Pro-life is not about forcing someone to live with and raise an unwanted child.  It is not about forcing someone to “suffer”.  It’s not about restricting another’s “choice” or agency.  Rather, it’s a testimony about the worth of each being, each life, each potential.  Who are we to decide the worth of another soul?  How can we say we are for “choice” if we take away the potential for another soul to ever make a decision or choice?

Why should we abort or otherwise minimize the value of each life?  The very testimony that I, and others, have received from people with severe disabilities is that the worth of each soul is precious to God, that God is wiser than us all, and that God is full of love.  These children, then, are testifiers of God.  The world has always sought to stop the testimony of God.  While the world brings death and destruction, it cannot and does not stop the testimony of God.  See Joel 2:28
