Today.

Today marks the thirty sixth anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision, when our Supreme Court justices legislated from the bench and basically stated that it's ok to deny the most important of our constitutional rights, the right to life, to unborn children, so that the mother may not be "inconvenienced", "burdened" or "punished". Since this decision was handed down in 1973 approximately forty million children have died in what I am unashamed to label the American Holocaust.

Today, please pray. Pray to end abortion. Pray that our new Commander in Chief will follow the path of so many politicians and neglect to keep one of his campaign promises (the promise to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act", more here). Pray that President Obama will make wise decisions regarding this issue, as he was seen as one of the most "pro-choice" (i.e. pro-abortion) Senators in our country. Pray for the crisis pregnancy centers whose sole purpose is to show women who are considering an abortion that yes, that is a baby they are carrying, not just "fetal tissue" or "uterine contents". Pray for the demonstrators in Washington today, as well as around our country, that they will be safe and their message will not only be heard, but taken as legitimate. Say a prayer of gratitude for the women who have made the decision not to take the easy way out, and have either kept their children or provided an adoptive couple with a child of their own. And lastly, but most importantly, pray for those women who are facing fear and worry, today and every day, about what to do. Pray that they will choose life over death. Selflessness over convenience. Pray that they will choose love.
