40 Years of Roe ... 40 Years Too Many!
By Jacki Ragan
The holidays are
behind us–I hope you had a blessed Christmas–but it is now time to
roll up our sleeves and get back to work ... and believe me, there
is much work to be done!
January 22, 2013, marks 40 years of Roe v.
Wade. 40 years of abortion on demand. 40 years and 55.5 million
lives lost and at least that many lives wounded. 40 years too many!
We have to work smart. The smarter you and I
work, the more babies we save. Our hearts have been pierced by their
plight and we know that we have to be the voice for those unable to
speak. We have to do everything we can. Not everything, just
everything we can. There are five simple things to begin with:
Make sure you are
a member of NRLC (a membership donation of $16 or more per year
will also include a subscription to National Right to Life
News!), your state organization, and your local chapter.
Attend meetings if you can, but at the very, very least, be a
financial supporter, attend major functions, and know what is
going on within your local community. You can do so by going to
www.nrlc.org/donate.html.
Contact the pastor in your church and ask
about putting inserts in the church bulletin. (The order form is
found on page 23.) These inserts are inexpensive and
educational. Including them in local pro-life churches not only
will help spread the message that lives are being destroyed in
massive numbers, it will also offer positive steps that everyone
can take to help protect innocent human life. Maybe go a step
further and contact OTHER pro-life churches in your community!
Attend your state or the national March for
Life this January. Help us peacefully protest 40 years of
killing innocent human life. Stand up and be counted ... help
make a difference!
Circulate a petition and sign one yourself!
Visit
www.40yearstoomany.com and print out a free copy. Ask your
pro-life friends and family to also sign. Help make the biggest
impact possible with this petition, which also appears on page
seven of this edition.
Educate yourself. Nothing is more powerful
than an educated pro-lifer. For starters take a few minutes and
just read the back of the church bulletin insert. Know the facts
and then, should the question arise, you can answer it with
confidence and maybe make a real difference. To dig a little
deeper into the educational route, visit
www.nrlc.org, or contact us
and we will be happy to put a packet together and send to you!
Subscribe to National Right to Life News
Today (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org).
This thorough source of pro-life information can be sent
directly to your e-mail inbox every Monday through Saturday.
The bottom line? Do something. Some people are
almost paralyzed by the thought that they have to devote so many
hours per week. That is not so. It is the individual contribution of
many thousands of people that makes our Movement work so
effectively. So, get active in your local chapter. Help promote the
right to life cause in your community, among your friends and
family, and in your church.
Decide today to do something and I can
almost promise you that you won’t regret it. How can I confidently
make that assurance?
You will have the privilege of speaking out on
behalf of God’s most innocent children who have been sentenced to
death—no trial, no jury—just an unjust, unfair, inhumane death. You
will also be helping the moms who, for whatever reason, feel that
abortion is their “only way out.”
40 years of Roe v. Wade, 40 years of
abortion on demand, 40 years of taking innocent human lives and
destroying families, 40 years too many. |
