Jesus loves the little children...

For some reason thats stuck in my head! but it is true!!!!!!!

Lifeteen Rox/PLYC

Lifeteen was so awesome! I really wanted to talk about the March but only 3 people got too. Me sad. I had alot to say too! Then again that may be why they didnt ask me. I always talk to much;-)

Check out this site, I am joining!

Babies are perfect

Walking the March route yesterday there were blown up pictures of parts of aborted babies. They had their tiny arms on coins, and their hands were so PERFECT! they were tiny tiny teeny tiny versions of my own hands and your own hands. They had fingernails. That made me think of the movie Juno, where an abortion protester, one of Junos friends, is outside the clinic, and before Juno goes in her friend simply tells her "your baby has fingernails." Juno is inside the clinic and is overwhelmed by people drumming nails on the table, biting their nails, everything fingernail related, then she leaves the clinic and makes the choice to put her baby up for adoption.

Also, I couldnt get a tshirt on the March route but I found a great site with lots of prolife tees.....LiveOffensivley.com
I ordered the Abortion is Selfish one and the Cupcakes for Life one. My mom got the Mother Teresa Pray for Peace one;-)

Juno Bill

I think this is the best idea ever. One of the Ohio representatvies the the March said something about introducing a Juno Bill to have taxpayers money give funds to women to carry out a pregnancy. (for those of you who havent seen the movie Juno, thats what this bill would be named after!)

DC deets;-)
