Inspiration

My first trip to Orlando Florida also marked my first week on the EMC internship. I was very excited to start work and saving babies. The week was extremely full of learning and inspiration. The two days of the conference left full of new knowledge and even more excited to start work.

But, the most inspiration didn't come from the conference. No, it came from a very sad event in the life of a fellow intern and friend.

Jessica is a close friend of intern Kat's family. She has suffered from a debilitating disease called cystic fibrosis for all of her life. She courageously continued her life, graduating from school and becoming a respiratory therapist.

Then she met the love of her life and got married. When she found out she was pregnant, over two years ago, the doctors all advised her to abort. They said that people with her condition rarely get pregnant and when they do, If they survive the pregnancy, they always have a drastically shortened life because of the strain of the pregnancy leaves them weakened.

Jessica made the hardest and bravest decision anyone could have made, she decided to keep her baby and face the dangers.

Sadly, last week she passed away, leaving behind an absolutely beautiful, two year old girl.

In carrying her baby Jessica made an absolutely selfless decision, and in doing so gave her little girl the chance at life. She is the ultimate pro-life woman. She shortened her life so that someone else could have a chance at one.

Every day when i am tired and hot outside the abortion mill, I will think of Jessica's sacrifice, and be happy this is all i have to do for the sake of life.
