On the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that made abortion a constitutional right in the United States. But God. Almost 50 years later, the Supreme Court would hand down another ruling that would overturn this horrible precedent and example of bad law, which was based on fraudulent circumstances. Jane Roe, whose real name was Norma McCorvey, ended up renouncing her role in the case and becoming a pro-life activist. She later died of a broken heart over the carnage that the ruling had brought to this nation.
Very few people know the actual numbers of babies who have been killed by the regressive, barbaric act of abortion. Far too many women have been sold the lie of feminism and “reproductive healthcare” as the path to freedom and power as a woman. Your power does not lie in the ability to be like a man. Your power does not lie in having the ability to end the life of an innocent child – one that was conceived and formed by God in your womb – the very thing that sets us apart from men. Abortion is not progressive. It is regressive, like ancient times when they killed the children they didn’t want.
You see, God made women very special and not in any way inferior to men. This is the lie of feminism: God made us less than men, therefore we must fix God’s mistake. If we do not have to give birth, then we can be equal to (or better than) men. Therefore, abortion is the vehicle that enables our equity and equality with men. But this sickening lie convinces women to give up the very intrinsic, unique essence of womanhood, which God so highly values. It is a deception of the evil one who hates all mankind, and especially hates women and children because they are what allow mankind to flourish. Do not believe his lies.
Since 1973, more than 63,000,000 babies have been killed by abortion. These could have been the next generation of pastors, teachers, engineers, scientists, moms, and dads, sisters, brothers, friends. Heart-wrenchingly, we will never know these human beings who could have been.
“In January 2024, Worldometer, a live statistics website, reported that 44 million elective abortions were performed [worldwide] in the year 2022, thereby making abortion the leading cause of human death.” – Americans United for Life website
How can we as a society stand by and watch as silent genocide of the unborn continues?
The overturning of Roe v. Wade did not end abortion. As many pro-death advocates would like us to believe, abortions have not decreased or been prevented since the new precedent. The ruling only gave the power back to the states to decide for themselves how to legislate abortion. The federal government said there is no constitutional right to abortion, but the laws now vary state to state. If you are in a state that allows abortion, I urge you to be a voice for abolishment. Be a voice for women. Help women to see their worth is in their creation by a loving Father who made them exactly the way He intended, and that He made no mistake. Help promote life in all areas of society. In all your spheres of influence. Help a new mom out, donate to a pro-life pregnancy center, bring meals to a foster family. Treat others with the respect and dignity that all people made in God’s image deserve. Write your congressmen and women. Make your voice heard. Do not be afraid to speak up for these voiceless babies. This is not a blame game on women who have chosen abortion. They need help too. We’ve all been lied to for decades and we need to repent of the sin of abortion, and heal and stand firm in the fight for life.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
Even more so now, as we enter a new season of political leadership in America, we need to learn what is true, separate fact from fiction, and be willing to speak up for what is right. I can not stand before God or look my children in the eye and tell them that abortion is ok in any circumstance. It is a scourge on our nation and the world, and I ask that we all pray for legal abortion to end in America so we can set the standard for the world.
