@SusaninMa Unfortunately no. I have someone able to write the brief, but would really love if someone could represent me. The problem is the word appeal turns these lawyers away
Discussing abortion as if it’s the right of a mother is the wrong conversation. I’d like to tell you a story about how I became “pro life”
If you’re not an active pro abortionist & are passively pro choice, hopefully, this post is for you.
Growing up I was passively pro choice. I knew it was never going to be for me, but I believed the hype that it doesn’t affect me, so it’s not my fight.
My mind was drastically changed in 2020. I married my lovely wife Ashley in 2019. We decided to have our first child together right away. It took a couple months but eventually we got it right. At the beginning of the “pandemic” we were delighted to find out my wife was carrying our daughter, Rylianne.
7 months in, my wife wasn’t feeling good. She felt pain all around her body when she was moving around. She was struggling to use the restroom & she rapidly gained a bunch of weight.
She drove herself to the hospital & I met her there. They quickly brought her in, checked her blood pressure 250/150. That’s… really high. The nurse pulled out the Ultra sound gear, and put it to her belly.
Silence…..is all we heard. For minutes that felt like an eternity, she searched for the heartbeat of our daughter to no avail. I’ll never forget the look Ash gave me. It was a hopeless plea, as if I could reassure her… tell her everything will be ok, that our daughter is fine.
We sat there, holding hands, coming to grips with the fact that we had lost our daughter. There was nothing I could do to help.
Turns out Ash developed HELLP syndrome, the advanced stage of pre eclampsia. Days later after the Dr’s stabilized Ash, she gave birth to our stillborn daughter.
We held her, told her we loved her, and that we’ll see her in the next life. The wound in my heart created that day may never heal. To this day it still hurts, but I have learned to deal with the pain.
My point in telling you this is that I know my daughter was alive. She kicked, she listened, and for the short time she was here on this earth, she felt the love and warmth from my wife while residing in her womb.
I can now, never deny the humanity of those residing in the womb. The zinc spark at fertilization, is the first sign of life we can detect. I believe that’s when we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights that we, as a good and moral people, should absolutely recognize. They’re humans, and we should treat them as such, because not all of us can make it long enough to withstand the world outside the womb.
Since the 1960’s when abortions have become legal, over 3,000 babies are terminated daily. A genocide that we can’t see, that we can’t hear because the crying souls of the babies have no ability to speak for themselves. Somebody should. We should.
For a happy ending to this dreadful story, my wife and I were able to try again. We were blessed to be granted the ability & opportunity to have another child, & I thank God everyday for that.
Raylan was born in 2022. Ash once again developed HELLP syndrome but this time, we caught it. Raylan was born a bit early but at 5lbs 5oz & healthy, we couldn’t be happier.
The only way to change this debate about pro choice or pro life, is to recognize when human rights begin, and it begins at fertilization. That’s when we should recognize the right to life we all enjoy today. That’s the only way to save 3,000 American lives that get aborted daily.
God Bless You All & God Bless America
