I loved you too late.

Yesterday was the 42nd Anniversary of Roe v. Wade.  On this day, I can't help but reflect on what the life of my own aborted child would have been like. Would he have found a cure for cancer? Would he have been the politician that truly made a difference?  An artist that painted masterpieces? Maybe a missionary, who shared God's Love with millions? I'll never know.

My child, along with 57 million others, have lost their lives through abortion since Roe v. Wade was passed into law. That's a generation of people, who've been legally slaughtered in this great country of ours. I thank God for His forgiveness and when I meet my child in Heaven, I will ask him for his forgiveness as well. Unfortunately for my child, I loved him too late.

Had the Planned Parenthood Clinic I visited informed me that my child was a living, breathing person, rather than the lie that he was a "blob of tissue" or "you're young, you'll get over this" "you're so early, it's not a real baby", he would be here with me, enjoying his life with four amazing sisters and being an Uncle to Salem and Shepard.

I take full responsibility for my decision. God has healed my heart and brought beauty out of ashes. But, men and women need to know the truth about the effects of abortion, rather than being lied to for the sake of a dollar.  And contrary to the flippant attitude of some, who perform or participate in an abortion, it's not the same as having a tooth pulled or your appendix out!

Like a reformed drunk still craves the drink, I will forever long to hold the child I never met.  In the meantime, as I'm still breathing, I will continue the exhausting work of (sometimes) begging for your financial resources to keep our centers thriving, show our clients love and support, without judgement, and bring awareness to others about the 3000+ human beings, who lose their lives every day to abortion. I refuse to allow my child to have died in vain.

You can make a difference! Get involved, volunteer, attend fundraisers, or consider making a tax-deductible donation today through our website, in memory of the innocent lives that have been lost. Our Pregnancy Centers Middle TN thanks you on behalf of our clients and the children that we save everyday.

If you or someone you know had had an abortion and you're struggling with that decision, please reach out to me. There is hope and healing available to you. I promise. I'm a witness.
