The New Abolitionist Movement

Since the decision we know as Roe vs. Wade was passed down by the Supreme Court in 1973 there have been over 40 million babies aborted in the United States. This isn't the first time the Supreme Court has gotten it wrong. In 1857 they denied an African slave his constitutional rights, determining he was not a person, but property bought and paid for and therefore undeserving of protection under the constitution. When we think about that sort of thing today we consider it reprehensible! We ask, "How could anyone have let this sort of thing go on?" Perhaps 50 years from now they will ask the same thing about us.
What's worse? The complacency our forefathers showed in those days toward slavery or our own indifference today toward the plight of the unborn? Every day in America innocent, defenseless babies are literally cut into pieces and then suctioned piece by piece out of their mother's womb in the name of convenience! What will we do about this madness?
I want to be a part of a new abolitionist movement that will see abortion end in American in our life time! I want to make a difference and speak out for those who have no voice! I will raise my voice in protest, I will support our local pregnancy center with my money and my volunteerism, I will reach out with compassion to women in crises and I will never cast my vote for ANY political candidate who isn't pro life!
