Guest Post

I am so excited to be sharing this with y'all....Katie is one of my very dearest friends... I asked her a little while ago if she would write a guest post for V.O.T.I....hope y'all enjoy it as much I did!

 

 

Many times I've thought this very same thing.  "I'm not a legal adult.  What difference can I make?"

Well, I want to tell you that I was wrong.  We, as teenagers, and even children, have a lot of influence.  More than we realize.  Sometimes the smallest act can make a big difference.

So take your stand.  Write a letter against abortion.  It could be just the thing to convince a voting adult.  Let's save the unborn children together, because they're worth fighting for.  Be the voice of an innocent baby.

What is wrong with us?

I read something today that made me really angry...our family recieves the WORLD magazine (their link is in our favorites list), and not too long ago, the magazine sent out an issue about the abortion battle in America.  I read a short article in this magazine that reported a Virginia woman gave birth to an infant and then smothered it.  Since the baby was born , officials would certainly consider this to be a case of murder, right? Wrong.  The child's umbilical cord had not been cut, so Virginia officials did not rule this as murder. VA law requires that the child be "independent and seperate existance apart from its mother before its death" in order for him to be considered a murder victim. So, in their eyes, this was not a case of murder.

This makes me so angry!  I mean, this was a living, human being!  And yet, people accept the fact that a woman killed her child!  But then, why should this suprise me?  The murder of America's children happens everday.  How can people do this?  I mean, whatever your reason, is it really one that is worthy of murder? Hardly!  God forgive America...may He give us the strength to fight such a wicked practice and the grace of setting our nation on the right path!

God bless,
