About Me: Anne Elizabeth

Hi, this is me.
I am starting this blog with a really good friend of mine to get the message out on the life issue.

This is a little bit about my story:

I am who I am today because of my family and how I was raised. I am the youngest of six, grew up working on a farm, aunt to more than most people could imagine being an aunt to, Godmother to four beautiful children and am a nonconvertible cradle Catholic. How boring. I know. However, through much discernment and time and walking through life I now understand why my parents had strong convictions and I also follow the same path to be pro-life and pro-family.

I used to think, "Well, maybe there are exceptions," but the more I learn and the more I expose myself to the arguments I discover that they are immoral. I know that there is not enough educations on the basics of life, and there has not been near enough study and it seems that the respect for life issue reflects into so many realms that is it scary. It is a total domino effect, even if people can't see the repercussions and make the correlations. Or even worse still, wont.

The way I see it, abortion effects us all, deeply, whether we realize it or not. Sadly it's become such a "hush-hush" subject that we don't like to talk about it because "no one really likes abortion and no one really wants to do it." We need to talk about it more, it is effecting our everyday lives now that the generation where it first became legal in the United States is a productive adult group of society. Children are the future and we are killing it. The city I am in now is feeling the effects. One of the 3 big schools is not getting enough support to stay open. Guess how schools function? Student admittance and tax payer funding. Tax payers are people, many don't exist today. An estimated 50,000,000 Americans don't exist today because of abortion. The way I see it, these people could have helped the economy. This is just a sample of why I feel how I feel.

I may seem opinionated and strong, but these are qualities I have developed to an adverse reaction to the media and society I am constantly being exposed to.

I apologize in advance if I seem too grizzly, but on the other hand I don't apologize for speaking my mind and striving to defend the voiceless, the ones who have been stripped of the right for any label of humanity.

Thank you, I humbly part my first post with this beautiful triad of quotes from Mother Teresa;

  • I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
  • If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
  • One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
