After I heard my baby’s heartbeat for the first time, my doctor asked me a surprising (and sickening) question

Most people know I’m Pro Life. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have gone through the pregnancy I faced when I was 17. The issue is clearly near my heart.

When I went in for my first appointment and heard my son’s heartbeat, it changed my world forever! And I had a harsh dose of reality when the doctor turned off the ultrasound machine and asked me a question.  He asked what I wanted to do about the “situation,” insinuating abortion. It makes me sick thinking about it, to tell you the truth.

I had just heard my baby’s heartbeat for the first time.

How is that not life?

God knew exactly what he was doing when I got pregnant with Tripp, and I’d go through my toughest days a million times over to end up where we are now. My kids are my world and I never questioned that their life had, and HAS, so much purpose.

Abortion may seem like such an easy option – today’s society makes it sound so great – so easy – so nonchalant. They make it seem like there will be no consequences. I promise you, there are.

Have you ever heard anyone say “I regret having this baby??”  I
haven’t. Every child deserves life.

That baby in the first ultrasound, that heart beat – is the same baby in your arms months later.

This campaign of 40 Days for Life is so great, and all the people who put in the daily work for places like this are who I really look up too. Their dedication has saved so many babies, and blessed the life of so many people with these children they are really saving.

I am so thankful more and more eyes are being opened to the harsh reality of abortion.

God has a plan for all of us, and I hope the message behind this group – and groups like this – spreads and hits home to women who are facing tough decisions of their own.
