Today is the 35th anniversary of the most tragic decision from the United States supreme court in most of our lifetimes-the Roe v Wade decision that "legalized" abortion throughout the United States.
Of course, President Bush did not attend the Right To Life march to the supreme court. But he did address the crowd by audio hook up.
And, I will give credit to the former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee as he spoke to the Georgia Right To Life group today.
As of today, approximately 45 to 47 million potential Americans have been aborted.
I wonder if a woman aborted the next Einstein. Or maybe a scientist who could have found a cure for cancer. Maybe a diplomat that could have negotiated a lasting peace in the Middle East. Or in an inner-city, gang-infested neighborhood here in the United States.
We will never know. But, there is positive news on this front.
According to an article in today's Los Angeles Times http://latimes.com, young people are the next generation on the front lines of ending abortion on demand.
Also, according to a study by the Guttmacher institute, the number of abortions are down to the lowest numbers since 1976.
But, there are still over one million unfettered abortions in the United States. And that is about one million too many.
A sidebar. In an article in National Review http://nationalreview.com by Paul Kengor, it chronicles how former president Ronald Reagan came to such a strong pro-life view. And, as noted here many times, it is the direct result of legislation he signed in 1967 that liberalized California's abortion laws. In "Reagan's Darkest Hour", Mr. Kengor also reminds us that Mr. Reagan edited a book and wrote extensively on abortion, right before the 1984 presidential election. And, that was to the chagrin of many more moderate advisers.
Let us hope that this abomination ends soon. And pray that a future supreme court will recognize the error of their ways and overturn Roe v Wade.
