The day is almost over. It will be at least 4 years until a day of commemoration like this will come again. I've read over and over lately that the doom and gloom I feel is misplaced. With all that is going on, there are much bigger bailouts to fry.
I truly want to believe this. That we can hope to at least hold on to the status quo. Just as stronger pro-life legislation has failed to pass in some states -- mostly due to wild accusations of possible consequences of such legislation by pro-abortion forces -- we can still call upon a weary electorate to not allow the pendulum to swing the other way.
But with a pro-abortion president, a pro-abortion Hollywood and news media, a pro-abortion atmosphere at the majority of our nation's universities, and Christian churches across the land that either promote or turn a blind eye to the tragedy of abortion -- and the deep pockets they all appear to have -- I must say my spirits are very low.
However, we are still the majority. The number of abortions performed on younger women continues to decline. And I know that the message of pro-life feminism -- its belief in not only the sanctity of human life, but that abortion ultimately harms women and does not advance equality or freedom, but instead violently oppresses a class of pre-born people -- is reaching the hearts and minds of more and more people each day.
We must lay the groundwork in the belief systems of our children. Embolden them to respectfully challenge those who would attack those beliefs. And not allow the clear truth to be obscured by euphemisms and twisted facts.
With a heavy heart I pray for our nation, and those who will never know her glory because of those who have managed to pervert her ideal of the right to life. May God have mercy on us all as this new administration threatens everything we have fought so hard for.
We must fight on.
