Jan. 22 will mark the 31st anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade
decision. It is a gloomy anniversary. What can our nation say about
31 years of abortion on demand? Is there any regret for the 43
million aborted children? How many potential scientists, doctors,
lawyers, teachers and priests were aborted? Is there any regret
over the countless women wounded, killed and assaulted in the
abortion mills?

Is there any regret for the 43 million aborted children? How many potential scientists, doctors, lawyers, teachers and priests were aborted? Is there any regret over the countless women wounded, killed and assaulted in the abortion mills?
How will most people remember this anniversary? Many will attend the March for Life in Washington, D.C. My wife and I and our two children will make the trip to Washington to stand up for life. We want our government to witness the horrors of abortion. To let them know that legalized abortion is unacceptable in a nation founded on certain inalienable rights: LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I wonder if the march will receive any press this year? Every year, the story is rarely talked about in the mainstream media, even though it is one of the biggest marches in Washington. For those who have never spoken out against abortion, I ask that they begin to attend pro-life events and support pro-life groups such as pregnancy crisis centers. All it takes for evil to succeed is for the good to do nothing.
Will our nation endure another 31 years of slaughtering the innocent? I pray it will not. How can we continue to sleep at night with 4,000 children dying every day? Many say that abortion is no longer a relevant issue. Even though many years have past since Roe vs. Wade, abortion is a new tragedy because the babies who die today never died before.
