Why I choose life


I’m not garbage.  Nothing more than a reminder of trauma.
I AM ME!
Don’t define me by him.
I'm me.
I’m a woman, daughter, wife, and mother.
I have a family. I love my children and my God.
Time could heal you, but your decision will be permanent for me.
I was conceived in rape.  


(this is not a personal story, but it could have been)
Check out Rebecca Kiessling's page and I'm linking with G-man for a Friday Flash 55

530.  Uplifting music in the car on the way to work
531.  Precious stories about life
532.  Having my heart broken by my son (it keeps me humble)
533.  Friday

    You're back!  Great write, and I totally agreed with yesterday's post too. Sometimes I wonder if people who make such obviously idiotic blunders are actually paid off by the opposing side.

    Yep, I'm back.  I needed a break in blogging to catch up on the work they pay me to do.  No sense in screwing up my day job.  School as started and work is back in the old routine.  :)

    Looks like a couple of these comments might be spam?  Great poem.  If only ALL the unborn could speak.  We would be appalled and shamed by how we have legitimized their demise.  Just one thought about Akin.  I think he is simply ignorant of the female reproductive system.  I don't think he's a bad guy, just uninformed on what he was talking about.  And he was certainly unprepared for that appearance.

     I didn't see any spam.  You are very generous to give a professional politician the grace of ignorance and poor information.  If you read my piece from Aug. 23 you'll understand how damaging I believe he is to the party.  Thanks for reading and commenting.  :)
