Moving on is not a one-time decision. It's a way of living.
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes.

In a mindset. In a habit.

How many survivors will it take for us to see the life behind the abortion?
Today's culture would have us believe that abortion is simply a choice, a right, a controversial argument, and a religious and political issue of pro-life vs. pro-choice.
