The Chance of a Lifetime

She was eight months pregnant, when an ex-boyfriend pulled out a gun and shot her preborn baby.

In Colorado, preborn children have no protections. There is no prosecution for a man who intentionally kills a preborn child with a gun or with an abortion scalpel.

These are the same sweet babies with faces and personalities we wouldn't shoot if they were born. Literally the same babies.

If a child were handicapped, ill, or helpless outside the womb we wouldn't poison them or pull them apart into pieces.

Why do we close our eyes and let the innocent be tortured to death? What makes this holocaust in America any different than the holocaust we fought in Germany?

God's people have to decide to repent. To pray to save these children. To care about them enough to save them. To treat them like we want to be treated.

We have to think about someone else - to love them. What is so difficult about that?

There are plenty of couples wanting to raise them, if we can just get them to the point of birth and let them keep living.

I get that no one wants to admit they were wrong or feel guilty for the children who have died on our watch. I get that.

But we cannot know grace until we know we need it. We cannot find heaven until we realize we don't deserve it.

And we cannot accept these sweet gifts from heaven unless we're willing to let love and faith conquer the lies and fears of the unknown.

We do not have to have answers or be able to look into the future. They just want to live.

We need to become more human - like they are. We need to create a world where children are welcome to share it with us.

They need us only a little while. They will soon learn to walk, ride a bike, go to the prom, dance at their wedding, and hold their own sweet babies. Let's share their dreams.

We need to be brave for them. Hope for them. And rescue them. We cannot rescue them with good intentions. The best strategies in the world cannot save them without action.

It will take all of us - each of us - willing to change the law. To stop the poisons and the gunshots and the scalpels with the ammunition of our pens.

Like those signing the Declaration of Independence, we need to put our signature to paper to change the world.

Their mothers will thank us later when they trade a few months of pregnancy for a lifetime of love. And giggles along the way.

When petitions come out, I pray God's people line up to take them out into every community across Colorado.

I pray that the good seeds we are sowing with our words and our efforts reap a great reward because we don't give up.

This is our chance of a lifetime to give children their chance of a lifetime. Out of 6 million people in Colorado, we need only 125,000 of them to care.
