"Pray without ceasing." - Thessalonians 5:17
"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts-- a child--as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters" and, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."
Mother Theresa 2/25/294
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I am so saddened by all of the children that never had a chance to live the lives that God gave them. My heart is saddened for those that chose to abort their babies. For whatever reason they will never know the joy that their precious child would bring to their lives. Their child will never know the fulfillment that God had intended for their lives. I think that we need to pray that those that abort their babies know that our Glorious Lord loves them and the He is all forgiving. Let us also hope and pray that their lives are healed, and that someday they will welcome the greatest gift God gives us.
I marvel at what takes place during pregnancy and have always been in awe of newborn babies. To carry a child and give birth was a truly a miraculous experience for me and my husband. I am so thankful for my precious children and felt such a deep sense of love from the moment I knew I was pregnant. The joy and love that I have received from them has grown stronger over the years. I am very proud that they are defenders of life.
My youngest daughter Lo is headed to the Right to Life March in Washington D.C. I am so proud of her dedication to the Students For Life Movement. I have hope when I see and hear of young people who still believe in the sanctity of life. Let us all pray that this movement continue to grow in the hearts of the youth in our country.
