"Hey wait a minute! Don’t do this, think about it first. I am not just some blob of tissue in here with no feelings and no desire for life. I am a living, breathing human being with a God given soul waiting to be born. Give me a chance at life. Don’t just end it for me before it ever begins. I want to live too! You see, right now you're in control of my life, and just because I am not out there with you right now, doesn’t mean that I don't want to be. I do want to be, but if you exercise your control over my life and end it, then I'll never get to be out there with you.
Let me tell you what will never happen if you abort me: There’s just something about hearing a child's voice saying,” mama" or "I love you",but you'll never hear that if you abort me. Or how about the times when I would scrape my knee outside while skipping rope or playing and only you mama could make it better. What about my first day at school? You won't get the chance to hold back the tears while you take me there and say bye-bye.
Oh and don't forget about little league. You won't get to see me hit that home run or catch that pop fly either. Another thing, come Christmas time, you won't get to see me open up my presents that you would have gotten me, as well as you would have taken pictures of me having fun with them. But you see, I won't be there at Christmas time, if you abort me.
Or how about my first date? Oh the adolescence years and crushes. How exciting they would have been. Don’t forget my high school prom. You know you would have wanted to see my date and take pictures. But I wasn't there.
Or how about the times when I would have been sick, and only you mama would have known how to take care of me. Or the frustrations of life, that only a mother would know how to give the right advice. Or the bond that a mother and her son somehow always seem to have. Or the chance to meet your future daughter-in-law and grow to love her. Or the grandchildren. To welcome them with open arms.
To experience a lifetime of happiness, sadness, good times, bad times, successes and failures, excitements and disappointments, dreams and achievements, love, anger peace, contentment, life. But you won't know or experience any of these things with me, if you abort me.
I guess the last thing and certainly the most important is, you’ll never get to teach and share with me about the goodness of our God in heaven. For which he gives all life and only he has the right to take it away.
So if you abort me, it will indicate to me, that you don't really know about our God and who he is. For if you did, you would never consider aborting me.
Mama, meet Jesus and allow him to show you who he really is and give me a chance to live, as he once gave you, your chance.
Signed,
The cries of one unborn baby
