    Most people that write about prolife and abortion issues have have no personal knowledge about what they are writing or saying, only the passion of trying to save unborn children – which I do commend them for. However, just know that I have personally been inside of an abortion clinic, saw the conditions, dealt with the staff and suffered the procedure. What I have to purport is not arbitrary or flippant; it is the stone cold truth.

  • Salvation Help

    Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and have broken your laws. I understand that my sin has separated me from you. I am sorry and I ask you to forgive me. I accept the fact that your son Jesus Christ died for me, was resurrected, and is alive today and hears my prayers. I now open my heart’s door and invite Jesus in to become my Lord and my Saviour. I give Him control and ask that He would rule and reign in my heart so that His perfect will would be accomplished in my life.

    In Jesus name I pray.
    Amen.

Komen: Evil begets evil.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on February 3, 2012

Why are you so surprised about Komen backing out? Interestingly, there is no reason why Komen and Planned Parenthood should have ever hooked up; senseless. I’m still trying to figure out why this whole Komen phenomenon ever happened in the first place. To my knowledge, there is still the American Cancer Society – if you feel burdened to give money to benefit a cure for cancer, rather than giving your money to baby killers.

So, why did Komen get so big? Major corporations support Komen, such as:

American Airlines, Ask.com, Caribou Coffee Company, Caterpillar, Crayola, Dell, Dots, Evian, Energizer, Ford Motor Company, Forever 21, Georgia-Pacific, Hallmark Gold Crown Stores, Igloo, Hewlett-Packard, Kitchen Aid, La Madeline, Liberty Mutual, Lowe’s Companies, Major League Baseball, Microsoft, NBC Today Show, Nestle Purina PetCare Company, Nordstrom, Old Navy, OPI, Oreck, Otis Spunkmeyer, Pandora Jewelry, Pepperidge Farm, Payless ShoeSource, Redken, REMAX, Sally Beauty, Stein Mart, Walgreens, Yoplait….and my personal favorite…..ZUMBA.

So, each and every one of you that “Zumba’s” at a church, is supporting Planned Parenthood.

That is a partial list. Click here to find more companies and corporations that support Komen who supports Planned Parenthood who kills unborn babies.

Math doesn’t lie. Unborn babies are dying because someone is paying for it.

My Constitutional right to share the grief.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 25, 2012

Being Post Abortive, I know the need to heal but I also know that I have a need to share this grief with others. As a nation we have been so desensitized by Roe v. Wade and the subsequent actions by those that devalue LIFE. Today, there are more of us than them and we are still ruled by THEM. My expression of post abortion grief is not acceptable; it’s thought of as unnecessary. It is a constitutional right to abort, but not a constitutional right to grieve the loss of an aborted child out loud, whether in the media, in church or on the street corner.

Like most Post Abortive women, I hid my grief and my failure from everyone. No woman wants to say out loud that their sin brought them to a point that they would kill their unborn child, as if to put a period on the end of a sentence. But it wasn’t that simple, like all prochoicers will have you believe – abortion was not an answer to any situation for any reason.

If you think about it clearly, abortion was brought about not just to exterminate what Sanger called ‘inferiors’, abortion was a wealthy woman’s way of hiding illicit affairs and a wealth man’s way of hiding their sin from their families. Abortion was a friend to the wealthy. The shame of hiding abortion is greater than the short fix of a bad situation. Not so long ago Planned Parenthood was yet again in the spotlight for having covered up an abortion for a minor girl whose adult boyfriend dropped her off and paid for the procedure. Covering up statutory rape is a crime in this country, but not the abortion. As time goes on, these post abortive lives are peppered with tiny bits of what our children would have been – a son or daughter, a friend, maybe someone that would have saved someone else’s life.

Your constitutional right to grieve the loss of your aborted child is not welcome by our society, but GOD wants to heal you and wants to take your grief away:

“The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.” Psalm 147:2-6, NKJV

Unresolved grief is like a cancer. Grief is personal, grief can be indefinite. My constitutional right to grieve the loss of my aborted child is being taken away and replaced with liberal half-truths to blatant lies.

