A Texas teenager wanted to get an abortion.

But now she is blessed with twin babies who she calls a "Miracle from the Lord."

When Brooke Alexander looks at her twin daughters, she realizes that Kendall and Olivia might not be alive without the Texas abortion ban.

The 18-year-old from Corpus Christi, Texas, wanted an abortion, but the pro-life law stopped her from getting one.

Now, despite her struggles with finances, relationships and future plans, Alexander is thankful for her baby girls.

“It’s really scary thinking that I wouldn’t have them,” she said, as baby Olivia grasped her finger.

Alexander discovered she was pregnant two days before the Texas abortion ban went into effect.

Alexander said she initially wanted an abortion; she and her boyfriend had been together for only three months, and her relationship with her parents was difficult. High told her he would prefer if she had an abortion, too, because he did not want to give up “the freedom of being a teenager."

When Alexander called to schedule an abortion, she said the receptionist told her that they did not have any more appointments and gave her several addresses of abortion facilities in New Mexico.

Meanwhile, a friend of her mother’s told her about a local pro-life pregnancy resource center, Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend, where she could have a free ultrasound and counseling about her options, according to the report.

As the ultrasound technician pressed the probe into her stomach, slathered with gel, Brooke willed the screen to show a fetus without a heartbeat.

The technician gasped.

It was twins. And they were 12 weeks along.

“Are you sure?” Brooke said.

“Oh, my God, oh, my God,” [her mother Terri] Thomas recalled saying as she jumped up and down. “This is a miracle from the Lord. We are having these babies.”

After seeing her unborn daughters and watching their hearts beat, Alexander chose life.

Republicans are for common sense.

Democrats are for crazy.

It’s as simple as that.

[Live Action @LiveAction]

Injecting a needle filled with poison into a baby’s heart for the purpose of forcing the delivery of a dead baby isn’t compassion.

It’s murder.

It takes both wisdom and understanding to know when to tighten your grip and when to loosen it.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Each year on this day I have the same thought. As different as we may be, as much as we disagree, for those of us to whom Christ is truly Lord, we begin the most pivotal week on our calendar. We hold in common this utterly uncommon, invincible, unchangeable truth: Jesus saves.
