I Need Your Help!
Part Three of Three

I need your help! I want the same opportunities that you have for ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,’ but my mom is being counseled to cut my life short. She does not understand that I am a human being and that I deserve a chance to live my life.

People are saying that I am not a human being because I have too many needs. But my older brother is one year old and he has to be helped to eat food and to stay clean and healthy. No one says my mother should kill him. My grandmother is ill and needs medical assistance. She can not feed herself or walk without aid.

No one says my grandmother should be killed. My needs are not very much different from theirs, so why should I be killed?

My mother worries that I might be born with a disability. Does that mean I can not live my life like a normal human being? Helen Keller was blind and deaf, but she did not let that make her life worse. If I do have a disability it will not make my life worse, it will only make my life different. Normal is different for everybody.

My mom is also considering abortion because she can not afford another child. If she can not afford to have me, I think adoption would be a good thing for me and her. A family that loves me and cares for me will raise me well. There are a lot of families who want children, but are unable to have them. Therefore, there are many families that would be willing to adopt me. There are a lot of families that have adopted children and treat them like their own children.

In addition, I, like all people, have an immortal soul. God wants all of us to be saints in heaven with Him. It is not fair that so many people do not get a chance to get to heaven.

I know it is not easy for my mom to have another child and to take care of me, but I think I can contribute a lot to the world. I could become a doctor and find a cure for a disease, I could become a firefighter and save many lives, or I could become a teacher and help children to become as smart person as they can be.

Please gather up enough courage to defend me, and all of the other unborn like me.
