Always a Dark Day in America

January 22nd is always a dark day in America. The first January 22nd of this new decade was the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. There were many "March for Life" gatherings across our land. We remember the little ones with grief and we mourn the 5 million innocent children who have been killed by abortion. We think with sorrow of the multitude of "to-be" moms and dads who have suffered agonizing pain and regret following their decision to end the life of their baby.

Approximately 20 percent of our nation's children have had their lives ended by abortion. Actually, more murders have been sanctioned in the U.S. than were committed by Hitler, Stalin and Lenin combined. Minorities are targeted especially hard by abortion advocates and recently on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, nearly 15,000 people gathered in Houston to protest a Planned Parenthood's 78,000 square-foot government supported abortion business, scheduled to open in a minority area in the spring.

Planned Parenthood's pro-death founder, Margaret Sanger, wrote in "Women and the New Race" these words: "The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Until God brings this humanistic world to an end, we must fight this kind of evil and press even harder for righteousness around the globe. Once again, we painfully remember, with compassion and love, the 50 million children who have been aborted in America.

Almost 98 percent of abortions are committed for reason of convenience and America is guilty of encouraging and sponsoring these abortions in other countries. But may we continue on in our fight against the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. We have made great strides and recent polling proves that more Americans today claim to be pro-life than pro-choice. But, even with this promising data and the fact that more of our youth are rejecting abortion, we are close to passing a health care bill in Washington that will make abortion a health care "right" to be funded by the tax-payer. This action could lead to abortion becoming a Constitutional right that we would not be able to alter for years due to the current U.S. Supreme Court.

We must in 2010 and in the future elect candidates who are 100 percent committed to the sanctity of life. Many candidates claim to be pro-life to get elected, and then reject the cause when the campaign is over. No more can we overlook such actions! We must have candidates who actively support pro-life policies. We must have judges who support the U.S, Constitution, not create new policies as the U.S. Supreme Court did in Roe v. Wade.

Regardless of what we may think or hope, there is a high price to be paid for extinguishing the lives of our precious children. Abortion is a form of wicked population control that Creator God will judge. Once again, we must do all in our power to bring legalized abortion, and any tolerance of it, to an end at all costs.

Continue, weary workers, to support your pro-life organizations with prayer and financial help. And may we all, with God's help and with renewed dedication, seek to end the horror of abortion in America.
