Mik’aela Raymond was not breathing when she was born.  Does that mean she wasn’t alive?

There were varying reactions to the abortion pictures at Appalachian State University. Seeds are planted and lives are saved even if we can’t see it initially.

Talking to a living, breathing example.  “The baby is alive when it takes its first breath,” said the student.  CBR staffer Mik’aela Raymond described her own birth, “When I was born I wasn’t breathing.”

“OK, that is a little tricky,” the young woman admitted.  “I do have to think about that.”

Excuses, Excuses.  Samuel had tons of excuses for child killing.

• “I’m pro-abortion, but not after 4 months.”
• “Abortion is child killing but I’m still pro-abortion because the world is over populated and there is not enough food.”
• “My wife had to have an abortion.”
• “We do not want children, not right now.”
• “Adoption is so expensive.”

Shifting the death line.  “I am pro-choice and would never try to convince someone against their choice.  It is not a person until after 6 weeks when the heart starts beating.”  Upon looking up when the heart beat is detected, he slightly changed his tune.  “Well abortion is wrong after 4 weeks but I would not tell anyone what they should think.”

Pictures important.  “Thanks for what you are doing, these pictures are so important.”

Rape exception.  “I was raped last year, at gun point.  I didn’t get pregnant but if I had, I could not have carried that child, even to adopt.  Otherwise, I know it is a life and innocent and deserves protection.  I have friends who have had convenience abortions and I worry about them.”  Pray for this young woman and her friends.  Pray for healing.

Invisible pro-lifers.  A pro-life student told us, “I’m glad you guys are here.  I didn’t even know about any pro-life groups.  The only group I know concerning abortion is Planned Parenthood.”

In fact, there was a Students for Life student organization at Appalachian State, but they have routinely refused to help us expose abortion, preferring instead to remain hidden and ineffective.
