Our family, along with several other homeschooling families stood on the side of a busy road to help increase the awareness of the evil of abortion. We stood quietly on the roadside holding signs that say "Abortion kills Children," or "Face it, Abortion Kills." My children have gone to these peaceful prayer rallies many times. While they don't understand what abortion truly is (how do you explain to a 4 year old that some women will kill their own babies?!) they know that we are praying that all babies will have the opportunity to be born healthy and happy.
My husband V. even made the paper! Here is what he said in the article: "People like my son and [fellow demonstrator] J.'s brother, who died two weeks ago with Down’s Syndrome, even though they have birth defects, add value to the world. The pro-life movement isn't about taking away a woman's right to choose, it's about respecting all life and understanding that everyone has value as a human being. Sometimes things come into your life that are difficult but in reality are blessings."
I pray that as people drive by and see the faces of these precious children they will realize the horrific act of killing unborn babies. Perhaps one of the over 1 million babies that were killed this past year would have been the one to discover the cure for autism. Perhaps one of those children would have been your child or grandchild's spouse, or perhaps the child would have been a clerk in your grocery store. It really doesn't matter what these children would have accomplished because each one is a child of God. Each soul has a right to dignity, and a right to life.
Please pray that there will be an end to abortion.
