Murdering Rampage: A Homeschooler Refuses to Stand by and Do Nothing      According to statistics , abortion (the killing of innocent, defenseless babies) mercilessly takes away the lives of 1.5 million babies each year; 4,000 babies every day; 1 baby every 20 seconds; approximately 40 million babies since 1973; and that’s just here in America.  While this murdering rampage is going on, many people are rallying for it to continue because they want to exercise their right to choose what is convenient to them and to get rid of an unwanted "obstacle" in their lives.  Some people do not agree but yet do nothing to help stop this rampage.      However, other people including many homeschoolers refuse to just stand by and do nothing.  Alyssa , a 14 year old homeschooler in Oregon, is one such example.  She has a strong conviction and passion for saving the innocent and defending the defenseless....

This is not a good picture (in terms of photographical quality…I used my digital camera to take a shot from an old photo).  However, this photo means so much to me because you see…that’s the moment  "my motherhood" became a reality!  The original picture was taken moments after our first baby daughter was delivered.  She was born prematurely.  She weighed only 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz.  The nurses took her away immediately to hook up a bunch of tubes to help her breathe.  We were not allowed to hold her.  That was one of the hardest things I had to deal with.  My heart was filled with mixed emotions of love, joy, elation, concern, and longing (to hold her and nurse her).  In this picture, it was the first time I had a chance to see and touch my baby!!!  She looked so fragile that I only used my pinky finger to gently stroke her clenched fist.  What a joyous & thankful moment ...
