Here’s an unbelievable quote from our “idiot-in-chief” given as part of the 39th anniversary speech celebrating the heinous “Roe vs Wade” decision legalizing abortion. Speaking of the right to abortion on demand, he said, in part:
“We must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and oportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”
Here’s a fantastic rebuttal from a righteously enraged blogger:
Story time.
There once was a beautiful girl, inside and out, who started to run with the wrong crowd in high school. Your run of the mill smoking and drinking eventually spiraled into heroin addiction. Her parents wouldn’t see her for weeks at a time, and when she did see them, she stole from them to feed her addiction. They burned through their finances trying various rehab programs that never worked for long, if at all. They were afraid that they had lost their daughter forever.
Then one day she showed up on their doorstep and said, “Mom, I’m pregnant.” Her mother despaired, saying, “Lord, what next?” Being a strong Catholic, she prayed that her daughter wouldn’t choose abortion, but she knew what would happen: the small child would be “taken care of” and the downward spiral would continue.
But the girl stunned her family, asking if she could move back in. She wanted to bear the child, and place him for adoption. Living for another inspired her to do what the rehab programs never could: she quit the heroin cold turkey. Her family was astounded as she not only religiously made all of her pre-natal OB appointments, but became a “health nut,” and scrutinized everything that she ate.
She started working with an adoption agency, preparing for the road ahead. Two months from her due date, we received a call from the agency, saying she liked our profile and wanted to meet with us. The meeting with her and her mother was magical. Having heard her back story, we didn’t quite know what to expect. So we were somewhat surprised to meet such a beautiful, sweet and thoughtful young woman, and we were astounded to learn what she had been through and how far she had come in those few months. We made an instant connection with her and her family.
Pregnancy wasn’t easy for her. You know how you react to pregnant women. You smile. You congratulate them. You ask them how the pregnancy is going. Everyone does this. In some stores, the employees ask them if they want to sign up for special shopping programs where they can get free diapers and formula for signing up. Now imagine going through this when you know that you won’t parent the child you are carrying. Heartache by a thousand cuts over a series of months.
She gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son in April. We were there for the birth. We saw her joy at the new life she had created and her inner despair at knowing that she couldn’t provide the home that she had dreamed of for her child. We saw her struggle with the idea that maybe, just maybe she could make it work….. And then we saw her fall to pieces after signing the papers relinquishing her parental rights.
It’s a difficult feeling knowing that your greatest joy is someone else’s greatest pain.

Our son is now an amazing nine month old little boy. To his parents and his older sister, he is the greatest treasure in the world.
But the story doesn’t end here. It gets even better. And it proves our President and all those that think abortion is the gateway to opportunity for the utter fools that they are.
That beautiful young woman I was telling you about? She is not the forgotten end of this story. We keep in touch. We exchange regular email with her, send her pictures and YouTube clips. She knows how beautiful her son is. She knows how loved he is and how happy our family is because he is a part of it. Even better: she is still clean. She lives at home with her family, working hard at her fast-food job, saving for community college, which she will start in the fall.
Where would she be if she had taken the easy way out? She wouldn’t have quit heroin. There’s a good chance she’d be dead. Instead, she’s working hard, reaching for her dreams, all because she chose life.
Our President’s words ring especially vile in these two households.