It’s time to grieve out loud. Abortion has a face – and that face is mine.

The 39th year of Roe v. Wade – my Prolife year in review.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 19, 2012

It is still so hard to believe that after many years of being a polite society here in these United States of America that Roe v. Wade will soon be in its 40th year. With abortion still legal, we as a nation and a society have become a dismal failure.

In this past 39th year of Roe, much has happened to further the lives of our unborn children but as we all know, it is not enough. We can march around world a bazillion times but until we are led by a prolife president that has the guts to say NO to abortion and to Roe, marching won’t matter. I know marching and other protests bring awareness to the problem, but even I’m sick of the word ‘awareness’: I WANT RESULTS.

We cannot change the problem until we can change the heart.

This past 39th year of Roe, I have been entwined with the Heartbeat Bill here in Ohio. I had to get out of the box and say out loud, in the House committee that was hearing testimony for the Bill, that I had an abortion and how it has affected my life. And as difficult as that was for me to testify before the House Committee, it was even harder to hear testimony supporting abortion. I can’t tell you how awful it is to listen to men and women say it’s a RIGHT to kill an unborn child. In my entire 50 years on this earth, I still am in awe of people – especially those that consider themselves ‘clergy’ – that fight the devil’s fight to kill our unborn. All it did was fuel the fire that God has put in my gut to stop this heinous bleating of ‘reproductive rights’.

The Heartbeat Bill brought me in front of the media, as well. It was something that was kind of cool and rather humbling. The local news and newspaper was interested in the Bill and that I testified on behalf of post abortive women, like me. Somehow that didn’t make sense to people but it certainly did to me. I know that God set me up to be the one to look to for the post abortive answer to the abortion question.

As this 39th year of Roe progressed, I was given the distinct honor of being asked to be the speaker at the closing rally for 40 Day for Life here in Dayton. It blessed me beyond measure. A great big thanks to everyone that came and supported me and the cause for LIFE.

In October, we went to Dayton Life Chain and stood with 2000 other people in silent prayer for one hour in reflection of the lives of the unborn that were aborted. I think we at least a 3 mile chain this last time! As drivers passed by, maybe at least one unborn child was saved. I really enjoy making the devil MAD.

As the Heartbeat Bill progressed, I was honored to testify again, this time for the Senate Committee. As I sat through the first day of testimony, I was grieved to see very young girls and boys in Planned Parenthood t-shirts. Obviously, these kids have no idea what they were doing. They giggled and made fun of Prolifers behind their backs with obscene gestures…..all bought and paid for by our tax money.

In this 39th year of Roe, women that I know felt comfortable enough to confide in me about their abortion experience. In a way it is nice to know that I am not alone, but I kind of wish I was. I hate that anyone ever had to go through the abortion procedure. The life of a post abortive woman is never a bed of roses – of that I am sure.

During this 39th year of Roe, I became a grandmother again. She was not planned or even considered until her mom realized she was pregnant. I am thankful that her mom chose LIFE. I’m thankful that my son is a good dad. And she is quite beautiful.

Part of being prolife is being a bit of an evangelist. This last year has given me further proof that GOD is in control and will prevail. He will change the hearts of women and men about LIFE; all I am is His servant…as we all should be. Without understanding that GOD is the Creator – the Author and Finisher, the Alpha and the Omega – then we stand a weak chance of changing the mind of people about LIFE. After all, if you don’t know where LIFE comes from, how can you respect it?

So as this 39th year of Roe v. Wade comes to a close, and the 40th year begins, we need to be much more attentive to the post abortive woman. There are AT LEAST 55+ million of us that have to deal with our failure every day. But our failure can be what changes the face of abortion and overturns Roe v. Wade. I am ever thankful to GOD that He has brought me this far in my Prolife LIFE, but there is far, far more to do.

