I remember a quote from former President Reagan: “It seems all the people for abortion have already been born.” That sums up my philosophy as well. Watch people as they live their life. When a medical crisis happens, it does not matter how old, whether they attend church or if they are non-believers, they always do everything possible, try every medical procedure, even go to other countries to look for a cure. This is telling me, life is precious we want to live, regardless of our station in life. I have always wondered how many of the millions of aborted precious lives would have made our world a much better place. Was there among them a future doctor to cure cancer or dementia? Was there among them a great inventor to solve our energy needs, or a great author or evangelist to reach the lost and hurting? In 2 Thessalonians 3:13, the Bible tells us to “not grow weary in doing good.” The word “weary” in the Greek means (faint, lose heart or be exhausted.). Today we fight an enemy that does not quit, who will never surrender and constantly throws as much evil and discouragement as possible at us. We, who have fought the Pro-Life battle, understand the idea of weariness and exhaustion. We support candidates who break our hearts as they promise life and succumb to a spirit of compromise. It’s so easy when we have fought so hard to want to rest. We are tired, exhausted and wonder when this fight will be won. But let’s be encouraged. We are winning this fight. Following last year’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, many states have moved to either curtail or abolish abortion altogether. In fact, a recent Gallup poll gives much encouragement if one looks deep into the questions. According to LifeSiteNews.com, “When pollsters ask the times abortion should be legal, a strong percentage of people say abortions should generally only be allowed to save the mother’s life or in cases of rape or incest. Since those rare reasons constitute approximately 2% of all abortions, many Americans oppose 98% of abortions.” This is encouraging, but let me be clear, we must refuse to stop fighting! Even one lost child is too much. This war will be won the day the murder of innocent babies has stopped! Not one day sooner. Sometimes we just have to Continue the Fight. We will not give up until total victory has been won. Let’s not become complacent with our recent victories, winning battles is not winning the war. This spiritual battle will be won on our knees in prayer and by accepting our marching orders from God. Remember the Church is a Battleship, not a cruise ship.I remember a quote from former President Reagan: “It seems all the people for abortion have already been born.” That sums up my philosophy as well.
