The Best Pro-Life Sign I’ve Seen

Last updated on: February 2, 2018 at 5:22 pm By Ericka Andersen

One of the many things that drives me insane about the pro-choice movement is that they represent the antithesis of women’s empowerment. No woman wants to kill their baby, but the pro-choice community tells women that might be what they have to do in order live the life they want. It’s not always about want. Sometimes it’s more about need. A woman is told and feels that she can’t survive if she carries the baby — she doesn’t have the money or resources... Read more

7 Weeks Gestation: A Look at 5 Fingers and Toes in the First Trimester

Last updated on: January 22, 2018 at 9:19 pm By Ericka Andersen

Some say trying to outlaw abortion is not the way to go. I too prefer to focus on cultural change as well and would much rather a woman choose life than be forced to do so by law. However, we know that culture often follows the law and were abortion to be outlawed, it would be less and less viewed as an acceptable choice in society. Read more

I Will Testify to Love

Last updated on: January 10, 2018 at 9:23 pm By Ericka Andersen

I often feel unworthy to write my opinions about things. I know that sounds odd coming from someone who has a personal blog, but it’s true.

But, my husband reminded me yesterday... Read more
