"Gianna Jessen's Biography

Gianna is a Christian. Her life was given to her by the grace of God. She shouldn't be walking, but more miraculous still; she should not even be alive. Gianna's biological mother was 17 when she had a SALINE ABORTION IN HER THIRD TRIMESTER (emphasis added by Lindyy). After being burned alive for approximately 18 hours in the womb from the saline solution, Gianna was delivered alive in a Los Angeles County abortion clinic. Her medical records state, "born during saline abortion"...this is what caused her Cerebral Palsy.

Gianna Jessen does not quit. Giving up is not an option to her. Gianna has what she refers to as the "gift" of Cerebral Palsy. She weighed a mere 2 lbs at birth and the doctors said she would never be able to hold up her head, sit up, crawl or walk. She began to walk by the age of three years old with the help of leg braces and a walker.

Gianna doesn’t believe that her Cerebral Palsy takes away her life, but, rather, enriches it. . . she walks with a slight limp today and runs marathons. On April 30, 2005 she completed her first 26.2 mile marathon after running just over 7 hours and was presented with the coveted blank blank award! On April 23, 2006 she completed the London Marathon as well. She is now determined to run marathons all over the place, because she was never supposed to even walk!

Gianna understands the plight of orphans, being one herself. She was placed into the foster care system early on in life, eventually being taken into the loving home of a woman named Penny. Penny has been a mother to 56 foster children in her life. Gianna was later adopted by Penny's daughter, making Penny Gianna's grandmother. According to Gianna, Penny saved her life.


Gianna's travels and experiences have led her all over the world. Her life has been covered by many major news media outlets, including, most recently, the BBC News and World Radio, Sky News, and The Good Morning Show in England, reaching many people with a message of hope and conviction. In November 2005, Gianna spoke in several colleges all over Ireland and in December of the same year, spoke at a meeting held at the House of Commons in London. She has returned to England this year to speak in several parochial and public high schools. Gianna’s audiences include: churches - church youth crusades and women’s ministry retreats; various corporations as a motivational speaker; secular and Christian youth organizations and schools – middle school age through college, AS WELL AS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CONGRESS - MOST RECENTLY HAVING HER TESTIMONY READ BEFORE THE SUPEREME COURT IN CARHART V. GONZALES (emphasis added by Lindyy)......"

yes Ive seen the video, read the testimonies...Ive also read credible information to the contrary...it irritates me because I dont like exploitation of any kind...especially when its self exploitation to make a buck...

What "credible information to the contrary"? I've been looking for said evidence since I read your first post in this thread.

Spider......THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER....if just ONE PERSON ON THIS SITE GOES AND LISTENS TO THIS....WE accomplished something on behalf of all those unborn children...

LINDYY

I just wish this was a world worth living in.

It is so very sad that you dispute the reputation of this wonderul woman.......

What puts such hatred for her in your being?


LINDYY

It is. Every animal that fights for it's life, every human who cries out at injustice, every compassionate heart that feeds the hungry speaks to the fact that this world is worth living it and it's worth making better.

I hate abortion!

But the happiness of some is built upon the suffering others. Its a brutal world of competition for limited resources.

I disagree with her claims...why do you assume disagreement equals hatred??....quite a BIG leap dont you think??

Biologically a fetus is a cancerous growth. It's unfortunate that some people need to use abortion as a form of birth control, but it's their right to do it.
Your beliefs are different then mine, but in the end it's the person who's getting the abortions decision to do it. Why should you have the right to stop her from doing something she wants to do with her body ?

No, it's not. Not even close. It's a human being growing within another human being. Ironically, the same system that almost all mammals use to bring their young into the world. Every dog has dog babies. Every cat has cat babies. And every human has human babies. It's a fact of nature. So if you believe in evolution or creationism, a embryo / fetus / new born / child / adult / elderly is still a human.

I’M THAT KIND OF WOMAN, THAT WHEN MY FEET HIT THE FLOOR EACH MORNING, THE DEVIL SAYS…………………………. “OH CRAP, SHE’S UP!"



LINDYY

Im not saying Im for abortion. Im merely pointing out the realities that we live in a world of limited resources and we live in a society based upon brutal competition. I consider that to be inhumane. I consider that to be the real crime ,that there are people who have to make these kinds of decisions because of the horrible situations they find themselves in and have no control over.

If you DO NOT KNOW the woman...NEVER HEARD her speak....have not read about or watched or listened to her......NEVER MET HER....

HOW, IN ALL HUMAN LOGIC....CAN ONE DISAGREE WITH HER CLAIMS????????

DID YOU LIVE HER LIFE?
WERE YOU THERE AT HER BIRTH?
HAVE YOU SEEN HER IN PERSON?
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HER DOCTORS?
HAVE YOU READ HER MEDICAL RECORDS?


LINDYY

It's hard to disgree with her claims when the doctor, nurses, and mother all back them up.
