“My Chance”
I don’t know how I missed this one ’til now. A Facebook friend sent me a link last week.
“My Chance” is a moving pro-life song that has been growing in popularity and winning awards since the beginning of the year. Performed by recording artist Jaime Thietten, it is striking a chord in the hearts of listeners everywhere.
Awards:
Song of the year, Momentum Awards, Nashville, March 2009 Grand prize winner, OurStage.com music competition, May 2009
National Right to Life’s Dave Andrusko covered “My Chance” in April and Rock for Life included it in its Winter 2009 Compilation CD.
So, although late to the party, I sure want to spotlight this great song. Be sure to watch the story and testimonials behind the song as well as the music video…



That was very moving. It brought tears to my eyes.
Powerful.
I’ll admit it… I bawled. (So did Alison!)
I cried too. Especially since my Anna was setting on my lap saying hi to the baby.
The baby missed his chance too!
“You can be a hero to this baby”
How true. There are so many women who will adopt. To paraphrase Jaime’s words – every baby is wanted, maybe not by you, the pregnant woman, but by someone, through adoption.
President Obama interviewed by CBS’s Harry Smith (See also Jasper’s QuOTD):
OBAMA …Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are most dependent on the family.
SMITH: The importance of fatherhood first echoed in a speech last Father’s Day in Chicago. With four of ten children in the United States born to unwed mothers, the President wants it understood it’s time for men to man up.
OBAMA(Speaking in Chicago in June, 2008): We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t just make you a father. What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child, that makes you a father.
Exactly. Perhaps we should remind Mr. Obama that it takes courage. If “it’s time for men to man up”, then he should be telling men to support their pregnant wives and girlfriends instead of laying the burden of a decision solely on them. It’s not just a woman’s issue. Why allow feminists to promote this lie?
