Pro-life vid of the day: The girl saved by a commercial
by Hans Johnson
Five years ago there was quite the uproar when Focus On the Family sponsored a pro-life tv ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother Pam during the Super Bowl. People even claimed it would cost lives. Of course, quite the opposite happened.
Susan Wood had a lot on her mind that day. She had just found out she was pregnant and her boyfriend was not supportive in the least. Abortion seemed to be the only way. Accepting an invitation to a Super Bowl party, she was the only one not celebrating, but she is undoubtedly the only one there whose life took a major turn for the better.
See how a simple little 30-second ad led to the birth of Avita Grace that September:

See ? IT WORKS ! When women find out there ARE alternatives..there ARE people who will help…
They choose LIFE ! :)
Keep on keepin’ on !
I just wish pro-‘choicers’ could understand the panic women feel when they find out they are with child, and that they could understand that women do need the abortion alternatives, and that by providing abortion, alot of times that leaves all the other alternatives beyond the reach of these women. The reason is that those are not easy things. Love isn’t always available. But if you make hate legal, there’s always some one there willing to not care, and that’s essentially what hate is, in being the opposite of love. By making it legal to not care about pregnant women, your taking women’s liberation AWAY from women, because its the way of the world for the legal right of others triumphs over the vulnerable and those in need of free love and services. Once you illegalize abortion, you demand love for these women, their children and their families. To say abortion needs to be available for the weak and exploited is actually the most hateful thing you could really say to these underserved and already love impoverished tender souls thirsting for mercy and true love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGxMine5n8I
and that they could understand that women do need the abortion alternatives – we do. It’s not like we’re the ones trying to limit their choices.
and that by providing abortion, alot of times that leaves all the other alternatives beyond the reach of these women. – how do you figure that?
By making it legal to not care about pregnant women, your taking women’s liberation AWAY from women – then stop limiting their choices.
Once you illegalize abortion, you demand love for these women, their children and their families – that’s little more than wishful thinking. Abortion being legal or not isn’t going to alter any love quotient.
To say abortion needs to be available for the weak and exploited is actually the most hateful thing you could really say – no. “You’ve got an unwanted or risky pregnancy but you have to continue it and give birth” is hateful.
to these underserved and already love impoverished tender souls thirsting for mercy and true love. – for some women, access to abortion is the mercy.

“Reality” thinks that killing a child, without due process or for self defense, is a “mercy.”
There needs to be a tissue warning on that video! Either that, or my pregnancy hormones are acting up again. I got all teary-eyed watching the video. Yet another woman who didn’t let fear or obstacles stand in her way. And she’s so much stronger for it.
YOU GO GIRL! Your daughter is adorable, too. :-)
“TLD” thinks that subjecting women to potential harm by giving priority to a gestating fetus is a ‘mercy’.
Reality do you think your comments come off as supportive to a pregnant woman? Because as a pregnant woman the fact that you are focusing only on what could go wrong, rather than suggesting anything that could go RIGHT is insulting to me as a pregnant woman. Especially since this has been my most uncomfortable pregnancy to date.
I don’t think you were aware of how you presented yourself, which is why, as a pregnant woman, I thought I’d mention it.
I recently could hardly abandon your web site before suggesting i always extremely loved the conventional info an individual supply on your guests? Are going to be check this back again often so as to check fresh articles
Wow, Reality, are you so unmoved by this actual precious girl in this video that you think she would have been better off chopped up and beheaded? Really? You think it would have been better to subject her, an innocent little girl to a Planned Barrenhood for beheading, just like ISIS?
Reality do you think your comments come off as supportive to a pregnant woman? – yes. Pro-choice fully support a woman’s choices. Anti-choicers only partly support a woman’s choices.
Because as a pregnant woman the fact that you are focusing only on what could go wrong, rather than suggesting anything that could go RIGHT is insulting to me as a pregnant woman. Especially since this has been my most uncomfortable pregnancy to date. – I’m not focusing only on what could go wrong. It’s simply that since anti-choicers say “abortion never!” there is a need for me to point out why abortion is of benefit to women in certain circumstances. It would be churlish of me to not do so.
I don’t think you were aware of how you presented yourself, which is why, as a pregnant woman, I thought I’d mention it. – it may seem that way given the necessary responses required by what anti-choicers say.
I made no comment in regards to the girl in the video Julie. All I did was respond to anti-choice rhetoric. ISIS comparisons now? Oh well, I suppose the confected parallel with nazism is so stale now. It should repel your potential allies quite nicely.
