Prayers for Life
A few weeks ago I asked someone if he would like to become involved in the Monthly Call for Life at http://www.marchtogether.com.
He said he wasn't into activism. I asked if he was proLife and he said he definately was. I then asked how he thought abortion would be made illegal if he didn't do anything about it. He replied that he prays about it. I said that prayer alone would not be what changes the abortion laws and asked what is he praying for. He said he was praying for proLife judges to be installed into the Supreme Court so that they would change the law.
Folks, we have been praying that prayer for 32 years without results. At one time we had 7 of 9 justices who were put in place by conservative presidents. The problem is, when they get there they change their minds about how they really feel about important moral issues like abortion, personal property rights, homosexuality and more. We have seen our Supreme Court turn this country into a judicial dictatorship. Laws have been created oppressing Americans like never before.
Just ask the people who are losing their homes just to have them replaced with a casino or ice cream parlor. Eminent domain, yeah, right.
And all under 7, so-called "conservatives", out of 9 justices.
If you ask me, why would you pray for something like this anyway? I'm sorry to say it this way, but why would you pray for someone else to do something that you should do? We are the ones who should be speaking out against abortion and demanding that it end. Electing individuals who change their minds when they get into office has been the norm.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we shouldn't have efforts to make sure that conservative proLife representives get elected. I'm saying we should speak out against abortion until it is over. We can't take a break when a conservative gets elected. We can't take a break until abortion is no more in the United States. I know there's the rest of the world still to deal with, but let's deal with America first okay?
Every proLife person needs to do more than donate to a cause. We need to do more than pray. We need to do more than vote and count on someone else to change the law.
You and I need to speak up, over and over, getting louder and louder until it is over in America. No matter what you already do, we need our voices to unite once a month at http://www.marchtogether.com.
Over 4,000 people die a day due to abortion.
They need your time
They need your dedication
They need you to believe that we will end abortion and to help us do it by joining the Monthy Call for Life
They need your voices and your keyboards
And yes, they also need your votes and your continued efforts in whatever proLife programs you are currently involved with.
Every month we will call and/or email our representatives until we clog their switchboards and their email boxes. Then if they still don't stop we will go to once a week and so on.
Many times in my life people have said that I was an idealist, that I dream too much and don't focus enough on reality. There is nothing more real than a person dying every 24 seconds in America due to abortion.
There are a lot of people who laugh at the idea of us changing the abortion laws. Comments I hear are:
> yeah right
> don't think so
> that'll never happen (just got this one again a few days ago)
> you're dreaming
> do you really thing you can change the law just by calling once a month?
Believe me, there are a lot more.
The feedback I get from most proLifers though is positive. Many are encouraged by an active movement like the Call for Life and thousands have already checked out the project on the web site.
I'm putting out the call for proLifers around the world to help us end abortion in the United States. I'm asking all people who want abortion to end to join us. Once a month, a few minutes of your time is all we ask.
I pray for all proLife people to join us next Friday, the 2nd, and every first Friday after that until we have won this battle.
