Two things I'll do today to commemorate the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade SCOTUS decision.
First, link to Mark Shea who speaks from his heart and for me:
The right to life remains the fundamental issue contested in our culture. God defend children from the scourge of abortion and God forgive us for enshrining a right to murder at the heart of our civilization.
May Roe v. Wade and all its evils be blotted out someday and this tragic choice to find happiness through murder be finally repented just as definitively as the choice to find prosperity through slavery was.
He's got a video over there detailing why some of us fight for this issue. Go and watch.
The second thing I'll do is post this brutally honest picture that speaks for many of us:
God bless her bluntness.
God give more of us courage to stand up for the unborn, for the dignity of every human life.
“The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right -- it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society.”
~Pope Benedict XVI
