Bob could have given the excuse that he did not have the time. He could have claimed that standing for life was too political or was not a part of his Christian faith. Instead, at the request of his church &#8211; which says a lot right there &#8211; Bob took precious moments of his final day on earth to speak for those being led to the slaughter.<\/p>\n<p>I did not know Bob Adis. I have no idea what he did in his many years on this planet. But, what I do know is that he gave his last hours to save little babies considered by many to be expendable.\u00a0Bob saw the unborn in the womb as valuable, and for that he is a pro-life hero. He showed America that even at death, <em>life matters<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Please keep Bob&#8217;s wife and family in your prayers.
