To whom this may concern:
This letter is to let you know how grateful I am
to have worn the precious feet on my lapel at work. I had bought it at a fair from a
pro-life tent. This fair was at the John's Hopkins University of Maryland. (ed.
note: The "Precious Feet" pin shows the exact size and shape of an unborn baby's
feet at 10 weeks after conception).
I've had questions of what it meant and where I
got it. This gave me a lot of opportunity to explain to young and old what it
was. I think it is a superb idea.
In my own testimony seven years ago, I was in an
automobile accident and in the hospital. I found out that I was pregnant about 12
weeks (3 months and baby was fine). My boyfriend at the time now my husband was not
ready for a child (I had two boys already from previous marriage). [He] Persuaded me
to have an abortion. No matter how much I tried to not do it even with his mother
trying to talk him out of it, he insisted and I went ahead and did it. I will never
forget that experience ever in my life. I promised myself and God that I would never
again do something that cruel in my life. Time went by, things happened between us.
He went away to his country and came back and within a month I became pregnant.
This time it was different. I had my pin
which I was wearing for about 2 years. When he tried to pursued me this time I
refused. It did not matter to me what he was saying or threatening to do. All
I know was that I had something so precious inside that only God could have put
there. When I had my first abortion (the last) I did not know what a baby looked
like at 10 wk. or 3 mos. inside the womb. When I became pregnant with this child
which is my number 4 baby I had full knowledge of it and I could not come to myself to do
something like this, especially for the same person! We struggled with it throughout
the whole pregnancy and I refused until the end. This baby won. When won my
heart my soul my everything.
My daughter was born on June 27th 1996, 8 lbs. 3
oz., 21 inches long at Franklin Square Hospital in Maryland. She is now 7 Months old
(Zuleika Monica Baldeo).
Enclosed please find a picture of the little one
whom your little feet saved which is my own.
