January 22 marked yet another anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. The legacy of that decision is a startling number: 58,586,256 million abortions.
Shame, shame, shame on America.
Over 58 million lives that were not led.
58 million lives of joy and promise, sorrow and triumph, happiness and pain—but life in its fullness as God intended it to be led.
We realize that many of the women who had abortions over the last 40 years regret their decisions and that the recollection of that decision is painful. We do not wish to cause pain or to judge, lest we be judged.
But we do know this has been terribly, terribly wrong, and we quote Jefferson when he said “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”
We sorrow over the 58 million lives individual lives not lived.
We also grieve the collective de-valuing of human life that has been the result of years of abortion on demand. And, with Jefferson, we tremble for our nation.
