My Baby is 24 Weeks… and I’m Headed to a State Where He Has No Rights

As I was preparing to leave for my annual trip to the March for Life in DC this year, my preparations have felt different from the start. 

Because this year it’s not just me going… I have a whole nother person I’m bringing with: Baby Evans, 24 weeks and a few days, in my womb.

It’s caused me to pause many times this week as I’m packing and preparing…

My baby can hear and recognize voices, can distinguish tones of anger or love. How will it feel when he hears the angry protestors chanting in support of his death?

My baby is 24 weeks and is protected in Florida, but as soon as I get on this 2 hour flight and land in D.C., all his protections will be lost. His life could be snuffed out at a single nod from me, his mother.

I feel my baby’s kicks every day. His lungs are growing and multiplying, he’s fully formed but gaining weight by the day- he’s even working on moving is face muscles and raising his eyebrows.

Wouldn’t it be obvious that we, as a society, would recognize the humanity of these little ones? How many lives are lost needlessly every day because of the ignorance, selfishness, and horrific worldview of our society?

This year at the March for Life I have one goal: I have no need to squabble with the protesters, or counter their personal attacks that ultimately are the result of their insecurity. I don’t need to justify my position or my beliefs. This year, I’m there for my baby. I’m marching WITH my baby. I’m going to show as many people as possible Live Action’s Window to the Womb App- an app that I believe makes it literally impossible to deny the humanity of the preborn.

This year these sad individuals who have come to fight against human life will be face to face with the life they wish to kill: the most precious, little, defenseless among us.

This fight isn’t about opinion.

It isn’t about religion.

It isn’t about race or gender.

There’s no “middle ground” in a fight for the lives of the most vulnerable.

This is an all out war of good versus evil, moral right versus moral wrong, life versus death.

Every year the March for Life is more sobering as hundreds of thousands MORE lives are killed each year… but this year it’s even more meaningful to me.

There WILL be two sides of this fight written about in the history books… just as there were in regards to slavery, the Holocaust, and racial discrimination which side will you be on?
