34 years and finally some hope

34 years ago was the Roe v. Wade decision that Americans can mercilessly kill innocent, defenceless, young American babies for no reason what-so-ever. Today, I'm spending the day in fasting and prayer for the end to all of this non-sense.

Over the past week, I went to an excellent rally on the courthouse steps here in Madison County to which about 75 people showed up. Also, in Birmingham there was a rally and march with thousands of people. Quietly and peacefully walking through the streets past the Summit (if you remember, that was the abortion mill that was forced to close this past year because of malpractice). There are only 2 abortion mills left in Birmingham, down from 7 over the past 15 years. Praise God! One of those is currently on probation. The walk also took us past one of the abortion mills which wasn't closed, this location is the only place with hecklers and pro-abortion signs. Both places that do abortions in Birmingham were closed for the day. I was very satisfied with being a part of the walk. There were even quite a few doctors walking in their smocks in support, many of them had the letters OB and GYN embroidered near their name. The walk was led by young people carring a casket of an aborted baby followed by women who have decided to be silent no more. Across the country many others will be showing their support today as well as this past weekend. in D.C. and San Francisco hundreds of thousands will be walking together.

This year, there is hope. As we walk, pray, and fast, please remember the cases currently going on in the Supreme Court. Gonzales v. Carhart and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood were heard on Nov. 8th and have not yet been decided. These cases will hopefully get rid of the absolutely horrible practice of partial-birth abortion. There is also another case out there on the same grounds, but has not yet been heard.

This week, stop by YouTube to watch some excellent videos. These videos were created by a 19 year-old girl, whose mother was pregnant at 19 and single and and everyone around her telling her to have an abortion. She fought society and made her own choice to give her baby the gift of life. YouTube.com
