PreBorn: Offering an Alternative to Abortion

  

My granddaughter

Recently, PreBorn! contacted me. They asked,

“Every month, you show up quietly and faithfully to stand for life. And I just can’t help but wonder… what's the story behind that?
What keeps you committed when the world feels dark?
What stirs your heart to keep saying yes to life, again and again?
If you’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear what inspires you.

With all my heart, Rene Ervin Associate Development Officer, PreBorn!”

My response:

“I first became aware of PreBorn through a radio commercial, probably on The Clay and Buck Program, and immediately recognized the importance of their mission; that being to show expectant young mothers that the child they are carrying is indeed a person and not just a blob of cells.”

“By choosing life, these young mothers bring into the world that which God has created. They learn through PreBorn that they can resist the pressure of the abortionists. They avoid the lifelong torment so many aborting mothers endure, not to mention the eternal consequences of killing another human being. (It is better to have a millstone tied around one's neck and be tossed into the ocean, than to harm a child.)

Earlier this week I read an article titled, "REPORT: One Third of Gen Z Was Never Born".

The second paragraph reads, "As the National Catholic Register reported earlier this month, data from the Guttmacher Institute, the CDC, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization show that some 850–900 million babies were aborted globally between 1997 and 2012, the years generally accepted as the range for Gen-Z."

This is shocking.

While PreBorn's work is of immeasurable importance, more need be done to educate the general public against the abortionist's evil lies. The "my body, my choice" argument holds no water. It isn't just "your" body, it is the body of a unique individual growing inside the mother's body. That individual exists at the moment of conception; its DNA is unique, and its body is separate from that of the mother.

"But it's not a complete person, it's just a fetus." Wrong. It is a complete person. The DNA doesn't lie; it contains the blueprint for that person's entire life. So, I ask, at what point does a fetus become complete? At six months gestation? Eight months? At birth?

No. No one is complete at birth. Nor are they "complete" at one year of age. Or ten. Or twenty.

Our bodies and minds continue to develop until death. Don't think so? Show me one person who looks the same today as they did at birth. Or ten years ago. Or even one year ago. You can't.

Abortion is evil. Those who advocate for it, perform it, are evil and serve a false god.”
