepresented, and fed up! This includes a heck of a lot of women. Many Oregon women are tired of seeing the slaughter of Oregon’s children in the womb. We are fighting the true oppression of women. The voices that speak in favor of full term tax payer funded abortion that occurs regularly have silenced our voices for too long. We want change. And we can have it, if enough of us can unify, and the rest take the time to vote, we can win. When we win we can protect Oregon’s women from the pain of abortion, the mental health issues, the significant increased risk of breast cancer, the six times higher rate of suicide linked to abortion, and the fact that abortion says,”she can’t.”

I’m here to say, “She can! And we will help her do it!” We have an abundance of pregnancy centers as well as free to low cost birth control resources. Abortion is not the answer. You can argue in favor of it all day long but no one is better off dead. No one deserves the death penalty for the crimes of another person. Abortion discriminates against people groups anywhere from their race to disability and even economic status. Yet, their humanity can not be erased. Humanity supersedes choice. There is no argument or belief that can take precedence over the humanity of another person. Lying to women and saying their choice is more important than the life of another person just shows how morally reprehensible our society has become. We can do better.

That’s what my part was in this rally. To testify of life, that it changed my world, for the better and it will change others for the better too. We all have challenges and we all have circumstances out of our control. Women are not being oppressed by prolife legislators as many of them are in fact women! It is not anti feminists to support the lives of other girls and women. It isn’t justifiable to use any circumstance that is less than ideal to kill another human being. Science supports life, women support life, so why can’t our laws?

If you know me at all you know my heart is in this because three of our four children were urged to be aborted medical doctors. My life has been filled with ample pain and suffering. I’ve been abused, I’ve been raped, I’ve been tortured, I’ve been poor, I am disabled, our son is disabled, I’ve experienced more than most other 30 year olds, and yet here I am fighting for life. You’d think I would support abortion with all that I’ve seen but on the contrary I’m a no exceptions believer. The joy my daughter brought me was what I needed to heal. Women who abort after rape are four times more likely to commit suicide. I believe truly that women who abort most often don’t fully grasp the magnitude of their actions. If they did, if they believed and understood the humanity of the unborn, they would never even consider it. My daughter showed me that humanity and my next two children after as well.

Motherhood is under attack. The family is under attack. Motherhood is one of the most noble and divine roles we have been blessed with. To take that fact and distort it as some sort of immense burden that takes away a woman’s choice is absurd. Most women who abort felt they had no other choice. They were pressured, bullied, or made to feel inadequate. They’ve been told adoption isn’t an option. They’ve been lied to since middle school thanks to abortion giants.

Let’s come together and fight for women, fight for life, fight to share the humanity of each human being and their value! Oregon can do better and that’s why today happened. Now, I’m about an hour away from home which is over ten hours in a vehicle with four young children because I believe in this cause. I believe in life. This is my calling and it can be yours too!
