Abortion Survivor - Gianna Jessen speaks at Walk For Life 08

[8005016]

To those who hated this video, I have one question. How can you seriously take the 2 seconds and click 'hate' on this video? How do you hate this?

[herkaleez2002]

Gianna is so full of Jesus' Holy Spirit that even she knows in order to be forgiven by God and to enter His Holy Kingdom, she must forgive as well. that's very hard to do but well worth the trouble when it comes to an eternity of being inside the pearly gates. God Bless you Gianna and thank you so much for sharing your testimony so boldly for if one is ashamed of God; He will be ashamed of you. thank you Jesus for using her as a vessel.

[jeffsupersaiyan]

can she sue her biological parents ? Did her biological parents go to prison atleast . if not why not ?

[beautifulmind7979]

no because abortion is legal so no her parents are living their life with no repercautions by the law.abortion is wrong...and it is murder.but it is legal and we should do everything to make it illegal.

[sandroeleven]

making it illegal will not stop it. Docs would simply pay a fine and keep seeing women..good thing its not a major issue.

[claudius2u]

@sandroeleven

Before the bogus roe v.s. wade court scam, abortion was both illegal and UnLawful. Since we stupid, tv-programmed Americans have had our vocabulary and our minds purged of Truth, and what Law and Legal really mean, we cannot understand the communists whose minds are not dumbed-down, and whose agenda is to first stupefy us, then murder us en-masse. Ignorance is Not bliss - it's Death, when Nobama's Communist agenda is involved.

[jeffsupersaiyan]

Abortion SHOULD HURT women . this video is awsome . i hope that the biological mom died Did she die ? Abortion is a womans escape from Parenthood

[WeAreBullets]

its not about revenge. havent u heard what Gianna says? its about forgiveness and grace. yes, it is selfish that a mother kills her child simply because she wants to live free of responsibility. but this doesnt mean we hope for bad fortune for that person who did wrong, thats what satan would want us to do. but the woman needs forgiveness and love and counseling, not to be an outcast and made to feel worse than she probly already does. yes, she should know she was wrong but forgiveness is key.

[seventhdecember]

obama = baby killer

[sandroeleven]

planned parenthood does the procedures dear

[Transcendence39]

What's compelling is her capacity for forgiveness even though someone tried to kill her, not many people are so forgiving towards murderers, except of course pro-choice advocates.

[KessVideo]

God bless you! And thank GOD President-elect Obama wasn't around when you survived being aborted! You're here because God had a plan for you - KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE INNOCENT!!!!

And LOL at the abortionist signing your birth certificate! I love it! :)

[drmark1995]

Get a clue--Obama would have had very little to do with her abortion/birth as president. Perhaps you've heard of the FEDERAL LAW, based on Roe v. Wade, brought to bear by the Supreme Court not a US Senator or US President?

As a side note, are you sure Gianna is not really dead? She looks funky to me...KEEP FIGHTING FOR CELLS!!!!

[BlondeAphrodite]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been wanting to see Gianna's speech for a very long time!

[graceawakening]

God bless Gianna!

[drmark1995]

God bless everyone, wasn't that Christ's message?

[beautifulseed]

I am going to write to You Tube and will repost the video tomorrow.

[beautifulseed]

It appears that YouTube has taken this video down without my permission. Is it because they are pro-choice? So much for neutrality and free speech.

[cherrysnrazors11]

hmmmm i wonder why this video isnt available.....

[BaBaBBoey]

Abortion saves lifes

[beautifulseed]

Whose life are you talking about? Your life?

That's just selfish. The abortion kills an unborn baby. That's the truth and there's no way around that truth no matter how hard one tries to cover the truth.

[giannalynn10]

why don't you adopt a baby? take in a foster child? The states are FULL of babies and children that need a loving home. Stop spewing your opinion about other people as morally retarded...and make a real difference.

I have cared for unwanted children for my state for years...I believe in a womans right to make her OWN choice. I see babies addicted to crack and alcohol, learning disabilties, mental heath issues...nobody adopts these children. anyone? please...anyone?

