This video is dedicated to my older brother Joshua and to my mother. The movie says it all. Choose Life.

(o.,k. 1st attempt to comment didn't stick for some reason)

Great job girls! A powerful video that I believe would be more effective is shortened to ~90 seconds. Most people, especially any "pro-choice" people who happen to link to it, don't have the patience to watch a 4+ minute video.

P.S. If you do an edit, make sure to correct the typos.

thanks for the advice! I realized that there are typos after I uploaded it, but it was too late...

@suzette352 Thanks for sharing your story. I am the mother that this is about and yes, you lost a wonderful little person who you will miss your whole life. May the Lord comfort you in your grief.

@brianredgolden Thank you for your comment. I am the mother that this video is about and I hope that one day, I will meet someone who changed their views about abortion because of my story.

@nethkahr Why do we say well I am not for abortion but it is your choice. How can you not deny that there was a baby in this video. Why should mother's have the choice to end their child's life. I am the mother that this video was about. I am also adopted and I am so grateful that my birth mother did not chose to abort me. For some reason, she could not raise me but chose to give me life and bless my dad and mom with the chance to be parents. Blessings.

I have alot of empathy for people in your postion I can't imagine any worse scenario than this one, it's hard to watch and not have enormous compassion for your family.

As a mother I feel that pain but it doesn't alter the fact that it ultimately is a choice, one that should in no way be taken from you. I'm not for abortions but that's my belief and my belief should not be forced on others who disagree with me.

Simply put BEAUTIFUL. I have loved and lost a child unborn....it is painful, yet everyday girls and adults CHOOSE to terminate a life?? why?? Thank you for this video.This is something that you could have kept private but you made the " CHOICE" To share in hope to help ppl make better 'choices' thank you again.

I Love the Video it really touched me. God gave us the gift to bear children and we are responsible for protecting them. who are we to say who gets to live or not only God can make that CHOICE. He gives life and only he can take it away. Your Big Brother is Proud of you. I pray this message touch so many to think about the CHOICES they make concerning abortion. Let's stop taking the lives of Gods Children. C.H.O.I.C.E.S. MAG

Excellent video delivered with clarity and passion.  Her direct connection with the main character was continuously threaded throughout the video and yet did not over shadow the main point which is pro life. This video is clearly the winner due to its unique deliverance, clarity and individuality created by the author.

"I never realized how developed a child is at only 25 weeks."

That's one of the biggest problems out there - ignorance over things that seem obvious to many of us. Many probably do not also realize how early there is a beating heart or a functioning brain. Of course, those are all secondary but it will still help the cause to get the word out. Education is critical. Many intentionally ignore facts, but there are many out there who will listen.

Wonderful video!!
