This week women and men travel from all over the country to march toward the Capital in Washington DC in honor of women. They are marching because they believe that every woman has the strength and courage to be a mother if necessary.
These people are marching because they know that babies are blessings, not curses. This march is a statement to empower women not to run away in fear of becoming a mother. When Gabriel told Mary, an unwed woman, she would bear a son, he started with “Do not be afraid."
Today there are organizations ready to help mothers through pregnancy, the first few years, and/or the adoption process. There are couples in the area unable to conceive their own child, but deeply desire to be parents. An unexpected pregnancy for one couple could be an amazing gift of a child for another. How amazing that these women can give their child life and parents who will love them like crazy.
Everyone has a right to life. Whether they were conceived in Detroit, Rochester, Green Bay, or even Ohio. So let's make sure that we are supporting our mothers and fathers (especially the young ones) and show them the amazing blessing they will have. Let's remember that it takes a village to raise a child. Mothers are not alone. We are Americans...not American'ts...you smiled a little...don't lie ;)
