This video has been
sweeping the nation.
"Send
this video to someone who needs encouragement."
Kid president got me
thinking. You know who could use some encouragement? Women. Facing possibly the
scariest situation of their lives. Possibly with limited finances, resources,
and support. Who gives women in crisis pregnancies a pep talk? Us.
I recently heard
someone say that "our side is the side of optimism," and I agree.
Why? Because the Pro-Life message is one of encouragement. It tells women: you can do this. We will help you. It tells
them they are strong enough, capable enough, worthy enough of love, support,
and a held hand down a road that, no matter which path, is going to be tough.
Kid President said
it: "Life is not a game, people." And
we know that. Life is infinitely precious, an indescribable gift, a beautiful
unique creation.
"And
if life is a game, aren't we all on the same team?... But if we're on the same
team, let's start acting like it."
Women considering
abortion are not the enemy. They are not our opponents, vying for the right to
the unborn child. They are our sisters, and they need us. They need our
encouragement; they deserve our
encouragement, because they face a situation more difficult than many of us can
imagine.
"Don't
stop believing…keep going, keep going, keep going."
For women faced with
an unexpected pregnancy, life as they planned it is no more. They may not
believe they can make it with a child,
given their circumstances. They may not believe there is anyone to help them.
They may not know if they are strong enough to carry a child and even then,
whether or not to choose adoption for their child.
They need encouragement.
To keep going, keep believing in themselves and their dreams, in the ability to
overcome what is difficult and make even more beautiful their life ahead.
"What
if Michael Jordan had quit? What if he had never made Space Jam?
From Beethoven to
Justin Bieber, so many incredible people were born after their mothers were
told to have an abortion. Who knows how many of our dear friends and classmates
were once in danger of being aborted? Each and
every child brought into this world brings something amazing, unique,
and beautiful. And all mothers deserve the encouragement of knowing that about
their child.
"This
is your time!"
Our sisters in
crisis need encouragement. It's our job to give it to them.
"The world needs you."
