I hoped to leave a video with my comments but it won't let me upload right now for some reason so maybe later.
Thank God for people like Randy Alcorn who have the motivation and take the time, dedication, and even financial resources to try and open the eyes of those who are in desperate need and also of challenging society and attitudes toward the unborn and child lives in general.
I have been pro-choice since about 1994 until mid 2020 (I turned 40 January of 2020) and for reasons I could explain but would take an hour or two so I won't, my thinking just kind of changed. Part of it was DEFINITELY due to having my own child, who is very much wanted and was before he was conceived (by God first and then his family).
It was also due to the fact that I've felt society has really gone downhill and not "progressed" as far as preserving the innocence of children these days. I've become more aware as I've gotten older as having more life experience usually does to a person, I feel like my childhood in the 80s & 90s was great just as my parents felt that way about their for two decades and as my grandma felt (she felt her time was THE BEST.. She's 98 now).
On with it! The squeaky wheels started slowly turning in my head and maybe it happened for many people in 2020 with all that's been happening!!!! But for some reason my brain light just lit up with worry that abortion will be normalized so much for my son's generation (who is now 7) like it was with mine that I wish I had thought it through much sooner.... That my parents had talked to me about it when I asked (because I did my mom although she was very put off and didn't communicate much about it) instead of learning it straight from pro-choice best friends at school. My church didn't talk about that sort of thing when I went growing up and I never really believed in God before I was 38ish so I basically was a follower of what I learned from kids in my neighborhood and school. You don't hear anything positive about pro-lifers at least not much in Portland, Oregon where I am native.. And in my circle of friends with whom I associated with through my 30s.
Even before I read this book, or researched much of anything about the abortion industry, I decided I was actually pro-life. And I was the whole time because abortion makes me sick to my stomach thinning about it and always has. I was just too afraid to speak up in my circle. And now that I do, all those that disagree stopped talking to me. That's really beside the point. The point is, abortion is murder, plain and simple and there are medical exceptions but those are extremely rare (as in cases of saving a life such as the mother's); the % of those abortions are not even comparable to the elective abortions being performed daily in the USA alone.
In all facts, the first 50 pages alone should be enough for anyone pro-choice (who takes the time to really read and analyze without being offended at the mention of Christianity and the bible which I will mention many scientists will say is the oldest known book in the world...) to at least think more deeply about the position on this highly inhumane "woman's human right". A "fetus" (a baby in development, just as any pro-choice or pro-life human would go through, I know I'm sure glad my parents chose my life!!) has every human right to live inside the womb as it does outside of it as an infant or any other stage of human development. Believe it or not, each and every cell of sperm and ova contain the information to create unique individuals and technically to me it seems life is there even before conception. As far as I remember, sperm has the determining gene for gender (at least unless they changed the science since I learned) and gender has a lot to do with the making of a unique individual. To which is credited to an almighty biological force I call God because if you can't really explain it all regardless of whether you believe the Bible or not, what else do you call it? We call it God, across many cultures, if not most. If we don't have moral code like the 10 commandments, society would have no basis of what's right or wrong which leads to depression, desperation, death... Thou shalt not kill. It's not just a blob. It's a baby.
Part of me is really upset I was duped for the last 25+ years. The abortion industry is sick and anyone who says they read this book that thinks they can still back up the pro-choice arguments (which are literally ALL included in this book) after reading it is delirious and in my eyes a eugenicist dictator. Only God can judge, I know.. but doesn't mean I can't be an advocate for free speech either in saying that person is possessed by Satan himself.
I actually haven't quite finished this book (on page 290) but I'm working on finishing it in the next few days if I can get the time and planto read many of the sources too.
I already ordered 3 used copies of this book to distribute in neighborhoods throughout Portland (one of the most pro-choice cities in the USA) in little book exchange boxes on the sidewalks. I plan to buy more as well, and I may go through and highlight in each one the points I find extremely relevant to society and in normalizing the choice to be pro-life... Because ultimately, pro-choice is pro-death OR life. Which do you really want to advocate for? I choose life of the most vulnerable without voices of their own yet, in their earliest stages of HUMAN development... and to silently protest the growing normalcy of abortion by speaking out by getting information out there that women may not know. My car is also covered in prolife stickers and it may look obnoxious and it may cause middle fingers to fly but that means it's working..... There's some thought happening behind that madness... I just know it. Even if it comes out as denial.
Please read this and pass it around or buy at least one copy and leave it in a place where one stranger can find it and choose to read it or leave it... Maybe they'll burn it, who knows but at some point they will think about it more... And thinking can change and hopefully improve and save lives.
God bless.
