RIGHT TO LIFE

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.  Jeremiah 1:5a

Since the Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973, there has been a call by many people to overturn this decision, which allows for the abortion of an unborn baby.  Each year people from all walks of life across the nation assemble to draw attention to this atrocity,  Some gather in small towns and villages while thousands join together in Washington D.C. to march in representation of the unborn. 

For several years now, a large group from Lenawee County begins by meeting in a local church to hear a special speaker.  During this time, local government officials are introduced who support life.  It is great to know that our U.S. Congressman, State Senator and State Representative all are 100% pro-life.  After the service at the church, everyone assembles outside and marches to the Lenawee County Courthouse.  There, further comments are made by various dignitaries along with pledges, special music and prayer.

Right To Life March
It is wonderful to see so many being a voice for the unborn.,  Because of what is being done, we are seeing a decrease in abortion clinics and in the effect of Planned Parenthood.  Our local organizations such as Care Pregnancy Center are doing effective work with unwed mothers.  At yesterday's rally the Executivc Director of the CPC stated that this past year any pregnant woman who had a 3D ultrasound did not proceed with an abortion.  The CPC also served over 1600 people this past year.  Another thing that was noted had to do with the younger generation being more pro-life than has been in the past.  Good things are happening for the unborn, but the battle will continue until the US Supreme Court decision is reversed.  Please continue to pray to this end.

Blessings and Encouragement,

Paul, Gail, Patsy and Penny