[CReaper210]

every woman is entitled to choose to have a abortion.but if the baby is alive after the abortion it's no longer a abortion it's murder andnobody has a right to do gods work!

[bbqedmarv]

maybe because fetus's don't respond to any questions.

conception is a finiky thing. on that line of reasoning, you should be asking miscarried babies what their choice is. abortion happens naturally (miscarriages).

and who can make that "good choice" decision for anyone on this planet? People need to make it themselves. my good choice is probably not what you would choose. give them that opportunity to control their own life, like we were originally intended to in the first place.

[Werterner]

Pro-Life hurts woman

[corrinnemay]

No. Abortion Hurts Women.

[sidecake]

No.  Abortion Hurts BABIES. Choice Empowers women.

[beautifulseed]

Abortion doesn't hurt babies. It KILLS them.

If choice does empower women, then where is the choice for the woman-to-be who lives in the womb? Where is her choice?

If she had a choice do you think she would choose to die? Why not ask her what her choice is instead of killing her?

Choices can either be good or bad. Good choices empower. Bad choices scar.

[sidecake]

there are reasons behind abortion other than DEATH. maybe it came out of a bad situation or she couldn't supply for it. i don't think most women have the direct intention of causing the baby's death. that's villinization. the rights of the women to do what she wants with her body should not be discounted. russh31: i think a strong case could be made for calling "pro-life" anti-women.

ihsrc: maybe the better solution we should focus on is free birth control for woman?

[ihsrc]

Man on left rapes woman on right - so kill the baby in the middle? Makes no sense. Can't supply for my 4 year old - let's kill it? Makes no sense. Womans right to use heroin, prostitution, no seat belts? We stop "womans rights" already - killing her baby should be stopped. The right of the baby to become a woman? Who's anti-woman now? Free birth control - you mean tax-payer birth control. What about self control, abstinence? Take responsibility. There's another life involved, let's care for it.

[sidecake]

as far as i'm concerned, any assembalence of laws detract from those that are naturally endowed to us: the laws on nature. why should the government have ANY say about my uterus? just because we've "stoped women's rights" doesn't mean we should KEEP doing it!

you want a woman to be responsible, but if you don't provide her with a mechanism for doing so (birth control) it's just perpetuates the problem. I'm not "anti" anything, not anti-baby and certianly for god damned sure not anti-woman.

[sidecake]

by the way, teaching abstinance doesn't work. that's not safe-sex at all. also, sex is instinctual for the perpetuation of life. i believe in responsibity, but in order for a woman to take care of a baby, she needs to be independently responsible for herself.

it's not "baby killing in the middle." and it doesn't condon murder of a 4 year old child.

we should focus on the CAUSES of the problem, not condeming the problem itself. rape, poverty, and prostitution are causes.

[ihsrc]

Isn't a law of nature that is naturally endowed, "Life" itself? I don't care about your uterus; I care about the separate Soul within it. You're right; sex is instinctual for the perpetuation of life -- so why destroy that life? The mechanism for responsibility is free will, not a man-made devise. You can't get any safer than abstaining. The cause of the problem is lack of discipline. Many laws are made because of other's lack of discipline. Should a woman have a "right" to consensual incest?

[sidecake]

so when do you stop caring about the uterus of a baby? after she is born? 10 days? when does she lose basic rights to her body as a human? Life is an ongoing process. teaching abstainance is a bull-shit futile process. you will never stop people from having sex because you are trying restain a fundamental instinct in humans. abstinance only works as a tool to sexual repression. and free will for many people is to have sex.

wait... consensual incest doesn't even relate in the slightest.

[ihsrc]

When do you begin caring for the baby as a person, 1 day in the womb? 9 months? When does the baby gain rights to her body? How can one set a time on when you're a human with rights? Life is ongoing till someone terminates it. I DON'T want to stop people from having sex!!! Just be responsible without killing a life in the process - within marriage would be supreme. The last point was that we use law to stop consensual incest - why not stop the consensual murder of innocent babies? What is worse?

