http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/amothersplea/ As a mother of one, three pregnancies later, I plea with anyone who will listen, and who will help to stop abortion. I lost a baby girl due to misscarriage at 14 weeks, and a normal, healthy baby boy at 20 weeks. I didn't get to hold, love, or even see my babies and women everyday are taking these little Angels for granted, aborting them as late as the third trimester! *At 6 Weeks: A baby shows his or her first signs of life with a heartbeat that can be SEEN and HEARD. After 11 Weeks: Your baby squints, swallows and can make a fist. Your baby has fingerprints, and can kick - and is sensitive to heat, light, touch and noise. Your baby is sucking his or her thumb, weighs 1 ounce and is 2 1/2 to 3" long, and would fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.* My husband and I now have a healthy 22 month baby girl in which we almost lost as well. Considering my chances on having any other successful pregnancy are slim, my husband and I would love more than anything to adopt a baby and help that mother out who may have had an unexpected pregnancy. But there is a problem. With abortion, it does not give people like us, or even people like you, or people you know the chance to do this. These babies are murdered, tossed into bags, injected with salt solution and burned from the inside out. Whatever will ultimately end their life. *Kelly kept at her grisly task until something made her reconsider. One day, "a set of twins at 24 weeks gestation was brought to us in a pan. They were both alive. The doctor came back and said, 'Got you some good specimens -- twins.' I looked at him and said: 'There's something wrong here. They are moving. I can't do this. This is not in my contract.' I told him I would not be part of taking their lives. So he took a bottle of sterile water and poured it in the pan until the fluid came up over their mouths and noses, letting them drown. I left the room because I could not watch this." But she did go back and dissect them later. The twins were only the beginning. "It happened again and again. At 16 weeks, all the way up to sometimes even 30 weeks, we had live births come back to us. Then the doctor would either break the neck or take a pair of tongs and beat the fetus until it was dead." American Enterprise asked Kelly if abortion procedures were ever altered to provide specific body parts. "Yes. Before the procedures they would want to see the list of what we wanted to procure. The (abortionist) would get us the most complete, intact specimens that he could. They would be delivered to us completely intact. Sometimes the fetus appeared to be dead, but when we opened up the chest cavity, the heart was still beating." The magazine pressed Kelly again: Was the type of abortion ever altered to provide an intact specimen, even if it meant producing a live baby? "Yes, that was so we could sell better tissue. At the end of the year, they would give the clinic back more money because we got good specimens." Some practical souls will probably swallow hard and insist that, well, if these babies are going to be aborted anyway, isn't it better that medical research should benefit? No. This isn't like voluntary organ donation. This reduces human beings to the level of commodities. And it creates of doctors who swore an oath never to kill the kind of people who can beat a breathing child to death with tongs. By Mona Charen - Nationally Syndicated Columnist November 9, 1999* Please, PLEASE help me end the suffering of an innocent child. I am linking a site that everyone should, and needs to see. Abortion has always been wrong to me, but even so, merely a word. After you visit this website, it will be more than a word, it will be reality. ***Warning*** Site is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC containing IMAGES of abortion and LIVE abortion videos. I am not doing this for anyone to be sick, I am doing this to show abortion for what it really is. It's not protecting a mother from worrying about how she's going to raise a baby she didn't plan on having, it's destroying an innocent child's life, one that never had the chance to say "Mommy, please don't".