I want to thank my husband for being the only one that stood by me at every event and encouraged my every written word; whether it was on this site or one of my many Letters to the Editor of our Ohio newspapers or writing testimony. I say I don’t know if I could have done this alone, but GOD is with me! And it took my husband to remind me of that every step of every day of my Prolife LIFE this 39th year of Roe v. Wade.

Let me leave this with you regarding your Post Abortive walk:

“For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:10-14, NKJV

GOD knows you are or were in Babylon, a place where you are not celebrated, just tolerated. He wants you to know that all you have to do is ask Him and He will take you away from the captivity of being Post Abortive. GOD LOVES YOU! He knows your heart; He knows that you regret your ‘choice’. He knows you want to heal. So now it’s your turn to turn to HIM and be made whole again. Celebrate LIFE – celebrate Him.

I am a former unborn child.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 16, 2012

Being a former unborn child, I feel I have a right to my opinion and judgment of those that were also former unborn children, who have some kind of pseudo fear of what they determine to be ‘unwanted’ babies and doomed to an untimely death.

Everyone that has ever been born has also been…unborn.

As a former unborn child I can tell you that being after-born is way better than the certain death of 25% of unborn children. In fact, I did not need anyone to tell me how viable or unviable my after-born life would be – LIFE was still my CHOICE. I did not need to be put out of my misery or kept from my after-born life because I may not have been perfect enough.

Being a former unborn child, I have to wonder exactly who is deeming who ‘unwanted’. Now, circumstances can make one assume being either unwanted or unplanned to be non-life worthy. However, being a former unborn child, I can assure you that I preferred LIFE to being vacuumed out of my mother’s womb.

Was I planned? Was I part of a plan? Was I even consulted? Hmm…interesting view, I would say. Okay then – how does any former unborn child become a proponent of choosing death for other unborn children who have also NOT been consulted?

I am now considering the title ‘Unborn Child Consultant’ along with advocate, activist and minister. It seems to me that a certain demographic has been long ignored and not given their God-given rights and lawful proprieties. It also seems that many other people that are too self-absorbed in their own after-born lives to think outside the box to see that we are a nation in trouble without the 50-100 million dead unborn children to help support our country.

As a former unborn child I will tell you that abortion has never been the answer to any question. Unborn children do not want to die.

But as an Unborn Child Consultant, I will do whatever it takes to make the killing stop.

Personhood vs. Incremental Law; the failure of Initiative 26

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on November 10, 2011

Election Day has come and gone and sadly, unborn Life is still at risk. Mississippi, which has some of the strictest anti-abortion law in the United States struck down the Personhood Amendment. Fingers are getting pointed toward who dropped the ball but the reality is this: The Church failed.

I get lambasted (off-handedly, I might add) by Personhood people because I support the Heartbeat Bill, which is incremental law. I kind of get why they are holding out for Personhood; we all want to see all unborn Life protected at every stage from conception. But what this last election in Mississippi has proven is that incremental law works, going for the gold does not.

The differences are clear – the Heartbeat Bill will protect life from a detectable heartbeat until birth. I know that means that not all unborn Life is protected (yet), but if you bear with me (and some of you have, thank you very much) you’ll understand why this bill would have prevailed in Mississippi. Personhood, if INTERPRETED incorrectly, which it was, will fail every time because according to Planned Parenthood who spearheaded the attack, it will impede a woman’s right to contraception and in vitro fertilization.

What did Planned Parenthood do? They went after the Church and it worked.

First, I don’t care what you believe…unless it’s coming straight from the Bible. In other words, just because you couldn’t have children does not mean you manipulate the hand of God to get what you want with in vitro fertilization. That is not how the God of the Bible works. There is no gray area; He’s God, you’re not. Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on something God hates, why not adopt children that are here and need you NOW?

Second, contraception has never been sanctified by the Church at large or God. It was accepted as a dismal fact that women in the Church will use contraception anyway and Pastors could not change it no matter how hard they preach and teach against it. Ladies, you cannot control the hand God. Life was meant to glorify Him, not get around Him.

