Choose to Honor Life

By Mr King

If there is anything that my wife and I would want

you all to remember about our child Rainbow Israel,

who lived only 9 weeks in the womb and did not

reach her birth, it is this...

Whether you are pro-life...

Or pro-choice...

Of which...

I am pro-choice...

And pro-life.

(As long as the choice is left

in the hands of mothers.)

It is that each of you...

Choose To Honor Life!

Your own life...

That of one another...

That of all mothers...

And that of your children...

Born and unborn.

And if the memory our child Rainbow Israel can

inspire you, even a little bit, to honor life...

And if the way we all honored, loved, and stood

for her can move you to honor life...

Then indeed her brief life was not lived in vain.

That is so beautiful that you see the good that her life can bring though cut terribly short. I hope you keep the strength you showed in this.
