So, yesterday was the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The 38th anniversary of America's legalization of murder. This 'right' was a huge success for feminists in the 70's, and it gave men the go ahead to sleep with whomever they want and not have to deal with consequences of their actions. Well some say that the abortion is dealing with it. Others say that it is the womens choice, and rights. Well what about the baby's choice? The baby's rights?
Since 1987 people have been gathering on the anniversary of Roe V. Wade (January) and Respect Life Sunday (October) for Life Chains all over the United States. Letting people know that there are people who value human life in it's most innocent form and unable to speak up for its self. While they are in utero.
Since I was a child I have going to Life Chains with my family, and today I was able to participate in such an event once again. For one hour I held a sign, hoping that my message would get across to the motorist going to and from. It is a silent vigil, with prayers and songs on the back of the sign for you to read and hum. If people make gestures or comments we just smile and continue with our vigil. Usually there are many people that are unhappy with this for of public protesting, they make it known by calling out, gestures, and honking their horn. But Today was different. For one hour there were thumbs up. Short horn honks with smiles and nods. Even three big rigs honked and gave positive signs. This was one of the most positive life chains that I have ever been to and it just made my heart sing.
People were hearing us, whether it was for good of bad. It makes people think and ask questions. It makes them have to explain things to their kids. It shows that there are people out there that do care for human life and are willing to stand up and to let people know.
I am proud to be part of such a community that values one so dear. The Unborn. I am proud to say that I choose life and that abortion is wrong. I am proud to stand up for what I believe and that there are others like me who will also stand up. I will continue to fight for the innocent, for the unborn, for the human life that lives inside and cannot speak for it's self.