Third, PRIDE. Planned Parenthood hit you where you are weak…your own pitiful ego.

PRIDE.

“These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:  A proud look, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19, NKJV

Christian woman were targeted by Planned Parenthood and they caved. I truly have to wonder if that woman is a Christian if they would actually consider in vitro and stand in the middle of the abortion fight not knowing where to turn.

Personhood was played well – a nice black eye for the Church. The innocent blood of unborn Life will be on the hands of Christian women that believe the lie that they can do what God does. You don’t believe in abortion? Neither does God. But you voted against it anyway.

The Morality of Roe v. Wade

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on November 3, 2011

Ask a Liberal whether they think abortion is wrong and you’ll find out that they usually do believe that abortion is wrong – but they won’t impose their ‘morality’ on anyone else. In other words if the Supreme Court said so, it must be right. Liberals want to make our society socialistic to squelch an imposed morality and the deity of God.

Imposed morality? Remember three key points of Roe v. Wade:

  • Right to Privacy: The 14th Amendment implied to guarantee a freedom of choice for women to choose death for their unborn child.
  • Violates the 14th Amendment: ‘No person shall be denied Life, Liberty or Property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws’.
  • Personhood: Justices declared and unborn child to be a non-person much like the in Dred Scott case.
  • The 14th Amendment became doublespeak, not what the Framers intended.
  • What the Framers intended was dashed due to imposed morality.

Simply put, the 14th Amendment was taken completely out of context and set up the right to abort throughout nine months of pregnancy:

‘Thus, the Framers’ original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment has not provided a useful yardstick to measure the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. Since the mid-1940s, the Supreme Court has strayed further from the Framers’ original understanding, recognizing controversial privacy rights to use contraceptives (griswold v. connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 85 S. Ct. 1678, 14 L. Ed. 2d 510 [1965]), obtain abortions prior to the third trimester of pregnancy (roe v. wade, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 [1973]).”

Dignity or Divinity of unborn Life? I say both, you decide. All Life was meant to be lived, not cut off due to circumstance. All Life is an assignment from God to be lived as He meant for us to…all of us.

Roe v. Wade has imposed a different morality, one of caring for those born first than those not yet born. We the People have become a civilization of moralistic wannabes rather than the Godly society that we are meant to be.

Without God, there is nothing. With God we are everything!

Coming back to the humanity of LIFE.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on October 30, 2011

Church, what is your stand for Life? What is your written a policy about Life? Does your church know that you have a Life policy?

The humanistic world is creeping into the Church trying to change how we think about Life, abortion, the gay agenda and world unity. Relativism is tweaking the ears of the highly intelligent church member leading them to believe that if there is ‘more’ [to learn] out there, it would substantiate their need for creative thinking instead of the simple truth of the Gospel. Scripture has no real value beyond subjective moments of ‘inspiration’.

“The announcement that the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA, has chosen a lesbian, pro-abortion president to lead the seminary has sent shock waves around the Anglican Communion. The appointment of Katherine Hancock Ragsdale highlights a week that also saw TEC bishop-elect Kevin Thew Forrester replace a reading from the New Testament with a reading from the Quran at St. Paul’s Marquette, Michigan.” David W. Virtue

Humanistic values now reflect a perverse sense of priorities in the Post Modern Church…or rather, the Emergent. Morality and spirituality does not count for the truth or “real” knowledge of those in the Post Modern Church – they’ve moved from when Life begins to if Life can be sustained to their satisfaction.

And succinctly, Roe made sense to the Post Modern Church. The dignity of Life was effectively dismissed and replaced with the humanistic need to save the world without God.

The Emergent has taken ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ to mean that to murder unborn Life is to be merciful.

Certainly the Emergent is not Evangelical any longer, if they ever were. They’ve become an entity that is more humanitarian than Christian. Has being relevant changed how the Church views Life?

Most denominations make exceptions for abortion in certain circumstances but fail to realize that no matter the reason or situation, a child will die.

