Brandi
Brandi was scheduled to die by abortion in the womb of a pregnant woman who was merely 21 weeks pregnant. Once the saline abortion was complete with no sign of life after being burned alive in the womb during the routine medical procedure then delivered dead and left for hours in the solution that was intended to kill her, the "caring" professionals at the abortion facility were preparing to toss her out like trash but God said NO to the death sentence imposed on her life in the womb. To everyone's shock, Brandi's arm shot up and she now travels inspiring those on both sides of the abortion debate with her testimony of overcoming odds as an abortion survivor and being a voice for ones like herself who are given NO "choice" Brandi also understands the pain of abortion having herself been forced into the "choice" deception as a result of rape in 2003! A few weeks after her 27th birthday, Brandi learned that she is a product of rape which is what led to her being aborted so her determination is stronger than ever to see life respected from conception to natural death without exception. Her life is living proof that no matter how a baby is conceived, the value of life is priceLESS. She is a true defender of "women's rights" by putting a face on the reality that women in the womb, especially those conceived in rape, are ignored therefore they have NO "right to choose"
Brandi's testimony has been used to literally change laws on a state level that will impact and save countless lives for generations. Brandi isn't only an abortion survivor and post-abortive woman, she is also a strong warrior for Christ and the unborn, defender of the defenseless and forgotten, public speaker and political activist!
Although Brandi faces physical challenges and obstacles, she uses her victory over them as an example that makes a difference in the lives of others.
Her audiences include but are not limited to: churches, women's groups, youth groups, educational institutions, community events and anywhere she is asked to go to share her testimony of overcoming odds, experiencing God's love, and finding forgiveness and freedom in Jesus Christ!
As an internationally recognized advocate for life, Brandi travels being a voice for the voiceless, defending the defenseless and forgotten, and reaching out to those facing or who have experienced the trauma of abuse, struggles of adversity, and or the pain of loss!
She has been a featured speaker at several major Pro-Life events including Operation Save America's national event in Atlanta, GA, a Pro-Life rally at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO where she not only inspired the crowd by her amazing testimony but also publically forgave Senator, now President Obama for his radical support opposing the right to life, especially for those who like herself survive abortions.
Brandi has had the honor of meeting US Congressmen such as The Honorable Richard Baker, State Senator AG Crowe, Sharon Weston Broome who is not only a State Senator but one who is also nationally recognized as one of the most motivational and passionate speakers, Founder of TheCall, Lou Engle, Family Research Council President, Tony Perkins, Louisiana Family Forum President, Gene Millis, Senator Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, Speaker of the House and Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich and others.
Brandi has also worked to push for Pro-Life legislation on a national level by working on campaigns for Presidents and US Senators who were all elected into office!
Strongly impacted by her determination and courage in the face of defeat, she received high recommendations from President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for an educational program run through the US Department of Labor that she graduated from with honors.
In her tireless effort of seeing to it that all life and humanity is equally respected, Brandi has worked closely with nationally recognized Pro-Life leaders such as Sandra Cano, Lou Engle, Cal Zastrow, Walter Hoye, Troy Newman, Rev. Pat Mahoney, Pam Caylor, Ben Clapper, Cindy Collins etc.
In her home state of Louisiana, her dedication to the sanctity of life issue has been highly esteemed by State Senators AG Crowe, Sharon Weston Broome who is not only a State Senator but one who is also nationally recognized as one of the most motivational and passionate speakers and other elected officials for which she has been privileged to testify in support of major Pro-Life as well as Criminal Justice legislation which as a result of her testimony, laws have been changed to make a positive impact for generations in the lives of the citizens of the state of Louisiana.
In her spare time, Brandi continues to give of herself and has been an active volunteer with the American Red Cross, United Way, St. Vincent DePaul Society, CASA, RAINN as well as several other humanitarian and disaster relief organizations. Her joy is in giving back to her community and being a light to those around her. She loves serving others in any way she can no matter what the persons social or economic status may be.
Brandi has stood on the frontlines peacefully in defense of equal rights for all from conception to natural death without exception in places no one else would consider such as Wichita, KS which was labeled as the abortion capital of the world until the murder of late abortion provider Dr. George Tiller where she kept 24/7 vigil for over a year before he was killed.
She has also taken a likewise bold stand mostly alone at the steps of her state capitol building which has affected lawmakers and blessed her to be able to affect positive change on a state level.
Brandi is a strong a voice of the "choice"LESS, defender of the defenseless and forgotten, and is always reaching out to those facing or who have experienced the trauma of abuse, struggles of adversity, and or the pain of loss! When the world gives up on you, God gets glorified through you. She encourages the hopeless, brings healing to the broken, inspires and motivates those who need a boost in their walk to know that with God, NOTHING is impossible.
In 2012, Brandi was responsible for having legislation passed to protect children with developental disabilities from enduring abuse that may result in their death. This legislation was inspired by a young child in Louisiana who had Cerebral Palsy and was confined to a wheelchair but was decapitated by his father because of his disability. The legislation has since gone to other states across the USA.
As a former foster youth, Brandi is a strong advocate against child abuse as well as for kids in the foster care system as a CASA advocate.

"Brandi ministered from our pulpit to change lives with her testimony! She is in the face of satan and destroying his efforts to destroy lives. She is a Pro-Life advocate and fights for the rights of the unborn. She not only survived it she was a victim of it as well! She loves the women that have had an abortion and tries to change the hearts of those planning to. She has been before Congress to change legislature to be more Pro-Life.

Thank you Brandi for helping me to become a mother during a time of stress and for indirectly showing me to NEVER judge anyone."
Randi
*Randi is the abortion minded mother that Brandi reached out to on MySpace in 2008. When Pro-Life groups/orgs refused to help Randi, Brandi NEVER gave up. At the time Brandi met her, Randi was pregnant with a baby scheduled to die by abortion who Brandi later found out was a rape conception. Noel is now 6 years old and the joy of Randi's life!
"Brandi, it was great meeting you as well. To be very honest, you made what was a difficult decision for me --- very easy. You are living proof. God Bless and thank you coming into my life."

The Impact of Abortion
I share the impact of abortion on the unborn in the womb, how those who go through it are affected, what it's like to work in the abortion industry. I also share that it's possible to overcome challenges no matter what stigma society places on a person.
Disabled Yet Productive
Living with disabilities isn't a negative thing if you use the obstables as stepping stones to make life better for others.
Surviving Domestic Violence
Growing up in an abusive home with a violent alcoholic and witnessing that person choke the life out of my other parent at a young age could've been the end of the world for me but I deicided to advocate for those in similar situations.
Alchol and Drug Abuse Does Affect Kids
I live daily with the affects of alcoholism and drug abuse. My pain has become an inspiration for others and has been an eye opener for those who need to see what it does to kids of parents who have substance abuse issues.
