In the Revolutionary War there were 4,435 deaths. In World War I there were 116,708 deaths. In World War II there were 407,316 deaths. In Korea there were 25,604 deaths. In Vietnam there were 58,168 deaths. In the war against abortion, 38 million deaths are accounted for in the US alone since 1978. An average of 1.3 million babies are aborted yearly. This is truly an epidemic. We are facing some of the most dire times the world has ever faced in its history. Mass genocide is going on in our country daily, and most of us don't even give it a second thought during our day. We enjoy our lives and never stop to think about the millions that won't have a life to enjoy in the first place.

Today was a big day for those of us that happen to be pro-life. Partial Birth Abortion, or murder, as I like to call it, has been deemed illegal today. I consider this to be a major victory toward the ultimate Roe v. Wade overturn. I have a lot of hope that it will someday occur. I've long despised the right-to-choose movement. I must clarify that there are many evils at work in this horrific practice. There are not only abortionists and uneducated, scared, and many times careless girls who don't want to face the consequences of their actions, but also those who think it's alright to kill the abortionists themselves. I do not prescribe to this method of fighting the evil. As a Christian, it is my strong belief that going through the system is the Godly thing to do. It is also a belief that even these doctors, who commit such a horrendous sin, can be saved by the grace of God just like any other. Therefore, I don't agree with killing them by committing some kind of terroresque attack. We just need to keep praying for the officials we've elected to make a difference, and we must continue making our voices heard on the matters that concern us most. It's terrible to imagine all the sickening murder taking place, but it's also a wonderful idea to think that even though all these innocent children are not being allowed the chance to live, they are instead taken directly to be in God's presence. 1.3 million new additions to God's kingdom a year sounds pretty good to me, but I also have to think that those millions of lives could have made an even larger difference if they were allowed live. The US might be allowing doctors with the potential cure to cancer to be dying, or amazing pastors and evangelists to slip from our world, or even future politicians to miss their chance to change the world. Who knows what kind of a difference those kids could have made, but it is in the past and we must look to the future and to stopping the tyranny occuring every day right in our own backyard.
