Friend,

“Joy to the world.” “All is calm.” “Peace on Earth.” So the songs proclaim at this time of year.

It isn’t always easy to live those sentiments, especially during the nerve-wracking final days of a critical election when so much is at stake. With your help, our team is working tirelessly to reach every pro-life voter in Georgia. Eventually there will come a time when all the doors have been knocked and all the votes submitted, and then the toughest part: waiting and having faith. I know I will be praying, and I’m sure you will too.

But if there’s anything pro-life advocates know, it’s that the miraculous is commonplace and nothing is impossible. Time and time again we’ve been told, “That won’t work; you can’t do that.” In a way, the naysayers don’t realize how right they are. By ourselves, we can’t – but we know the One who turns “can’t” into can.

In the dead of winter, billions of believers worldwide celebrate profoundly pro-life holidays. In one case we see that in dire situations, God takes a little bit of whatever we have that is good and multiplies it beyond our dreams; in another, the idea that love incarnate came and dwelled with us in the form of an innocent, helpless baby, and that even the royalty of the world yielded to it in wonder and awe.

I believe our faith has the power to effect a similar transformation that is so needed in our world today.

Some interesting news: You may have read about or seen that an exceptionally rare “Christmas star” was visible over the southwest horizon, just after sunset on December 21, when two planets aligned for the first time in almost eight centuries.

In this unusually turbulent year, it is comforting to be reminded that God is still in charge of everything, is still close to us, and seeks to make His presence known.

It’s also a fitting metaphor for where we stand as a movement. After a very long, dark half-century since Roe v. Wade, we can finally see a great light approaching. Life is winning! Opportunities of the kind we have right now are uncommon and precious (though fortunately, not quite 800 years-rare).

Your efforts, along with those of countless other laborers over the decades, have made the stars align for the pro-life movement, so to speak. We must not and will not let this chance pass us by – yet we also know that our hope of ultimate victory is not found in mere human power.

My friend, thank you for keeping the faith. God bless you for sharing your bright light of truth and love for unborn children and their mothers. And from all of us at Susan B. Anthony List, may you experience abiding peace and joy during this holy season.

For LIFE,

Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List
