Have you ever given thought of the potential a life growing in the womb has? If that life was terminated, could it have been the next Einstein, Joan of Arc, Mother Theresa, Da Vinci or other world changer? Perhaps the events of my life can be offered as an example of how others can be impacted if that life were adopted instead of terminated by the brutal act of abortion. A collection of stories I call my life would not have been possible if not for a very courageous and unselfish woman who gave me life instead of terminating it. My birth mother endured tremendous hardship to do so following a brutal rape and life threatening assault. Because I was allowed to live I know that I have impacted and perhaps saved lives. If we fail to realize the true value of every life, we fail to understand how the world was deprived and I believe my life proves that.
