Preparing for the 36th aniversery of Roe V. Wade.


On January 22, 1973 the supreme court ruled that abortion was legal in the first three months of pregnancy. In response to this over 49,551,703 children have been killed at the hands of their mothers in the past 36 years. The majority opinion from the case reads, "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer." The 36th anniversary is on next Thursday.I would invite you to read along with me as I ponder this act, point to alternatives,and point out ways to respond. I will be posting quotes about the topic the whole week, along with data about abortion in an attempt to shed light on the evil it is, and pointing you to great resources. Lastly, I would ask you to consider fasting and praying on behalf of the unborn on Thursday.To be honest just thinking about it makes me not want to eat anyway.
