Sanctity of Life 2008


This year is the 35th anniversary of the Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions that mark the legalization of abortion in America. One logical consequence of these bad Supreme Court decisions is that a new industry would be spawned. That, indeed, has become the case as the abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, swelled during these 35 years. Imagine running a business that seeks to profit from the killing of one of the most defenseless members of our civilization – a child in the womb. Not only does abortion centers like Planned Parenthood intend to profit from this “service,” they also happily welcome tax revenue confiscated from the American public who is provided absolutely no choice when their hard-earned public funds are sought by these merchants of death.

Ironically, Planned Parenthood leadership and pro-abortion politicians are fond of calling articles like mine and those who gather and pray at abortion centers “extremist.” This is their language that frequently turns up in editorials and opinion columns. They are the ones killing babies, but we’re the extremists. I don’t get it.

So for anyone who wants to engage in the “extremist” act of opposing abortion and supporting life, here are a couple of website resources to get you going: Be a Voice (an outreach of Focus on the Family) and the American Life League (an outreach of the Catholic Church). Both provide some sobering facts about abortion, euthanasia, and other goals of the culture of death. Both provide some useful resources that anyone can use to oppose these debilitating atrocities.

Above all, pray that the Spirit of our dear Lord will convict those engaging in these atrocities of their sin and cause them to turn to our precious Savior in repentance.
