My wife works at the Hope for Life Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Mayfield, KY and just about each day she hears stories of great sadness and great joy - sadly more times sad than joy. I had never seen the social activitist side of her before she started working at Hope but she has developed such a strong, heartfelt desire to see the unborn given the chance to live a life that you and I have been given.
Like dominos, when we as a society devalued the life of the unborn we in turn also minimized the value of women in general. All you have to do is turn on the TV, radio or google a word or phrase and you will see (or hear) how women have been turned into an object of man's desires and fantasies. Instead of seeing woman as the bearer of the great gift of life who should be loved and cherished, we have found that we can use her for man's pleasures because that life can be easily terminated. 35 years after Roe vs. Wade we have witnessed a women's right to choose turn into a man's right to abuse and use her.
Helpless and abandoned are words that often (but not always) best describes a pregnant single woman's situation that she faces the difficult choice of what to do with her unborn child. It is not fair to judge anyone in this situation who would consider ending her pregnancy, but what great joy when she decides to either keep the baby or give it up for adoption!
God give comfort, peace and stength to those women who are facing this situation. Pray God opens the hearts and give courage to the men who consider the cowardness of abandoning the pregnant mother. God bless those willing to open their homes and hearts to an adopted child.
Amen.

I have to say...I love babies!
They are cute, smell good and you just want to hug and hold them.
Thanks God for adoption and the testimony to how great God is when a bad situation is turned around for the glory of God!