[sidecake]

well, it's the chicken or the egg approach, i suppose. a baby is a parasitic lifeform for about 9 months. it feeds off it's host. i also don't understand what makes life so "sacred" either

i don't think laws should be in place to "protect" women from CONSENSUAL incest or CONSENSUAL murder. if she wants it, it's her decision. Why should the government have any authority on my body? besides, if you ban abortion- people are just going to find more dangerous ways to do it themselves.

[ihsrc]

Is it a human baby if born at 5 months premature, and not 9 months? If a baby IN the womb is not human then why say it is at it's first breath, who to plays God with another life? Is a 40 year old on a feeding tube a parasite? Can we terminate that life? You place humans on the level of a baby seal that can be clubbed to death. (or do you have more compassion on the seal?) If there is no God then life is not sacred - but an outrageous horror. Is there a country without law, as you would have it?

[sidecake]

I won't take any argument invovling God, because i don't believe in such a thing. There is just life and death, and the process continues without us. you can't force a mother into parenthood. what do you expect me to say? a 5 month pre-me is an alien? it's a baby. and the 40 year old is feeding off machines NOT PEOPLE! and i like baby seals. did i say clubbing seals is right? you don't know me- so stop assuming things. did i say killing babies is good? NO! i'm saying other factors are involved.

[sidecake]

maybe it's time to face that fact of the world as a horror. it's still beatiful, but it might all be an accident and completly filled with destruction.

also, i wonder your approach to the death penalty for crimials. all i'm going to say is i hope it's all consistant.

the very definition of "country" is defined by laws and borders, so no. the best i could hope for is a Thoreau-ian lifestyle and living off the grid.

happy 4/20, by the way.

[idioticlisa]

YOUR body? What about the CHILD'S body? Technically, the mothers blood never even touches the baby until birth. Also, a baby's blood type can differ from their mother. So is it really just your body, when you're clearly carrying a separate, growing entity? By 9 weeks, the fetus is fully formed- all the organs, nervous systems, etc are there. The baby sleeps, sucks its thumb, moves all on its own accord.

[sidecake]

well, congratulations to the baby. it is still a parasite and couldn't live without it's host. you can't force any woman into parenthood! i'm not against other options. i'm not pro-baby killing. i'm saying lets act preventativly (birthcontrol) to act responsibly and make informed decisions. if safe, sterile abortions arn't legal, you could have women hurting themselves in acts of desperation to abort the fetus. the baby might live but be damaged. From this perspective which one is more brutal?!

[idioticlisa]

It is not a parasite, it's HUMAN. This is a simple law of nature- nothing can produce offspring that is out of its species. Dogs can't produce cats, nor can people produce PARASITES- people produce people. Is Giana a parasite? Condoms and the pill are birth control- preventing pregnancy. Abortion is murder, enough said. What if a woman wants to have her intestines removed? Or commit suicide? It's her body, right? So who's to stop her form doing what she wants with her body?

[sidecake]

I meant parasite as an adjective to describe how the baby is dependent on the mother to keep it alive. it REQUIRES her for food, protection, support. we were all parasitic lifeforms.

if a woman wants to remove her intestines and is informed about it, then who's to stop her. why does that effect you? how is that in any way YOUR decision?! i think if there are programs in place to show people alternatives to their problems (suicide or unwanted pregnancy) and they refuse help, it's their choice.

[idioticlisa]

Yes, but don't small children also require food, protection, and support? The point I am getting at is that by labeling an unborn baby a parasite, you're covering their humanity. You know who else does that? The military. "They're not Japanese, they're Japs, so of course we can bomb them. -They're not people, they're terrorists." They even go as far as to label people as "bodies". Parasite, Jap, Terrorist- it's easier to take life when you dehumanize. As for birth control, there are 2 kinds:

[idioticlisa]

preventing pregnancy (contraceptives and sterilization), and preventing birth. Some call abortion birth control, others call it murder- the pre-meditated taking of a human life. Not a parasite, a human. As for "it's her body", if a woman wanted to commit suicide, you'd try to talk her out of it, yes? Few people would just stand by and let her kill herself. They'd seek professional help- seek anti-depressants if it really comes down to it. Would you stand idly by if your best friend was suicidal?

