37 years later

On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade, determined that abortion is a “right in the concept of personal ‘liberty’ embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause; or in personal, marital, familial, and sexual privacy said to be protected by the Bill of Rights or its penumbras.” In the 37 years since Roe, 50 million unborn children have been killed in their mother’s womb–more than a 9/11 massacre for 13,514 straight days.

Thanks for sharing. It is such a divisive issue, but one that is worth discussing. Have you heard about this: http://james127.blogspot.com/2009/12/racism-and-abortion.html?

It angers me and breaks my heart. I pray that the church be a voice for truth, justice, and action with this issue.
