I See My Son Reflected In You -- Message from Mother Who Miscarried After Rape, by Diana Contreras
This message moved me to tears! I received this heartfelt message from a Chilean mother just one week after the Chilean Supreme Court upheld the new abortion law legalizing abortion for rape, incest, fetal abnormality and life of the mother, and one week before I will arrive in Chile to speak, where I will have the opportunity to meet Diana in person. This letter is published here with her permission. I hope this will be an encouragement to everyone associated with Save The 1, to see that we are a global family who truly care for one another. -- Rebecca Kiessling
Dear Rebecca, I hope you are well. Unfortunately, my country of Chile gave the green light to death, but I would like to express my commitment to life.
I have thought a lot about you because I am the mother of two babies who died -- Angelito and Gabriel. The first one was the product of a rape when I was only 15 years old. I wanted to express my feelings of affection towards you because I see my son, Angelito reflected in you and not because of your origin, but because of your feelings of kindness and love towards the innocent.
I know that my son would have fought side by side with you and me. To me, you are much more than a product of rape. To me, you are love made flesh and I promise that I will continue fighting whether we have that law or not. Although. I must confess that I suffer seeing how the people have become cold and indolent, but I will not cease in my fight for my children and for all those who are to come, and for you too. I will not stop fighting against the culture of death.
Thank you for being a sight of my Angelito, who without knowing, with his short passing through my life left an eternal footprint. From here I send a hug and I ask my children to give you the strength to continue fighting, a hug with all my heart.

A President Who Kills Her Most Vulnerable Citizens? by Brad Smith
You can
measure the value of a society by how the weakest members are treated. Since 1989, Chile has been a country that
protects these precious souls, but President Bachelet of Chile has decided to
join the sick and depraved people of this world who have targeted disabled
children for annihilation. Chile’s
Cámara de Diputados has linked arms with President Bachelet to vote for a bill
that would allow disabled children to be killed in the womb by legalizing
abortion in these cases. Does a decent society
protect or destroy its most vulnerable citizens?
My wife and
I have a little girl named Faith -- now 7 years old. While
Faith was still in the womb, doctors believed that she was facing a grave
medical condition called Trisomy 18 or Edwards Syndrome. This is a chromosome abnormality that is
often referred to as “Incompatible with Life” or a “Fatal Fetal Anomaly.” We were pushed to have testing while she was
still in utero because they wanted us to end her life, but we were not
interested in ending her life, and we knew that even performing this test would
risk Faith’s life so we opted for no testing.
When Faith
was born, everyone saw that something was wrong. We found out a couple of weeks later that Faith,
in fact, had Trisomy 18. Even at this
point after Faith was born, we were being encouraged not to treat our
daughter. Doctors did not think that we
should offer her even some of the most basic medical care to help our child
live and thrive. We even had a doctor
who told us that “you will only prolong her life.” Seriously, isn’t that what the medical
industry is all about, prolonging life?
You see, in
the USA, we have allowed this perverse and demented view of life to take hold
in our country through legalized abortion.
We have created a culture of death that causes many in our society to
think of life as having little value and they are willing to judge the worth of another person’s life based upon their valueless
view. So now in the United States, doctors kill over
90% of children like my daughter Faith who have a disability. Before they can even breathe their first
breath, doctors murder our disabled children in the womb.
When I was a
young boy in 1973, abortion was legalized in the United States. Where I grew up in Ohio, we had a local
school that sent buses around to pick up disabled children and take them to be
taught. Today, the school no longer
exists because our culture has literally wiped most of the disabled children
from the face of our nation. This is the
legacy that we are leaving because abortion has created a selfish, narcissistic
people in the USA -- so consumed
with selves that citizens do not even care about the most vulnerable people among
us.
The world
has become a very scary place for disabled children. Good people of Chile, do not let your
president turn your country into a killing field for disabled children. Don’t allow yourselves to be deceived that
this is the best choice for everyone involved.
This is a LIE. Your country will
not be made better through abortion; rather, it will become degraded and
dehumanized. Your people will not have
better lives because disabled children do not exist; they will simply have been
deprived of the opportunity to develop compassion and to know the unconditional
love of a disabled child who has only love to offer.
