37 Years and Counting
Today marks the 37th anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s Roe vs Wade decision, legalizing abortion on demand. Under the aegis of that ruling some 50 million abortions have taken place in our country. Pray for God to be merciful to our country. Pray that he would convict the consciences of Americans regarding this travesty.
One encouraging sign: The National Right to Life website (http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/facts/abortionstats.html) reports that “After reaching a high of over 1.6 million in 1990, the number of abortions annually performed in the U.S. has dropped back to levels not seen since the late 1970s.”
May this trend continue. After all, as even Dr Seuss’s Horton the elephant knows, “A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
