Please visit myspace.com/starlitshores and starlitshores.blogspot.com/ I will be adding many blogs, especially in blogspot.

Some suggested that my mother have an abortion but she did not and so I am alive today.
My story is expressed in my video "Morning Has broken: Abortion and Pro-life"
Abortion stops a beating heart thousands of times per day. A human heart starts beating 18-24 days after conception.
I am not condemning anyone who has had an abortion, I do not have the authority to judge them.

All I am saying is that the life and the soul of a baby in the womb is precious, he or she means something in this world, and we should think twice before taking that life away. What was his or her life suppose to be? What does her life mean now? What was the baby suppose to learn? Who was she suppose to affect?
We don't have the wisdom to stop her beating heart, stop the life the surges through her. Peace.

I am 21 years old and I am pregnant with a little baby boy who is due October 19th.It is has been a difficult road, as I suffered from severe morning sickness, had to be hospitalized twice and eventually had to get an at home IV for months 2 1/2 through 4 1/2. But you know what? Nothing has ever been more worth it. I saw his little heart beating on the ultrasound at 6 weeks and now I feel him move inside me...there's a little human there...I'm amazed by him everyday.

I will continue to stand up for the life of the unborn, so their lives, their little hearts and bodies with life surging through them, will not be crushed and destroyed.

Women and girls who give life to their babies give the greatest gift imaginable, the chance for thier child to live, love, feel, and think as they do--to not be killed at an early age.

Peace and love to all those women and girls who are pregnant with an unplanned child. Many feel that having a baby would ruin their dreams, affect their lives for the worse, and change everything they have planned for themselves. But I am here to say that though your life may change, you life will not be destroyed.

My mother's life was not destroyed when, at 19 years old, she chose to give birth to me instead of having an abortion as many suggested. They suggested this so that she could start a life free of a physically and verbally abusive relationship, avoid being a single parent, go to college, have a career and get remarried and have children with a man she loved. Though life was not easy for her (whose life is?) she chose to let me continue living.
Now I am 20, older than she was when she had me. She is remarried and has just graduated from college (she went back to school to be a teacher).

Maybe you will say that this is the extreme case and all women will not eventually be able to fulfill their dreams like she did, but I am here and alive to say that it is possible. This little baby is a gift to you and you are a gift to him or her. Your lives flow together...all you have to decide is whether or not you will cut short that life inside you.

To all you girls and women out there who are pregnant, life is not over when you give life to your baby; it's just beginning in a new and different way. Peace.

Interests and Hobbies: Sharing the beauty and reality of life in the womb. ------Regarding Rape, Incest, and the life of the mother------- I, myself, was pro-choice for years. I felt that it was wrong as simply a from of birth control, but that in the hard cases it should be allowed. The thing to remember, however, is that in cases such as rape and incest, the child conceived is still present... Rape and incest are some of the worst, most violating, harmful events a woman can go through. No one can ever justify them. However, the life conceived in this horrible act is innocent. The rapist often gets away or is given jail time. His child is given the death penalty.......No woman should ever have to make that choice. No woman should ever be violated against her will. But the biology--the life--of the baby conceived is no different than any other baby conceived. Also, many women who have an abortion after a rape still feel immense regret and go through the same feelings of rape as they go through the painful act of abortion. Many women who allow the child to live feel that they have been able to rise above the evil act of rape by having their child. Nearly 1% of women getting abortions have been raped and we must always show them love and care, but if you realize that the child is a human being how can killing him or her make the rapist act less painful?................And those instances where the mother's life is actually in danger—where the baby or her will die--usually only occur at 5 months gestation or after where, if the baby was delivered and not killed through abortion, he or she would have a least a chance at living.~~~I do realize that other instances, such as an ectopic pregnancy--where there is no chance of survival for the baby and the mother's life is in danger-- require different attention. In these cases the baby can be removed from the mother, and, as he or she is too young to survive outside the womb will pass away......I am in no way condemning those 1% of women who have to make these tough choices in cases of rape, incest, and illness. It is not my place to judge them. My goal is to spread the reality of life in the womb to the other 99% of women who may seek abortion and their friends, relatives, boyfriend, husbands etc. Between 1/3 and 1/4 of all babies conceived are aborted. These little lives are snuffed out. If only we could all know the beauty that is every human life. ---------Regarding saving children from abuse, neglect, disease, a handicap etc. by taking their life by abortion------- By saying that one is saving children from tough family situations, and those who may be born with drug addictions or HIV or a handicap, you are also saying that these children are less human or less deserving of life than other quote normal babies. Before we try to save those babies by killing them, maybe we should think of the beauty of their life, of the love of their friends, and their future impact on the world. Are the children with the above conditions who live outside of the womb, who are newborns, toddlers, teens, etc less worthy to live because their lives seem much harder than our own. How many of us can really say they should not be alive? A tough family situation, a handicap, having HIV or a pre-natal addiction to drugs does not doom a person's life...Are we willing to tell all those people who have been born quote abnormal that they don't deserve to live or that their life is not as worthy or meaningful as our own? That it would have been better that they hadn't been born? I believe those people would disagree. If only we all could look at other human beings no matter their race, health, sex, ability, etc. and say, You are a human being. I acknowledge that you are alive and that you have the same right to live as I have. Though I may not understand you, I respect you as a fellow human on this planet trying to overcome adversity just as I am, trying to find happiness just as I am, crying and laughing just as I am, and above all else and most importantly you are alive just as I am alive.
