Book on pro-life: Gianna

This book was written by someone who is pro-life. It was an enjoyable and eye-opening read. You can choose to read this post or not, but there is no need to take personal offense.

A seventeen year old girl found herself pregnant and afraid. She went to Planned Parenthood and was influenced to get an abortion. She didn't question it because she thought it was the right thing to do at the time. Tina was seven months along in the pregnancy. A saline abortion was attempted, but it failed. Tina gave birth to a live baby girl.

The baby girl grew into a woman who became an advocate for pro-life, because she survived an abortion. Her name is Gianna and from a young age she began to tell people about her story. She had forgiven her birth Mom and she lived with a good family. She felt a purpose in her life and she devoted herself to that purpose.

Gianna explained that people who are pro-choice do not feel that a fetus is a human. Gianna says if she was just her mother's tissue than why wasn't she born an organ. No, she was born a child, a baby girl with toes and fingers.

The entire story is from a young girl's perspective. Most of the book is written from her words as a 14-year-old and what she experiences. As an effect of the saline solution her brain didn't get enough oxygen right before she was born. So Gianna has mild cerebral palsy, but that is the only negative thing that happened. Other people who have survived abortions are missing limbs or physically scarred from the saline solution since it essentially burns the fetus.

Gianna's words have stopped many, many people from following through with an abortion. Scared young girls don't always know they are killing a baby, and then when they give birth to a dead child it haunts them forever. It is still legal to abort a baby even in later months of the pregnancy if you can prove that carrying the child will cause physical, psychological or emotional trauma to yourself. I have a feeling there are many abortion clinics that will show just cause during their evaluations and approve even a 7 month abortion.

As a mother, I can tell you that in ultrasounds as early as 10 weeks, I could see my son's head and legs and arms. I could hear his heart beat. People who know me know the circumstances of Braeden's conception. I'm not one of those holier than thou women who has had a piece of pie life. I am one of those women who didn't take my pain out on my child.

Anyway, the book was very good, an easy read and a little bit redundant but informative and eye opening to say the least.
