Mother Teresa once said that the fact that God places someone in our life means that He wants us to do something for that person. I truly believe that every mother and child that I encounter each day is placed in my life for a reason.
It can be painful to watch mommies go into Dr. Emily's with iPods blaring and a mission of avoiding anyone outside. Yet, they were placed in my path for a reason.
I name every baby going into that dreadful place. I pray fervently for them, especially when his or her mother refuses to speak to us.
Naming my babies makes the issue so much more personal and I fight even harder for them.
My babies Sam and Tia didn't make it. I mourn for them, because no one else probably will.
My baby Lana made it! God made sure I was at Emily's both days her parents showed up to abort her so that I could help turn them away. Her parents don't speak English and I don't speak Spanish, but God made sure I was there both times to speak the language of love and help save Lana.
Every person deserves a name. If these babies are murdered in the abortion mill, then at least I helped give them some type of dignity and love. I can remember them by name and pray for their mothers.
This is a picture of my baby Kyle.
