“First, I was a Registered Nurse, and I provided care to both pregnant women and preterm neonates. Each time I provided care to a pregnant woman, I had two patients, the mother and the baby. Each medication I administered, each procedure that was done, I had to consider both the mother's and the baby's health. I monitored both of them and I charted information on both of them. When I dealt with the NICU babies I saw babies born at very early gestational ages. I saw them fight to stay alive, even though they faced overwhelming odds. Second, I am a mother. I know that each of my children were so different in utero, and those characteristics carried through and showed up after their birth. They were no different outside the uterus than they were inside the uterus. I am a grandmother who has experienced the "hard cases" that people use to justify abortion. My granddaughter Aeryn was anecephalic, which means her brain did not develop properly. Her situation was considered to be "incompatible with life." My daughter knew that she would not have her daughter for very long, but she resisted the suggestions that people made to abort her little girl. She cradled Aeryn in her body as long as she could, then underwent a C-section to deliver Aeryn, all the while begging the anesthesiologist not to give her too much medication as she knew she would only have minutes with Aeryn. We all held Aeryn as she slipped away from us, one hour and nineteen minutes after her birth. She was held in loving arms as she died, literally living her entire life knowing only love, first inside her mother, then in her mother's arms. I used Aeryn's story to develop a series of lectures on truly caring for our patients, and more than ten years after I gave the lectures, a healthcare professional told me that Aeryn's story had inspired a change in their practice. Even though Aeryn lived only 9 months, 1 hour, and 19 minutes, her light continues to shine. I also have a granddaughter who was conceived in rape. My granddaughter laughs, dances, loves her Mama, plays with her dolls, loves the colors pink and purple, and is full of joy. My daughter moved from being a rape victim to being a victor, someone who protected her innocent baby. My granddaughter is my daughter's child, a gift that was sent to her to help her heal. My granddaughter is the light that came out of darkness.” - Virginia T.
“I want to see abortion outlawed in Marshall, Texas because I have lost three grandchildren just because the mother got mad at her partners. All lives matter and this affects more people than just the person carrying the child.” - Susan C.