[idioticlisa]

And yes, abortion may be a choice, but so was having sex. Abortion is a choice to avoid responsibility and ignore your own blood's right to life. Let me just point out that the choices we make hurt or help others, not just ourselves, and not one person can go through life without being hurt as the result of someone's choice- some pay for it with their lives. The choices we make show us for who we truly are. So if one does choose abortion, what does that show about their character?

[idioticlisa]

And before you pull the rape card, all I can say is while rape-pregnancies are rare, while rape is HORRIBLE, and while I may not blame a victim for considering abortion, it is not the child's fault. Why should the baby die for a crime they didn't commit? Before you ask "what if it were me?", I'd carry the child to term, and give them up for adoption- especially if I could not care for them. Anyone who truly mattered in my life would be supportive.

[sidecake]

i think the important thing to remember with rape cases is that the women will have a constant physical reminder of the rape for at least 9 months, if not for the child's whole life. that's got to take a huge emotional toll.

that's what you would do. you can't pin what you think is a good idea on me. i'm glad you have support. again (FOR THE RECORD!) i'm NOT pro-baby killing. i'm not a blood thirsty whore who get's abortions for sport. i'm a responsible adult petitioning for the rights of women.

[sidecake]

maybe abortion might be reasonable in some circumstances and the responsible choice. can't take care of a baby? can't feed it? can't pay medical bills?

there is no "right to life" people die every day of natural causes. was their "right" just suddenly terminated?

but also, going through an abortion must require a strong character. it is life experiences which build character. either path would teach a person a lesson. it's impossible to randomly guess which would be the better one.

[sidecake]

And yes, i've already said this, but i would urge all women to seek professional help (and in the case of wanting an abortion) show her alternatives.

and don't assume that i'm a villian. i have helped my friend come back from suicide, but i also realize that I can't change her. she was cronically depressed. i can only try to convince her not to and show her compassion. i can't promise to be there forever, and her destiny is, ultimatly, up to her. you can only hold their hand for so long.

[sidecake]

i understand that fetus's are mini-people. i don't think your analogy is accurate. the military has manipulations that run far deeper than this. so, what you are saying is that you don't like the word "parasite." fair enough, but let's face it, we can't get rid of all death on this planet.

[idioticlisa]

I'm not assuming you're a blood-thirsty "villian". Yes, people die every day, but we have a right to not be murdered by other people, yes? Going through with an abortion may require strong character- or no heart. Not to say EVERYONE who has had an abortion is heartless! Life experience may build character, but it's our choices which define us- and show us for who we truly are. It's good that you were able to help your friend- I've had to do the same. Ultimately, it IS up to the person, but

[idioticlisa]

knowingly being passive about the situation isn't right (not saying you have- but if someone knew someone who was killing themself and they sat back and let it happen, that would be wrong.) I wasn't trying to talk down to you, nor am I calling you irresponsible, but I -do- get irritated when people try to 'justify' abortion, and I try to point out the folly of the "it's her body"/"it's not a human" mindsets. It's NOT just her body. The fetus doesn't even touch the mother's blood until birth. The

[idioticlisa]

child's bloodtype may even differ from the mom's- no one's internal organs can differ in blood type. A person with O+ bloodtype isn't going to have an AB kidney. Trying to say that a fetus isn't human is preposterous- species can only reproduce other members of their kind. I just wanted you to see this- fetuses are indeed mini-people. And dehumanizing an unborn child is no different than when the military dehumanizes the enemy. It's the same psychology- it's a lot easier to kill when you when

[idioticlisa]

ignore the victim's humanity. "Blob", "Clump of cells", "Parasite"-"Gook", "Jap", "Terrorist". It's easier to kill a "Parasite" than a "Baby". A parasite makes me think of a tape worm. And so you know where I'm coming from, I'm well aware of back-alley abortions. I'm well aware that there are times when abortion is considered "needed". That doesn't mean I agree with abortion, however. Nor do I think simply banning it will solve the problem. (Most young girls who got pregnant that I knew didn't

