I wake up often with the same disturbing waking thought, “the church is on birth control.” I wrote it in my journal for the first time over a year ago. I am sure I do not have full revelation of what all that means, but join with me as I skim the surface. Most church …
The love of money hates LIFE 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. The root of evil abortion is the love of money. We have posted amazing information on the …
I get that last night’s debate topics were about taxes and economy and health care. I guess that’s why I don’t get why abortion was the elephant on the stage. Unmentioned, it was as if the biggest issue in the nation were a non issue and the clear winner of the debate would be the …
I prayed a simple prayer, “Dear God, please help me not inadvertently support Planned Parenthood today.” I turned to Google to do a little research. My innocent search turned into a devastating day of awakening. I stumbled on site after site describing the history, the horror, and the purpose of birth control. Birth control that …
I first wrote a version of this in February in response to the chaos that ensued when the Komen Foundation stopped funding Planned Parenthood for about three days, then reversed it. Confusion broke out all over both camps. The semantics were sensational. And we’re about to see it again tomorrow.When the Supreme Court releases its …
Despite the best efforts of the abortion industry Americans know the truth. A new Gallup poll released today says: The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as “pro-choice” is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May 2009. Fifty percent now …
Sometimes, in my real life, I have conversations with people where I talk to them with my voice. Usually, I talk with typing, but every now and then someone makes me talk. And one of the topics I usually talk with words about is: birth control. And most people come at it defensively, because nobody …
I read with sad fascination this article which addressed the current debate of whether or not the church should help reduce abortions by encouraging its singles to use contraception. The article reports the following disturbing news: In a breathtaking moment of unity, however, conference attendees affirmed that churches should advocate for contraceptives for the single …

My journey to becoming an Esther is a long and surprising one. I grew up in a Christian home. My view point by the time I was able to have an opinion was that I was against abortion personally, but thought it was ok for someone else to have one and even a good thing that it was legal.
As soon I got engaged to my high school sweetheart my mom whisked me off the gynecologist to get me on birth control pills. At the time I didn’t think to ask questions all I knew was that this was the way things were if you didn’t want to get pregnant on your honeymoon.
However, shortly after my wedding I did get pregnant. That first pregnancy was such a shock to me. I was still trying to finish college, my husband and I didn’t have much money and while we did have health insurance, we did not have maternity coverage. I will admit the thought of having an abortion did cross my mind. I am forever thankful for my upbringing and my parents because as soon as I had the thought I also knew it was not a thought from God and I quickly dismissed it. I guess you could say this first pregnancy was the beginning of my becoming pro-life.
