Reflections on Roe v. Wade 36


Thanks to EWTN (http://www.ewtn.com/), I was able to watch a replay of wall-to-wall coverage of the 2009 March for Life in Washington, D.C.

I heard the call for an end to the genocide of black babies from Pastor Luke Robinson (http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jan/09012311.html) (Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church, Frederick, Md.). There is more on this untold story at http://blackgenocide.org/.

I heard women stand up and say they would be “Silent No More” about their abortion experience. Apparently, these women were not screamed at or called “murderer” by rabid protestors at abortion clinics. (http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/)

I heard men tell their story and stand up for their role in 40 million abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision on January 22, 1973.

I heard family members of Terry Schiavo describe her government-ordered starvation death in excruciating detail. (http://www.terrisfight.org/)

Over and over in my mind, I heard my young children ask me, “What did you do during the war, daddy?” I knew they meant the war for the unborn. Is my financial support enough? Is my public abortion confession enough? Where will this 21st century abolition movement move me?

After the announced closing of Guantanamo Bay, one of my pastors posted the following notice on his Facebook page: “No torture during this administration unless it’s a baby in the womb.”

I am undone.

Great blog, Steve! What you had to say about what you did during the war for the unborn very much convicted me.