[idioticlisa]

have a good relationship with their parents for one thing- parents NEED to communicate and let their kids know they LOVE them) I do think there should be a lot of restrictions on it, though. Like not being able to abort after 9 weeks ( when fetus is fully formed and just needs to grow), I'm against partial birth abortions, etc. Basically, I'm anti second-third trimester abortion. Well, I'm anti first trimester, but if it's gonna be done, it should be within the first few weeks- and no later. I

[idioticlisa]

know there are circumstances like finance, don't think you can care for a baby, etc- but those are all just maybes. Killing, either one's self, or someone else (the unborn included) is the permanent answer to a TEMPORARY problem. There is always adoption. (Heh, it's like "add option." Just noticed that!) In regards to abortion, I think women and children deserve far better. Just a humble opinion. ^_^

[idioticlisa]

One more thought. It may take character to go through with an abortion, but it takes GUTS and courage to endure childbirth. The bravest, selfless, most loving thing one could do is opt for adoption if they can't keep a baby. (Then again, Love IS selfless. Putting someone else first.) I understand why many, most, won't choose this, however. :/

[sidecake]

oh, hey! we both thought of tapeworms. and i didn't even read this comment first.  I'm just guessing (and maybe my assumption isn't right), but i don't think you like the word "parasite" very much. i'm glad you realize that many women will do it anyway. what i don't understand is why we can't make it a safe environment. if it doesn't kill the baby, it might just mess up it's deformation, which is even worse. also, it's not safe for women to use coat hangers out of desperation.

[sidecake]

I understand that fetus's are mini-people. anyone with a basic knowledge of biology could recognize that. to me this comment just means that you don't like the word, "fetus" which i can't really debate with you. maybe fetus isn't the best word, but that's not really relevant to the overall discussion of abortion. they are called SOMETHING, but it's still the same. i think most people recognize that fetus's are "mini-babies"

[sidecake]

I am saying we can be PREVENTATIVE about abortion.  Education, providing birth control, preventing rape, those are all preventions from ever getting into that decision in the first place. NONE of those are passive. I understand where you are coming from, but the baby is in her body and can't live without her support. because it relies on the mother, it clearly is a part of her body. they transfer nutrients, oxygen, liquids. it may have it's own life, but so do tapeworms.

[sidecake]

i think that, legally, we have the right to life. but in the REAL world, nature finds different ways of balancing death. There are no inherent "rights" in nature, that's a man-made condition. Nothing protects you from death in the real world besides consequences. really, we are deciding on what consequences a women should have on getting an abortion.

[sidecake]

Also, i understand how biology works. maybe you've underestimated me, but you don't have to explain that species to make replicants of themselves.

i also understand birth control. i guess what i don't understand is what your point is about it?

also, you are making big jumps in your rationality. you go from basic facts about biology and birth control to a subjective opinion that isn't supported by an argument. Just because you state it in the same manner as a fact doesn't make it one.

[sidecake]

Saying "pro-life" implies that the other side is "pro-death." it's not, and it's a term used to villinize the other side.

"if you can't trust a women with a choice, how can you trust her with a child?"

[ihsrc]

Can you trust a women who's "choice" is to kill the child within her womb? 95% of abortions are done for birth control - that's a sorry choice that results in the "death" of a baby, the most innocent form of human life. If that is not "pro-death" then I don't know what is.

[russh31]

I think that a very strong case can be made that the other side is, indeed, pro death.

The "choice" is one between allowing life to proceed as intended or to terminate it. I find it ironic that the "pro death" camp dispute that a fetus with a heartbeat is not a living thing, but pro lifer's are the manipulative ones for choosing the to call themselves "pro life."

[SupHobagg]

beautiful story. she is sooo full of life! she's gorgeous, too! My mother almost aborted me but thank goodness she decided otherwise...<3

[x3poohbear]

beautifully told.

[wildflower789]

Yes, her story is awesome. Her speech made me get a little teary. Thanks for posting this!

[Alanmania65]

It was the most moving speech of all the speeches I've heard at these rallies I've attended. Gianna has such an awesome attitude.

[roevswade]

this is a great story! love this lady!
