“I want to see abortion outlawed in Palestine, Texas because it is the murder of an innocent life and resources need to be easy and readily available for other options of help that does not end an innocent life. Help that is free and plentiful with help for the carrying mother. I have room to talk. I was one who chose to end my baby's innocent life when I was a teenager. I loved in an inward prison of hell most of my life from that choice I made that was selfish.” - Amanda K.
