Views from behind my pro-life sign

What lives in the Heart of a Woman?


I know people, will say that the circumstances of a woman's life is only what really matters when she is making the choice to have an abortion.


They will tell you that she will need to have provisions for her and her child. And if she does have the money to provide, then what about a support system? She must have a good support system, maybe a village to help raise the child. Then of course there are those who would say that a woman needs to grow personally for herself, maybe pursue a career goal, a lifetime dream or just enjoy a few more years to herself or with her partner. And I am sure there can be more "what if this ...."


And that is why I say, it all comes down to what is inside a woman's heart.

Life changes. It always will.

She has money today, she may not tomorrow.

If she has a great support system today, she may not tomorrow.

We all plan for a better tomorrow. We wash our clothes, go to work, shop for food, date, visit friends & family all in hopes of tomorrow. All in hopes of making tomorrow better for ourselves and those we love. But bad things happen everyday, we hear the stories on the news, from friends and co-workers or it happens to us. No one really knows what tomorrow will bring.


BUT the truth of the matter is this:

A woman wants an abortion NOT the way she desires a new car,

but the way an animal wants to chew off its leg to get free from a trap.


The next time you talk with a woman who is considering an abortion, please, please, remember that. And offer, to do some leg work to help her find real options that do help.

  1. I am struck by the description of a woman considering an abortion...because I've never heard it put better. We all have surprises in life...negative and positive. What matters is how we respond to them. Beautifully stated, my friend. Keep putting those thoughts from behind the sign into words. And keep carrying those signs. One day, someone you meet in heaven may tell you about the sign you carried that her mother saw...and she lived a life of purpose because your sign changed her mother's mind...and her heart. :)
