Beautiful and precious.
Sweet and innocent.
Tender and lovely.
Today is the 39th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.
Since that time, an estimated 52 million babies have been aborted.

Please join me in praying for those who seek healing from the pain of abortion.
"To be silent is to be complicit. It is to tell our children and grandchildren that we are as guilty as those Germans who knew, and were silent. Of course our pews are filled with the guilty. The same is true of every sin we preach against. Of course the grace of God in Christ trumps even this great evil. But the same Jesus who died for our sins calls on us to suffer the children to come unto Him. When we are silent, when we treat abortion as a mere social problem, a mere political issue, we expose our complicity. So preach faithfully. Proclaim not the sanctity of life, but the holiness of God, whose image the least of these bear. Call for repentance from the pulpit God placed under your care. Preach the same good news that He preached, that the captive are to be set free, that those marching toward death are to be rescued. Preach, and take the heat. For Jesus says such will make you blessed. Walk by faith, and preach by faith, in season and out of season."

You are so right - if we don't speak up, we are complicit. Those who think "I don't agree with it, but I won't force my beliefs on others" are kidding themselves. Our government is already "forcing" it's beliefs in the culture of death upon us. As a recent example, the "Catholic" director of Health and Human Services is forcing our religious organizations to pay for elective prescriptions and procedures that are directly contrary to our right to practice our religion. Pray, speak out and most importantly, vote your conscience.
