That being said, you'd think I'd love celebrating Sanctity of Life week and Sanctity of Life Sunday at my church. But I don't. Why you ask? (Even if you didn't, I'm going to tell you!) I hate (yes, I know hate is a strong word) the idea that it needs to be brought to peoples attention. I despise the fact that people don't know that all life is holy and sacred. And I loathe the fact that people are polluting the minds of the young (and old) with reasons why abortions are okay, even necessary and that the fetus (ugh - I hate that word) isn't a baby yet.
"Human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.." "among these are Life." So our Declaration of Independence tells us that humans have an irrefutable right to life but abortions stop life in its tracks. Did you know that an embryo (ugh - another word I hate when talking about people) in it's earliest stages of becoming a person, can only turn into a person? Later on in development other cells are formed that can differentiate and turn be turned into something else, but not a human baby.
Instead of standing by rights given in the Declaration of Independence, we buy into the lies doctors (the people that are supposed to save lives, not end them), social workers and abortion clinics are telling us:
-That life doesn't begin at conception but we know that is a lie.
-It's not a baby so it can't feel pain. Oh really...
-It's a quick procedure and then it's over with. Over with? Are you serious?
And while people are continued told these lies and more 3,000 babies are murdered everyday. I went to youtube to look for a video I saw once but was bombarded by videos about abortion. Happily I only saw one that was pro-choice but there was a lot that I didn't even browse through.
So while I'll remember and in small ways, honor, Sanctity of Life Week (and Sunday) I can't find the capabilities to celebrate something that to me shouldn't be celebrated because it shouldn't be a choice or decision.
Life is sacred. That's my bottom line.
And how can I not when I know Gabriel went from an unborn baby who's doctors recommended abortion to this:
a sweet sleeping babe (we had this picture printed on a canvas and hung in our room - love it!), to this:
a happy, silly, sweet little 17 month old boy! (picture taken before casting)
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."
Deuteronomy 30:19

Love those cute pictures! He is a precious miracle baby!!
He is a miracle indeed. You and Matt and Gabe are most certainly blessings to each other! And who knows what God has in store for Gabe and what other miracles we will witness as a part of his life. Thanks for sharing this!
