'I Will Raise Your Baby, Queline': Pro-Lifer Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is

A conservative Christian blogger is making a public plea to a woman who tweeted that she was planning to abort her baby, offering to give her child a loving home.

Matt Barber runs the website, barbwire.com. He writes that his heart was touched when he stumbled upon a tweet from a woman named Queline who stated, "I will terminate a pregnancy soon. These things aren't fun or easy."

When Barber saw the tweet from Queline, short for Jaqueline, he said the Holy Spirit moved on his heart to try and intervene.

"Please don't kill your baby. It won't provide freedom," he tweeted back.

He was surprised when she replied: "We can't afford a baby, that's that, there are no other options unless you want to kick in 50K. Not entertaining this further."

Barber could hardly believe a battle for a human life was suddenly playing out over Twitter. He immediately spoke with his wife, and she agreed that they needed to offer a real solution to Queline.

"There's always adoption. My wife, Sarah, and I will adopt, love and raise your baby as our own. Follow me and IM and we can discuss?" he replied.

"I'm 100% serious. We'll pay costs, come to New York and meet you. Praying for you and your family now. Your child can live and be loved," he continued.

Barber said they have yet to hear back from Queline, but they're praying she will still reply privately. He wrote an entire blog to offer her a better explanation and more proof that he's sincere and not just trying to convert her to the pro-life cause or conservatism.

"To Queline, I say this: You may find it hard to believe, dear lady, but, though we don't know you, Sarah and I already love you – as does our Heavenly Father, Yahweh, and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ," he writes.

Barber also explained that while he is pro-life and he and his wife have five children, he knows the personal pain of abortion. His first unborn baby was aborted when he was a teenager.

He further pleads with Queline, "You are a valued and empowered woman. The choice is yours."

"In a time of such division, imagine the story that might be told: A conservative, Christian family, and a young, progressive, Jewish woman – one pro-life, the other, pro-choice – while diametrically opposed on matters of principle and politics, coming together in our shared humanity around the shared values of love and compassion, all so that one, just one, of God's most precious and innocent little babes might yet live and be loved," Barber concluded.
