Remembering Roe 2014
55 million babies have died in the U.S. since the infamous
Supreme Court Roe v Wade ruling 41 years ago this month. It is beyond a
national tragedy. It is a choice of descent into barbarism.
Because of the ghastly numbers of dead babies, it may be
difficult to see that the pro-choice side is on a downward spiral. Clinics continue to close as state after
state pass pro-life bills. Young people faced with the scientific reality of
the humanity of pre-born babies, are decidedly a more pro-life generation.
There are many significant defections from the pro- abortion
side to the side of honoring human life.
Beginning with Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who worked not only performing
abortions by the thousands, but was very instrumental in the overturning of
laws against abortion. He later reversed his position because science showed
him it was not a mass of tissue but a baby that abortion destroyed. His film
“The Silent Scream” awakened many to the truth about abortion.
Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of the court
ruling, turned her life around becoming a Christian. Then set the record
straight. The case was based on lies. She was not raped and she never had an
abortion. She had just been used as a pawn in the case. Today she has dedicated
her life to overturning Roe v Wade.
Numerous former abortion clinic directors and
providers that have turn around, repented and now work to restore civil rights
for the babies. These include Abby Johnson formerly working for Planned Parenthood
and Carol Everett former abortion provider in the Dallas area. Everett has made
an interesting observation during her testimony, “That’s another thing, you
don’t see the defectors from the Pro-Life side to the abortion side…”
It is understandable that few would wish to be on the side
that includes the likes of “Dr.” Kermit Gosnell. Last year Gosnell was found
guilty of murdering infants in late term abortions in the most unspeakable ways.
After 41 years this nation has a choice. We can choose the
spirit of death as expressed by Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger.
Who said,” The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its
infant members is to kill it.”
Or we could choose the wisdom of Mother Teresa, ”The
greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion, which is war against the
child. The mother doesn’t learn to love, but kills to solve her own problems.
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to
use any violence to get what they want.”
41 years of bloodshed is enough. The time has come to choose
to cherish life and defeat the merchants of death. We shall overcome!