Abortion is…death.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on September 30, 2011

Sometimes I have to remember that just because I keep up with Prolife issues doesn’t mean that everyone else does. Certainly there are many ‘converts’, like I was once, that really don’t understand what abortion is or what it does. They see lots of media bias toward the acceptability of abortion and how Prolifers are typically considered bomb-carrying terrorists.

On my blog, someone put in the search box, “do abortions always kill the baby?”

I sat back and thought about how ignorant we all can be of sometimes the most obvious things. Yes, abortion is MEANT to kill the baby.

But does the baby always die? The INTENT of abortion is to always kill the baby. But there are times when a baby is accidentally born alive and then left to die in hospital closets, just ask Jill Stanek. There were times when babies survived a saline abortion, just ask Melissa Ohden.

Through tragic circumstances like rape, a baby has to die? How many more Down Syndrome babies have to die because they aren’t perfect enough to their parents?

Abortion has always been a way out, not to save a woman’s life.

4000 babies die every day in the United States that we know of.

Yes, abortions always kills the baby.

The revelation of LIFE

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on September 25, 2011

Having a revelation of LIFE is understanding the fundamental right to life of every human being, and that right is slowly being taken away from us. No one wants to fight for it like our ancestors did over 235 years ago; people fought and died for what we are letting go of in the present time. Civil rights and liberties in the United States is how we became a nation. Being oppressed and persecuted took us to a new world where we could express ourselves, be equal and have the opportunities to have opinions, much less utter them.

The act of abortion is a tool that murders an unborn child, no matter how much lipstick you put on it. It’s never the right thing to do or the humane thing to do. Abortion is a choice because the American people let the government into their bedrooms in 1973, citing a right to privacy? Their right to privacy became legal murder…talk about oxymoronic. Abortion, no matter how pretty you try to package it, is wrong.

Have you gotten a revelation of Life?

One of the biggest problems is that the Church is nearly not involved at all. The Church has clearly chosen not to do anything saying that abortion is a political issue. Murder is political? Somewhat, since Roe v. Wade; murder became political and legal in 1973. Pastors of large churches and denominations are scared of losing their big salaries if they take a stance on something as simple as the sixth commandment, “Thou shall not kill”.

Pastor, if that is your opinion, we need to talk.

The right to Life is slowly slipping away, one unborn child at a time. It’s time to save our children and take our country back from the tyrannical and the violent and give it back to God – HE is the author and finisher of all things, not our slippery government:

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2, KJV

Pastors, we need to talk.

At the Rally for the Heartbeat Bill

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on September 21, 2011

What can I say? The rally was incredible and awe-inspiring. We heard from people on the front-lines of the fight for LIFE; current Ohio state representatives, state senators…and that’s just the beginning!

The three of us that testified for the Post Abortive Woman

Hearing from Dr. Jack Willke and hearing his recording – on a cassette tape – of a beating heart at just 6 weeks gestation. Just hearing that beautiful sound brought fresh tears to my eyes. Anyone that has had a child has heard that sound of LIFE. We take for granted that our heart, being an involuntary muscle – a muscle that beats 72 times per minute – does its job as long as we take care of it.

The heart is at the center of the entire circulatory system. That system consists of a network of blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries. These blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of the body. The heart works 24/7, even on holidays.

After only 21 days, the human heart begins to beat in an unborn child….just 21 days. How can anyone kill a person that has a beating heart and not be a murderer only because that person is not yet born?

Great big Thanks go to Janet Porter of Faith2Action, Linda Theis & Rachelle Heidlebaugh of the Womens Resource Center of Hancock County, Bobbi Radeck & Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America, Lori Viars of Ohio Board of Elections, Julie Busby of Ohio Right to Life, Phil Burress of Citizens for Community Values, Jill Stanek, Troy Newman of Operation Rescue…I know I’ve missed many but just know that what you all do for LIFE inspires me and millions! God Bless you all and THANK YOU!!!
