Today marks the 35th Anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision, which legalized abortion here in the United States. Since this tragic ruling, it is estimated that an abortion happens every 24 seconds in our country. In addition, this ruling has been the backbone for groups and movements, like N.O. W. and Planned Parenthood, to get legal approval and federal funding in exercising rallies and abortion banks in an effort to raise support for the murder of innocent babies.
Thus, we have seen a murder spree occur, in our time, that can only be paralleled to the child murders that occurred under Pharaoh (Exodus 1:22) and King Herod (Matthew 2:16). And many children, that possibly could have been our leaders of tomorrow, have had their opportunity taken away based on a ruling founded solely in selfishness and deceit. Quite simply, the legalized murder of our children is proof that the heart of man can truly be "wicked and deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9). And we, as Christians, need not be passive when it comes to the manslaughter of the next generation.
This is why I would like to encourage you to make your voice known today that we, as Christians, will not stand for this blatant disregard of God's Word. Whether you choose to take sometime and pray for the parents who are considering abortion, talk with your own kids, family members, friends, and co-workers, or will attend an anti-abortion church rally tonight (I will be attending one at Glendale Baptist Church in Miami), do not let this day go by without encouraging others (as well as ourselves) in the evils that this decision has brought--not only to our country--but to our world as well.
