It’s amazing how you read more stories about the other side coming over to our side than you do the other way around.

As Ronald Reagan observed, isn’t it interesting that everyone who is pro-abortion has already been born?

During my entire childhood I did not know anyone who had a baby sibling; and to the extent that neighborhood parents ever talked about pregnancy, it was to say they were glad they were “done.””

I am not Roman Catholic, but there is no question whatsoever that the contraceptive mentality is one and the same with the abortion mentality. And I have to give a strong thank you to those Roman Catholics who have pointed this out for decades now. Slowly but surely, many pro-life Protestants are coming to this same realization.

Hers logic is the exact same path I followed in my own conversion in thinking on the subject.

My moment was when my wife and I had our first child. I realized that even for the poorest, most down-trodden, disadvantaged person on earth - having a child is not be a burden, the child is a blessing and is one of the way God gives us hope for the future. I am only sorry it took me so long to realize it.

Someone needs to use Hussein’s words against him. Yesterday he made a speech and said that fatherhood begins at conception. Someone needs to ask him how this can be since he says it is okay to destroy life after conception. Cannot have it both ways.

A truly remarkable story, and a more capable defense of Pro-Life positions than I have heard from many lifelong believers.

>> Jennifer Fulwiler is a Web developer who lives in Austin, Tex., with her husband and three children.

Made all the more remarkable that she came to this realization in Texas’s version of San Francisco ... the lone bastion of complete lunacy in the Great State of Texas.

Thanks for posting this. I love her website.

Here is an update:

VITALS for Jennifer Fulwiler:

I’m 34 years old, have been married for seven years, and live in Austin, TX with my husband and five children: a six-year-old boy, and four girls ages five, four, two and newborn.

She is certainly pro-life now. ;-D
