We Will Not Forget

Today my news feed on Facebook is filled with stati like these:
"Today January 22, 2011 marks the 38th anniversary of Roe V. Wade. This decision has caused over 53,000,000 innocent human beings to lose their lives to voluntary pregnancy terminations (abortions). Today I am changing my status for life, to stand in unity with other pro-lifers against this horrible tragedy. Stand with me for life, copy and paste this status for one hour today."
"Every baby should have the same chance that their parent's were given. Every baby should have a chance to love and be loved......period."
"Today we remember the 50 million or so children who, under the guise of a "right-to-privacy," were stripped of their right to life. Proud to be pro-life."
"‎Since 1973, 1/3 of my generation has been killed by the slaughter of abortion. My classmates, my friends, my generation. I will not allow future generations to suffer this fate in the name of convenience. I will not be silent, I will not forget, I will not compromise."



My friends and I mourn for our generation. First for the innocents who were killed. Think about how often you feel alone, wish you had someone to talk to. What if the person who should have been there for you was one killed by abortion? What if the person who was to find the cure for breast cancer was aborted? And the person who would discover life on another planet? The next great musician? The people who died would have been my classmates, my friends, my neighbors, my coworkers.
But today is also a day to pray for the mothers, fathers and others involved in this decision. It could not have been an easy decision to abort their baby. I'm sure their lives haven't gotten easier since either. So pray that they may be able to find healing, forgiveness, and peace.
