Dear Friend:
The hashtag #ToGodbetheGlory is trending on Twitter today – and for good reason!
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe to uphold the MS abortion and return the issue of abortion to the states is the most consequential legal ruling of our lifetime.
It was Thomas Jefferson who once observed, “God is just” and “His justice cannot sleep forever.”
After nearly a half-century and over 60 million deaths, the horrifying and tragic ruling of Roe has finally been reversed. It was bad law then – and a majority of the Supreme Court has affirmed it is bad law now. No court has the right to deprive a child of the right to live. We celebrate this milestone today and applaud the six justices who have courageously and correctly interpreted the United States Constitution.
This is a day to first and foremost give thanks to God. It’s also a day to give thanks to the tens of millions who have marched in the snow and cold on the anniversary of Roe these last fifty years as faithful witnesses to the value of human life. It’s a day, as well, to give thanks to those who have committed their lives and their resources to serving mothers and protecting innocent children.
We remain dedicated to fostering and furthering a culture of life, which recognizes the dignity of each and every person. This should not be a political cause of only a few – but the cause of all who care about and support the preservation and protection of human rights.
On a related note, I wanted to alert you to an exciting campaign Focus on the Family is launching tonight on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News television program. For the next two weeks, we’ll be running advertisements celebrating both the beauty and fragility of life. For those who might be wondering, we tried to run the spot on CNN, too, but they deemed it too controversial. Imagine – life is too controversial!
I wanted to give you a sneak peek:
Isn’t that powerful? The campaign to protect and preserve life continues. Abortion will still remain legal and all too common in almost half of the states. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, when it comes to abortion, this is not the end. It may not even be the beginning of the end. But it is the end of the beginning.
Please join me in giving thanks to the Lord and to the millions who have worked towards this day. Now is not the time to slow down. We need to redouble our efforts. With the abortion decision now in the hands of the states, we must continue to share the truth about life in the womb.
It takes just $60 to help save a baby from abortion through our Option Ultrasound program that equips local pregnancy medical centers with equipment and training to provide free ultrasounds to mothers considering abortion. And now, through a Matching Opportunity, your gift will go twice as far to save lives! Double your $60 gift ... it’s a matter of life or death.
There will be more moms to help and more babies to save in the months and years to come. To God be the glory, indeed!
To God be the glory, indeed!
Yours in Christ – for life!
