Every life matters

We must choose to support a rape victim, a single mother, an abused mother and most of all we need to speak hopeand strength into a society who looks fora quick fix, or an escape to hide the pain.We need to give life,as everyone's life matters regardless ofthe circumstances. It's a choice,but no baby should pay for the wrong choice of another.

Life isn't fair;the system is unjust;people get away far too easily with theircrimes. I am not thankful to the man who raped my birth mother. I will never know him.I will never know how manyotherrapes or crimes he committed. He doesn't even know I exist. Forhim it was an act of selfishness, thoughwe cannot ever really imagine the mind of a rapist.

We can't begin to understand why cruelty happens, and we should never accept violence against women. It should never become an act we silence or don't give a voice just because we fear the shame.

Look me in the face, see my heart and tell me I am not worth the life I was given.

Can you?

I hope not. Every life matters!
