As the world emphasizes that careers matter more than anything, countless people are buying into the lie that unexpected pregnancies are undesirable and a hindrance to the mother's future. As a result, the importance of the family lowers, the humanity of the unborn child is set aside, and abortion is accepted as an "option."
If pro-choicers really cared about women and family as much as they say they do, they would instead love and support the child she carried.
More than just the mother is hurt during an abortion. We must acknowledge that the innocent and blameless unborn child carries the largest burden of being seen as a "mistake," a "pest," and a "hindrance."
- If they are a mistake, in what way is the child a mistake when he grows up to become an officer, and helps someone in need?
- If they are a pest, in what way is the child a pest when he sees his best friend upset and offers him consolation?
- If they are a hindrance, in what way is the child a hindrance when his mother grows too old to work, and he helps her financially?
If we saw all that the unborn child would one day grow up to be, the mother in question would never sentence her child to death in her own womb.
As stated by Saint Pope John Paul II in his encyclical, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), "We have been sent. For us, being at the service of life is not a boast but rather a duty..." As humans, we must be attentive to this truth: That to save another human being from death through abortion is to recognize their infinite value, dignity, and worth. This responsibility is not one that we choose to carry, but one that has been assigned to us by our very existence. To be apathetic and careless in this modern holocaust is to neglect our brothers and sisters in the womb, and be partially responsible for their death.
And the same liberty should extend to “no matter what size” - zygote, embryo, fetus, child, teenager, and adult.
let’s destroy the “adoptee becomes villain” trope, please.
(did I ever mention how much I hate that line? because I really hate that line.)
My youngest sister was adopted from China almost ten years ago. As a relatively dark-skinned Asian surrounded by Caucasian siblings, it’s pretty obvious that’s she’s not a blood relation.
She’s always known where she came from.
We have a multi-page scrapbook detailing the journey my mum and dad took to bring her home. Every year, our family makes a trip to meet up with other families that were in the same travel group and adopted the same time as we did. She talks about it, make jokes about it (”did you know that the majority of the Chinese population is descended from Ghengis Khan because he had so many kids? so I’m probably royalty), and openly discusses the very real possibility that one of the girls in our adoption group could be her twin sister.
So why is the state of being adopted such a major motivation for turning evil in films and books, and such an uncomfortable topic within fiction? To illustrate what I mean, here’s a basic sequence of events:
person is adopted–usually as an infant
parents raise said child.
parents consciously avoid telling the kid that they’re (gasp!) adopted.
kid enters their teen years. starts becoming self-conscious and asking questions. parents avoid answering questions (and usually lie).
kid finds out they’re adopted through some other means.
BETRAYAL DRAMA ANGST
the above sequence becomes their villain backstory.
First off: I know at least ten multi-ethnic families, with kids adopted from Uganda, Ethiopia, Russia, the Phillipines, China, etc. This nonsense of “parents lying to the kid about the fact that they’re adopted” just doesn’t happen. In fact, the families I know–including my own–actively engage in the culture of their child’s homeland and encourage learning about it at home.
Second: adoption doesn’t have to be a divisive issue between the parent and child, or even between the siblings. It only becomes foreign and divisive if it’s never talked about. These parents in fiction think they’re somehow protecting their child when they withhold that information, but in reality it just makes it that much harder when the truth does come out. In order to normalize something, it has to be discussed frequently and casually. Adoption isn’t bad. It’s not awkward, it’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s reality. So treat it that way.
Thirdly: this doesn’t have a lot to do with the whole “adoptee-to-villain” trope, but I felt it was necessary to mention. The term “real” son/daughter frankly makes me sick. If anyone called me the “real daughter” of my mom and dad, I would abandon all Christian principles and pound that person’s face into a bloody pulp, Winter-Soldier style.
That kind of crap will not stand. You know why?
Because parenthood is more than a state of biological relation or a legal statement on a piece of paper. It’s the act of raising a child and devoting your time, energy, and resources to them. It’s loving them enough to tell them when they’re doing the wrong thing. It’s giving them a home, food, clothing, bedtime stories, Christmas gifts, and more second chances than they will ever deserve. It’s self-sacrifice.
To conclude: My youngest sister is the “real” daughter of my mom and dad, as am I. They are her “real” parents, and they alone. Anyone who says otherwise is (1. ignorant and (2. will possibly be hospitalized.
Also, I would really love for my youngest sister to be able to watch a film about an adopted kid where their biggest struggle doesn’t center around the fact of their adoption.
Destigmatize adoption! Adoption is an amazing gift and possibility for any family. Not only does the child receive a family who wishes to love and give themselves completely to him, but the parents receive the biggest gift a couple could receive - a son or daughter.
Society likes to silence and shame women that regret their abortion. For a world that is crazy over freedom of speech, it is hypocritical to hide the words of women whose grief after an abortion is very real. If you truly believe that you can walk in and out of an abortion procedure and be okay in the next 10 minutes, you have been lied to by the pro-choice agenda.
Women (and men) have to carry on their shoulders the fact that they took their child to be murdered for the rest of their lives. It is not a pain that can be erased from one day to the other. One woman told me she had one at 15, and now in her 50′s, she still carries that pain and regret. That is the pain we want to spare you! That is the regret that we want to stop from happening to you! We do not want you to suffer for decades on end. We want to help you AND your child - not just help one as the other dies helplessly and vulnerably.
If you need help, please go to GetYourCare.org to find a local pregnancy center that could help with basic pregnancy necessities or counseling, or to CatholicCharities.com that can connect you with family, nutrition, and housing resources, as well as pregnancy help resources. If you have had an abortion and are going through grief because of an abortion, please visit SilentNoMoreAwareness.org, or RachelsVineyard.org where retreats of help, healing, and counseling are offered to men and women suffering after an abortion. Please know that you are NOT alone in your times of hardship - there are people who love you, and want to help you!
And there I was.
I was holding this tiny body.
An overwhelming remorse flooded my body.
I had violently removed this child’s legs while she was still alive.
I did that.
She felt it.
I was the last person to hold her alive, yet I was the person who ended her life.
In that moment, I was thankful that she didn’t have the ability to open her eyes. I wouldn’t have wanted my face to be the first one she would have seen.
Now I have hope that the first face she saw was the face of Jesus.
from: Abortionist quits: Describes the horrific abortion that changed everything
Link:
Tong Phuoc Phuc is an exceptional man, with an exceptional way of dealing with the rampant abortion rate in Vietnam: He adopts the unwanted children. Over fifty of them so far, to be exact.
The kindness of the pro-life movement will never cease to astound me. Ran across a video about this man on Facebook, did some research, and his story is honestly really beautiful.
Not only has he provided dignified burials of thousands of aborted children, he is raising all of these beautiful babies as his own after helping women who had been considering abortions make the right choice.
God bless you, Mr. Phuc.

This is so awesomely adorable!!!!!! I love it!
Here is a more recent story about the man since this one is from 2012.

What a hero.
Glad he’s still going at it! What a wonderful thing to do
It is people like these that should inspire and motivate others to do the same - to care and love in the deepest sense. If there is something you can do to improve and promote the culture of LIFE, please do so! Not only will others thank you, but so will that child who you may save!
Pure truth I found on my Instagram tonight!

@prolifefemale @saadoesthecatholic Thanks for sharing us, guys! <3
In a society consumed with itself, we know that it is sometimes difficult to muster the courage to talk against abortion. But remember you have a great God who loves you, and that whatever you do against abortion is for God's kingdom. Have confidence, and trust in He who lives in you!
