I know I’m probably expected to post about today’s Roe v. Wade 40th anniversary, but I’d rather just pray.
I, too, shall pray.
I will pray that women* will continue to have access to a safe and legal abortion if they so choose to have one.
I will pray that someday, close-minded people will open their minds to see that, hey - women* have brains too! And that they can make their own decisions.
And I will pray that you, good sir, will see that God has intended for us to love - not to shame.
I'm fully aware that women make their own decisions. My ministry has brought me into contact with far too many women shattered by their past decision to abort a child of theirs to not care deeply about this.
I fully agree that God intends us to love, not to shame. If I shame anyone -- including you -- please call me on it, since it's not my intent and I will immediately retract whatever I said. May I mention however that not to think that it's a "shame" that 55 million children have died since 1973 through legal abortion is simply absurd.
This is not a day that we have anything to celebrate.
