Let Us Mourn - 32 years of Death

In the United States, over 45 million pre-born boys and girls have been killed since the Jan. 22, 1973 Supreme Court Decision that legalized abortion. Each year, nearly 20,000 abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy.

• Our most recent member, Stacy at Media Soul, has published a touching and appropriate song she wrote about the horrors of abortion in our land. Click here to listen.


• Tulip Girl remembers the women killed by legal abortion. "I remember when 17 y/o Latachie Veal died in 1991. We were the same age. She died at the hands of Dr. Robert Crist in Houston--the same abortionist who serviced one of the clinics in San Antonio where I lived."


• Emily from After Abortion is in D.C. with Silent no More, breaking the silence.


• La Shawn Barber, blogging about this infamous anniversary, writes, "... The U.S. Supreme Court held that women have a right to privacy to kill their unborn children...." She also has a round-up of others blogging about this day.


• LifeSteward - After all the arguments, there is really only one issue worthy: the over 46 million abortions that have occured in the United States since Roe constitute nothing less than a Holocaust of the Unborn.


• Jeff at ProverbsDaily has posted a series on the sanctity of human life starting with The Ugly Truth (of abortion). Today he publishes Part 6, the positive news of Pro-Life Miracle Stories.


• Little Bit Tired - On this date in 1973 this nation, America, the best hope of freedom and equality in the history of the world, began the process of allowing 46 million people to be legally murdered.... As a nation we need to repent (and not just for abortion).


• Joshua Claybourn In the Agora writes, "People involved with punditry can get tired of the endless focus on abortion. But for those, like me, who see the act as the taking of an innocent human life, there can be little else that precedes it in significance."


• Commonwealth Conservative - I’m going to go hug my two children now.


• Stand-up and Walk - I've been mulling around on something to write on today... and have not come up with anything that represented my heart on the tragedy of this day.... But, I pray right now for women everywhere who are contemplating using their "right."


• Scattershot Direct - Bloody anniversary ... We've all lost so many to abortion.


• My Domestic Church - While remembering Roe V. Wade Day, it might be appropriate to remember some of the survivors of abortion. Link here and here.


• Eric Seymour In the Agora - As Sanctity of Human Life Week draws to a close, I have been reflecting a lot on pro-life issues. One thought that I keep returning to is how much I admire pro-life women. These women give their time and energy not only to take a public stand against abortion, but also to volunteer as peer counselors and other staff at crisis pregnancy centers. In addition to the usual consequences of involving oneself in a controversial issue, they risk scorn and ridicule from self-appointed guardians of "women's rights."


• Standing in the Trenches - Saturday, January 22, 2005 - The Death of the Innocents: 32 Years


• Proverbial Wife - The masses who succeeded in securing abortion rights for the nation would not have existed if their own parents had believed so strongly in so-called "choice." Had the murder of the unborn been legalized one generation earlier, numerous defenders of reproductive freedom wouldn't have had any voice at all. I wonder if they ever think about it that way...


• Spokane Rock for Life - I pray that we may see clearly the horror that goes on right under our nose on a daily basis. God give us strength to fight this genocide.


• Adrian Warnock - Any decent person would put themselves out and even at risk of physical injury when the benefit is to spare even a strangers life. How then is it that society has become so warped that women feel under pressure to take the lives of their own unborn children? ... Abortion kills. We want it to stop.


• Anywhere but Here - 32 years of legalized murder


• A Likely Choice - Rae has something in the works. She has been "thinking and stewing and writing".


• Exultate Justi - ... the shadow continues to spread over our land - blessed by many of those who have pledged to "first, do no harm", and sheltered by our own government.


• jivinjehoshaphat - We should also remember that the Supreme Court decided Doe v. Bolton on the same day 32 years ago.... My guess is the large majority of our country has no clue about Doe v. Bolton and how that ruling effects Roe v. Wade and abortion especially when we have the AP using completely inaccurate polling questions. Interested? Read more.
