Yesterday, at the T.E.A. Party in Midland, I carried my "CHOICE" sign from the Center for Bio-ethical Reform, dramatically displaying the horror that is legalized abortion. I received several positive comments about the sign (and negative comments about the practice of abortion, and I'm convinced that this is one choice that haunts the women who make the wrong one all their lives.

Then today I read an article about Sarah, who is my age. She had an abortion about 20 years ago, after being involved in sex outside of marriage. Her boyfriend still did not stay with her, and now that he is married with children and Sarah remains single, she feels victimized and wonders if she made the right choice.

"[T]he child we conceived together will always bind us," she said. Notice that it is not a clump of cells to her, or even a problem to be dealt with. It's a child, and at a heart level she knows it.

"I wondered what would have happened if we'd had our child together - would we have married and spent the last 20 years together? Our child would now be turning 19 - the same age we were when I had the abortion. He or she could have been at university themselves. Would we have had a second child?"

My heart breaks for Sarah. She went for sex when commitment was most important. God designed the commitment of marriage to come before physical intimacy, and the children that come from that commitment are the greatest blessing. Nevertheless, even if she had given her child up for adoption, I bet she would not be so sad today.

Are you pregnant out of wedlock? Please don't kill your child. Choose life, and choose adoption. It's the best choice for both your lives.
