In this series of pics you'll see something that truly amazed me. While driving by a local Church, I noticed all these Crosses. They had been placed there to represent the amount of Abortions that are performed in our country everyday. 4200! They were only to be on display for the month of Jan. 2001, and then moved on to another City.

I'd been meaning to stop and take pictures there for a few weeks. On the day I did stop, I'd actually forgotten about the display being there. I happened to have my camera w/ me that day so, I thought, "I'll go ahead and do a couple" When I started shooting..I was amazed. Each one of these Crosses represented a baby. I couldn't fit them all into a shot. As I stood there, it hit me so hard. What if it wasn't Crosses? What if it were actually dead babies surrounding me? To say that I was emotionally upset is an understatement. I was in complete shock! I've never got involved in this subject. You know "I'd never do it but; how can I stop someone else from it?" I was compelled to do something, if only this. I hope all who view this will maybe pass it on to others to view. Maybe it will make some sort of difference. At least it's in my Prayers that it will..God Bless! BELOW IS AN ENTRY MADE IN MY GUESTBOOK CONCERNING THIS ALBUM. I HAVE POSTED IT HERE BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE GOTTEN MANY COMMENTS CONCERNING THIS ALBUM. I FELT THIS ONE SHOULDN'T GO UN-NOTICED. Anonymous Mom has just posted a message to your PictureTrail Guest Book! This is what your Guest had to say: I like your photos. I stumbled across them on the member profiles page while looking at some friend's albums. I also wanted to say, about the album titled "politically correct", please please please don't judge all women who have abortions as murderers. Some women choose abortion due to horrendous birth defects (missing organs, missing or severely damaged brains, etc.) No one likes to talk about it but there are times when even a perinatologist will give abortion as an option because the prognosis is so terrible and will only lead to suffering and death even if the baby is born alive. We recently suffered such a loss after having two wonderful children. I cannot stomach the thought of healthy lives thrown away, but, now, having been through what I have, I can no longer be a hard-line prolifer. 1st. of all, I am no profiler. I added these pics because it was how "I" felt when taking them. "I" felt compelled to to add this album because "I" felt that "I" needed to. How "I" personally feel about this issue is exactly that MY PERSONAL FEELINGS. I AM NOT JUDGING ANYONE. IT'S NOT FOR ME TO DO SO. With that said, "I" hope that no one ever accuses me of doing so again. I feel for this woman & her struggles. BUT, IN MY OPINION standing in the mist of those CROSSES, CHANGED HOW "I" FELT FOREVER! Very SINCERELY, Susan
