Yesterday\u00a0marked the tragic 44th anniversary of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>. An estimated 60 million innocent lives have been lost since the decision was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1973.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the devastating consequences of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>&#8230; There are fathers who never had the privilege of a first dance with their daughters, and dads who never got to teach their sons to spell words or swing a hammer. There are mothers who never had the joy of hugging their sons, or washing their cuts and bruises after they scrape a knee. There are moms who never had the joy of having tea or of playing \u201cdress up\u201d with their girls. There are sons who never got the chance to cuddle a\u00a0brand new baby sister. There are daughters who never got to teach their baby brothers to ride a bike. There are grandparents who never got to go shopping with their grandkids. There are grandpas who never got to teach their grandsons and granddaughters to catch fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the United States is one of only four nations in the world where <\/span><a href=\"\/news\/late-term-abortion-needs-to-end-in-america\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it is legal to kill your child throughout all nine months of pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How tragic that the United States &#8211; a country recognized as the leader of the free world &#8211; is on that list. It\u2019s a cause for grief that it\u2019s necessary to even have a designated Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-160409\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DefundAd-400b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, individuals across America declare\u00a0truths that human beings honestly shouldn\u2019t have to say about other human beings. It should go without saying that abortion is wrong because a father shouldn\u2019t abandon his\u00a0child or child\u2019s mother. It should be recognized that abortion is wrong because it has hurtful emotional and physical consequences to women. It\u2019s unfortunate that pastors have to tell their congregations that abortion is wrong because every life has value no matter the circumstances. It\u2019s unfortunate that teachers have to tell students that abortion is not okay because 1) preborn babies are human beings and 2) preborn babies feel pain, and <a href=\"\/news\/how-the-media-promotes-junk-science-on-fetal-pain\/\">possibly\u00a0far sooner than 20 weeks<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even this week, as we recall with somberness the nearly 60 million lives lost to various barbaric abortion methods, there are children who will be violently ripped from the comfort of their mothers&#8217; bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day, I pray we won\u2019t have to have a Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
