Reflections during 40 Days For Life
Saturday was our first experience of being on the “front lines” in the struggle to save America’s unborn. In conjunction with the national 40 Days For Life Campaign, we participated in our church’s prayer vigil in front of an abortion clinic.
Though always opposed to abortion, it is only within the last two years that we have become actively involved in the pro-life movement. The unlikely overturning of Roe v Wade appeared to be the only hope. Our involvement was limited to voting for pro-life candidates and offering prayers for their success.
It was Catholic cable station EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) that led us beyond passive support for the pro-life cause into active involvement. Like millions of Americans opposed to abortion, on principle, we had never actually taken the time to contemplate the horrible realities of what happens during an abortion. We never realized the extent of the physical and psychological damage often inflicted upon women who have undergone an abortion. Never understood the depth of sorrow experienced by men who have lost children to abortion. Never truly reflected upon what an abomination the dismembering of a screaming infant must be to the loving God who bestows life as the greatest of gifts. Never stopped to think about what an affront a national policy of abortion on demand must be to the gracious God Who has bestowed so many blessings upon our country.
And more importantly we were not aware of the success being achieved by thousands of pro-life activists combating the evil plague of abortion, saving One Baby At A Time.

NOW feigns “outrage” over abortion and Obamacare
“Wake Up, Washington! Abortion Is Health Care” -Erin Matson, NOW Action Vice President
Numerous reports abound citing rage on the distant left over President Obama’s alleged moderation on the final version of his “healthcare reform” bill. No “public option”, “opt out” clauses, backroom deals with the satanic health insurance industry and, most laughably, no provisions for abortion.
There are people who are apparently letting their guard down and luxuriating in a long sigh of relief. He’s listening to us. It won’t be as bad as everyone thought. Common sense and responsible government prevails.
Such wishful thinking is, well, foolish. Based upon Barack Obama’s rhetoric and associations during his entire career, the resumes of his cabinet members and “czars”, the radical nature of the democratic leadership and the extremist fringe groups they are beholding to, anyone who succumbs to complacent self delusion about what will come out of Washington on healthcare just ain’t thinkin’ right.
